Update

We have had all the test run and the results are in....


1. DNA testing or karyotype, both male and female normal



2. Hysteroschopy (check of my uterus), normal



3. Pathology -

-Micah was a placenta malfunction, the placenta was enlarged from blood behind the uterus or from a problem with the cord. This is not common so hopefully will not be an issue for a future pregnancy.

-One of the miscarriages was likely genetic.

-One of the miscarriages is still unknown.



4. Blood work I had one more blood test done. I have a MTHFR mutation. This means I don't get enough folic acid. Folic acid helps the body absorb protein. It has been linked to miscarriages and birth defects but is not conclusive. This problem can be fixed with an extra folic acid vitamin.



Our next step will be to try at our own risk.



We will keep you posted in the coming months.
