Question about treating SCH

I have a question about treatment of SCH. I have had 3 SCH's, the third of which is in the second trimester (I am now 16 weeks). I was on lovenox and BA but was told to stop both.

Do you recommend treating with IVIg or intralipids? Or is this something that just heals naturally?Thanks in advance!

cant treat it once it started , the idea is to improve implantation so it does not happen in the first place.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. You're the best!!An implantation failure sounds so scary. I realize there isn't really a treatment - but once this resolves can one expect a normal pregnancy, or are people with SCH at a higher risk for other things?

Is there anything I can do besides pelvic rest and drinking water? Can travel impact this? My ob doesn't seem particularly concerned but I wonder if I need a high risk OB.

Thanks again!

Thank you, I really appreciate your response! Out of curiosity, how do you prevent SCH from happening in the first place? My RE made it sound like SCH's are fairly common with FET, but I'm not sure I understand why this would be the case...

"sometimes" they happen for no reason , but I think there are both immune and thrombophilic reasons as well, these should be addressed prior to your next conception. I feel that if you make it through without complications tthe workup might not be warranted.
