it took us 6 years ttc with ds, had awful pg with bleeding, cramps, discharge, pre-eclampsia and an ec/s. afterwards i was in and out of hospital for 3 months and have had 3 consecutive mc's at between 5-9 weeks. with ds they found group b strep in my uterus and now docs are doing tests. i had my first lot of high swabs today and bloods next week. but it feels like i've given up and admitted failure. am i weird?

I agree with RR. With so much medical technology around these days, there is nothing wrong with getting a bit of help to make sure that you have the best chance of another successful pg. As you know, I've just had my 2nd m/c and if we have another one, I will be hotfooting it to the doctor's pdq! Hope the swabs weren't too bad...

All the best with your tests. you are not admitting failure, there is nothing wrong with getting a little assistance in your plight! Doesn't mean you have failed, just that you might need a leg up (for want of a better phrase!)
