Hello, I'm a bit of a novice on this topic (even though I've had a lot of pregnancies Blush) so please excuse me if I get the terminology wrong!

I get pg very easily, first attempt every time (apart from my 1st dc, which was my only problem-free pg; that took 3 months). I've lost three other pgs, plus I mc a twin when I had dc2. All those times I got pg first time. Thinking of TTC again but wondered if there was something in my cycle that was unusual/contributing to the pg loss?

Have a regular 28-day cycle. AF lasts about 5 days. Pretty much exactly a week after AF starts (so day 8??) I get a sort of bloody mucus discharge (TMI, sorry). Then 3 days after that I get the egg-white mucus for a couple of days, two or three, I think.

Then it's a fortnight till the next period (or - shortlived - BFP).
Does this all sound normal to those of you who know much more than me?!

TIA

Hi Maranello

Sadly, I don't think mc causes are that obvious. Have you been to your GP? If I was miscarrying that frequently I'd be enquiring about a referral :)

Hello

If you find that you get pregnant straight away every time and then miscarry, then it might be worth reading up about non fussy uterus. Google it and quite a lot comes up about it. I don't know anything about it but I know someone mentioned it on here in relation to falling pregnant very easily but then miscarrying.

Thanks both.

As I say, I've not really thought about this much, always assumed getting pg easily was a good thing, but now wondering if things are that simple.

Have started thinking about when I (apparently) ovulate etc and wondering if that cycle seems normal? Read a few other threads here and thinking perhaps I ovulate quite early in my cycle?

Popcorn, thanks, have not had three mc in a row (yet) as dc2 came along in the middle, so I don't think doctors would test for anything at this stage. Have been told several times how lucky I am to get pg so quickly...
