Third time lucky after two miscarriages?

[sunnysushi]

Hello ladies,
I've experienced my second miscarriage in a row this year💔. DH and I are trying for our first child.
I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this trauma and gone on to have a third healthy pregnancy? If so, was there anything different that you did/took?
Really hoping to find some success stories to give me some reassurance and hope please 🙏

Hi. Same position here so I'd love to hear this too.
Sorry for your losses OP x

So sorry for your losses. I hope you are getting lots of support and looking after yourself x

This year Ive had an ectopic pregnancy and then a miscarriage but now currently 15 weeks so 3rd time lucky for us so far Don't give up hope 🌈

Thank you❤️.

Congratulations-fingers crossed all goes well with your rainbow baby 🌈. Hope I will be able to be carrying mine soon🙏❤️.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've experienced miscarriages, but not until after having a baby, and that helps with the pain of course.

I've had several friends who've had miscarriages before having any children born healthily. They all went on to have children except one, but that was for different and unrelated health reasons.

A few had two miscarriages before carrying a healthy baby to term. One had three miscarriages and one four, before having healthy babies.

Of course I hope that your next pregnancy goes full term and you get your lovely squishy baby in your arms. But either way, don't give up hope

Hi OP.
I’m so sorry for your losses.

My third pregnancy was third time lucky. I was trying for my first child too. I had two miscarriages in 7 months then got pregnant 2.5 months after D&C of second pregnancy due to MMC.

I was a bag of nerves the whole pregnancy and was convinced I wouldn’t be so lucky to have it work this time but it did and my son is 14 months old now.
Honestly there was nothing I did differently. Wishing you all the best. Don’t give up hope

Thank you so much ladies❤️ Hearing success stories really gives me hope that soon I'll be able to hold my first born little one in my arms🌈.

Hello. I'm sorry for your losses. I have had three miscarriages and am now pregnant for the 4th time. 9 weeks today and had two great scans which is the furthest we've ever gotten.

What we did differently

• took bioquinone 400mg a day (thought to improve egg quality)
• went on the CERM trial with Professor Quenby at Tommy's Coventry (did get the medication and not the placebo, so lucky in that respect)
• 400mg progesterone pessaries twice a day
• thyroid checked at 6 weeks pregnant then put on thyroxine due to result

Obviously early days but hoping this combination of things is what is helping it along. Highly recommend getting in touch with Tommy's Coventry (I think the rules around miscarriage care are changing).

Sending you lots of good wishes x

@sunnysushi no positive story but I'm in the same position as you.
1 MC at 6 weeks and 1 MMC (found at 13 weeks, baby died at 8) all within 10 months so hoping we will be 3rd time lucky!
We are also trying for our 1st child, I know we've been unlucky but it's so hard to feel positive!

Hello,

I have a positive tale which started with two miscarriages (one at 9 weeks and one at 12 weeks) and then a third pregnancy with was very straightforward and the resulting bundle of joy is now an utterly delightful 9 year old. It was so hard and all-consuming at the time, but now just a hazy memory. I wish the same for you x

Hello, I am so sorry to hear about your losses, it’s so very hard. I had 2 consecutive miscarriages, one at 8 weeks, one at 6 weeks. I am now 17 weeks with my current.. I didn’t do anything differently, if anything I was far more stressed this time. I really hope you have the same luck.. I honestly believe it is just luck, it’s so easy to think it’s something you’ve done/ eaten/ not eaten, but it’s never your fault. All the very very best xx

Not me, but my close friend has :) 2 MCs in a year and then a beautiful healthy baby boy on the 3rd try. She is also currently pregnant with number 2 :)

Thank you al for your positive words and stories. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on this post, as it really gives me hope❤️.
I hope that all of us who have been so unlucky to experience this trauma are blessed with our rainbow baby the next time🙏.

I was lucky to have a DD with no problems but then had problems carrying.
I had four MMCs in a row before I was lucky to be diagnosed with a very minor thyroid problem and given medicine to help me retain my pregnancies!
So the next one I had I managed to keep and now have a bouncing bonny 2yo.

It's incredibly painful, unfair and sad.
Sending love and strength to anyone going through this.

It's so nice to see some positive stories here - really needed them today!

Myself and my partner have been trying since Oct20 and took me a long year to finally get my first BFP.

Had an early MC beginning of Oct21 (just under 5 weeks) and began to bleed yesterday at 5 weeks with my second pregnancy. Found myself in the mind frame of 'can I do this again' but seeing some of the stories here have made me feel hopeful for the future.

Have made an appointment with my GP as keep getting fobbed off with 'ride it out' statements. Is there anything I should be asking to be checked out before trying again?

I had two last year. One at 6 weeks and one at 9weeks. Currently 22weeks pregnant 🤰🏼. I took 75mg of aspirin from the day I found out. Even though dr told me not to. (Midwife actually said it was fine but I should check with gp- who said no). I don't know if it helped or it would have been fine anyway.
Good luck.

@sunnysushi I was in your shoes a few years back. Miscarried my first and second pregnancies. My third pregnancy was successful so hope that gives you hope! Only thing I did differently was take baby aspirin. I used to think that had made a difference but I miscarried my fourth pregnancy and I was taking it then too so now I'm not so sure. I took it again for my fifth pregnancy and that was successful so maybe it's helped, I don't know. My doctor told me it couldn't do any harm so perhaps worth a try (with your doctors approval of course). Good luck!

Just wanted to say it's lovely to read all of the success stories on here. I am sorry for all of your losses too.

I started trying in February this year and got pregnant immediately. Unfortunately lost that one on my birthday at 5 weeks. We then got pregnant immediately after with no period in between but unfortunately lost that one at 9 weeks but was a mmc and the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks.

Took me ages for hcg to return to zero, 10 weeks! We've been actively trying between July and October but I'm not having nk cells testing at Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital. Had my first biopsy on Monday and will be doing the same next month too. Hopefully that will go ok. Looking forward to a fresh start in the new year!

I have up and down days. Sometimes I feel really positive about the future and other times I feel so down like it's never going to happen for us. Just want to crack on with it now and see what happens next!

**Meant to say that I am having nk cells testing!

@Aria2015 thank you❤️ I hope that I can share my success story like you soon.
Just had my first period since the MC, and seeing the gyno next week, so fingers crossed I can start on baby aspirin and it works this time🤞🏻. It can be hard to stay positive sometimes, and seeing pregnant ladies can be such a trigger for me💔, but then again they may have been through what I have, which is hopeful for me I guess.

How did you find out you got the antibiotics and not the placebo?

Two miscarriages and started to give up hope, but currently sitting cuddling my third time lucky! I did nothing different. It's soul destroying but the more I chatted the more common I found it was. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm so happy to read these positive stories. We're going to start trying again this month after three miscarriages this year. I'm nervous but these stories give me some hope!

Hi all. I originally joined this thread for some hope after two miscarriages .. x I'm now due in MID sept.

It's been hard but eventually got exciting, every milestone has felt significant and like a massive hurdle

This time I took aspirin and doubled my folic acid till I got to 13 weeks from the very beginning... I'm still taking aspirin now - will stop at 37 weeks.
I've had low iron, was very poorly for the first four months but I didn't care as long as it meant baby was ok. So in short.. there's hope after two losses .... 🌈🌈✨

Just adding my hope for you :-)

Multiple miscarriages, including second trimester, did nothing differently (was waiting to be seen by consultant) suddenly got a healthy pregnancy and a lovely baby who is now 4 :-) due my next baby in a few months with no mc between. A completely crap time at first and really messed with my head but here I am with my healthy babies to prove it does happen, sending you best wishes xx

Also want to add in. I was in the same boat as OP when this thread started and I'm now 28 weeks!
It is utterly heartbreaking going through multiple mc and the anxiety is high but there is hope (even if it doesn't feel like it!)
All I changed was I started taking low dose aspirin (75mg) once a day until 20 weeks. No idea if it helped but certainly made me feel as if I was doing all I could!
Xx
