They also found a genetic mutation (I'm homozygous for the C677T MTHFR mutation), but my homocysteine level is normal, so it does not seem to be a major issue. I am so grateful that there is nothing seriously wrong with my body. Also, knowing that the last miscarriage was caused by a genetic defect made a big difference in my mind because it was a question ofShinyunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03223210004939369907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306924738545479337.post-82810789254097746742009-03-18T19:14:24.695-07:002009-03-18T19:14:24.695-07:00Ugh - looking at that test brings back memories. ...Ugh - looking at that test brings back memories.

My ob/gyn didn't prescribe even a single test, since "one miscarriage is so (damn) normal". I really don't want to take a risk next time, but my ob/gyn would obviously not allow me to take any of the tests mentioned here.

When I had my second miscarriage, I was really angry with myself for not having insisted on the tests. I think you should demand that you be tested. It's really not that complicated from the patient's point of view.

I read in a book that excessive amounts of prolactin can cause miscarriage, but my doctor does not want to test for prolactin because the levels might be affected by my current pregnancy.

With me, I had most of my tests about 6 weeks after my miscarriage. My doctor said that the results would be screwed up by my pregnancy hormones, so I had to wait until my body returned to its "normal" state. I believe most of the blood work was done 6 weeks after the miscarriage, and then I had a couple more about Shinyunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03223210004939369907noreply@blogger.com
