WHITNEY PORT ROSENMAN’S KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Investigate Autoimmune Issues: Multiple miscarriages with heartbeats may indicate an underlying autoimmune issue, even if standard tests are negative.
- Learn more about Fertility Testing: Understand the importance of comprehensive fertility testing to learn more about miscarriage symptoms: Screen for conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and adenomyosis.
- Explore Blood Thinners: Blood thinners like Lovenox can be crucial for patients to potentially stop miscarriage with recurrent pregnancy loss, especially after seeing a heartbeat.
- Navigate the Surrogate Selection Process: When choosing a surrogate, it's essential to consider factors such as age, previous pregnancy outcomes, and detailed medical history.
- Be Proactive in Fertility Care: Patients should be proactive in their fertility journey, asking questions and seeking second opinions when necessary. Don't accept "unexplained infertility" - keep investigating potential causes
