So I’ve marked this as sensitive as I know that it takes a lot of people a long time to get pregnant and I’m ridiculously lucky in one sense and I feel guilty even writing this. However I really need some advice we have been TTC number 1 (I’m 36 my partner is 41)since august and been successful the first cycle which ended in miscarriage at 5+4 in October.I then was impatient and I was lucky enough to ovulate at the right time so we tried again and I got pregnant again. That ended again at 4+4 in November. I have just found out I am pregnant again without a period so I will have been pregnant 3 times in 3 months. I am really stressing myself out that a) this is going to again end in the next week or so and b) am I doing my body damage by not giving it a break?! I started taking baby aspirin 75mg this time round to see if it makes a difference but all I now see is this ending in heartache again. If anyone has any advice I would be really appreciative.

Hang in there and congratulations. Baby aspirin till 12 weeks is a good plan, as is no alcohol. Are you taking folic acid? If not, do. Hope this little one sticks x

No advice but I’m in the same boat. Early miscarriage in October then again in November and I got my 3rd bfp in a row on Thursday and terrified it’s going to end the same way. I started bleeding 18dpo the first one and late on 17dpo for the second one. AF always comes 13dpo for me. I’m on 17dpo now and it’s on my mind constantly. I can’t let myself believe this can work out

fingers crossed it will work out for both of us

@allgoodthings84 im so pleased someone is in the same boat as me (obviously wouldn’t wish the boat on anyone but you know what I mean!) so I’m guessing you haven’t had a period in between each? Have you done anything differently this time around? x

As I lost them both at nearly 5 weeks means that they count the miscarriage bleed as a period so I had that in between each one but it was one cycle after another with no break. There’s nothing much different I can do. I don’t really drink, don’t smoke try and eat well and take vitamins and I’m a healthy weight. I had tests at the GP and everything was really good so no idea why they happened just need to hope for the best.
