Hi all
Just thought I’d do a post, as I promised myself I would if I ever made it here.
I must have read through every post ever made on recurrent miscarries, chemical pregnancies, secondary infertility etc.
I was almost single-handedly keeping Wondfo and Clearblue in business with my POAS obsessions. I am a logical person that knew it made not a damn bit of difference to the outcome but pee on them I did, always hoping.
My situation was : 1st pregnancy caught immediately 1st try, straightforward pregnancy with no complications except EMCS. Extremely lucky. Age was 32. DH age 37.
Tried for a second approx. 14 months after birth of first DC. Subsequent pregnancies all failed, I stopped counting as there were around 10 chemical pregnancies or early losses all not making it past around 6 weeks gestation.
NHS were great I had lots of testing, no cause was found. Was deemed as “unexplained infertility”.
I tried every supplement, vitamin, anything going. Tried leaving a few months gap to let body recover, doxycycline in case of endometritis. Possibility of “hyper-fertility” but debate around this amongst specialists. Even progesterone pessaries didn’t stop one of them failing.
After about 2 years of this, one finally stuck.
I have no idea if any of my cocktail of things I tried worked, or whether it was just a numbers game and eventually I got a “good” one, or whether it was simply the right time.
But finally, when it seemed it wasn’t meant to be, it was.
So for anyone struggling, there is hope. If you can find the strength to push through it, there’s still a chance.
Pictures attached of the lines because I myself obsessed over posts about this (PS, progression is definitely a thing, IME at least) and the miracle 💗
I hope this maybe helps give someone a bit of hope amongst the darkness.
