Just lost my 5th in a row.

Wondering what my chances are now.

After the first couple I got the old 'just bad luck' line. After 3 I was told it was still more likely than not statistically that my fourth pregnancy would be sucessful. After 5 they don't really say anything.

Does anyone have a success story to share with me?

Two stories. My cousin had 5 miscarriages in a row, at about 8-9 weeks (all IVF). Gave up trying on IVF. Fostered a child. Realised she'd missed a period...and now has a nearly one year old, who was conceived 'naturally'.

I thought I couldn't get pregnant, but now realise that perhaps my immune system was ending very early pregnancies without me realising. I took high dosage steroids (and other drugs, inc aspirin to thin my blood) for a kidney problem, and promptly got (and stayed) pregnant and now have a 2.5 year old.

So I guess my message is, exhaust all the possibilities, mental, medicated or otherwise. And my very best wishes for you.
