Has anyone had two miscarriages, then been thrid time lucky?

[VickyJane77]

I would love to hear any success stories please to keep me positive....just going through my 2nd mc in 4 months.

Vjay - this is such a worrying time. Rather than waiting until next Tues, would you think about retesting yourself? When preg with DD (after two mc's) my obstetrician asked me each time I saw him (at the beginning) if I was still feeling sick. When I replied in the affirmative he always said "the sicker the better" so hopefully everything is ok ...

Hey VJay: Congratulations on making it 6 weeks. I totally understand your anxiety over the spotting. Was it just that one day? If so, then you're probably fine. Mine started with spotting and just kept getting heavier and heavier (all 3 times).
Why are you waiting for 12 weeks? You should ask to have a scan done right away to see if it grows, especially if you've spotted and are worried, and have had 2 mc!

I'm really hoping for you.
Keep me posted!

Hello VickyJane 77

Yes have had three miscarriages. One before DS at 11 weeks (although it was a delyed one). My son is now 3yrs 9 mths. Then had 2 before the current pregnancy (one at 6 weeks and one at 7 weeks). I am now 15 week pregnant. Still scared that I may have problems - that feeling won't ever go away but hang in there. the story is the same for quite a few others who have had miscarriages. They say up to 2/4 of all pregnancies end in miscarriages.

Good luck!

I am currently pregnant right now, 8 weeks and 1 day to be exact. I have had three miscarriages in total. I am very nervous about this pregnancy. I have three healthy children, the first two pregnancies were a breeze. very normal. My third pregnancy I lost at 5 weeks. I went on to get pregnant 4 months later and had another healthy baby. My fourth pregnancy I lost at 13 weeks. I refrained from "trying" for a while. I became pregnant with my 5th pregnancy a year and a half later only to lose the pregnancy as well at 17 weeks.
two months after losing the 5th pregnancy i became pregnant again, I am now carrying my 6th pregnancy. I am very nervous. in every miscarriage I was told the same thing, its not me and it is unlikely to happen again.
I guess what I am wondering is that has anyone went on to have a healthy child after miscarrying so late?
I have read everything on miscarriage! PLZ help!

Hi everyone

I would love some reassurance too, as am just going through second m/c in five months. Have DD aged 21 months so already very lucky, but gutted to lose latest bean. I had got to 12 weeks when I started bleeding. Scan showed we lost baby at about 7.5 weeks. Am going to leave it a month or so to recover, then prob try again. Not sure whether to keep using clomid, which helped us conceive the last two times (didn't use it with DD). Any thoughts?

Hi Millysmum - don't give up! I had 2 m/c in 2007, one at 7 weeks in March and one at 10 weeks in July. I was an absolute wreck. DH and I decided to put our plans on hold for 6 months to recover. But in the September, after an extremely boozy dinner, we neglected to be careful for one night and....DD born June 08

I remember being in your position and and reading posts like mine and thinking "It'll never happen to me " but it did! Get as much reassurance as you need, I think they scanned me 9 times during my pregnancy, I was so paranoid!!

Ooops, sorry VickyJane, didn't realise you were the OP. Hope you are OK

Thanks MmeMoufle!

It is SO comforting to read other people's experiences, I do think it will all be okay in the end, I'm just a bit worried about how many pregnancies i will have to go through before it works out.

Also now a bit scared of scans as I had a scan at 7.5 weeks and baby had a heartbeat and was a good size. Then scan at 12 weeks said the baby had died at 7.5 weeks. I cannot find any evidence to link these things and I had an early scan with DD and she came out fine. But might be a bit nervy next time. Does anyone know anything about this?

I like the sound of the boozy dinner though! Will def try that!

I finally had my ds after several miscarriages. I was taking clomid (25mg) when I had the last mc, then when I conceived my son the clomid dose was increased (50mg)and I was using cyclogest progesterone pessaries. I don't know what made the difference - upping the clomid dose, the progesterone, or maybe it was just chance, but there is always hope. I had all but given up when I finally conceived ds. I honestly thought I would never be a mum but here I am.

ihad 2 normal pregnancies and 2 sons born 2002 and 2005 i then had a mc in nov 2006. I conceived again in june 2007 and had another son in 2008. I have just had a mmc at 10 weeks although told it had stopped growing at 6 weeks . I was just wondering if its true that some people can only carry a certain sex and if anyone has gone through a similar thing but had the oppisite sex? We have always wanted 4 children whatever the sex but the thought of having another mc is terrifying.

A friend of mine had 2 miscarriages and now how 2 little boys.

Isb3 I have heard that some people can only carry one sex, but don't know how true it is.

Just thought I would update my lo was born 1st September 09 and is now 4 months old, he is lying beside me as I type this. So I was 3rd time lucky

I haven't, but two of the four people I know well who have had babies have both had 2 miscarriages before having trouble free PGs with their third one...

Best of luck with your next PG, and sorry for your losses.

I had 3 before dd was born...didn't do asprin (I think that came in after my dd was born). Went to recurrent miscarriage clinic for 4th pg though and all went well. 5th pg wasn't so lucky, so dd is only one.

It is hard keeping sane during the miscarriages, as someone mentioned earlier....so much grieving and resentment as well as physical discomfort. But we've been lucky enough to come out the other end with our girl, so I can't complain

I feel so sorry for your losses and hope that it's a case of 3rd time lucky for you.

Thank you for this thread. I had 2 MCs in the past 4 months, and it is very reassuring to see from others' experiences that it is still possible

Not third time lucky but fourth for us; miscarriage followed by a ruptured ectopic 7 weeks later then 4 months after that another miscarriage. 5 months (and after various blood tests and investigations) and I became pregnant with DD2 who is now a whole 7 months old. Being pregnant with her was terrifying although I was well looked after by a wonderful obstetrician at Lewisham hospitl. DD2 is Miriam; it means 'wished for child'.

Yes, I had 2 MC (one at about 7 wks, one at about 6 wks) and then lovely DS. I have since had one more MC (8 wks). Was paranoid throughout pregnancy with DS and it was a shame. WIth most recent pregnancy, decided to enjoy it anyway - and even though it ended, and I was very unhappy, my decision to try and enjoy it and not be paranoid did not make me MORE unhappy than I would otherwise have been. If that makes sense. Basically, I am saying - good luck and do try and not be too too paranoid next time ;)

yes, 2 mc's followed by 2 successful pg's

good luck to everyone !

Good morning thought I would start a new up to date thread in the hope anyone has had similar miscarriages,
Back in June I fell pregnant I was unaware as I had a 4 day bleed bleed exactly when my period was due I started bleeding badly end of June and went to hospital, I was told I was pregnant and was about 7-8 weeks which to me is mind blowing anyway the pregnancy had attached to my previous c section scar ( never heard of this before ) called an eptopic c scar pregnancy it’s inside your womb but not a good location because it’s on a blood line. which is basically non viable and this is why I was heamoraging, unfortunately as I suspected I had to have an op which is fairly high risk due to the removal location, that said it went really well, I fell pregnant again 12 October 21 and was so shocked but happy. I have just put it to the bsck of my mind and tried not to put any omen on it and hope I got to 12 weeks, I had an scan at 6 weeks to check the pregnancy was in the right location and thankfully all was good, back 2 weeks later as they said I was measuring a week earlier so could not see a heartbeat, so I went back I was about 7 and 3 days and there was a flicking heartbeat what a relief, so now I just had to pray to get nearer 12 to see how things went. All had gone well just before 12 weeks I started to get cramps and brown discharge no blood just thick brown discharge, i rang my midwife we said to do a uti and drop that in to drs which I did, a day passed it just did not sit right with me I knew something was coming,
I went to bed woke up and said I’m taking myself to a&e at 9am I can’t sit here all day igniting this as somethings not right
Went through all the protocol the hospital have been great, I stayed all day had a scan and found out the baby’s heart had stopped at around 7-8 weeks so must have been shortly after last scan
So was scheduled to come back to have op on the Monday ( currently was Friday I has scan )
As this was safest option for me. The pain was horrific when I was home cramps I would say was like contractions every 2 mins I raced to hospital and from then fresh blood arrived and I knew things had started, I passed lots of clots but my cervix was still closed so I had surgery on Saturday to remove the baby etc.
All has gone well, I’m trying not to think what could have been and trying to think can I be 3rd time lucky or should I just give up
I had 2 children when i was young and never really understood or enjoyed motherhood
I met my current partner who is 10 years younger than me with no children, I’m fit and healthy 40 yr old and we had our daughter who is 5 but I just can’t shake this overwhelming urge to try for another one even with what has has happened to me, I’m writing this from my hospital bed I only had op yesterday I just need to feel there is maybe hope but at the same time I’m extremely grateful for the family I have ! Thanks for listening !
