Default ureaplasma

Hello,
I am 30 years old with a history of 6 miscarriages (no live births). My first miscarriage happened at about 8 weeks and the remainder were between 4 and 5 weeks. Anyway, I wrote to you on a previous post about how all of my testing has come back normal. Except my endometrial biopsy came back with a progesterone deficiency.My last cycle I started progesterone after ovulation and still miscarried. Because my RE does not have any other answers, he decided to test me for mycoplasma and ureaplasma. I received my results today which were positive for ureaplasma. My husband and I began our cycle with Doxycycline today. In your past, have you ever treated someone who has a history of recurrent pregnancy loss for ureaplasma and had success. I know that this infection is controversial as to if it causes miscarriage. I do not want to get my hopes up but I am pretty much beginning to feel hopeless. Another controversial issue is on my chromosome testing, it showed there was an abnormality with my chromosome #9. (It was broken or turned upside down), I'm sorry, don't know the medical terms. Anyway, my RE spoke with a geneticist who at first stated it was controversial if that abnormality causes miscarriages, and then a cytogeneticist (?) stated it was of no clinical significance. My mind is all over the place with all of these findings. It is very frustrating that no medical cause could be found. None of my tissue from my miscarriages were sent for testing as I miscarried so early on. My first miscarriage was a shock and I did not even know I was pregnant until about 7 weeks. Anyway, thank you for reading my post. Hopefully, you have some information that is hopeful.

Icon14 Miscarriages

Progesterone insufficiency is the cause of 40% of recurrent miscarriages. I would treat this.
