To ask for your multiple miscarriage then success stories

56 replies

TakeMe2Insanity · 03/01/2019 21:19

Took a long time to have dc with multiple infertility issues. Eventually it worked via ivf. I really want dc to have a sibling. So started ttc pretty much immediately. I’ve since miscarried at 7 weeks, 20 weeks and now at 6 weeks. So if you do have a post multiple miscarriage baby could you please share them. Thank you.

3 miscarriages over 4 years. I had taken trimethoprim around the time of conception which may have been a factor with the second one. Then developed Asherman’s syndrome, had that treated, miscarried again, and a year later got pregnant with DS, who is currently 20months.

Trying to decide whether to try for no 2 - I definitely wouldn’t go through another 4 pregnancies, so if I miscarry again I may call it a day.

DS was a normal pregnancy then 4m/cs. Took clexane and progesterone and got DD .We will be celebrating DD’s 6 birthday on Wed. Best piece of advice I can give is see a recurrent m/c specialist- within mins he had reassured me that it was not if but when I would have another child. Mentally it was the first thing that helped to remove the feeling of helplessness and gave me back a sense of control.

3 miscarriages then dd1. 4 more miscarriages then dd2. Lots of chemical pregnancies too. All MC were before 12 weeks ( normally 7/8 weeks). Even after dd1, 4 more miscarriages made me think there was no way I'd get a second child. Never investigated as in both cases whilst waiting for my appt I got pregnant with dd1 and then dd2 whilst waiting for second appt. .
Would love to try for a third but hesitant to try as don't know if I can deal with that emotion again but know at some point the urge for a third will out weigh the dear.

Keep going. As all pp have shown there is so much hope.

for all pp losses

3 missed miscarriages, a chemical pregnancy and an eptopic. Just waiting for my healthy wee boy, now at 37 weeks. And we were apparently going to miscarry this pregnancy too, yet he's fine. Good luck!

2 miscarriages - (16 weeks and 6 weeks) and then a chemical pregnancy then two healthy babies (after horrendously awful pregnancies).
Miscarriage steals all the joy of pregnancy - you can never feel safe and enjoy or relax it for a second. Every twinge, every spot of blood, every cramp, even lack of movement all plunges you back into that heartstopping pit of fear.

This was a long time ago but I knew someone who'd had >20 MC before adopting and then successfully conceiving and carrying to term. She went on to adopt several more and give birth to several more DC.

Another family friend had had multiple MC before she received a diagnosis that meant that there was an intervention with a good chance of success for her (and that did succeed).

Tortycat · 04/01/2019 01:46

2 early mc, healthy term baby, then mmc, then another baby.

i luckily had investigations after second mc and was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome. Had Heparin, low dose aspirin and progesterone for the successful pregnancies. Sadly i didnt know i was pregnant with my third mc (no period since having dc1) so i wasnt on meds.

Good luck to you, dont give up and push for investigations

MsJuniper · 04/01/2019 02:06

1 DS
6 MC (6-9wk)
1 DD

I'm still recovering emotionally. It's so hard. I hope you get your wish.

I was referred to St Mary's RMC which was helpful.

I’m nearly 30. I had a healthy pregnancy at 25. Then in the last 12 month a missed miscarriage that was picked up at 14 weeks then an early miscarriage at 6 weeks. The last one was 5 months ago and today I found out I m pregnant again. I’m hoping and praying for a live birth as I want two children and wanted them before I’m 30.
I’m around 4/5 weeks. I haven’t even told my partner as I don’t want to see the panic on his face. I’m so sorry for all your losses!

Rubbleonthedouble1 · 03/07/2020 22:04

Four miscarriages followed by LOTS of testing and then my lovely 2 DC. Don’t give up. I remember so clearly feeling like I would never have a baby. Don’t give up hope xxx

themindwonders · 03/07/2020 22:40

I had 1 ds, miscarried 3 times all at different times and then went on to have another 2 ds

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 03/07/2020 22:42

My DM had 7 miscarriages before she had me, and then she went on to have another three children.

Teabird · 03/07/2020 22:44

I had 3 mmc in succession which were all awful in their own way then 2 DD 2 years apart with no problem. I'm so sorry for everyone's losses. It's a hard road to travel.

Beachmummy23 · 03/07/2020 22:54

8 miscarriages over 5 years before I got my daughter. Had 2 miscarriages since, she is 5 now x

1 MC, 1DC, 12 MC then 1 DC
I don’t know how I kept going but am so glad I did.

Marmalady75 · 06/07/2020 22:24

Early miscarriage, stillbirth, early miscarriage, ivf that ended in miscarriage at 12 weeks, miscarriage then rainbow baby via ivf. Hell of a journey and not one I’d wish in my worst enemy. I’m not even sure how we managed to keep going through it. Every time I went to the toilet during my final pregnancy I expected to see blood. Anyway, it all ended with my beautiful boy.

ferntwist · 06/07/2020 22:47

So sorry for your losses. Ask your GP to refer you to the Coventry miscarriage clinic run by Professor Jan Brosens and Professor Siobhan Quenby. You can be referred there from anywhere in the country on the NHS and they are doing groundbreaking work. I had my beautiful baby under their protocol after 5 losses in week 12. I’m now in my third trimester expecting baby number two on the same protocol of a short course of steroids, blood thinners and progesterone.
Wishing you all the luck in the world. You can do this!

ichifanny · 06/07/2020 23:00

3 consecutive miscarriages one at 18 weeks and then 4 healthy babies no miscarriages inbetween .

RozHuntleysStump · 06/07/2020 23:02

5 miscarriages. We just kept trying. I’d get pregnant every month so that was something. Then I’d lose between5-8 weeks. In between miscarriages I had 3 boys. My theory is that I can’t carry girls. My last pg I was given hcg shots each week.

Mrsmadevans · 06/07/2020 23:06

2 m/c ,13 yrs infertility followed by 2 healthy Dds wishing you the very best

We had multiple miscarriages (3 early and 1 post 20 weeks) and then went on to have 2 full term healthy pregnancies with no miscarriages between them. No reason was found for our early losses. Lots of luck to you
