Loss of pregnancy symptoms 3rd miscarriage?

This is so hard. At the end of January I found out at a scan at 10.5 weeks that my baby had stopped growing st 7-8 weeks. Then a week later I miscarried and it was so bad. I was told it would be like a heavy period so I tried to suck it up but ended up in a and e having emergency surgery in a and e and went into shock due to loss of blood. It was the most painful experience of my life. And obviously horrible to know I had a dead baby inside of me for all that time.
Luckily i got pregnant again but last week at 6 weeks I bleed and passed a clot so I paid for a private scan where I saw the baby and a strong heartbeat and a haemotoma.
I was feeling exhausted and my breast were sore but suddenly on Wednesday night like one minute to the next my breasts stopped hurting except for if I poked them and I am no longer so exhausted. I almost feel normal but no bleeding as yet.
Having a third miscarriage is obviously devastating but not knowing when it is going to happen (I have two children and live on my own at the moment) is very difficult. I was in hospital for 3 days last time and had to take 2 weeks off work and was ill for a month in total like not able to look after my children to my best. Also I passed out from the pain and luckily my partner was there to take me to hospital. He's not always in my city and I'm terrified it will happen when I am on my own with the children.
What can I do? Does loss of symptoms at 7 weeks mean my baby has died? I just feel so lost

I am currently going through a 4th miscarriage and for me sadly loss of symptoms is a bad sign and the first sign of an impending miscarriage. That being said my one and only full term pregnancy I never had any symptoms at all until maybe 16 weeks x

Thank you for your reply. Last time it took weeks to start bleeding I hate being in limbo. Sorry for your losses. Have you been referred to the recurring miscarriage clinic?

Hi yes I was referred after my last miscarriage but didn't find it particularly enlightening - ran the usual tests for thyroid issues and blood clotting. Wouldn't run tests on partners sperm or investigate progesterone levels or killer nk cells.
This time my ivf clinic let me take clexane steroids and progesterone I had left over from a failed ivf cycle but didn't make any difference x

I'm sorry to hear this. It's so hard isn't it. Lots of friends and family are announcing pregnancies and I'm finding it quite hard to not feel bitter.
I had a scan today and it showed that the baby died the exact moment I felt the twinge and my symptoms lessened. I'm having d n c on Wednesday and the consultant said he would send the baby for genetic testing.
I hope you are doing ok.
