Hi Robin, Your story saddens me on a number of levels.  Most of all I am deeply sorry to hear about your lost babies. I am really glad that you are on your way to healing and I wish you the very best. But I know you are probably feeling that same sense of deep desperation that I recall so well. 

Your story also saddens me on another level - I went through similar struggles 15 years ago and clearly in a decade and a half nothing has changed in our healthcare system!  It is why I now know that we have to be in charge of our own health, as I see you've done the same thing I did and taken the reins.

I don't know if you've looked into Progesterone for maintaining pregnancy but it is how I went on to have three babies. Once pregnant I took progesterone for about 13 - 16 weeks (I can't remember exactly and I had three different OB/GYNs so it was slightly different with each one.)  I used Prometrium (a natural progesterone) in the form of Vaginal suppositories.  Many enlightened doctors are using progesterone - the trick is to find one or demand it on your own which is what I had to do.  Where I lived we only had two OB/GYNs to choose from so I had no real choice but to stand up for myself - there was no chance of "shopping" for a different doctor. 

I invited you to stay tuned as well because I have an upcoming blog post about the first large randomized controlled study being done in the UK specifically on women who have had recurrent miscarriages.  Even though many enlightened medical doctors are using progesterone to prevent miscarriages there is really only anecdotal evidence like mine and no large scientific studies to point to. Without a large controlled research study many doctors are reluctant to put their necks out and prescribe progesterone.  

I see that you also mention hypothyroidism - being estrogen dominant I'm sure contributes to my thyroid problem.  Even though estrogen and thyroid hormone are synergistic they compete for the same receptors which compounds the problems. 

Also check out www.Hypothyroidmom.com - Dana blogs about losing her baby because her hypothryoidism wasn't taken into account while she was pregnant.  She has great information to share specifically about miscarriages related to hypothyroidism. 

I'm sending you big healing hugs!
