Six miscarriages

[OpalSnail]

I’ve just had a scan and found out I’m having my sixth miscarriage in two years (no kids). I’ve tested positive for natural killer cells and maybe for a clotting issue so had all the drugs thrown at me - pred, clexane, aspirin and progesterone.

I’m just after some positivity here - how do I remain hopeful that this isn’t going to happen again? I don’t understand how women seem to just have babies, it seems so impossible. When do I just give up?

I'm so sorry.
I just kept going until one day I couldn't do it any more.

I am so sorry for your losses. It's completely devastating.

I have not experienced recurrent miscarriage but am currently being referred to a Tommy's Rainbow clinic. With the testing you've had, you've maybe already been supported by Tommy's or similar but I know they have a miscarriage clinic too. When I have spoken to Tommy's they have been so supportive, it might be worth making contact with them. www.tommys.org/research/research-centres/tommys-national-centre-miscarriage-research-clinics

@OpalSnail so sorry for your losses. I've just had my third but I've never had to find out via scan. My heart goes out to you it must be awful. There's a thread a bit further down here called Dr Shahata advice. There's some really positive experiences on there from woman who have been on the same drugs/protocol as you so you may find some much needed light on your situation there. They give loads of tips on when to start certain drugs and testing for ovulation etc and there's been quite a few ladies on there who are having their rainbows.
I would always say never give up unless you want to, however, I now also know how awful it is to get pregnant and rather than be filled with joy it it tinged with panic, sadness, worry and anxiety. Be kind to yourself, take as much time as you need and try to do something every day that makes you smile 😊

I'm literally in the same situation.... depending on who you all had between 4 and 6 mc since march 2022. Seen Prof in Coventry, on sitagliptin, turn 40 later this year. We've decided to stop trying at 40. Partly due to the mental strain, partly due to needing to move on and enjoy the life we have and partly because of the every increasing risk of T21. Would be horrendous to try for years and then have that decision to make.
