HI everyone
I've just had my third MC. First was at 7 weeks (found out it was MMC with scan at 10 wks - I didn't know my dates as had not actually had a period since coming off the pill 18 months before), second was at 5 wks and this third one was at 8 weeks (after having seen a heartbeat at 7 wks). However, after the first 2 MCs I also had a lovely healthy baby who is now 17 mths.
I live in Spain and they've told me that I should go for tests before getting pregnant again to see if they can find a reason for the MCs.
After the 2nd MC, which was here in Spain too, they did a test on the baby and sent me a report saying it was due to chromosomal problems.
Am feeling quite confused. I do have weird, irregular periods and I also had a huge ovarian cyst (10cm) with this pregnancy that has just miscarried.
I guess I just wanted some advice - since DH and I did manage to have a healthy baby, is it more likely that we have just had terrible bad luck with these 3 MCs? Or is it possible that we do have issues and that we were just incredibly lucky to get our DS?
Has anyone else got experience of this - recurrent miscarriages for a reason while also having had a successful pregnancy?
