My first time posting so I hope it's in the right place. After 2 miscarriages in 8 months 1 at 6 weeks 6 days last one at Christmas at 9 weeks after 3 years trying, I'm really loosing hope on the scan we saw heartbeat I'm gutted. Small fibroid was seen at the scan but was told it was nothing to worry about, Was it that?? Why does it feel like it will never happen?? SadSad

So sorry for your losses, OP. No real advice, but I conceived my DD after two MCs. I really worried that something must be wrong with me. I went to the gp and got tests done to check everything was functioning as it should. The MCs seemed to be just one of those things. Wishing you lots of luck.

I had 2 missed miscarriages then a successful pregnancy. Another very early miscarriage 2 years later and then became pregnant immediately afterwards with another successful pregnancy. It is frightening, I was the same as you before I had my first daughter - I thought it'd never happen. Best of luck to you.

Sorry for your losses. I had my daughter after two miscarriages. I had a bleed early on with her and thought I’d lost her too, but she hung on in there. The EPU told me even two miscarriages was very common.

Sorry for your loss. Also conceived after a very long delay then two miscarriages.

I went on thyroxine and had a little break from TTC and also went on a naturopathic diet as I felt rubbish as the second time my baby didn’t come away naturally (so felt awful with the medication as well as being wiped out mentally).

Ihaveoflate · 03/01/2022 20:21

I had two miscarriages in quick succession before my successful pregnancy. All the usual tests showed everything working as expected - just the luck of the draw unfortunately.

Conceiving that successful pregnancy took about 2 years.

I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time OP. I had 3 consecutive MCs before having DC1, followed by DC2 2 years later. No fertility treatment needed and no further MCs between my 2 successful pregnancies. Wishing you the best of luck.

After my first pregnancy with DD I had two early miscarriages (7wk and 5 wk) before getting pregnant with DS1. The GP put each mc on my record as she said that the policy at the time was that they can’t refer/investigate until 3 mc in a row. I started taking low dose aspirin before getting pregnant with DS1. I had another early mc 3 years later before getting pregnant with DS2, again I took low dose aspirin from TTC, but this was recommended by GP, may not be recommended for everyone.

So sorry for your losses. After 2 miscarriages I went private and had blood tests. It was found I had "sticky blood." I was prescribed a baby Aspirin every day and me next pregnancy was successful. It may be worth you looking into this.I also has a fibroid which I was told was not causing issues.

Thank you all so much for your replies, It's comforting knowing I'm not alone. It's hard to talk to friends and family as they don't know what to say to me without upsetting me I think, My Mum has been great but talking to other women who have had the same happen I think is better for me, My oh is trying his best to help but I keep taking things out on him 🤦🏼‍♀️. It's given me so much hope reading all of your success stories and I've read a lot about asprin and thinking I will talk to my doctor at my appointment on Tuesday and go on them as I think it's helped so many women and can't do no harm. I really hope it's our turn soon. I have a 13yo and was pregnant within 2 months of having my implant out!. I feel so blessed to have him I never thought it would be this difficult 😞. Thank you all for giving me hope it's been a tuff day and I feel slightly better about things.

Keep going on. My DD was my 6th pregnancy. It felt like my body needed a few tries to learn staying pregnant.

RJnomore1 · 03/01/2022 21:12

My mother! I was her third pregnancy 45 years ago when so much less was understood about pregnancy loss.

I hope this goes well for you 💐

I am currently 28 weeks pregnant after 2 MC (8 weeks & 5 weeks) I ended up seeing a private consultant who prescribed progesterone until I was 12 weeks which helped me, also if you’re not using them the ovulation sticks really help. Best of luck, it will happen but I know first hand how frustrating and heart breaking it is xxx

Me. I had two miscarriages in between my second and third child. One at 11 weeks and one at 7 weeks. I took Baby aspirin without asking anyone too. My dd is 4. I also had infertility for three years prior to my first. I was later diagnosed with severe endometriosis Adenomyosis and pcos. Good luck xx

Congratulations and sorry to hear of your losses there so cruel 😞. I was thinking if I do conceive again to ask for progesterone as soon as I find out, Do normal gps not prescribe them? I'd happily go private I'd do anything right now 😩. Did you take it before you were pregnant?

2 years of trying, 2 miscarriages, numerous fertility tests before our DC1 arrived.

It then took 3 months of trying to conceive DC2 with no problems at all.

@kemh GPs/NHS won’t do anything until 3 MCs other than basic hormone testing unfortunately. It was well worth the consultation and prescription cost but appreciate not everyone can afford that outlay. I took progesterone from 2 days post ovulation. Sending lots of luck your way xx

Brenna24 · 03/01/2022 22:10

I had a MMC at 11 weeks, rhen 2 more miscarriages in the next 7 months. Then didn't conceive for a year and had all sorts of tests and got prescribed HCG injections in my two weeks wait, steroids for the first trimester and progesterone until 24 weeks. That led to a successful pregnancy which was very stressful with lots of early bleeds and a premature labour at 34 weeks. She came out a strapping healthy baby and is turning 4 next week.

Findingapath · 03/01/2022 22:10

@kemh

Findingapath when did you start taking asprin was it post ovulation?
I took it from TTC, so before ovulation. I took 75mg with DS1 throughout pregnancy and 4 years later I started on 75mg with DS2 but at my booking appointment the mw told me the recommended dosage had been increased to 150mg, so I increased it at that point. I just took the over counter stuff, it’s super cheap and no need for a prescription. Wishing you lots of luck x.
