Does being super fertile make you have a higher chance of recurrent miscarriages ?

Just that really. I’ve been pregnant 5 times so far, with 3 miscarriages. All of those 5x pregnancies I got pregnant within the first try. Even after 2x miscarriages I got pregnant again the first tries after. I actually thought getting pregnant first try was normal, as I know other friends and ppl who say they got pregnant first try. But my husband says it’s not normal , especially 5 times . I then went on google and found articles that if you’re super fertile then you might have a higher chance of miscarriage. I’m now 3x cycles in and still not pregnant, which I’m hoping is a good sign that my body is rejecting the “bad” egg and waiting for the good one . Im waiting for an appointment with the recurrent miscarriage specialist where I have a load of questions.

This is the article I found and there’s more

Hello!
we started trying from a baby this year, got pregnant first try and miscarried at 5-6 weeks. Got pregnant straight away again (before having period) and again miscarried super early. We then didn’t try for a few months to let things settle down and got pregnant straight away again and I’m now 20 weeks.
My GP said I was likely hyper fertile and my womb was so inviting it would let even non viable embryos implant. It’s a positive and a negative getting pregnant so easily.
I hope the appointment goes well 😊

I'm not sure...

But we've conceived every single time we have tried to.

Tried for #1, fell first time, tried for #2, early loss, tried again, early loss, tried again, and now I'm 27 weeks.

We actively avoided conceiving by tracking ovulation for years, too.

Yes. The exact same thing happened to me - freaky hyperfertility that meant I got pregnant every time we tried. Literally every single time. DH thought he had super sperm. But the doctor said it was more likely I had an 'unfussy womb'. Charming!

Anyway, I had 6 miscarriages in a row (mostly chemicals at 4/5 weeks, one at six weeks and one missed miscarriage with a D and C at 11 weeks). Had an appointment booked for a recurrent miscarriage clinic, but in meantime I got pregnant and this one stuck. I had my DS. Then another miscarriage, then my second DS! We are very careful with contraception now.

Wow! You could be talking about me. I just had to wake my husband to show him this. I had 5 miscarriages, lost 7 babies, (2 sets of twins), one after another, falling pregnant first cycle for most of them. Lost them all between 6 and 16 weeks. I would say that I was amazing at getting pregnant but terrible at carrying. All hospital tests showed that we were perfectly healthy and I already had two children to prove I could. Baffling.
We decided to try one last time before giving up completely and amazingly it was 6th time lucky, though I was a nervous wreck until she was in my arms.
Even more amazing was falling pregnant with twins 3 months after she was born. Another successful pregnancy.
My 3 'miracle' babies are teenagers now.
Hope my story gives strength and hope to anyone going through a similar traumatic experience.
