your blood type does not have anything to do with your losses. ask your dr to do a blood test, you may have low progesterone levels, which can cause miscarrage.
im sorry for your losses.

You and your boyfriend are fine, The miscarriages had nothing to do with your blood type(s). Early miscarriages happen for a number of reasons and it mostly has to do with the fact that something was wrong with the fetus, not the mother.
The only time blood types come into the factor in pregnancy has to do if the mother's RH Factor is negative and the father's RH Factor is positive. In this case, the baby is more than likely going to be RH+ as well and the mother's RH- sees the baby as a foriegn invader (like a virus) and the mother's immune system goes to work attacking what it sees as something foreign.
As someone previously stated, women who are RH- can get a series of shots throughout her pregnancy called RHOGHAM which will make it so the mother's blood type no longer looks for the RH Factor. The person said this shot also hurts, this is a false conception, it is a normal needle that is injected into the upper arm, it is nothing extreme.

I think you are under the impression that your miscarriages were caused by your blood types. The only time that happens is when YOU as the female have a negative blood type and your male partner has a positive blood type. If you have positive blood then you will not get RH factor which is what it's called when the mother's immune system attacks a fetus that has a positive blood type. This ONLY happens to women with negative blood, and even then they have a shot for it now called RHogam. (The shot hurts like crap by the way)
Maybe the shot has changed,eight years ago the shot was given in the rear, the needle was huge and the mixture was a thick gel. Glad to hear there are options for it now.

Sorry about ur two losses...my mom had 3 miscarriages, one of them was for twins they just died for no apparent reason, one died because of no heartbeat,..and the other one was stuck at an age and not growing it'd be 2 months gestation its whole life(which is very rare)..so she had to get a dnc...(NOT an abortion)...
The blood type has nothing to do with ur miscarriages.
To keep from having another one, you should eat right and take prenatal vitamins to get ur body ready to hold ur baby.
Ur progesterone levels may be low, or some other reason, but ur blood type has nothing to do with it.

first of all, blood variety has no longer something to do with your means to hold a sprint one. It has to do with rH factors. I surely have O- blood too. the infant would have his very own blood variety, the pass of nutrition happens on the placenta. IT relies upon on how plenty scaring or injury became achieved with your abortion to whether or no longer you may carry a healthful being pregnant. in any different case, theres no reason you may no longer have toddlers.

Yes, it has nothing to do with it. I'm B+ too. It's when the mom is RH- that problems can arise.
