TTC with recurrent miscarriages

28 replies

Just looking for others in a similar situation to myself as I feel a bit lonely on this journey.

A bit about me -
TTC for my first baby for coming up to 2 years
3 missed miscarriages all found at 10 or 12 weeks
1st loss - no idea why
2nd loss - partial molar
3rd loss - this was only 2 weeks ago so waiting on genetic testing

I’m already under the recurrent miscarriage clinic & will have another appt once genetic testing comes back. Already had tests for sticky blood, thyroid etc. And was on progesterone.

I’m not actively TTC at the moment as we’re waiting for the test results before trying again. But feel I have no one to talk to anymore about how hard this journey to becoming a mum is, and if it will ever happen for me. Everyone around me is moving forwards while I feel left behind.

@Figtree11 I am so sorry to read this update. I don’t go on this account much as sometimes just overwhelmed by the whole subject but so sad to read that. My first loss was Turner Syndrome :( I was told it’s not common and at my age risk wss like 1% but still it happened so I know the stats don’t mean anything to us.
I found out my third loss was Down syndrome since my last message and so now I’ve been offered genetic testing of myself and my partner so we aren’t ttc at the moment as quite frankly I am so scared and like you said - not sure where to even go from here.
Have they suggested they can offer this testing for you? Perhaps you could ask for the karotyping because it’s worth exploring. My losses are all similar gestation stage as yours too and I’ve got 2/3 confirmed due to abnormalities.
I feel like I don’t know whether to roll the dice and try naturally because there if it’s genetic issue there is no fix (just testing) but right now I’m still wait for tommys / investigations.

@Hopingforrainbow2025 i’m sorry about your test results. My consultant mentioned before about karotyping, but said Turner’s syndrome isn’t genetic & is random so didn’t think I needed it. She suggested to try again. So I’m back to TTC, but not sure whether it’s a good idea or not

@Figtree11 they did say the same to me when I had the loss that it’s random but feels so hard to accept that I’ve had multiple ‘bad luck’ events with random errors being the reason. I have just found out that they basically are saying we should just try again as no clear genetic issue. Found out need blood thinners as well but the biggest challenge is having a baby with no abnormalities.
So I am back in fhat TTC club and does feel impossibly hard to know whether this will a decision I regret bur me and my partner feel like if we don’t try we aren’t moving anywhere, we will just be in limbo. Unless people have been in the position I don’t feel like they can comment o the decision or understand how much heart aches for that one chance. Wishing you the best in TTC journey x
