18 Misscarrages But New Hope

Donation protected
My name is Georgina from Kildare I have one son Leon who was born in 2004. In 2008, myself and my husband Ken began trying to conceive another baby. That year, we were overjoyed to discover that I was pregnant. But joy suddenly turned to heartbreak when I had my first miscarriage. It was to be the first of a long list of 18 recurring miscarriages for us . Doctors told us that miscarriage was part of the pregnancy process. But after we lost our third baby, doctors began to investigate why. It was devastating. We’d talked about having another child and when we found out we were pregnant we were over the moon. We were married that year and then we were pregnant so it seemed like a great year.The doctors just told me that I was silly to try because I was so young, and normally people don’t start a family until their late 20s, early 30s. The second miscarriage would have been a year after the first one, in 2009. Then I went to the doctor again and they told me not to worry, I was young, that everything was fine. The third miscarriage happened about six months later and I got the same response.My husband and I moved to Cork and I found out that I was pregnant in 2010 after several more miscarriages . I was with a new doctor, and I explained my story to her. It was then that the doctor listened and sent me for tests to Cork University Hospital.My file was eventually sent to an international group of doctors in the US who were researching miscarriages. They identified two possible causes for our baby losses. They suggested that my womb might be rejecting each pregnancy and that a scratch procedure to the endometrial lining could stimulate the uterus’ receptivity to the embryo and increase the success rate of live birth. They also suggested that because of blood type is rhesus negative, that perhaps my immune system might be attacking each pregnancy.I was given steroid treatments, but still the miscarriages continued. In one year, we had suffered five. Last July, we lost another baby at nine weeks, a milestone which we hadn't reached before and believed our luck might have turned. But again it wasn't to be.The doctors in Cork University Maternity Hospital have done all they can. We’ve done the steroids which are still in trail.A doctor got in contact with me. It’s opening a new line for me. The doctor has now come forward with a treatment that could give us that chance to finally get the child we have longed for. We need your help to make our family dreams come through . The treatment is INTRALIPID INFUSIONS . Researchers and trial studies conducted both in and outside of the U.S. are showing raving results. A lot of studies have target women who suffered from immune disorders and recurrent miscarriages and/or failed IVF cycles and more likely than not achieve a successful live birth after undergoing these intralipid infusions.
