Another Miscarriage.....

I have a friend who is RH negative as well. She had to have the shot as well. She had a little boy 15 years ago after losing one child. 8 years later she had a daughter who is now 7. Two years ago she had another miscarriage. I think that it can be done. It is h*** o* you to have miscarriages as I just cannot imagine but keep in mind when you DO have a baby, it is all worth it! Keep trying! Follow the doc's advice or maybe get some second and third opinions. do some research online and learn more about it but know that it can be done. ;o) Good luck!

I had 3 miscarriages in a row. They did all of the tests and everything with me was normal. 2 of the miscarriages resulted in a D&C which showed the babies had trisomy (one was trisomy 14 and one was trisomy 20). I got pregnant the 4th time and have a healthy 6 month old girl.with my first child, I had no miscarriages and no problems. This time I was
"statistically unlucky". I am so sorry for what you are going through. It will work out for you!

I had a miscarriage before my daughter, then thought I had another (it was a complication but the baby was fine after all). I learned through both experiences that miscarriages are common and most times it's really not caused by anything, just nature/God's way of working. Someone said to me after the first miscarriage that "it just wasn't in God's time". That really resonated with me. Now, very often when I look at my daughter I think, you wouldn't be here if I didn't have that first miscarraige... And while I know I'd love that little soul just as much, I really can't imagine life without my little girl and her unique and special soul. I learned I am not in control - a lesson that has served me well (and I'm continually learning as a parent). Hang in there, and know it will all work out.

J., I am sorry for your loss. Having a miscarriage is a common thing unfortunately. I had a miscarriage prior to my first son and was totally surprised at how many women at my church came up to me and said they had been through the same thing. (have you talked to your female relatives about their history?) I didn't start trying for children until I was in my 30's so my case is a little different. To encourage you if you decide to wait for a while I had 1 child at 36 and 3 miscarriges later, after my OB told me I would never be able to carry to term,( LOL) another at age 44. I will say a prayer for you and your family.

I am sorry for your loss. I too, suffered from multiple miscarriages after a perfectly uneventful pregnancy. I eventually became pregnant again on my own, but on reading about symptoms and such, I now think I suffered from low progesterone. It may be worth looking into. I tended to have brown spotting days before my period, which is a symptom.

Best of luck to you. Hang in there! I have a 7 year old and a 1 year old, so it is not impossible!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage prior to my firstborn and several more before my second born. You are not alone although I'm sure it feels like it right now. My miscarriages are due to protein s & c deficiency which causes blood clots (one of the leading causes of miscarriages). Go with your gut instincts. If you feel something could be wrong ask for genetic counseling and testing. I know they prefer to wait for 3 losses due to the expense of the testing but I believe peace of mind is worth the expense. Your insurance should cover the counseling and testing. You may want to call your insurance company to find out exactly what they cover and then ask your ob to refer you to genetic counselor. Good Luck and God bless.

I am so sorry for your losses. Just know you are not alone. There are way more miscarriages than are actually discussed. take care of your heart, and your family. Do not give up hope!

I am sending you a healing heat and peace.

I am so sorry for your losses and you need to know that you are not alone and don't give up home. I had a m/c in 2004, a wonderful little boy in 2005, a m/c in 2008, m/c in 2009, a beautiful little girl in 2010 and another m/c in 2011. My doctor also said that in med school that they are trained to say that you need to wait 3 months, but that more recent research indicates that in an early m/c one cycle is sufficient. You may want to ask him again or do your own research, you need to do what you are comfortable with. Your body may be ready before you are emotionally or vice versa and you need to start TTC when you are completely ready. I am ready to TTC now, but not sure hubby is there yet, of course I am still waiting out that first cycle so it doesn't matter yet anyways. Good luck in the future and if you want testing then I agree with the other posters and check into it.

One out of five pregnancies end in miscarriage, they are that common. I had two early miscarriages before having my daughter. There is really no need to wait three months after a miscarriage to try again, especially when the miscarriages are early in pregnancy.

Good luck!

Hang in there, I honestly believe in things happen for a reason as much as I hate to think people who want babies have to work so hard, I know a few friends first hand, I have to to keep my faith where it belongs. So with that, I hope you are able to keep your faith whatever it may be and trust your body and trust your ability to bring another healthy baby when the time is right. I suffered a miscarriage when I was younger and was told I could not carry to term, there was an issue with my system, but when the time was right I had no complications where they said there would be. Well wishes, treat your body and your family well and things will fall into place when the time is right ... and remember the practicing is the fun part!

Yes. I had two miscarriages between by two successful pregnancies. My MIL had 4 children and 4 miscarriages. Quite common, try not to let yourself worry to much about worse case scenarios. You might find reading a book called "taking charge of your fertility" a little empowering.

Miscarriages are very common many go unknown for various reasons.Just because you have had 1 or several healthy pregnancies doesn't mean you won't have any abnormal pregnancies or the risks of miscarriages or suffer from fertility issues.Follow the guide lines of the Dr. & if you have another miscarriage I would start to look into the causes.

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. A good friend who had no trouble conceiving her first had a terrible time with her second. She had three unexplained miscarriages (8 weeks, 11 weeks and 12 weeks) and a 22 week loss due to Trisomy-18. She and her husband did a couple of rounds of IUI and planned on IVF as the next step to be able to test the embryos for genetic problems and transfer only healthy ones. She started acupuncture before starting her cycle and got pregnant naturally, and her son is now 18 months old. Secondary infertility is not uncommon and is treatable, especially because you already have a history of a healthy pregnancy. If I were you, i would try acupuncture before you TTC again. Hopefully your third time will the charm but if you have another loss, you will be referred to specialist who will be able to help you. I'm sending you big hugs, and again, I'm so sorry for you loss.

"PLEASE" ask your doctor for Progesterone suppositories I had 2nack to back MC the first one I passed the baby, the second one I had to have a D& C & I also had a healthy PG/delivery etc.

You don't say how how old you are & I did have my levels tested & they looked good before I was PG but once I became PG my body didn't make enough to carry the baby.

Also the w/first mc they said to wait 3 months I switched dr's & got the go ahead IF my next cycle after the bleeding stopped was normal if not wait till you get a normal cycle & then TTC.

I had a miscarriage in Nov '03 and then a second one in March '04. My doctor wanted to perform some blood tests (I can't remember which ones) and he needed to draw blood like the first and third day of my period. Well, before I had my next period I was pregnant again and went on to have a totally normal pregnancy and a perfectly healthy baby girl. I have since had another healthy pregnancy resulting in a healthy little boy. We never did find out why I had the miscarriages. I believe they happen more often then one would would think and with today's technology the pregnancy tests detect a positive pregnancy so early. With my second miscarriage, if I hadn't wanted so badly to be pregnant and taken the test so early I probably would never even have known I was pregnant! I'm not trying to minimize your loss, it sucks no matter what, but I guess my point is that maybe there was no real reason for the miscarriages or any thing wrong, sometimes it just happens.
I wish you the best of luck!

So sorry for your loss. Good Luck! And try and stay strong.

My cousin had the exact same senario. Perfect textbook pregnancy with no complications for number one. Two miscarriages in a row. Then she had her second child with no complications. I pray that you will be comforted in your sorrow and have hope.
