4 miscarriages

[Amy430]

Hi all, I’m pretty sure I’m currently misscarrying for the 4th time in less than a year. I am beside myself and feel stupid for even having a bit of hope this time around. There seems to be very little out there to help which makes me feel very alone in all this, I was told by my go to try taking aspirin, then I was told I should stop as they weren’t sure I should be.
I find it really hard to talk to my partner as I can see he is finding it hard to but dealing with it in his own way. I wonder if many others have been through anything similar, and if you had any advice of how you coped, how you carried on trying or if you had any success ? Thanks in advance

Hi @Amy430 I'm so sorry for what you're going through, I had 3 miscarriages in a row in the space of about 7 months. I know how tough it is and my and OH both dealt with it differently and didn't really talk about it.

Have you had any investigations for your miscarriages? If not I would ask for your GP to make a referral for you. There is some things your GP can check in the mean time like your thyroid function. My thyroid was actually under active and they think that could of caused the losses, currently on my 4th pregnancy and this the furthest I've got at almost 16 weeks now my thyroid is under control.

Hi ,

I didn't want to read and run. I had a chemical pregnancy back in October at just over 4 weeks and was so upset so can't even imagine what you feel. Just wanted you to know you're not alone x

Thanks for replying, congrats on your current pregnancy that’s so exciting!!
I have had tests by gp all came back fine, I’ve been referred to a clinic but the wait lists are so long. My partner wants to carry on trying and I do as I think it gives me hope again but I just can’t keep going through this and even when I do get a positive pregnancy test it’s just fills me with anxiety. I’m waiting to see if the bleeding gets heavier but have already prepared for the worst

@Amy430 my only other suggestion would be to actually get your blood results numbers and look them up yourself because my GP kept telling me my thyroid was normal even though I knew it wasn't but it wasn't until I saw the recurrent MC clinic that they confirmed my thyroid levels were off for pregnancy and TTC. Also if you having bleeding during pregnancy your GP can prescribed progesterone.

I completely get feeling like that, when I got the pregnancy test result for this pregnancy my first thought was 'here we go again' it's really hard.

I'll be keeping everything crossed your bleeding doesn't progress, how many weeks are you? Could you try contacting your local EPU and see if they can scan you?

Low b12 can cause miscarriages

Yea they will give me a scan on Saturday if I still test positive on Friday but I guess I'll see how it goes I think I'll know myself by then.
Fingers crossed I get some answers at the RMC

@Amy430 let us know how you get on with the scan! Hope you get some answers from the RMC

OP I had 4 miscarriages and have Hughes Syndrome, or anti phospholipid syndrome. I had to inject myself with blood thinners, take aspirin, and had max strength progesterone for the first 10 weeks.
I have 2DD’s now.

Get a referral to a fertility clinic. Mine was on the nhs. Apparently you needed 3 to ‘qualify’, how lovely.

It can be unexplained, but sometimes it can be fixed. Good luck

Hi OP,
Sorry to bother you I just wondered what your outcome was?
I am currently experiencing what I think is the start of my 4th miscarriage in 16 months. I am on aspirin, progesterone pessaries & Inhixa blood thinners and I started having a light bleed to bleeding every time I wipe 2 days ago which isn’t going away?
I have a scan at Tommy’s tomorrow morning so got to wait it out but just hate this feeling!!!
