Hi bibi1388. I too had my 4th miscarrage but on December 4th. ( a d&c at 11 weeks) I am sorry to hear what you are going through as I know and can relate. I have a healthy 4 year old son as well. My doctor told me I have mthfr homozygous after my third miscarrage. I went to a fertility specialist next who put me on folgard (supplement for folic acid and B vitamins), progesterone, prenatals, baby aspirin, and lovenox. Unfortunately, I had my 4th miscarrage while on all of these meds. I have read about other people who have been successful. Many others... so keep your chin up! My chin is still up(well... i try to keep it up on most days!!!) and I hope to try again in a few months. As for the lovenox... my insurance covered 80%. It cost about $815.00 a month. (for 1 shot a day) I was reinbursed for all but about $250.00. Which was still a lot of money in a one income home. Shop around at different parmacies for the best price. The company who makes lovenox named Santa Fe will only give you lovenox for free if you make less than the poverty line. The cost of lovenox, progesterone and co-pays for the specialist put quite a financial burden on us. But we had to take the chance and would do it again if it means having a chance for another baby. Good luck with getting pregnant again and keeping any new babies healthy and alive. I cry for both of us as I read and write about this.
