2 miscarriages in a row

[Akira93]

Hello,

I had my first pregnancy and miscarriage last December. And right now I’m experiencing my second miscarriage. I’m 30, and was 29 when I had my first miscarriage a few months ago.

I don’t know what to think. Before even trying my husband and I did all the tests the doctor told to do; everything was ok. We’re healthy.

I read that one miscarriage is common, it can happen but that a second one in a row is only 2% of possibilities.

I don’t understand why this is happening. This time I checked my HCG and progesterone levels and they were low. The doctor suggested to take progesterone supplements next time, before trying.

We have no problems in becoming pregnant, but after 6 weeks I miscarry. We are just heartbroken

Has anybody faced the same? Did the progesterone help?

Sorry for your loss. The second miscarriage is extra tough as still nobody takes it seriously. I had 4MC in the end, progesterone alone made no difference and I eventually got answers (high uNK cells) and treatment (steroids heparin progesterone) from the implantation clinic at Coventry University hospital. AFAIK you are still more likely to have a successful pregnancy next time than to miscarry again (hence NHS won’t do anything until you have 3MC but man it’s hard to swallow that and put yourself back in a vulnerable position!.

Thank you @Patchworksack ! I’m sorry for your losses too… It as been shocking for us, to the point that we don’t know when we will try again (maybe 6 months/ 1 year). I’m still shaken. The psychological pain and the physical pain to go through all this in such a short time 😓None in our families experienced miscarriages so we truly didn’t expect anything of this sort. I feel like our “childlike” excitement over something so beautiful like a pregnancy, is gone. Now there is only anxiety on if and when it will happen again. It’s tough

The pregnancy after miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage threads here were a lifesaver for me. It’s hard to be around folk who are thrilled to be pregnant and it never enters their head it could all go wrong.
