3 mc's and not sure I want to try again

[Lucinda15]

I've recently had 3 mc's in a 9 month period. My last mc was 2 months ago. We have appointments coming up at st Mary's recurrent mc clinic. But I'm beginning to feel I dnt want to try again. We already have one amazing DS, and I feel so lucky to have him. But my oh wants another. He won't push it if I don't want to, and as I'm not completely decided I am going along with the investigations. I think it would be good to know if there is a problem. And I think if someone could say 'yes we can fix this and your next pregnancy will be fine' I would definitely try again. But I know no one can guarantee that, even if there is an identified problem.

But I'm beginning to feel more and more anxious about the investigations and the idea of trying again, about having further scans and tests discussing the miscarriages again. I just feel quite uncomfortable about it all.

But I'm not brave enough or sure enough to say I want to stop here.

I dnt really want advice, I'm just airing my thoughts! They have been rumblings around my head and I need to get them out

I dont think i could face any invasive tests after my mmc

I am willing to try for 3rd time lucky. If anything else happens then i will reconsider. Thanks for the info though.

Ladies, I've just started a new thread, TTC Self Help book club, to discuss two books that many Mumsnetters have recommended, that offer advice on how to prevent miscarriage and have a successful pregnancy (It Starts with the Egg and Is your Body Baby-Friendly). Do join if you think it may be of interest or can share your insights.
