5 losses and unexplained - a wee vent

I've just come out of the follow up appointment following my 5th loss (4 MMC and a TFMR for T18, no LC). We tested the tissue for loss 5 and the problem wasn't genetic. So IVF with PGTA is now off the table, and none of the array of testing we've had over the past few years has shown as abnormal. It's wild that so little is still understood about causes of miscarriage.

I promised myself this was the end of trying if IVF wasn't an option, but we've decided to try one last time as the consultant agreed to a kitchen sink protocol. Man, I am exhausted.

Just here for moral support I guess, and to let you all know you're not alone. There's so many of us struggling through TTC, loss, others' successful pregnancies etc., but I don't know about you, but I've never met another recurrent loss mum in person.
