Recurrent miscarriage 3+ miscarriages

[Kappi]

Hi all,

Just thought I’d create a space where I could document todays thoughts and hopefully its useful to someone else who is sadly experiencing similar..

Now on my 3rd missed miscarriage and I’m finding it harder and harder to accept this is just horrid bad luck.

I was under the recurrent miscarriage clinic at local hospital and have had the usual tests - bloods and physical scan. All fine! Nothing came back out of sorts.

We’re hopeful we can send this latest pregnancy for genetic testing - it just depends on whether there is anything to test and if results are gained.

Ive had all 3 miscarriages end before 8.5 weeks.
(8, 7 and 6) all 3 have seen heartbeats at 5.5.

I also took cyclogest progesterone from positive test and higher dose folic acid.

consultants and nurses have been very lovely and kind but keep explaining that none of my bloods indicate any problems. On one hand this is reassuring to hear - but equally it’s upsetting to think that we can be this unlucky.

just wondered if there’s anyone else out there who had 3 miscarriages and went on to carry full term.. or if there’s anyone in the same boat that can understand the dreadful uncertainty of the whole thing!

@Figtree11 it's so hard isn't it. I am having to take prednisone from ovulation. It's not too bad but I get a new symptom every month from it. I'm due to test on Wednesday so we will see what this month brings. I dont feel pregnant in the slightest but the pred is said to mask most symptoms anyway,

@Objectiontime hey, how are you getting on?

Hope everyone else is doing ok. It’s been 2 weeks now since my loss and I am struggling a bit. I’ve been ok up until yesterday, but now I just feel such lack of hope. Still have around another 10 weeks wait for the cytogenetic tests to come back

I'm not too bad, thank you for asking. My test was negative so now on cycle 6 since my last loss and my third cycle on prednisone from ovulation.
I know how you feel about the lack of hope but there is always some. I have to admit that while I am desperate to conceive again I also dread it because of the fear of loss, particularly now that I have some medication that may or may not help. I guess I'm thinking, if it doesnt work, what next.
You have to wait a long time for your test results. I so hope you get some answers and that they give you helpful information.

@Kappi thank you! Hope you got on ok? I’m about six days from EC. On so much medication at the moment 😅

Hi all, I hope it’s ok if I join you. I’m so sorry to see you all in this situation too.

my story in short: I have a daughter who is almost four from my first ivf cycle in 2020 (had ivf after failing to conceive for over a year with pcos and failing to conceive after 6 months clomid). Returned to clinic to try for a sibling when she turned 1. In the past three years we’ve had 3 more egg retrievals, 8 embryo transfers, 5 which failed to implant and 3 which ended in miscarriage. We’re just starting another egg retrieval cycle and undergoing reproductive immunology treatment with dr Gorgy alongside our ivf.

i don’t think anyone who doesn’t fall into the awful statistic of being in the 2% that experience recurrent pregnancy loss can understand how horrific it is. I’m still hopeful for my happy ending and hope you all get yours too.
