Miscarriage followed by a missed miscarriage

[Rainbowflower2024]

Hi everyone,
I had a miscarriage November 2023 and then a missed miscarriage in May 2024. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after experiencing similar?

Following, I had a chemical nov 2022, MMC June 2023, mc aug 2023 and mc January 2024.... I need stories of hope!

I am so sorry to hear this 😥I had a missed miscarriage which required a D&C followed by a complete miscarriage before I had DS, I miscarried his twin around 7 weeks.

It took ages to get pregnant before both miscarriages so it was very disheartening along with upsetting. But I used easy at home OPKs when I got pregnant with DS and got pregnant really quickly after the 2nd miscarriage. It was a few cycles but 1st cycle usign OPKS, I was missing my ovulation.

This pregnancy I had one complete miscarriage at 7 weeks but I'm 28 weeks with DS 2 now. I used OPKs again. Started TTC in Sept, I'm due this August.

that’s good! I’m so happy you got your rainbow baby. It’s hard right now but I like hearing these stories as it makes me feel like there is hope. I’m due for a surgical in a few days too. How were you when you found out you were pregnant again?

What's a surgical? It gave me hope and comfort to hear other women have babies after MC as well so always like to post.

I was worried for the first trimester but really had to try and let it go. It's very hard not to be worried but personally I didn't go down the route of many private scans as well because I think the relief is short lived.

I have really poor movemnet which doesn't help. But I have found I mostly have to trust that what will be will be and that worrying will not change anything. Much easier said than done I know!!

@Rainbowflower2024 I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is so difficult.

I had a MMC in January which required surgical management and am now going through exactly the same thing - just waiting to be booked in for another D&C. So 2 MMC in 5 months.

There is hope though... I also had a MMC back in January 2019, but later went on to have my DD in 2020 and less than 2 years later my DS. Both without any treatment.

I am actually being referred to the recurrent miscarriage unit this time, after 2 MMC in a row. Perhaps this is something you could ask for too? Hopefully it's just terrible luck though, and you will get your rainbow very soon. Sending hugs x

So sorry for you. Im currently going through a miscarriage and it's devastating. I haven't told any of my family, including my fiancé. I've just passed a big clot, kind of sausage shaped and it had white stringy bits running through it. Is that normal? Any help would be so great

I had 3 chemical pregnancies, an early miscarriage and a missed miscarriage in the last few years. All from IVF. I'm now 35 weeks pregnant with our final throw of the dice so yes it can happen..and I was one that never believed it would.

Yeah I had a brighten ovum and a another miscarriage after that I am now 40 and pregnant again 20 weeks gone and it's a boy , there is hope 😍

Surgical is similar to D&C i think. Yes I was also thinking about skipping the private scans and to just trust my body. I didn’t want to be attached so early.

So sorry to hear you're going through this. It's so hard.
I had miscarriage and two MMCs over the course of about a year. Got pregnant again a few months later and I'm currently lying next to my sleeping 4 year old from that pregnancy ☺️

Oh it’s horrible on your own! Definitely tell someone as I found it easier to tackle it with my partner. When I had my first miscarriage it was natural and I also passed a big clot. That’s when I knew what it was. I continued testing a few weeks after to make sure my hcg went down and the tests eventually became negative. It’s horrible going through it on your own. I hope you recover well.

Just put my 10 month old rainbow boy to bed. He arrived July 23 after 3 consecutive miscarriages (mmc, chemical then mmc) all between 2021 - 23.

Don’t give up hope - push for answers to rule out any underlining issues. Get a referral to a recurrent miscarriage clinic through Tommys charity/ your GP.

Im sorry for your loss - it’s so shit and people don’t tend to understand unless they’ve been through it. Keep going x

Are you in the UK? I know they don’t really investigate until it’s 3 miscarriages. Hoping I get some advice or help for when I try again though.

how was your D&C? I’m going for a surgical which I think is similar and I’m scared.

and thank you for sharing the positive story! Gives me hope

Sorry for your loses. Can I ask, what is the difference between a chemical pregnancy and an early miscarriage? How far along you are?

Yes I live in the Midlands, travelled to Coventry on numerous occasions which is out of area but my GP was happy to refer. I’m sure there are a few clinics in the UK will accept a referral after 2, check out Tommys website.

I've not had any missed miscarriages but in 2023 I had 3 early miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy. Christmas day I had another positive test and now am 26 weeks pregnant. I totally get the feeling of 'it's never going to happen to me'. It's nice that you're getting positive stories!

Sorry to hear your going through this, it is so heartbreaking but there is still hope.
I’ve had 3 consecutive miscarriages last year and now 36 weeks pregnant on the finale stretch.
keep staying hopeful your rainbow baby will come xxx

@Letsgotitans chemical pregnancies were bleeding after a positive test but before any scans so before 6/7 weeks. Early miscarriage were a bit later so identified at the early viability scan. One was a pregnancy of unknown location that they never found but resolved itself. The other was a growing sac but didn't develop properly and miscarried at 9 weeks.

You poor thing, talk to your fiance, don't keep this bottled up x

So sorry for your losses 😞

I had two MMCs in a row followed by an IVF chemical. The next cycle I got pregnant naturally again and my daughter was born on Friday 🥰

I hope you get your miracle soon. It is possible!

@pontipinemum I haven't told anyone as I don't want to upset anyone else. Its almost over, I'm fairly sure I've passed most of the tissue. Fingers crossed the next time it's successful, this is my 2nd miscarriage. Thank you x

@Rainbowflower2024 I've gone most of the way and I'm fairly sure it's almost over, I took a sick day today as the cramps were almost unbearable but after I passed the big clot it all seems to have calmed, the cramps are almost gone and the bleeding is lighter. I have an appointment next week for a scan! I'm sure I'll find out then, thank you x

@Jodiem89 that's good you have a scan booked, after one of my miscarriages it didn't all came away. They gave me some drugs, I came back a week later and all was clear. If you don't feel you want to talk to anyone IRL you don't have to but I don't think you should carry this pain alone. My husband was upset each time too but it was good to share the grief. But he knew I was pregnant the second I found out so I had to tell him. I get it though I actually do remember feeling guilty telling him because I didn't want to upset him.

I had 1 mc and 2 mmc before having my DC1, we're now trying for DC2 and had another 2 mmc. Mine is caused by endometriosis (undiagnosed until DC1 was 1 year old and I was in agony monthly).

Its absolutely heartbreaking, but there is hope! When I started talking about our ttc journey and mc I found out a lot of couples suffer in silence, I was so surprised how many others had also suffered heartbreak.

But a successful pregnancy is totally possible 💐

Can I ask how your surgical management went?
