Coping with pregnancy after stillbirth

I have had 3 miscarriages, 1 live birth, 1 stillbirth, and now I think I'm experiencing a 4th miscarriage. For any of you who also have a history of repeated miscarriage-- I have been tested for almost EVERYTHING and it is all "normal"-- no clotting disorders, no genetic problems, no thyroid disease, husband normal etc. Anyway, it is so incredibly frustrating, and most doctors don't even want to see you if you have such early losses like I do. Anyone else have this problem or have to see a reproductive endocrinoligist for your condition? I was just reading about a treatment with steroids (prednisone) to prevent the mothers immune system from attacking itself-- anyone heard of this?

I have had 2 live births, 2 early miscarriages (6 and 9.5 wks)and 1 stillbirth (35.5 wks). I'm currently 33.5 wks pregnant. I, too, was tested for everything. I did see an RE after my 3rd loss. They did end up doing some additional testing that the OB hadn't done. The only thing differently that I have done with this pregnancy is, they put me on Progesterone suppositories during the first trimester and I am taking an additional vitamin called Folbic (extra folic acid and B vitamins). I also have done acupuncture throughout this pregnancy. Hoping and praying that this one ends with a live baby. If you have any questions about the testing I had, please feel free to message me. Have you had an HSG or hysteroscopy done?

Thanks Kerri,
Yes, I've had an hsg, it was "normal" too. I have been on progesterone with my last 3 pregnancies (my daughter, stillborn daughter and current miscarriage), i thought the progesterone was the "magic bullet", but now I am just so bewildered. Just hate going to doctor after doctor and not having any answers.
