Hi everyone. I am looking for help from some of the very knowledgable mn-ers out there. I have a happy healthy 3 yo dd and we recently started trying for number 2. Was incredibly lucky with dd - conceived on 2nd try and had a straightforward pregnancy... obviously hoped for the same for no 2, but it seems not to be. I have now had 2 positive pg tests, but miscarried at 3.5 weeks post conception. Both times exactly the same - had a migraine at 3 weeks post conception which for me indicates a shift in hormones (didn't have a migraine at all when pg with dd). Had felt nauseous and boobs tender and enlarged up to that point but day after migraine nausea gone. There is obviously something that has to happen at that point for pregnancy to continue and it's going wrong. Any ideas anyone??? Been doing some searching online but would appreciate any suggestions anyone has.... Thanks in advance.

So sorry for your losses. The sad fact that I am starting to realise is that there really is no definitive answer and it could be any number of things
which you may or may not eventually find out.

The other sad part is that the Nhs doesn't test until there have been three recurrent losses.

It's very hard to live with the unknown, very natural to want to know why, but often impossible to know.
