To ask if anyone here had a positive outcome from high number miscarriages?

I've had 6 miscarriages now and am finding hope dwindling with each one.

I've never actually met anyone (that I know of) who's had more than 3 in a row.

Has anyone else had such a high number of miscarriages and then gone on to have a positive outcome?

I know the cause, and there is no treatment, just told to carry on trying.

I feel like the higher my number gets the less chance I have.

Ours were unexplained but for our sanity we gave ourselves a time limit to stop trying to get pregnant and go for adoption instead. As it turned out we were mentally ready before the time limit and we now have two DCs through adoption. We adopted from overseas and they were babies when placed but at the moment lots of babies are placed in the UK.

It's not for the faint hearted and our DS has SEN but we wanted to be a family and this is how we became a family, and we are so glad we did.

Like I say adoption is not for everyone but we feel it saved our mental health/marriage to give ourselves a time limit and then go down a different route (whether that's being childless long term, adoption, or for some on here being a one-child family).

Not exactly OP as most of my miscarriages were after I'd had kids, but I have a translocation too, which I didn't find out about until after I'd had them. Just wanted to say that, as a PP mentioned, because you reset every time, even with a translocation, there is hope - all of mine are absolutely fine. I'm sorry for your losses, they do take their toll.

Really sorry to hear about your losses.
Your message hit a chord, it's really hard to stay positive after each loss and then getting your hopes up/down for the next time.

I've had 5 losses, the final two were at 19 weeks and 22 weeks.
Sepsis with the 22 week loss.

It was very hard to get a referral to get checked, I saw Prof Reagan at St Mary's, Paddington under the NHS. Se had private patients too if your gp won't/ can't refer you.

Mum to two little ones now. Knackered but ultra grateful.
I had to take extra folic acid, daily aspirin and once past the 12 week scan, had daily heparin injections.

Also for both times when I went to term, I had reflexology, acupuncture.
Really feel for what you have had to go through. Flowers
Take care of yourself and your partner, pregnancy loss and ttc after loss really knocks your relationship.
