3 recurrent miscarriages

My sister has just had her third miscarriage. She doesn't have any children yet and is obviously devastated. She's adamant that she will never be able to have her own baby and it's heartbreaking. Does anybody have any success stories they could share after having miscarriages? Or are there people out there who gave up after a certain amount of miscarriages? Thanks.

I had 1 then had DC1 and then had 5 losses after - it's a personal decision to say no more as each time you think this will be the "one"

As she's had 3 miscarriages now she should be referred to a specialist clinic for testing to see if there are any blood clotting/thyroid factors etc?
She may also want to explore IVF with PGS testing to see if there is a chromosomal issue (this is what we are going through at the moment and tests have shown lots of abnormalities in our embryos) x

Thank you for your reply and I'm sorry to hear you are going through this as well.
She has got a blood clotting disorder and was on blood thinning injections but obviously made no difference :(
Thank you for your suggestion about ivf I will mention this to her. Good luck with your journey Thanks

I had three miscarriages in under a year but my fourth pregnancy was successful and I had my baby boy 11 weeks ago.

We had all the NHS testing and nothing came back so the miscarriages were all chalked up as "bad luck". Your sister should make sure she gets the tests done but she should also prepare herself for not getting any more answers from it.

We were given fortnightly scans during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. And there does seem to be some possibility that extra monitoring does improve outcomes so when your sister has her next pregnancy she should push for this.

Sending her my thoughts.
