Outcome after several miscarriages?

[treesall]

I've had 2 miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy in the last 8 months. Before that I had my first child very easily with no issues, but it seems I can't carry a baby any more :-(

Has anyone got positive outcomes after similar situations? Am feeling a bit hopeless but so desperate for a second child. I just want to read that it's possible things will work out...but I suppose the less good outcomes are good to hear too you help prepare myself. Anyone been in this position?

We had 2 mc's between our 1st and 2nd, I felt like it was my fault and I just couldn't do it again. That 4th pregnancy was terrifying but we got a healthy baby 5 years after number 1. I had another mc after number 2 then we had number 3 with a 16.5mth gap. Then unexpected twins after a failed coil almost 3 years later. I've had 2 mc's and a few chemical pregnancies since the twins but now 10+3wk and so far so good, there will be a 6 year age gap.

Don't give up hope. Your body has done it once so there is every chance it will do it again. Good luck

I’m so sorry to hear of your losses. It could be the case that there’s nothing wrong, you’ve just been unlucky and the next one sticks. Or it could be that something’s changed since your last pregnancy that’s now causing these issues. But this is potentially identifiable and fixable. I completely get how you must be feeling, but try not to fixate on the idea you can no longer carry a child.

Would you like to tell us a little about what’s been going on for you, perhaps we can help make suggestions if you let us know some details like your age, age of your DC, what if anything you’re taking, etc.

Thank you @Chelyanne. I'm sorry to hear of your losses, that sounds so hard. Many congratulations on your family and good luck with this pregnancy. It's good to hear your story - thank you.

@Totallydefeated thank you. I'm 33. Had my first almost 3 years ago, after being very fortunate to get pregnant on our first attempt.

Took ages for my cycles to come back and I had to totally stop breastfeeding to get it back last jan when he was 21 months. Started trying immediately and finally fell pregnant in August. Felt something wasn't right, scan showed baby was measuring 2 weeks behind and was only about 6 weeks. Waited 2 more weeks to see if it would happen, then medical management which didn't fully work, then an MVA when I would have been about 12 weeks. The gynae said there was hugely significant blood flow to the pregnancy and it's unlikely I would have miscarried it naturally for several months.I had one full cycle, then a chemical in December, (period was only a day or so late) and then another at 5.5 weeks this month. Tests never progressed past 1-2 weeks so I knew it was coming.

So that's 3 in a row that haven't stuck past 5-6 weeks and I just feel like something must be wrong. I am very aware we were lucky before, and that many people suffer much harder abs longer journeys than this, but it just feels like it's not going to happen and something is wrong.

My DH and I are both only children and I'm heartbroken to think of my child growing up totally alone, with no family except us (and potentially no one at all once we are gone). Thank you for listening.

I had 2 consecutive mc last year then my cycle got messed up for 2-3 months. I’m pregnant again and in my second trimester. It’s hard but it will happen, just have faith and try not to stress too much.

Contact your gp. They may offer you testing for recurrent losses at this point (or they may not). Don't expect that to be a fast process though, especially with coronavirus backlogs.

Very sorry to hear you've been having a thought time. Please be kind to yourself.
