Endometritis
TW: Current pregnancy, previous LCs
Hi everyone, I’m really unsure what to do and could use some guidance.
So, I’ve been doing a lot of research about endometritis and I think there’s a >90% chance I have it. I’ve had 7 early miscarriages since 2024 and I’m currently 4w3d pregnant. I didn’t start researching until I was already pregnant.
I meet a lot of the risk factors for chronic endometritis. My 2 living children were born via c-section, with my first I laboured for 36 hours, the doctor manually ruptured the amniotic sac and it was contaminated with meconium. I had an emergency c-section. That was 9 years ago. It could’ve also been caused by any one of the 7 miscarriages. I’ve never had an STI.
My question is, what do I do now? I’ve contacted my usual clinic and set up an appointment. I’ve been referred to a fertility clinic, but my first appointment isn’t until June 29th and it’s over the phone. Should I push for pregnancy safe treatment without diagnosis? Do I just leave it and hope that I’m part of the ~17% of pregnancies that succeed without treatment? I’m in Canada so I’m worried that without diagnosis they’ll refuse me treatment, but I can’t get a uterine biopsy if I’m already pregnant.
I feel so stupid. Like I’ve doomed this baby to die. I had hope with all my previous miscarriages, but with this one, knowing what I know now feels like I’m just waiting for it to die and that I let all my previous ones die too because I didn’t do my due diligence. No one ever brought it up to me so I had to learn about CE through Reddit and reading medical studies.
6 of my losses occurred spontaneously between 5 and 7 weeks. One made it to 8 weeks exactly, when I miscarried I delivered an intact and seemingly empty amniotic sac. I never made it to my ultrasound date with any of them.
