I am sorry for all of your losses. As you can see from my siggie, I lost a beautiful daughter at 1 year of age to mitochondrial disease. Generally those with certain mitochondrial disease are usually miscarried or die shortly after birth. I don't believe it is a test that they usually look for because it can be expensive to test for and not all that common. I know it must be very frustrating to have recurring loses like this. It took us over a year to diagnose my daughter and in the end she passed away before we had the diagnosis. Both myself and my husband carry the gene so any future child would have a 25% chance of having the same deadly disease.
