3 recurrent miscarriages

Hi all, I was scheduled to do an IUI in march however I got pregnant naturally. I am currently pregnant 7 weeks. Yesterday I had spotting and immediately went to the O & G Centre as I had 2 recurrent miscarriages before this. The doc tried to scan me at the tummy but he couldnt not locate the baby. My heart sank as the 2nd miscarriage was like this as well. Anyways he did a transvaginal scan and finally after having a hard time, he found the baby hidding somewhere. There was no fetal pole. My HCG results came back very low for a 7 weeks pregnancy and will have to come back again this friday for another blood test. Right now, I have no hopes and am ready to acceot that this pregnancy is not meant for me, for the 3rd time... Questions is, is IUI actually a great option for me if lets say this pregnancy doesnt stick? I heard IUI doesnt prevent recurrent miscarriage. I've wasted so much time and I dont wish to waste anymore :( Will doctors allow me to go straight to IVF? #pleasehelp #advicepls #pregnancy

hi there, sorry to hear what you've been going through.. hoping that things will turn out fine for you. In the case of recurrent miscarriages, I don't think IUI can solve this issue because its just insemination of washed sperms into the uterus while timing ovulation in hopes of achieving a pregnancy. Since you are capable of conceiving naturally prior, I don't think IUI is gonna do any help for this case. IVF on the other hand is retrieving your eggs and fertilising with the sperm in the lab and depending on situation, pre-genetic testing can be done on the embryos to see of there are any chromosomal abnormalities since most of the time why miscarriages occur is due to the chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo. I believe there can be some kinda test run to find out as well. I've been thru failed cycles of iui and ivf myself in the case of undiagnosed infertility but got pregnant naturally miraculously before starting my next ivf cycle. I think you can discuss and raise your concerns to your doctor for the next step and for professional advice. Meanwhile, please take care of yourself.. all hope is not lost and I hope everything goes well for you..

Thank you. I'll speak to my doctor if I can get more tests done and see if they can give the right treatment for me. Thank you again.
