Hi all. I had my third miscarriage in a row last week at 6.5, day after we saw the heartbeat. The previous two were at 4.5 weeks and I have no idea if all caused by the same thing. We have been TTC since Dec last year so not that long but feels a life time. We have one DD already, nearly 2. We conceived her straight away.

I feel like I oscillate between extreme sadness and feeling numb. I have been referred for tests at the RM clinic but this could take a few months. It's been a really shitty time and not sure when we will TTC again, I want to quickly in some ways but also scared it'll happen again and my husband said he might need more time. I have also been given and told to take progesterone from a BFP (or ovulation if tracking) next time. I can't take aspirin without a good reason as I've had stomach issues recently - so I guess should wait for the blood clotting tests.

I am just petrified that next time l get pregnant it won't stick again due to something I'm doing/ didn't do, or we have something wrong with us which will mean we can't have another baby. I'm still breastfeeding DD and there is just not enough evidence about whether this can cause miscarriage, which makes it really hard to know whether to stop.

How do you get through this time? What can I do to heal? How do I deal with this sadness and uncertainty? How do I make decisions? I just feel so immobilised 😞💔

I'm sorry if this is the wrong board to post on.

Congratulations!! And thank you. I'm just sad my GP wouldn't provide me with progesterone this time around as had high hopes of more support. Under recurrent miscarriage consultant now so waiting on some tests. Eager to give it another try but best be safe & wait to find out if tests show anything up. So lucky to have my little boy who is 5 but feel so guilty i can't bring him a sibling.
