Any positive stories to help me through the day. I'm struggling

Any positive stories about people who have had more than 4 miscarriages and had a successful pregnancy?

Did you do anything differently ?

Did you have any tests? If so what tests?

Do you recommenced anything?

Did you ever believe you wouldn't have any children?

How many times do you try before you give up?

3 miscarriages all before 12 weeks.
Truly believed I wouldn’t have any children, only mildly charted periods /fertility.
Had sex whenever I wanted.
Had standard blood tests and a scan of womb/ovaries etc...
pregnancy was seen at this scan.
Started advice of 75mg of aspirin per day.
Had DD 11 years ago.
Started aspirin before next pregnancy, fell pregnant, was told not to take aspirin by midwife then miscarried.
Took aspirin again pre-pregnancy ignored midwives advice then had DS 5 years ago.

I’m done with any more pregnancies now. Probably out of fear of doing this all again but also feel one of each is enough.

What’s your story? X

@Wetwashing00 wow, thank you.. maybe I need to try that then. It's so hard as I don't know about you, but I just feel like everyone try's to be understanding but no one really wants to make a difference.

3 miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy.

I have had all the tests the NHS can offer but nothing came back unfortunately. I keep getting told the typical " it's bad luck".

I tried progesterone with my last pregnancy but still misscarried.

This is a really bizarre question but did you ever have any symptoms which led you to thinking that taking aspirin would be a good idea? Or what made you take it? X

Sorry I missed out progesterone pesseries with 6th pregnancy.

A consultant at the hospital advised aspirin. Even though my blood work all came back negative, I remember consultant saying something about it being controversial but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
5years on since my DS was born and I now have auto immune thyroid disease so I suspect I may have had that a decade ago, but I’ll never know if it’s related now.

Ask your midwife/consultant if you can try the aspirin. As long as you don’t have any conditions or take meds that would be affected by it you should be ok to try.

I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through. It's horrendous and I wish no one had to go through it.

I had five miscarriages over two years. I certainly did think at times that I'd never have a baby.
All testing came back normal. After the second one, I tried aspirin, that didn't work.
I was then told by Dr. Rai at St. Mary's never to take aspirin in a future pregnancy as a specialist blood test meant I'd actually be more likely to lose the baby.
He put me on clexane for my two next pregnancies, didn't work. I also tried progesterone for the fifth one.
When I got pregnant the sixth time, my husband said no more experimental medicine. I turned up to EPU for fortnightly scans from 6 weeks, currently nursing my baby girl. She'll be 6 months next month.

Dr Raj Rai told me that he'd never met a woman who didn't have a baby if she kept trying. The problem is the losses are crippling. I can't tell you how many times to keep trying, only you know how much you can take, but I wish you all the best and so hope you get your rainbow baby.
Any questions, please message me.

3 miscarriages then a beautiful DD. 3 more and DD2 on the way any day now. Was on clexane/asprin for most of them but for us the miscarriages were most likely due to chromosomal issues (the one we had tested was), and one was ectopic. Hang in there, I remember reading that even after multiple miscarriages the odds are in your favour!!
