Will it ever happen for me again - TTC after two consecutive miscarriages

[Jager]

Hi everyone
I’m feeling a little sorry for myself this evening and looking for advice/personal stories from others in the same position.
I’m 39 and being TTC my second child for over a year. I fell pregnant in July but this sadly ended in early miscarriage at 5 weeks. I recently fell pregnant again, however this too ended in miscarriage at 5 weeks, earlier this week.
I fell pregnant the first month of trying with my son and I naively didn’t expect the difficulties we’ve faced this time round. We’re truly heartbroken 💔
Has anyone been through similar experience and had successful pregnancy? I’m terrified about trying again but we have decided to try one more time. We’d truly love another baby.

Don’t lose hope yet, I’m not going to call mine a success factory just yet for fear of jinxing things BUT I’m 38 and been ttc my fourth for 14 months. In the past year I’ve suffered a loss at 9 weeks then 2 subsequent chemicals in March and June.
Had all the fertility bloods and scans and no issue was found with either me or my partner.
I was told it was likely just my age and poorer quality eggs.
But this week I’ve got my bfp. Very nervous as it’s still such early days. But trying to remain positive as there’s no reason why this can’t work. This is a whole new egg, and a whole new sperm so a totally different set of circumstances.

I don’t think I’ll relax until I’ve seen a heartbeat on a scan, and even then will still feel anxious I’m sure, but don’t give up. I really thought I’d left it too late.

Sending hugs though because I know how utterly heartbreaking and soul destroying it is to suffer loss after loss x

That was meant to say success story not factory!! No idea what autocorrect was doing lol

Hi there. Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time. I had 4 miscarriages when trying for our second child. Turned out I had antiphospholipid syndrome (blood clotting disorder) that must have developed after I had my first. Was given heparin to inject daily when I got my next BFP and our gorgeous DS2 was born . He is 8 now and I'm so lucky as he is amazing and without everything that happened I wouldn't have him. Best wishes to you and your family. X

Congratulations on your BFP!
Thank you for your kind words and advice.

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s good to hear that things can work out.

So sorry for what you are going though. When ttc my first I had 2 consecutive miscarriages, both at 12 weeks. Each time was in the first month of trying so while I was lucky in that respect, unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. A couple of months later I then fell pregnant with my son so please know there is always hope, even when it doesn't feel like it. I completely understand how you are feeling and how hard it is to see light at the end of the tunnel right now. Remember you are stronger than you think and I wish you the best of luck

I'm sorry OP, losses are devastating. I had one baby then two losses @ 9&11weeks, then two more babies, then another loss @ 10weeks and now I'm 20weeks with another baby. I was so shocked and sad with each loss, and I was so angry after the second loss in particular- I just felt it wasn't fair, it's not easy. I had investigations but nothing was noted.
Time helps. X
