What can stop miscarriages when you have PCOS?

My PCOS history is the following:

I took glucophage one month before my first pregnancy, I stopped taking it as soon as I knew I was pregnant....5weeks pregnant...miscarriage.

Second pregnancy: I did not take anything, 7weeks pregnant...miscarriage

Third pregnancy: inyections, IVF, glucophage before and during pregnancy, 100 mg of aspirin, thyroid suplements, folic acid.....EVERYTHING!!!!....12 weeks pregnant...miscarriage

Does anybody knows anything that would stop miscarriages when you have PCOS?

That depends on exactly what is causing the miscarriage. It could be any one of a million things.
Sometimes it's genetic problems with the fetus. In that case, sending the tissue to a lab for analysis should yeild some worthwhile results.
Sometimes it's a blood clotting disorder, or an autoimmune disorder that affects you. In that case, additional testing on you would help.

Obviously, the treatment should address the specific cause of the miscarriage. With so many possible reasons, your doc will need to narrow it down a bit more before you'll know which treatments to pursue.

{HUGS} and good luck!

Thanks Diane for your post.

Genetics are not the problem, that was already analized, Blood clotting eather. My doctor tells me there is no specific reason...nothing that could stop it.

May be I will be good to ask for another opinion.

Thanks again...Goma

Yes, if your doctor is out of ideas to test for, then a second opinion would be good to get.

Have you been checked for an autoimmune disorder yet? That's one of my problems, and would have required a daily shot of heparin (I think - there were several disorders and several treatments, I may have them mixed up) from ovulation until birth in order to have a chance of a live baby. I chose not to pursue that route because of other complicating factors.

If you choose to go somewhere else for a second opinion, get copies of all your previous tests from this doctor - it could be that a new doctor would find a possible answer in the results from tests you've already had, without having to repeat the tests.

But it is true that there are some miscarriages that they just don't know the reason for. Doctors don't know *everything* yet, and miscarriages are not the most highly-studdied problems. But I hope yours is diagnosable and easily fixed. Good luck!

Explore the possibility of an incompetent cervix. Sadly, I THINK it can only be diagnosed after several miscarriages. Some go on to have a cervical cerclage which involves suturing the cervix. I THINK this is done around the 13-16th week.

I AM NO DOCTOR. I'VE JUST HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. TALK TO YOUR MD ABOUT IT IF THEY HAVE NOT CONSIDERED IT THOUGH.

Hi,
I understand your pain as a fellow PCOS sufferer. I agree that you should check progesterone levels, also I came accross this post on another board that I visit - http://www.soulcysters.net/showthrea...hreadid=68942. It discusses elevated plasminogen activity inhibitor.

Thank you very much for your answers and concerns. I visited the sites you recomended. Unfortunately all of the subjects mentioned there were covered by my physician. I took metformin, baby aspirin and progesterone. It didnīt help. I had many tests before my last pregnancy. My doc says there is no other way known to make this situation stopped.
