Recurrent Miscarriage Support

[cloud313]

Hello,

I'm reaching out for some support as I go through my third miscarriage. I'm utterly heartbroken, I had all the pregnancy symptoms and no bleeding and went for an early scan due my past two pregnancy losses and found that there was no heartbeat. We've now been referred for tests and just looking for support as we go through it.

It's so hard to keep positive and I hope so much that we get our rainbow baby one day.

Any support or positive stories much appreciated.

@cloud313 I’m so so sorry for your loss. I am in a similar position having very recently had my third miscarriage (in the space of just over a year). I am incredibly lucky to have a 5 year old daughter but no rainbow story I’m able to share yet. All I can say (which I can understand may be of limited reassurance) is that you are not alone, even though it may feel this way. Much like you some if the ways I’m attempting to cope -I’m trying to take every scrap of energy and positivity I can from friends, family and within myself and taking all the help offered. I’m also going to get tests done to understand if there are any specific reasons for why. And I think I’m going to seek some counselling for my partner and I to help us through this period because it has definitely tested us and we need each other more just now. It’s pretty fresh for me but once I start to recover a bit more I’m aiming to get back into exercise in a big way because that’s one of the things that keeps me sane and happy.

have you been able to take some time off work? Or can you in the future perhaps? My experience is the emotional toll can be so tough and can hit you later down the line.

@Leither1982 I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. It does help to talk about it so much with friends and family and others who have experienced similar, not that I'd wish this on anyone. But it does help to not feel alone.

I totally agree about energy and counselling too, I had some after my second which did help, already asked for some more support now. Im the same with exercise, its my job too, Im a PT but its totally fallen off for me. Im just mentally and physically drained but I think that's ok to take this time. I'm sure we will be back exercising soon.

I have a sick note, I'm not sure if or when I'll use it as work helps in a way however, I agree its later down the line it gets me more so. So I will think about that and maybe taking some time off.

I'm sending strength and energy to you. x

OP I'm so sorry for your loss, its utterly heartbreaking isnt it

My DD7 was my 5th pregnancy but shes my 1st child. DS5 was my 8th pregnancy and 2nd child. After the first 3 losses I was reffered for tests and it turned out I have PCOS

I first fell pregnant in 2013 and had my first living child in 2015 and my 2nd living child in 2016. I dont think i helped myself by keep falling pregnant so quickly, i should of given myself time to recover mentally and physically but i became obsessed. It didnt help my actual first baby/pregnancy died 2 hours after he was born so I became obsessed with having a living healthy child

Good look with your referal, i really hope you get your baby x

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's a really shitty place to be.

I had five losses prior to getting pregnant with my son. I then got pregnant again a year after he was born, on my first postpartum cycle, and am now 32 weeks.

I had all the tests done but no cause was ever found. For my two successful pregnancies I had follicle monitoring and triggered my ovulation with Ovitrelle when the follicle was at the optimum size. I also took progesterone in the first trimester but think that was more of a belt and braces thing, as I had also done that in my third pregnancy which ended in a MMC at 8 weeks and it didn't change the outcome that time.
