Share your positive stories post miscarriage

[MisssMarion]

I'm currently TTC#2 and suffered a MMC back in March. I'm trying to keep calm (haha) and not let myself spiral with all the 'what ifs'... I think I could really use some positive stories about successful pregnancies after loss...
Would you have one to share? Thanks! xx

I had a MC at 11 weeks last year, first pregnancy - I'm now 21 weeks! Took us the same amount of time to conceive again, about 4 months, and we did wait a couple of months to try again, which I'm grateful we did as it allowed time for emotional headspace and getting into a good place to try again. I had every 'what if' under the sun, but do remember most MC are a chromosome issue with the embryo and it's no more likely to happen again than to someone whose never had one.

Thank you @Peonies12 ☺️ How's your pregnancy going?

All Ok so far, been very anxious (and still am) but physically not too bad!

I had a miscarriage in February 2022 and my little boy is 15 weeks today.

We hadn't been really trying as I was diagnosed with PCOS 7 months after the miscarriage so had kind of given up hope.

We were just starting to get the ball rolling with fertility treatment when my natural cycles app told me it was the perfect time to take a test. Thought what harm can it do. Pottered around and when I looked and it was positive I couldn't believe it! Did about 7 more tests just to confirm it.

Had no real complications in my pregnancy was just an anxious nervous wreck!

Just commenting so I can read everyone’s replies :).

pregnancy loss at 15w+3 (chromosomal abnormalities) and just waiting for the bleeding to stop before we try again.

@CSSL7 I am also here to read comments for the same reason. I got bad news on Friday so I am TFMR this week as it unlikely baby will survive pregnancy.
I already have one child who is nearly 3 so losing this baby at nearly 14 weeks is a huge shock to me and I am worried how this will impact any future pregnancy. I am normally quite chill first trimester but I can see me being an anxious mess next time. As it is I am worrying I did something wrong this time although the fetal medicine midwife assured me it was one of those things. I do wonder if my age impacts things as I am about to turn 35 next week (great birthday present losing a baby 🤦😩)

Thanks @NatiBarden97
It really helps hearing positive outcomes

I had a MMC in October 2019 at 11 weeks and fell pregnant again in March 2020. I have PCOS.

Hi! Sorry that we’re both here for same reason! I hope Friday goes as well as it can - my TFMR was a medical induction if you had any questions xxx

@MisssMarion Sorry for your experience, it's so rubbish. I hope you are beginning to heal a little bit. I had a molar pregnancy, which was removed at 11 weeks. You have to wait a little bit after a molar for your hormone levels to return to normal, but once we started trying again I fell pregnant straight away and now my baby is 9 months. I know not everyone will agree with this mindset but I find that, even though the loss was awful, I wouldn't have had my little boy if that pregnancy had been successful. So there is something to be grateful for in a terrible experience - I hope you don't mind me putting it like that

Had my eldest in 2020. Had an MC at 11 weeks in 2021, and another in 2023 at 8 weeks. Currently have my eldest along with a bouncing 10 month old.
Sorry for you losses and best of wishes trying again

My mindset is similar which really helps

4 early miscarriages over 13 months…I gave up on the idea of it happening for us as my body just didn’t seem to want to do it. Then I feel pregnant again and my lovely wee girl is 4 months old and napping next to me now. I hope you also get a happy outcome in time.

Sorry for everyone going through loses
For me - had my first miscarriage at around the 10 week mark then fell pregnant with my first, now 4, the next cycle. Had 2 more early loses in between then fell pregnant with my second.

I remember spiralling a little bit after the first, thinking that could be it. I knew miscarriages were a thing obviously, but that was about it. I don't think it would have necessarily made it any easier to deal with if I'd know how common they are, but I do think it's something that should be talked about more.

2 MCs at 41, pregnant 3rd time and gave birth aged 42. The result is (finally) napping opposite me now.

He is a total joy but i am exhausted. I can absolutely now see both a lifetime where i have don't have him (or any child)and a lifetime where I do.

I can still see opportunities for fulfilment and fun and love and disappointment and frustration in both versions. I love my son but i already miss carefree international travel, adult socialising, bring able to read, consume culture, play sport, laze in bed, indulge myself and my partner, and explore career and extra-curricular pursuits.

I hope you are able to life life gloriously whichever of those scenarios you end up living.

Short cycle post miscarriage. Then successful TWIN pregnancy. Conceived at 40 ❤️

@MisssMarion In the same boat as you!
TTC #2 after a loss at 6.5 weeks last month in April 😪
I ovulated a few days ago and DTD like crazy so hoping for some good news soon🙏🏻✨ does make me anxious though, even when we do conceive I don’t think I’ll be able to relax or be excited until we’ve had the 12 week scan and seen that everything’s ok😫

I do have a previous success story though….
Had a chemical at 5 weeks back in 2022, then conceived straight away again a week after the bleeding and went on to have a healthy successful pregnancy so that gives me hope.

sending you lots of love and support and baby dust to us both!✨💕 x

I love reading these posts as they give me hope (specially those over 40s with succesfull pregnancies).
I've had 3MCs in 15months and I'm recovering from a hysteroscopy before starting again...

It's so good to read stories that end well, thank you all. Miscarriage forums are great and really help me feel less alone but they also get me so worried... I try to remind myself that most pregnancies go well and most couples do manage to conceive (and they don't come on here to remind us)... ☺️

3 shitty miscarriages (1) 20 weeks; (2) ruptured ectopic; (3) at 8 weeks. I now have a fabulous 2.5 year old.

I had a miscarriage aged 30 on the day of my 12 week scan, although the baby had died a few weeks earlier. I'd previously had a very straightforward pregnancy with my ds1 so this was a huge shock. I had got pregnant very quickly and I'm ashamed to say that I took it for granted that it would be easy like last time. But it was a very long drawn out miscarriage coupled with a lot of blood loss, hospital stays, scans, tests, d&c, infections and lots of time off work.

But I was lucky enough to fall pregnant again very quickly. I did have a few scares in that pregnancy but I went to term, had a healthy baby and my now 6 year old ds2 is tucked up in bed fast asleep. He really is the most delightful little boy, I'm told frequently how good natured and kind he is. 💙 He didn't sleep between the ages of 1 and 3 but we'll ignore that

How long has it taken for everyone's periods to return? I delivered my baby on Thursday at 14+1 and I am absolutely gutted and finding it hard to accept I am no longer pregnant. I think seeing my baby has made me feel worse but I am glad I saw baby. I am keen to start trying again but also feel guilty for this baby as it was a TFMR as baby was really ill.

I had a Mmc with my first pregansncy. It’s easy to spiral and think that you’ll never carry a baby to term and that there must be something seriously wrong. I know that’s how I felt but lovely people on here reminded me how normal it is and that most people go on to have babies without any issue. I have four healthy children now

After two healthy pregnancies, I miscarried my third baby at 16 weeks, I only had one period before falling pregnant again.
It was a time fraught with with the worry and anxiety it was going to happen again, especially since I had several small bleeds up till 16 weeks - same symptoms.
But after 16 weeks everything settled and I began to relax, everything went perfect after that.
Good luck for your happy ending.

At 16 weeks I was expecting periods to take a while but just 4 weeks later I had a period, and the month after that I was pg again.
