3 mmc in 2 years.... BFP this morning, will this one go the distance?

Hi All

I just thought I'd indulge myself by posting a happy post for once. Also, can't tell anyone in RL. And even if I did only us recurrent mmc'ers will understand the mixture of emotions. After 3 mmc (12 wks, 9 wks, 16.5 wks) plus another 10 years ago at 12 wks (with two dc in between) got a BFP yesterday after first month of feeling strong enough to have 'one last medically managed go'. It really is the last time. Have started on 150 mg of aspirin daily and consultant will do a viability scan plus heparin injections at 6wks (assuming I get that far) - have elevated blood clotting risk due to factor V Leiden condition.

Weirdly, last night I just sobbed my heart out -- haven't had a good cry about everything that has happened to us for ages. I am terrified, but have already decided the route I would like should (when?) m/c occurs. Am not delivering baby like last time, too hard. So, I guess I feel more in control. Past experience really does make you a stronger person. Also, I am going to make myself take one day at a time. It's human nature to start thinking ahead and I'm just going to have to train my brain not too.

Only fly in the ointment is that, last week, I accepted a new job starting in September. Ahh, you gotta laugh...

m/c is a horrible thing that happens to nice people who don't deserve it, and recurrent mcs really do change you as a person. But, like Dory, all we can do is keep swimming.... :)

Congratulations! Wishing you all the luck in the world. Typical about that job in September!

Came on to recommend baby aspirin. Can you get some Progesterone as well? I know a few ladies who have had success with this.

Congrats and all the best.

Congratulations!! Fingers crossed for you xx

hi dramatic - really willing this one to work for you. is it the first time you've had these medications? I'm wondering whether you knew with your previous pregnancies that you had Factor V Leiden? It's good to know the cause of your losses; I really hope the treatment works. I had four MCs in a row after my first child. He'd come along without any problems, so we never expected something like that to happen. It was a really utterly devastating time.
For my fifth pregnancy I had steroids and daily clexane injections, and it worked! I now have a lovely 16 month old daughter. We would probably have called it a day and counted our blessings, but I got pregnant again unexpectedly, and we are now expecting our third (and last!) child. I'm 30 weeks along. The body really is a mystery.
The next few weeks will be the absolute worst for you, living with the fear of MC every single day. I remember praying every night for my daughter to stick. All you can do is somehow get through each day. It's very, very hard. Wishing you all the best.
