Pregnancy success stories after 2 miscarriages

[nacarlos89]

Hi

I have had 2 miscarriages this year trying to conceive my first child. I'm 32 and have no known illnesses or anything which may impact my fertility.

I had a miscarriage at 5 and half weeks which was probably more like a chemical and got pregnant straight after again. Unfortunately, I then had a mmc at 9 weeks and baby was only measuring 6 weeks (we saw the heartbeat at the first scan).

I had surgical management with the second one on early June and found out yesterday that my hcg is now now to 48 so hopefully my cycles are almost at a point of being reset.

Just wanting to hear some positive stories from people who have had 2 or more miscarriages and had a successful pregnancy just to keep my moral up until my cycle is back. Currently I feel like a failure and that something is wrong with me. I feel like I will never be able to have a child. Some days I'm more positive but I think hearing from other may help.

Thanks in advance ❤️

@chasingtherainbow1 @awarren thank you for your support. Booked arrived today. be good to stay in touch, I hope I fall again soon xx

Hi all it has been comforting to read your stories and sorry for your losses and congratulations for the rainbows. I’m currently pregnant not entirely sure how far I believe I’m around 7 weeks. I have a 3year old then unfortunately experienced a mmc in feb there was heartbeat at 8weeks but then at 12 week scan it had stopped a few weeks before. Then I got pregnanct straight after d&c but had mmc at around 8 weeks. But since then I’ve had two periods and as soon as I found out I was pregnant I have been taking low dose aspirin. Hoping it helps. I asked about progesterone but they said they can only give that me if start bleeding. So praying low dose aspirin will help. Feel so anxious for my scan this week as think I’m preparing for the news again although I’m trying to stay positive. I just really don’t know how I will cope again. I’ve already had sick note for work as I think the grief from second time has hit me.

Hi OP

So sorry to hear of your losses ♥️

I'm 29 years old and have had 13 miscarriages in the past 8 years. They couldn't find any reason for these and I had 4 babies tested and nothing in particular came back.

I tried progesterone, aspirin and clexane injections.

I am now 18 weeks with a healthy baby (🤞🏻) and I don't know why this one has stayed but I'm very grateful.

Nobody can give me any answers. I started aspirin after my 12 week scan as recommended by the sonographer and my midwife as the cord flow was borderline for being too little and I started progesterone suppositories at 6 weeks due to spotting and stayed on them until 16 weeks.

I know that awful feeling of hopelessness and empty but this pregnancy is a miracle and you will get yours too. I will keep you in my thoughts and wish you all the luck in the world.

Thank you @elm26 congratulations and sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing. I’m really hoping all will be ok. Feeling sick and heartburn and the other day noticed more discharge and constantly tired so hoping these are all good signs. But trying to not read too much into everything this time as everyone and every pregnancy is different. Sending everyone lots of best wishes and hope for their rainbow baby. Take care all xx

just wanted to update you on my story - I fell pregnant two cycles after my first miscarriage but I’ve now had confirmed another missed miscarriage (second in a row) which I am devastated about. I have no living children and 37 soon so I am really panicking it is not going to happen for me and my partner 😢. Wishing you all the luck 🍀

Sorry for your losses, it's the worst pain isn't it. And congratulations on the news of new pregnancies. I hope it's all going well for you!

I am now 26 weeks pregnant, hoping for the best with this one. I lost 3 in total and after that I literally threw everything at it. Millions of vitamins, switched to folate instead of folic acid. Took progesterone from ovulation and started aspirin at 12 weeks as advised by consultant. I also went gluten free and too a course of doxycycline before getting pregnant followed by optibac for one cycle. I'm not sure what it was that worked but I think it's always worth just trying everything.

@hopingthirdtimelucky you can go to a private clinic just for a progesterone prescription, I would definitely recommend trying it just for peace of mind.

Good luck to everyone ❤️

Thanks @chasingtherainbow1 will keep that in mind I have my first scan 30th so will see then. Just praying all will be ok this time round. Congratulations on your pregnancy and sorry to hear of your losses too. Takecare.

Hi all scan went well showing 8+5 weeks and heartbeat it was very overwhelming and a big relief for now. Hope baby keeps growing and all will be ok.
had my flu jab done too as asked me while I was there.
got another app in 3/4 weeks time. Sending luck and best wishes to you all.

@hopingthirdtimelucky aww so happy to hear it went well! Have you been offered any other early scans or are you waiting now until the 12 week? I really hope it continues to go well for you

Just been told to come back in 3-4 weeks time for my 12 week dating scan thank you 🙏🏼 @chasingtherainbow1 xxx

So sorry to hear this, Laura. I too was told yesterday that we've had our second missed miscarriage of the year. I was quite surprised as I really didn't think it would happen again. I'm 36 so I feel your pain on the age front as well. It's just such a horrible thing to be experiencing.

We're hoping to do IVF in the New Year as we don't feel we have more time to waste and are hoping that any embryos we get can be genetically tested to give us a better chance.

Hi @TheBirdintheCave sorry to hear about your losses too. It is absolutely devastating. I am having to wait two weeks for the surgical management as they are so busy it is on Monday and I was kind of hoping I might miscarry naturally before then but nothing over the last few weeks which I’ve found so hard. I had a follow up scan with the EPU today hoping they would have made a mistake as still not bled etc but sadly not. At least I feel like I have closure now and need to stay strong / sit tight until Monday. I just pray the surgery goes well and no complications. I am also looking at IVF with testing - I have a follow up appointment with Kings next week to discuss additional testing, but I genuinely believe my issue is age / egg related. I am fit healthy / doing all the right things but believe consecutive miscarriages with no live births at my age is egg related, which is a really hard thing to take to be honest.

what are your next steps? Have you decided what fertility clinic you are going to? Did you have surgical management? Hope you are keeping as well as you can be xx

@LAURAPAX My surgery is tomorrow (a week after we found out), fingers crossed it goes ok and that yours does too.

Funnily enough our IVF appointments are also with Kings! We rebooked them yesterday (cancelled when we found out we were pregnant in November) for the end of January.

I've read about so many different things that could cause multiple miscarriages that it's making my head spin. I think blood tests to rule out anything obvious (thyroid, clotting conditions etc) will be our first steps.

How about you?

@TheBirdintheCave will be thinking of you tomorrow - I hope the surgery goes well and at least we will both be able to think about moving forward once this is done.

Ah that’s a small world you are also with Kings - were you about the start IVF when you fell pregnant or going to have initial consultation? When is your rebooked appointment? When I re contacted them last week they said we needed a follow up phone consultation first which is what we have booked for next Thursday. We had the MOT fertility testing in Oct after the first MC so yes I imagine it will be more in depth blood testing first off but to be honest im so scared now about my age and my egg quality im keen to just get going ASAP / catch my eggs as soon as possible before they get any worse : ( im turning 37 in May and so stressed out, especially as we don’t have any living children. I honestly just didn’t factor this in and so many people I know at my age fall pregnant no issues. I’m so upset and angry at myself that we didn’t start trying sooner. It’s going to haunt me forever 💔

@LAURAPAX The important thing is that you're being proactive now :) We can't change the past, we can only work with what we have in front of us.

We were meant to have our initial tests in early November but both caught Covid for the first time so had to move the appointment to early December. Then I found out I was pregnant so we cancelled the whole thing.

Our fertility MOT thing is on the 30th of Jan and the consultation is on the 2nd of Feb.

Just wanted to say don't give up hope, I also felt like I had left it too late and I am sitting here with two children. I was 36 when I conceived my first child. Best of luck x

Hope all went well today @TheBirdintheCave 💕
thats really good to hear @MattieandmummyandIs i need as much positivity as I can get. Did you also experience miscarriage? Xx

@LAURAPAX All went well. I was extremely impressed with the hospital. The staff were so kind and efficient, it was spotlessly clean and the operation was very quick. I'm now at home with no pain, only light bleeding and some slight dizziness.

Looking forward to getting back to trying again.

@LAURAPAX sadly yes, once before my first daughter and twice before my second daughter. It's tough, I had aspirin and progesterone from ovulation until 16 weeks for the second pregnancy - I don't know if I needed it or if it helped. I do also have adenomyosis so all those pregnancies were even less likely.

@TheBirdintheCave so pleased to hear all went well yesterday and glad you are recovering well. I’m back at the EPU having my bloods done ahead of Monday.

@MattieandmummyandIs thank you for sharing your journey I am so pleased everything worked out for you despite going through awful miscarriages. It really is the worst. I really hope it will be third time lucky for me when we can try again. Not sure how / if I could cope with another lose and no baby 😢 x

@LAURAPAX I hope everything goes well on Monday :)

Hope you are recovering well @TheBirdintheCave sorry I haven’t been in touch I ended up staying in hospital until late as I had quite a lot of bleeding in surgery and low blood pressure until about 9pm even though I went down at 8.30am. Physically I’ve been recovering ok but this evening having sharp pains so hoping that calms down soon. Emotionally I am a mess. I just don’t know how I am going to move forward again. I keep having nightmares that I am never going to have a successful live birth 💔 hopefully just need some more time to come to terms with everything. Take care x

@LAURAPAX I'm so sorry that happened :( Hopefully your recovery is much smoother now. I know what you mean about the emotions. Physically I've recovered well but emotionally I'm up and down like a yoyo.

Just take it one day at a time and try and go with however you feel. I've been doing small things that make me feel better, like planning a holiday or making nice lunches but if all I felt like doing was lying on the sofa and being sad then I let myself do that too.

@LAURAPAX @TheBirdintheCave I'm sorry to hear both your stories! It's such an awful time and I hope your surgeries went well.

Just wanted to say that I know the feeling all too well of feeling like you will never have a baby. It's the worst feeling in the world. Although I'm currently 28 weeks after 3 early losses, i still feel like I'm waiting for it to go wrong somewhere down the line. However, this is closer than I've ever got before and has made me realise that every pregnancy is different and I believe that I will have a child one day. The hardest part is picking yourself up and trying again. Just don't ever give up. Take your time to heal mentally and physically and when you're ready, try again. Sending love ❤️
