Fourth Loss

Hello,

I found out on Friday that I've lost again - the dreaded words 'I'm sorry there's no heart beat'

My fourth loss ranging from 6 - 8 weeks, three of which we saw heart beats (one we saw a beautiful little baby wriggling around)

I had surgery to repair my septate uterus in January and was fortunate enough to fall pregnant in April, but sadly it was not to be. I lost at 8 weeks according to measurements (would have been 10 weeks so has been silent for a few weeks) I'm waiting to miscarry naturally again home, but there has been no movement or physical signs yet.

I feel unbelievably low right now, completely empty. I'm 38 next week and I am wondering if it is time to hang up my ovaries and quit putting us through this. But I've got to be honest, I'm just so desperate for a baby I cannot imagine quitting, nor can my other half. Is there anyone who has suffered four losses and gone on to have a baby that would have time to share some success stories? I would do anything for a glimmer of hope right now. Sending anyone on this thread love, peace and hope x

So sorry to hear this.

We have had 2 losses and are desperate for a child, currently ttc.
We have been told we can't have any testing until mc number 3 but hope it doesn't get that far.

I know what you mean though with will it ever happen.

Have you/ oh been tested at all?

Thank you for your reply, I'm so sorry to hear you've lost - it is one of the most heartbreaking things to go through. I am wishing all the best for you moving forwards!

Well the other losses, we're suspected to be related to my uterus shape. So I had surgery to repair this in January. I had had three losses at this point and was tested along with the baby only my third (the third I was 12 weeks) and everything came back normal, I had a slight blood clotting disorder - so this pregnancy (post op) I was on heparin injections each day, had recovered from my surgery and to be honest was pretty hopeful that it might stick.

My OH hasn't been tested, my consultant is saying the next stage would be to investigate chromosome abnormalities.

I will be hoping and wishing for you xxx
