Pregnancy after recurrent miscarriage- what has worked?

[russianred]

Morning all, I’m looking for any anecdotes of success following recurrent loss. Am dealing with the emotions separately, whilst trying to be pragmatic and think about the future.

I’m currently awaiting a procedure after the MMC of a twin pregnancy at 9 weeks. Before this -

October 2020: MC at 9 weeks
December 2020: MC at 5 weeks
April 2022: MC at 18 weeks

Since the late loss, I have been taking mega dose folic acid, progesterone pessaries and 150 mg of aspirin as I experienced bleeding in all of these pregnancies.

I have older children, so I know I can carry a pregnancy to term, though my youngest is 6 and I am now 37.

And now, I find myself at a real crossroads as I try to work out when I admit defeat, any advice welcomed.

I took all of those things plus zinc, calcium and vitamin d. I had my DD at 40 after 7 MCs - fingers crossed for you

Thank you for replying. Have been taking vitamin D (and B6), but not zinc/calcium - will add to the list.

Oh lovely I'm so sorry you are suffering and MMC's are so cruel. What helped me was trying to make sense of what could be going on and I was recommended a great book. It's a bit medical but it helped me.

I was like you, I'd had two successful pregnancies but after that had troubles. I was referred to recurrent miscarriage and monitored very regularly. The book talks about this being important.

I'll never know what made the difference other than it was a new egg and sperm with all new chances. Are you on other supportive threads on MN? They really helped me.

Thank you for the recommendation - I have just ordered. Knowledge is definitely power for me, so that will bring some comfort, I know. I have dipped in and out of threads on here, but find it hard to keep up and feel bad when I am only contributing to seek advice rather than offer support!

Don't feel bad about that. It can be helpful for others who give you advice. Like giving a present. That's what those threads are there for. X
