I remember agonising and searching mumsnet over and over for a positive story after 3 losses. Even if i only manage to give one person hope or be there to answer any questions i will try to be here to help.
Id resigned myself to having a baby of my own and felt i was failing my partner who always used to say children would never define us 😔 so when i did get pregnant again i was full of dread spent the whole pregnancy in fear something would go wrong i got put on cyclogest pessaries twice daily until i reached 16 weeks and baby aspirin until 12 weeks but i contined aspirin until was 36 weeks thats the only thing different and im currently watching my little miracle sleep.

I love stories like these, huge congratulations and well done for persevering when it it must have felt impossible. X

Huge congratulations.

Stories like this bring me hope so thank you for sharing. I’ve had 2 miscarriages and 2 chemical pregnancies. Plus a TFMR at 22 weeks. I feel incredibly hopeless at times but I’m currently pregnant again and trying to keep that small hope alive that this could be the one. So thank you for helping to keep it going. So sorry for your previous losses

Congratulations! I got my miracle after three losses too. She’s now two and when she says ‘I love you, mummy’ it’s just everything 🥰

@FullofconfusionI have everything crossed that this is your one. So sorry for your losses. x

Congratulations xx I needed this, it has given me hope. Was this your first pregnancy where you took cyclogest and aspirin?
Thank you x

@Sendhelpplz55 The recurrent misscarriage clinic wouldnt see me as i was pregnant again after waiting for so long on their list (they will test you for different things if your not pregnant) i kicked up a fuss for a early scan after having bad news at 2 12 week scans then once scan confirmed a viable pregnancy and heartbeat at around 7 and a half weeks they gave me cyclogest to take until i was 16 weeks then one of the ladies said why havent they told you to take aspirin so i took it off my own back to take 75mg a day i got them from boots in tablet form.. Also took folic acid and vitamin D throughout xx
