Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi

I am 34 and had 4 miscarriages.In all the 4 cases it was the problem of the heart beat of the baby.In the first two there was no heart beat at all and in the 3rd & 4 it came and just disappeared before the 7th Week.My husbank had some mortility problem.Doctor has now done the test caryotyping for me and the reslult was ok.He also gave my some injection called HLT saying that may be in pregnancy some antibodies are developing in my body and it is fighting against the baby as a foreign body.He said that this injections are helpful in some case.Now I have done one IUI which was not successfull.Now this month doctor said me to try normally.Can any one hlp me one this.Can I have a successfull pregnancy even after 4 miscarriages.Should I have to go for IVF immemdiately rather than trying for IUI

Thanks & regards

Sorry for the late reply. No, I haven' t heard of LIT treatment or HLT injections. I will ask my doctor about it. I was told that main reason for missing heartbeat could be that the sperms and eggs didn' t match (abnormal) eventhough they fertilized properly. The doc never even mentioned about LIT treatment or HLT injections. I' m thinking if I should still continue with the same doc? So far, I' ve not got any possitive result and it is becoming very frustrating.

You hang in there and everything will be fine. That' s what I' m doing.

Take care
Vai Vaidehi replied. Hi Priya,

I' ve also had 2 miscarriages so far. both times the problem was that the heart beat was missing even after 12 weeks. My doc says that this happened because of the abnormal embryos. I have been through 4 IUIs and 3 IVFs. Last two IVFs were successful initially and then failed due to lack of heart beat. Now, i' m so tired of the procedure and medicine, we have decided to take a break and try naturally. I' ve missed my period but i' m too terrified to do a home test. I' m not ready to see the negative result so not checking it. BTW, I have been diagnosed with PCOS so the periods could be delayed by weeks (though I' ve been having regular periods for last almost 2 years).

Keep your hopes up! Wish you all the best! ruvi replied. Hi priya....I' ve heard it frm one of the acquaintences. This antibody thing need a treatment called LIT. Just ask your doc abt this. Also lemme know if you need that doc' s name n address who successfully cured the lady I know. rati replied. Hi Priya,
first of all i would tell u not to lose heart evry problem has a solution.As rightly said by semi do not try IUI for 2 long .Secondly i wld suggest u to go to some good infertility expert in ur city .All the best semi replied. Priya

You can try few cycle of IUI but don' t waste too much time if it is not successful. Also you need to get PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis ) with the IVF cycle since you have history of miscarriages and it is really helpful for ivf success with this kind of history.
good luck
