Miscarriage in their 20s?

[haidri]

I'm a healthy 24 year old with no underlying conditions nor family history, whose had two miscarriages in a year.

Anyone with a story of miscarrying at 20s? I seem to find 30s & over with difficulties ttc

I had a miscarriage March last year. I was 24 at the time

I had mc's between 8&12wk at 23, 25 & 27. I also had 3 children in my 20's, resulting from 1st, 4th & 6th pregnancies. In my 30's I've had a set of twins, 2 mc's and 10wk pregnant atm.

I had a mc at 20. It can happen at any age unfortunately

I am sorry for your losses x

Unfortunately I know several friends who miscarried in their 20s, it is something that affects people of all ages. None were diagnosed with any underlying problems and all went on to have normal pregnancies.

Still, in my opinion there is nothing to lose by talking to a doctor about possible underlying issues or investigations just to rule out any complications which could be treated next time. There are places that specialise in this kind of thing too.

Although your chance of miscarriage does increase with age, it can happen at any age.

I miscarried three times before I was 30.

I’m sorry for your losses. The NHS will investigate if you have 3 or more but hopefully it won’t come to that and your next pregnancy will be successful.

@Teakind they won't consider me "important" if I don't have 3 miscarriages in a row. I've had two in a row now...

@haidri I was the same as it is incredibly frustrating. There are private doctors who will run tests if that’s an option for you.

I did that to skip the wait on the NHS as the fertility specialist they sent me too was terrible.

Also @haidri please don’t lose hope. I’m now pregnant with my third child despite them not really finding anything ‘wrong’ with me

@Teakind to have two miscarriages in less than 6 months has left 1% hope in me..

@haidri it’s an awful feeling but there is 100% still hope that everything will be ok. Have you spoken to your GP? They might have some advice to try, for example taking progesterone supplements next time you fall pregnant.

I had a Mc at 19 then a chemical and a mcc a few years later. No pregnancies in between.
I then conceived and had a healthy baby in 30s.

As hard as it is to take the advice there's probably nothing wrong and it was just unfortunate. I had 3 miscarriages last year two back to back ones as well the longest being 12 weeks.
Currently 15 weeks pregnant and I have a 3 year old DD. Had the tests done and nothing wrong with me! I did ask my partner to start taking men's prenatal vitamins and we didn't use any lube and it worked. I'm 27 x

I had a miscarriage at 27, DS at 29, MMC at 31 and DD at 32. I'm so sorry for your losses x

Hi @haidri I am currently in exactly the same position as you. I am 28 and from June 2020 to now I have had 3 miscarriages (at 8 and 12 weeks). It is absolutely heartbreaking and nothing anyone can say can make it better. Just be kind to yourself. We are having a break because it's just too much physically and emotionally. Sending lots of hugs

@Taskmasterlover I hope happiness comes your way & you can give me hope too with a positive pregnancy experience!!!!💓

Hi @haidri I’m so sorry for your losses. I’m 28 and have had 4 losses in 2020. We decided to go private as there is an 11 month wait in our local hospital on the NHS for tests etc. All tests so far have come back as normal. I think there’s a Tommy’s clinic you can get referred to after two losses xx

I would agree go private if you can possibly afford it, it will be quicker and probably better. It won’t mean you have to pay for everything, they could give you advice on tests to ask the GP for etc.

Please don’t lose hope. It doesn’t mean that there is necessarily any ‘reason’ for your losses...it’s worth getting that checked for sure, but it could just be bad luck. Even the healthiest and most fertile person can miscarry for a multitude of reasons.

Sorry for your lost it's awful, I had one in may 2020 was 24 at time I'm healthy I don't smoke, hardly drink I done everything right the minute I found out I was pregnant and it still happened the women said unfortunately sometimes it isn't meant to be.
I had a lot of problems after bleeding for weeks I pestered them and they gave me multiple scans and put my mind at ease that it just wasn't meant to be everything was normal for me to have a healthy pregnancy if your worried please contact your doctor until they do something people go to them for a lot less!
& Please don't give up hope I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant now I no it can be so disheartening each month I used seven seas 'trying to conceive' tablets & I highly recommend them xx

If you’re of either South Asian or African origin I’d try adding some more vitamin d3 to your diet and then go to your GP to ask for common clotting disorder / pcos / thyroid tests. If they come out clear get a get a fertility mot from a fertility clinic. I

I am having one now... 27 ... I don't think it discriminates on age unfortunately

@boymum1x I'm so glad it worked for you, I pray this pregnancy of yours is smooth and successful xxxx

@Cordial11 stay strong, me too! Birthed the foetus after 9hrs of pain last night

I've been where you are, a few years older but in my 20s. I had a MMC at my 12 week scan, after I had my D&Cs and when my body finally picked up a few months later, I had a CP a few days after finding out I was pregnant again.

I then got pregnant straight away following the CP and am over 30 weeks pregnant.

I worry every day, it's a lot easier since baby has started moving about but I find myself waiting for movements a lot through the days. Unfortunately, I think the fear stays with you after these experiences and I really thought I would never carry a baby this far so every day feels like a little miracle.

It can happen, no matter how negative you feel right now (I won't talk with certainty about baby arriving, I won't round up how many weeks I am, I take each day at a time and do my best not to jinx anything).

Luckily due to my MMC and then RPOC being so awful, the EPU and I were very well acquainted and they gave me a blood test for my CP and the scanned me a few times for this pregnancy.

Good luck OP

My first Miscarriage was at 17 followed by 20, 24 and 32. My DSIS had 3 between the ages of 16-20. Definitely doesn’t care about your age

@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot1 I'm praying for you to
see this miracle in your arms & May the pregnancy go smoothly! Hearing your story has given me a bit of hope
