Devastated to be miscarrying for the 4th time. Have no children and feel like I will never be a mum. Am only 29 and never expected this. Have had tissue from last mmc sent off for testing but no results yet.

Please can I hear your experiences of 4 miscarriages in a row and how you went on to have children?

Really sorry in advance if I don't reply to any comments. I'm sobbing right now. But will read every single one with gratitude.

hey Smile I can't share my experience of 4 losses then having a child, but I can share of my 4 losses. I'm currently still bleeding after 'passing' my 4th. I went through the heart ache of seeing the little heart beat flashing away on the screen, to no heart beat at the second scan. I had medical management, went on my way, and had it that night. I'm 35 and I feel like it's never going to happen, but we have to remain hopeful. Imagine the love we're going to have for our little babies once we got hold of them Smile We got this x

Hi Op, I had some serious fertility issues after having two children, no idea what caused it even now.

10 years of trying, 9 miscarriages, two failed rounds of ivf and poked every which way. Fell pregnant naturally and now 26 weeks with everything looking good.

Get yourself referred to a miscarriage clinic and they will be able to offer some tests such as genetics, blood issues and can arrange for medication support during early pregnancy, I had blood thinners, progesterone, steroids, aspirin during the early stages.

I am so sorry for your losses Flowers

So sorry for your losses, they are truly soul destroying. If it's of any comfort my daughter went though 13 unexplained miscarriages, and then one stuck! She's now a feisty 3 year old. Have a hug ((()))

I'm so very sorry for your losses.

I had a child first of all, but then had 4 MCs in a row. After my first I was told to try baby aspirin. After my third I was proscribed progesterone pessaries and after my fourth I was given thyroid drug and then successfully had a second baby.

Turns out I had developed a very weak thyroid problem, the only symptom of which was not being able to carry to term.

I'm sorry again, and hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for everyone going through this too.

So sorry for your losses.
I had seven miscarriages and a ruptured ovarian cyst (nearly died) and went on to have healthy twins at 35 and then a surprise third at 39.

Best of luck. May it happen for you.

Hello! I had 5 miscarriages in a row and am currently sat here nursing my 11 day old baby. We have also had failed IVF.

We had 3 of our miscarriages tested and they all happened due to unrelated reasons.

When I fell pregnant this time I was given clexane injections daily, aspirin and progesterone pessaries.

This time it just worked.

There is always hope.

You could ask your GP to refer you to professor Quenby in Coventry. That was going to be our next step.

Miscarriage is hard and lonely but please remember my story xxx

I'm so sorry for your losses Have you heard of Bettina Rae? She has a YouTube channel, she's a yoga teacher and she experienced several losses and has lots of videos I found helpful after losing my baby at 19 weeks and TTC again

I had four losses in between my two children, and had lost over before my eldest was born as well. I had testing at St Mary's in London and was found to have factor v Leiden, a blood clotting disorder. Have you been referred for tests? Make sure they send you to one of the specialist clinics like St Mary's.
I had to inject with bloods thinners to have my youngest. They couldn't explain how I'd managed to carry my eldest to term, they said she was a miracle.

I'm so sorry for your losses.

I've had 6 miscarriages, one twins and then I started using progesterone cream. That was a game changer for me.
Do not give up hope. Please. Thanks

@ProseccoPartyPoppers @ellenboss just been reading your stories, so sorry to read about your losses. I have also experienced similar recently.
just wondering how it is going for you both?

ProseccoPartyPoppers · 14/05/2023 20:35

@Ela00 I'm so sorry you're going through this, it's so painful. Sending you love and hugs.

Im actually 34 weeks pregnant now with my miracle baby. I didn't imagine I would ever get here. I've been taking 150mg aspirin and 400mg progesterone 2x a day throughout the pregnancy. I can't say for sure that's what has made the difference because I did try 75mg aspirin and progesterone previously but still lost the baby.

I feel it may just have been very bad luck before, although I do believe that I need the progesterone and aspirin to have a successful pregnancy.

I hope your luck changes soon. I was so low and honestly felt I'd never be a mum. But here we are. Sending baby dust 💞

It's absolutely heart breaking isn't it. Then people say, 'you can try again', 'it wasn't meant to be this time'. I can very, very thankfully sit here and type to you, next to my 12 weeks old baby 🥲 I've started filling up as I type that 🙂 5th time lucky, now 36, but I got there in the end. Even now my baby girl is here, people say, 'she was worth the wait' and 'it was meant to be this time' . . I get they mean well, but my lost 4 still break my heart, It just means I cuddle my little girl a lot more, for a lot longer and she'll have me wrapped around any finger she wants. Give me a message if you ever need to talk, please don't ever keep things to yourself because it's no good. I've always been an open book with my loses and I feel like it's helped loads compared to those who didn't speak about it. I wish you all the luck in the world, don't ever give up ❤️ x x
