Stories after 2 early miscarriages - I really need to read other people’s stories 😭😭😭

Hi OP,

I hope my story gives you some hope.

I have PCOS and after 2 years of trying, multiple tests, weight loss, lifestyle changes etc we were finally sent to an ivf doctor. We had just returned from holiday and I had been due on at the start but totm was a no show, felt sick etc but put it down to having just got back from Egypt and thought maybe I'd eaten something off despite being super careful. Took a test and it was positive. Took about 10 other tests and still positive. Successful pregnancy, healthy baby.

3 years down the line we started trying again but nothing happened. Multiple tests etc, another two years until finally the gynae said it's not likely to happen. Also wouldn't be eligible for ivf as my hormone levels were so high. Was very upset for a while but eventually accepted our position. Super grateful to have our boy so we were a family of three.

Not long after I suffered an ectopic pregnancy - had no idea I was pregnant until I collapsed due to internal bleeding. Rushed in for emergency surgery and had to have a full laparotomy and tube removed. Doctors estimate I was 7-8 weeks along and there may have been two foetuses. A very scary ordeal and one I wouldn't wish on anybody. This took some getting over. I won't lie it knocked me on my ass, mentally and physically.

A year down the line, an early miscarriage whilst at work. I knew what it was but to be honest I was so grateful it wasn't an ectopic that I was able to deal with this one fairly well. Disappointed but the thought of the surgery and how close I came to not being around for my son, in a way it was a relief.

Another year down the line, we decide to relocate from London and truly draw a line under having another baby. We buy a house, I quit my job, take my son out of school etc. A week before moving I'm late by a couple of days but I put it down to stress of moving etc. As I'm packing, found some tests I had left over and just took one as a curiosity - pregnant! I'm never lost for words normally but I was gobsmacked. Healthy pregnancy (aside from gestational diabetes but managed that with diet and met form in towards the end) and a very quick birth following induction at 38 weeks. She was small at 6lb 8oz but very healthy and passed all her bloods.

Child one has just turned 10yrs and my rainbow baby is now 2.5yrs. Even with PCOS, 2 losses and only 1 Fallopian tube I've been blessed.

I wish you all the best and hope you get your rainbow 🌈

Sorry for your losses. I've had 3 miscarriages. I also miscarried my first and second pregnancies. I was heartbroken and like you and so worried something was wrong. My third pregnancy was successful though so I hope that gives you some hope that third time can work out. I then had another miscarriage a few years after that successful pregnancy, followed by what I'm hoping is another successful pregnancy (I'm currently 31 weeks).

My doctor has told me that my miscarriages are probably just horrible luck. Although it's hard not to think the worst I know.

I did start taking low dose aspirin after my first two miscarriages. Not sure if it made any difference as I did have another miscarriage whilst taking it, but also had my two successful pregnancies too? Maybe have a google of repeat miscarriages and low dose aspirin and have a read and then ask your GP for advice? Mine just said that it doesn't hurt so I gave it a try.

Best of luck, really hope that things work out for you soon.

So sorry that you're going through this. It's such an awful experience but there's nothing to say you won't have a successful pregnancy.

I had 5 early losses within 13 months and then fell pregnant with my daughter who is a week old today. Speak to your GP about aspirin - I think that's what did it for me.

Hi OP,
sorry for your losses. Have you spoken with a GP about this?

I had 2 early miscarriages. One at five weeks and one at seven. I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant. It's an awful feeling and I hope your ok.

Sorry for your loss 💐
I also had 2 early m/c s similarly timed to yours. 3rd preg went smoothly and dc is 12 now. Don’t lose hope, sometimes we never know why these things happen but it certainly doesn’t mean you won’t go on to have a healthy pregnancy and child
