3 Miscarriages - Should we try again?From: Marie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 4 Nov 1999 10:18:00 -0600 (CST)
My husband and I have suffered three miscarriages - one in 1991, one in 1997 and one in August of 1999. We are blessed with one healthy son who was born in July of 1998. We would really like to have one more child. I am aprehensive as I don't want to go through another miscarriage. We had genetic testing done and all was normal. I had a saline ultrasound and a histeroslinpingogram (?) and all appears to be normal with my reproductive system. My doctor says although my chances for another miscarriage are greater than a non-habitual aborter there is still a very good chance I could carry a healthy baby to term. He advises that upon a positive pregnancy test I should be given progesterone. He says there is research that indicates progesterone could help although it is not a proven fact. He says progesterone supplements won't hurt so it would be worth taken it on the chance that it may help. I am 41 years old and in very good health. I am scheduled to see a specialist concerning a very bad snoring problem I have - my primary care physician believes I have a severe case of sleep apnea. My questions: 1 - are my chances good to carry to term again? 2 - should I take the progesterone supplement? Is it true it will not hurt the baby? 3 - Could sleep apnea have contributed to miscarriages? My husband claims I hold my breath for long periods of time and gasp for air as though I were not receiving enough oxygen. Could this effect the oxygen levels in the baby? Thanks for your time and though.
