Two years in and feeling down

We’ve been trying for a second baby for almost two years now. We are lucky enough to have conceived our first child easily and I’m so thankful for them every single day. They’re now almost six and ask for a brother or sister most days.

In the last two years we’ve had two traumatic miscarriages that needed ongoing medical intervention and from positive test to fully recovered they took five months each. I feel like a new person since I started this journey and not in a good way, I feel completely worn out and angry at the world.

Nobody can find anything wrong with me, I’ve had tests both on the NHS and privately. Everyone has told me it’s just bad luck. We’re just at the end of another failed cycle, this being cycle 3 since our last miscarriage.

I’m tired and sad and feel so lonely in all of this, my partner just doesn’t seem to understand my sadness each month.

Any stories of hope after 2 miscarriages would be massively appreciated.

I’ve got a 4 year old asking daily for a sibling and it really is soul destroying. I find it hard watching her with little ones because she’s so good. We’ve been trying for a second for 10 months so I can only imagine how tough getting to 2 years is. Hope you get some answers soon.

Hi
I'm so sorry for your losses! That must be incredibly hard.

We are nearing the two year mark with secondary infertility as well. I've been one progesterone suppositories for the last few cycles and it is really taking a toll on my emotional wellbeing.

I can't really give any hope, just wanted to say that it sucks, and you are not alone.

Sending lots of hugs and positive energy.

Not me personally.. but my friend had three in total. Well two MC and one ectopic. Then struggled to get pregnant. Decided to go down the IVF route and conceived naturally after they “let go” of the pressure to do it naturally. Their baby is almost 4 months old now.

I hope you get your BFP soon and go on to have a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Hi, i had two mcs one after the other, then got pregnant with my 2nd daughter who is now almost 6.
Strangely enough I'd given up the month I conceived her, and then was fully prepared to have another mc when I bled heavily with her. She's life of the party now and absolutely no problems all through the pregnancy after the inexplained bleeds.
I hope you get your rainbow soon x
