Jimijack, what an incredible journey you've been on. Firstly I have to say I am so so sorry for all the babies you have lost. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for you and the grief you must have felt. Did you take counselling or did you manage to stay strong for DH and DC1?

Foxtrot, I agree it is amazing to hear these stories and it just surely give us hope that things can work out for us too one day. So hard to stay strong sometimes though isn't it?!

Thanks to everyone who has helped this thread. I am carrying these happy ending stories with me!!! XX

Funny but I became hardened to it.
I just thought "oh no, not again" and got on with it.

Wasn't strong, wasn't anything, just got on with it. Had a cry, raged a bit about how shit it was but I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Now its like it happened to someone else.
Didn't get counselling, not necessary tbh. I don't feel sad or traumatised or horrified now.
It's done & I have SO many better things to concentrate on now.

Every aspect at the time was horrific. My treatment in hospital surrounding me finding out each time, the actual physical act of miscarrying, the whole investigation into the cause of the miscarriage and the pointless attempt at trying to prevent miscarriage. The aftercare and the lack of understanding.

It's something that I will never have to experience again, so I come on here and offer advice from my experience in the hope that it helps someone. I had no one.

jimijack what a happy story, in the end. I can relate to you thinking about how you would 'deal' with your latest miscarriage. Me and DH had started doing slimming world for a month when I found out I was pregnant for the seventh time. My initial reaction - once I stopped crying - was to be really pi*d off that I wouldn't lose any more weight and just miscarry within the next six weeks, I was angry. Then nine months later our daughter was born, I couldn't believe it. I remember the fear of finding blood every time I went to the toilet for the entire nine months.

For all those of you on here who are still going through hell, I really hope you have a happy ending.

I could have done with a thread like this at the times I miscarried Catlover please try and keep hoping, I know how very hard that can be at times.

Thanks for sharing Jimijack. It does help to hear from you. You must be a very strong person and the way you have come through it is impressive.

I really wish I was stronger and feel as though I should be better after so many years of infertility, it's not exactly new. Hopefully time will mend my broken heart.

Thanks kaster and congrats on your baby. Fingers crossed us girls who are ttc get sticky beans soon! X

Quite a common pattern with women who are diagnosed with high NKC - had one dc, then started the cycle of early miscarriages and had four within a year and a half. I threw money we didn't have at it, tried every treatment going, and had ds2 in my early 40s.
Life is very good now but I could still list the due dates of every baby who didn't make it. It's a hard road, and I wish everyone could get their happy ending.

[Catlover2014]

Igggi that's great to hear. I haven't started NK tests yet but if I do have a third miscarriage I will ask my GP to refer me to see Prof Q to rule that one out.

I'm going to go back on my fertility drugs and will start TTC after my next period. Really anxious as I feel worried I will miscarry again but I know it's something I have to go through if I want that baby in my arms one day.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get extra scans / help if I do get a BFP? At the moment im being offered one at 8 weeks and another at 12. I don't feel that's enought tbh.
