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

I’m really sorry that you’re going through this 😢 I’m praying hard for you 🙏🏻❤️ hopefully everything will turn out to be ok. I’ve had 2 early miscarriages myself due to chromosomal abnormalities. My husband and I did fertility check and everything came back great, only a minor problem: his sperm morphology rate was on the lower side (but not very concerning), Doctor said we could still conceive naturally, but after ttc for 1,5 years we decided to go for IUI. And we were very grateful that we successfully conceived on our 1st IUI. I’m 6 months pregnant now with a baby girl. Although it’s true that IUI doesn’t prevent recurrent miscarriage but I personally think it’s worth trying at least once before proceeding with IVF, as IUI is a much simpler process and it’s far cheaper than IVF. But it also depends on many factors of your fertility condition. I think in my case since there was no problem with me, only with my husband’s sperm, the process of washing his sperms helped to isolate high quality sperms which then were used for insemination (this is just my assumption, it also could have been just pure luck). If you haven’t already, I recommend you to do the fertility tests so you could get a better sense of which treatment would work best for you and your husband. I wish you all the best and i’m sending lots of love your way 💕

agree, I did IUI first too since both me and my hub are fine.. just that I wasn't lucky even trying the 2nd time.. switched to ivf also no luck 😅 but still there are many successful rates and it definitely depends on body condition and patient decision..
