Success stories after two miscarriages- feeling disheartened

[EQSH]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently going through my second miscarriage in as many months. I fell pregnant for the first time in March and miscarried in April at 6w2d. We then fell pregnant again quickly without a period in between. An early scan was measuring behind and a follow up scan a week later showed no growth and no heartbeat so this isn’t a viable pregnancy either.

I’m feeling very sad and disheartened and I’m really worried that it’s never going to happen for me. After my initial miscarriage I asked the GP to run some bloods for me (FBC, b12/folate, liver function, kidney function, testerone levels, antiphospholipid antibodies, coagulation screen and ferritin). All came back as normal except for super low ferritin but this was because of the blood loss from the first miscarriage rather than a cause of it and is being treated with iron supplements. I’m 33 (almost 34) and I do have mild PCOS but really no other significant medical history.

I started additional supplements following the first miscarriage (omega 3, coq10, myoinositol) along side the folic acid and high dose vitamin D I was already taking and continued all but the coq10 following my BFP. I also paid privately for progesterone suppositories and started those a few days after testing positive. Everyone said the first miscarriage was bad luck so I really thought this time would be our time, especially with the extra supplements and progesterone etc… but sadly not.

I’m wondering if anyone could share any success stories after 2 miscarriages? I guess I just want to feel like there is the possibility of light at the end of the tunnel 😞

@EQSH Hello - am very sorry to hear about your losses. I had two miscarriages both at about 7 weeks a few months apart. Tests showed no problems but I was aware I would have early menopause as my mother had had one - I was 34 at the time. My third pregnancy was straightforward and I had my DS at 36 - I then had my menopause at 37 so he was probably my last egg! He is now 22 years old so there is lots of hope out there. Wishing you the absolute best of luck

I didn't take any supplements beyond folic acid just to add - but this was 23 years ago!

I could have wrote this myself, our stories are almost like for like. 1st MC summer 2023, 2nd summer 2024, pregnant and she stuck summer 2025….holding my 8 month baby girl as I write this summer 2026. When in the depths of MC all I felt was dispair and after the 2nd started looking at other families thinking it would never be us, but it is, and I hope it is for you one day soon. I know it doesn’t feel it now but the odds are heavily in your favour. Take care! X

1st was miscarriage in my twenties at about 7 weeks, 2nd miscarriage in my early 30s following my 12 week scan. Kinda felt like it wasn't going to happen. Late 30s met my husband and in my 40s gave birth to two beautiful girls. Its devastating at the time. I talked about it openly with friends and family at time. My cousin later told me that this had really helped her when she was going through it as you feel like its just you, but then realise its so common with early pregnancy.
