I had a chemical before my son 4 years ago, and now I’ve had 2x recurrent missed miscarriages within 4 months both at 10 weeks measuring 6 weeks. I got pregnant on all of my first attempts with my pregnancies. Now it’s been 2 months since I miscarried. I waited 1 month for my period before trying , I hoped to get pregnant first try, but my period came today. I can just feel myself get really anxious if I don’t get pregnant soon. Im very regular with my periods, and now I monitor when I’m ovulating through a basal temp. I hate this feeling of worrying I won’t be able to have another baby!!

Hi OP I am sorry to hear you are going through this. It’s so devastating. I am currently going through my second loss and still being seen at EPU as it is ongoing. I also had an early loss in October which I managed at home. Can you get a referral to the recurrent miscarriage clinic as you have had 3 losses? I hear people talking about progesterone and aspirin but I have no experience with either. I hope we get our rainbow babies soon

Sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I had 3 in the last 18 months, last one was in August, baby stopped growing at 9 weeks. As it was my 3rd miscarriage I was offered testing on the foetus and referred to the miscarriage clinic. I had my appointment yesterday and to be honest they gave me some reassurance and found out it was a little girl. They also did bloods on me. You are suppose to get referred to the miscarriage clinic after 3 losses

Hi @Neady1980 so sorry for your losses. Even though I had 2x recurrent I have been referred to the recurrent miscarriage specialist at my hospital as I had a chemical pregnancy before my son . It’s a long wait list though, I’ve been waiting for 2 months now. Did they find anything with the tests? I was told you have to wait another 3 months after the first round of blood tests. I hope they find a solution for you

hi @2earlylosses I’m so sorry you’re going through this aswell. Yes I am currently on the wait list for the recurrent miscarriage clinic. I’ve been waiting 2 months and yesterday they sent a letter saying I need to send back their form if I still want to be seen. Yes the doctor said if I were to become pregnant again they’d prescribe me progesterone pessaries. And even though i haven’t had any tests for blood clotting disorders I would ask my doctor if it’s safe to take low dose of asprin if I become pregnant again . I hope we get our rainbow babys soon too 😔

Hi @Doremi1689 I had my D&C in August and only had my appointment in the Miscarriage clinic yesterday. They just tested the foetus and told me she had extra chromosome 22. I have severe endometriosis and was told I'm infertile since I was 16 but for some reason I'm now fertile in my 40's. I did get bloods done yesterday to check hormone levels and basically the consultant told me there was no reason for me to stop trying and gave me a prescription for asprin and progesterone to start taking as soon as I get another positive test. He will ring in a couple of weeks with the results and also provided me with a contact number for the midwife that works with him for me to contact directly for early scans etc. I was actually relieved leaving there, yes my age is a factor but as he said its not impossible. I honestly don't understand now how I am fertile after years of infertility and the only thing that has changed is that I started to take vitamins. Here's hoping this year will be good to is all
