Anybody had a successful pregnancy after 2 miscarriages??

[kemh]

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??

@TheSpanishApartment

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.

EXACTLY the same for me.

Sorry for your losses. I had two before I had my dd.

[quote Gamechanger2019]@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[/quote]
Thank you I will be looking into going privately, If there's just a chance it will work it's definitely worth it 🙏

Thank you and sorry for your losses, Feel a lot more hopeful, I'm glad I posted now, And congratulations on your DD

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.

Awh congratulations, Thank you for sharing gives me so much hope 🙏

I have had over 15 miscarriages ranging from 6 weeks to 16.

I have one healthy beautiful boy.

I was diagnosed with a genetic condition. I had no fertility intervention to have my son, just had to catch a good egg, which I did...by accident in a new relationship early on 😬 ooops.

Yes. 10 years trying, my only living child is a result of my 16th pregnancy. I never had fertility treatments or help as my BMI meant I couldn’t access any.

It can happen but OP, other people’s experiences doesn’t mean it will for you. After 3 losses you can have investigation and I’d suggest getting the ball rolling on thst. They found for me during my surviving it was my cervix that was the problem. If I get pregnant again I can have a stitch put in.

You haven't mentioned your BMI but this is taken from the British Fertility Society....Obesity has a significant adverse impact on reproductive outcome. It influences not only the chance of conception but also the response to fertility treatment, and increases the risk of miscarriage, congenital anomalies and pregnancy complications in addition to potential adverse effects on long term health of both mother and infant. Women should aim for a normal BMI before starting any form of fertility treatment. Treatment should be deferred until the BMI is less than 35 kg/m2, although in those with more time (e.g., less than 37 years; normal serum FSH concentration) a weight reduction to a BMI of less than 30 kg/m2 is preferable. Clinicians should consider deferring treatment to women outside these guidelines. Women should be provided with assistance to lose weight, including psychological support, dietary advice, exercise classes and where appropriate, weight reducing agents or bariatric surgery. Even a moderate weight loss of 5–10% of body weight can be sufficient to restore fertility and improve metabolic markers.

All the overweight women I know have had miscarriages so please just check that your weight is not causing you this problem.

Good luck op

Not me, but my mother had three miscarriages before having my sibling.

Hi thank you for your reply, My bmi is 29 I'm quite average as weight goes

I found this chart very reassuring.
I had a miscarriage in sept, chemical pregnancy in October and found out on Boxing Day that I'm pregnant again.
So difficult to feel excited x

My Mum was telling me about the stitch, I carried my son who is now 13 to almost full term I got induced 3 Wes early but otherwise pregnancy was uneventful, I'm just hoping we get our miracle soon 🤞

I did. One mc at 6 weeks and a missed mc at 12. 7 months later I fell pregnant with DD.

I'm so sorry for your losses. Have you had full bloods done?

Oh wow! I'm so sorry you had to go through it that many times you must be such a strong woman, Congratulations! And that's funny well it must have been meant to be!

SIL had 2 MMCs in a row and now has a beautiful little 1 year old boy. Wishing you all the best OP, it must be so tough

I was unable to get pregnant, l had infertility treatment & I then had 2 miscarriages , one at 10 weeks and another at 20 weeks . I conceived and delivered both of my girls thankfully after these very upsetting events. I was absolutely terrified l was going to lose my babies , it was hellish .

Me too. Have an older DC but had 3 losses 6-9 weeks within about a year. Started baby aspirin every day and conceive DS1 about a week after the 3rd loss. He's DS1 because when he was a year I accidentally conceived DS2 and I was 42 by then.

Thank you, It is just so heartbreaking I've never felt a pain like it but seeing all the success stories on this thread has really helped me over the past few days so thank you for posting.

Sorry for your losses and Congratulations on your 2 babies 💐, It really takes the excitement of seeing that bfp away. My first miscarriage I seen the positive and screamed my house down in disbelief but not for one minute did I think anything would go wrong, Fast forward 8 months I get another positive test and it wasn't exciting I felt a big feeling of dread because 2 lines doesn't always equal a baby anymore. It just puts a dark cloud over everything but this thread has given me that bit of hope back that I need to not give up, Thank you

@LimpLettice

Me too. Have an older DC but had 3 losses 6-9 weeks within about a year. Started baby aspirin every day and conceive DS1 about a week after the 3rd loss. He's DS1 because when he was a year I accidentally conceived DS2 and I was 42 by then.

Wow! Congratulations!, It's stories like yours that really keep my spirits up, When did you start taking the aspirin was it post ovulation and how many mg, I really hope this happens for me too 🤞🌈.

Pregnancy after loss is a different beast. It is so hard to relax into it. Had gestational diabetes with subsequent pregnancies but otherwise no issues at all. It's hard to say but 2 losses isn't as rare as all that. Modern testing is so early that we detect more pregnancies than in our parents day. I was awaiting an appointment with recurrent miscarriage clinic when DS1 was conceived because they are not interested until after 3 losses. 2 does not make 3 inevitable, is what I'm trying to say.

I bought my aspirin in B&M, baby aspirin here is 75mg. My cousin is a midwife and said to try it after my 3rd loss, basically can't do any harm. I took it daily from around conception which was before we knew obviously (I can't say it helped conception, I don't know) until 36w. With DS2 who was unplanned, I started on it at bfp and stopped about 32w.

Thank you! DS2 is such a joy. We took 1 risk, literally. I remember testing because of some faint nausea, so blasé that it could never happen, that DS1 was our miracle, I left the test on the side and didn't even look at it. Got a bloody shock when I checked it!

🤣 I bet you was in total disbelief, That's just amazing. I'm going to start asprin definitely after reading all these successes, I've nothing to loose and no harm. Thank you for your replies 🙏
