I miscarriaged twice.
I am thinking to take tests to check
what's wrong beofre next pregnancy.
But I am scared about the costs for a
series of tests.
I checked general prices on net, but I am
not sure what my insurance will cover or
not.
If you take the tests, would you let me
know how much you paid and what kind of
insurance you had??
I have a PPO as the first and a HMO as the
second insurance.
I am from Canada so I am not sure what
your plans will cover. But I thought I
would just let you know about my condition
as it may be what you have also.
I have had 5 miscarriages from the ages of
32-35 (i am now 40 and 12 weeks
pregnant)!! My doctor tested me for the
anti cardio lupin antibody (i may have
spelled it incorrectly) this antibody
causes miscarriages usually in the first 8
weeks or so of pregnancy. I believe it is
a fairly easy test to find out if you have
it ( a bloodtest) also the fix is fairly
easy too ( a daily dose of low dose
aspirin and or a shot of heparin).
I hope this helps. I know too well how
difficult infertility is!

Thank You! Posted: 07-11-07 22:08pm
Thank you for your reply.
I am happy to hear that you are now in 12
weeks!!
I am 39.. no time....
Both of my miscarriages are dring the
first trimester.
6weeks..or so.
I am from Japan. My doctor in Japan told
me that my egg is not quite good because
of my age before my last miscarriage...But
I suspect that there maybe another reasons
for my miscarriages.
Your English is very good. Please dont be
discouraged by your age. My doctors told
me the same thing. I went through 3
atempts at invitro - before when my doctor
told me the quality of my eggs were not
good due to age. I did finally give up on
having a biological child and we adopted a
beautiful little baby. He is now 11 months
old. We got our little boy a month before
my 40th birthday. I am still in shock that
I am pregnant. Good luck to you.
My brother lived in Japan several years
ago teaching English. He loved it and
loved the people even more.

I just made an appointment for tests for
miscarriages.
But it will be in October. Doctors in the
Hospital seemed very very busy!!
I may contact other doctors in clinics.
You will have two babies!!
I had never thought about adoption. Just
not familiar in Japan, but I talked to my
husband. We agreed that it would be a good
option.
Although I am not in a hurry to adopt a
baby, I feel somehow much better.
Your brother was in Japan??? I rarely go
back to my country..I miss Japaneso food
so much.
I must have misunderstood you, I thaught
you lived in Japan now. My brother still
goes on about the food and the way of
life. he really enjoyed it. iT IS too bad
you have to wait so long to have the tests
done. Are you seeing a fertility
specialist or a obgyn. We have a real
doctor shortage here where I live (thunder
bay Ontario) but I get in much quicker
than that.

I've been in the US for seven years.
(althougyh my English is still so
Japanized..)
Nice to hear that your brother love
Japanese food!!!
I made an appointment with a doctor in a
hospital associated with a university. He
is an OB doctor but must be familiar with
the tests for miscarriage. Probably,
before meeting him, I will also meet
obstetricians in some clinics and try to
be done what they can do.
I think there are many ogstetricians here,
but many of them do not deal with the
tests for miscarriage.
