Positive stories after multiple MCs?

Hey everyone, so I had 2 MCs (CP at 4.5 then a MMC where embryo stopped developing around 8.1) then a baby, then another MMC (again development stopped at 8.1). I've now had all the RMC tests and everything is normal, and cytogenetics found that the last embryo had T15, so was never going to be viable, sadly. I'm now 38, and I've been pregnant in every year from 2020 to 2024 with one (absolutely wonderful) child to show for it. It's starting to really wear me down.

This year (since stopping breastfeeding) my period has been really irregular and unpredictable, probably not helped by the MMC in the middle of the year. I've been ovulating up to a week late or in one case I think not at all. This cycle I ovulated as expected but then my period came at 8DPO for maybe the first time ever. So now I'm a bit worried about perimenopause as well (though am telling myself it's more likely still the hormonal shifts of giving birth/breastfeeding/miscarriage).

Every now and then a thread comes around where people share their happy outcomes, where they eventually managed to have all the children they wanted, even after multiple losses. I feel like I could really use a thread like that right now, so if anyone wants to share happy/hopeful stories, please jump in.

I wanted to share my story to give hope to others going through difficulties. I had 3 miscarriages and was feeling like it would never happen for me. I was depressed and isolated myself from friends and family and just couldn’t cope. I often looked at forums for stories of success. I am so grateful to share that after the 3 miscarriages I went on to have 2 more pregnancies that resulted in two beautiful children. For these pregnancies I ended up taking progesterone as well as ASA. No idea if it worked but I was willing to try it. It breaks my heart hearing of women going through pregnancy struggles. It can be such a hard journey for so many. I hope my story gives a little bit of hope for those struggling with miscarriages.

It's good news that everything is normal. Though probably doesn't feel like it because you were hoping they found something.

I suffered many MC's

1 16 week loss
2 DS- 29 weeker (I had a stroke) baby is now 22
3 MC
4 MC
5 MC
6 Molar pregnancy complete with trestment
7 DS2 34 weeker now 17
8 MC
9 DS3 33 weeker now 13
10 MC two years ago with new partner. He doesn't have children.

I'm now in peril, periods have stopped (almost 43)

It's gruelling. But I have three health boys (men!)

Hope you don’t mind me joining to hear the good news stories. I am so sorry for the losses you’ve had.
Ive had 2 MC and no children, with last loss being a partial molar so hearing positive stories is what I need right now too x
