As I am just going through a miscarriage of a so longed for child, I am wondering whether after 1 EP and 1 Miscarriage I should push to start looking into things or is it regarded as a separate thing? Is an EP a miscarriage? I know they are not linked, but should I push as I am now 35?
Has anyone else been in this situation and ended up having a healthy pregnancy?
Thanks for any advice…

Hi,
I just wanted to say sorry for both your losses and yes i would defnitely push for testing. I know that they usually wont test until 3 losses in a row but it just takes 1 doctor or consultant to agree and could mean you dont have to go through this again.
I had an EP in april and after much cajoling i eventually persuaded a gyn consultant at the family planning clinic to review my case and scan me again. She really put my mind at ease and i left feeling excited about ttc again.
I hope everything works out for you take care of yourself and partner xx
I already did a few tests privately after the EP - I had a lap and dye, hysteroscopy, various hormones and thyroid tested, FSH and all was normal. maybe this time around I need some faith. It is so heartbreaking to go through this again, but I guess I should take some comfort to know that the egg made it down the tube… I just feel very lost and sad at the moment.
Dear MD14
I’m so sorry to hear you are feeling lost and sad. It is of course very natural to be feeling like that after your losses. Please do be kind to yourself and remember that grieving is a process which takes time. If it helps, I do know a number of women who have had both ectopics and miscarriages and then gone on to have healthy babies.
It sounds like you have had some reassuring test results in the past, which is positive even if it doesn’t feel like it at the moment.
Please give yourself time and space to heal. Please keep talking about your emotions, whether here or to a friend or family member or, if you prefer, to your GP.
Much love
