I'm so sorry for all that you've been through - from a fellow person who's been through recurrent miscarriage. I am based in the UK and while miscarriage care is far from ideal over here, we did not have to contend with a financial cost on top of everything else. (Although we would have had to have paid for IVF, had that been a route we wanted to consider - ironically we would have qualified for NHS-funded fertility treatment if I'd never been pregnant). Seeing the costs written down like this really adds to my sense of outrage that so much of what is offered by way of treatment for miscarriage is often not evidence-based/ little more than educated guesswork. As you say, when we pay for something we expect something in return - but how little we know about miscarriage medicine really explodes that deal. Thank you for writing this. xx
It's so hard to muster the energy to cope with the financial cost after such a tragic/traumatic cost. It's mind-boggling to me that we can qualify for services based on criteria that really shouldn't matter!
