Dr. says “Everything looks great” but MMC and Chemical

We are down to the last tested embryo and desperately seeking understanding for why we had 2 losses. One transfer was successful until MMC D&C at 8 weeks, the other was either a chemical loss or didn’t stick at all. I am doing ReceptivaDx in hopes of some answers and looking into Lupron suppression or diagnostic laparoscopy. I’m scared of taking the risk and failing again without some sort of change or action. Please advise if you can!

So much loss. Now what?

I’m new here, so please forgive me if I am not in the right place but I need to hear from others. Here is my experience:

I conceived my living DS very easily 4 years ago. No problems. I easily conceived a second time 2 years later, ending in a 20 week D&C due to spina bifida. I took prenatals but clearly didn’t have enough folate in my body. This haunts me every day. I am very responsible and worry that my thoughts of desperately wanting a BG led me to this vicious cycle. I went through a dark period of grief afterwards, as well as the loss of my body’s ability to conceive on its own. I have done so many tests and been told that everything looks fine.

We eventually gave in and tried IUI, then proceeded with IVF. We had 3 PGT tested F embryos. First transfer worked but ended in MMC and another D&C at 8.5 weeks. I then lost my mother, adding immense grief to the already existing stress. Second transfer was either a failure or very early chemical.

We are down to our last embryo and I have lost brain cells researching about silent endometriosis and anything else under the sun.

Any experiences or advice would be immensely appreciated.
