Second missed miscarriage in 5 months. TW miscarriage

[BoldReader]

Hi everyone, not sure why I'm posting, maybe just to vent, see if anyone has been in similar situation. I have a daughter born Jan 2023 ❤️no issues conceiving her and no issues in the pregnancy. TTC again then had a missed miscarriage in May 2025 at 10 weeks (baby stopped growing at 6w4d) had severe bleeding resulting in being admitted through A&E, failed medical management and then surgery. TTC again full of hope as everyone said it was probably just bad luck and these things happen. I had a positive test start of Sept 2025, first scan at 7 weeks (saw heartbeat but baby measuring about a week behind, I usually ovulate cd18 so assured this was likely normal) went for second scan at 9 weeks baby stopped growing between 6-7 weeks and no heartbeat. I then had a scan at EPU which confirmed what id seen at private scan. I had surgery on Wednesday, feeling very teary, low and just in shock. I have an appt in 6 weeks for recurrent miscarriage tests/bloods. There's also a plan if I get pregnant again to take Cyclogest 400mg with positive pregnancy test &
Enoxaparin with fetal heartbeat, has anyone done this and it worked? I'm off work and don't know how I'm expected to go back anytime soon and get back to 'normality'. How can I trust if I get pregnant again it will be ok. thanks if you've read this far.

Hi,

im so sorry for your losses and I hope you’re being kind to yourself and have a lot of support around you.

I had a miscarriage in December 2024 and then one in March 2025 at 6 and 8 weeks respectively.

my wife carried our two sons as I wasn’t too bothered about carrying but I hit 38 and that changed, we used the same donor for our children. I’m now 26 weeks pregnant with a little girl so it just wanted to say, it will happen for you.

right now, sit and feel all the grief and sadness you’re meant to feel but don’t set up camp there forever. I nearly did, and it wasn’t until my friend said “just one more go”. I’m so grateful I did as I’d resided myself to the fact it would never happen for me.

what is meant for you won’t pass you by….

take care OP, I’m sending you love and light ✨

Oh and to add, I used progesterone pessaries from 7 - 12 weeks. X

Oh you poor love.

No experience with those drugs, I just didn’t want to scroll past without stopping to give you a hug.

As PP have said, allow yourself the grief. Everyone reacts differently so don’t let yourself be pressured into returning to work if you aren’t ready. As to worry if you get pregnant again - see if your midwifery team have any support on hand for those who’ve had repeated miscarriages or know of a local therapist that can help you work through your thoughts.

Sending big hugs xx

Slightly different as my pregnancies have all been IVF but just wanted to say that both drugs are very common in IVF pregnancies. I used cyclogest pessaries and dalterparin (similar to Enoxaparin) from transfer, so prior to a positive test. I stopped cyclogest at 13 weeks (after my NHS 12 week scan) but stayed on dalterparin until after birth each time.

I've had two losses too and there are no words. Be kind to yourself.

Thank you all for your kind words, it really helps to feel less alone. It all just feels very raw right now but hopefully with time I'll feel a bit better and ready to try again. I'm nervous about the recurrent miscarriage bloods in 6 weeks as I don't want anything to be wrong with me but part of me also hopes that maybe there is something wrong that is a simple fix.. I just don't know, very confusing mixed emotions right now. Thank you all again 💕

I had two back to back miscarriages after having my daughter.
I'd count yourself very lucky to be in the situation that they're looking at your bloods and considering recurrent loss issues.
I had jackshit offered because I'd had a child and hadn't had 3 mcs in a row.
I then conceived the month after and bled heavily with her. She's now 6 and an absolute clown and eagerly awaiting her baby sisters arrival.
It's utter crap being in the thick of it, let yourself feel, but know there is light at the end of the tunnel and we're just the unfortunate ones who have to live in darkness for a little while ❤

Thank you for sharing, it really helps to hear from someone who’s been through it and come out the other side. I am grateful that I have recurrent loss tests coming up, but I’m just so anxious about the unknown, uncertainty and the waiting. It’s hard after two losses so close together.

But it is comforting to know that there could be light for me too, even if I can’t quite see it yet. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming new arrival and thank you again
❤️

Hey hope you’re doing ok. I’ve just had my 3rd MC and my GP did bloods before referring. My bloods have come back with suspected APS (a blood clotting disorder which can cause MC and pre-term birth). I’m scared that they’ll suggest we give up (already have a DD) but at the same time I’m pleased that there might be a reason and something they can fix.

This was me last year! I had DS1 in 2022, we conceived him first month and had no issues.

I then got pregnant again in 2023 and had a mmc - found out at our 12 week scan, and then another mmc in 2024 and found out at 12 weeks. Both losses happened around 8 weeks. First mmc I bled heavily for 10 weeks, lost so much blood I was admitted to hospital, was anaemic and ended up needing surgical management. Second time I went straight for surgical management.

I then got pregnant again in December 2024 and gave birth to DS2 in September.

I had scans and blood tests done any they all came back fine. I actually posted on here and was recommended a consultant who specialises in recurrent loss and she was amazing - really knew her stuff, and was on top of the current research. She explained why she thought this happened (it made sense at the time but I don’t think I could explain it now) but ultimately she gave me antibiotics before I conceived then prescribed me progesterone, steroids (low dose), blood thinners, high strength folic acid and aspirin (low dose from 7 weeks). Either she was right or it was a confidence but something worked!

I know how awful it is - I felt so lonely and sad but I spoke to lots of people on here that had been through the same who went on to have another baby. You might be able to find my thread (I can send you the link if it’s helpful).

*coincidence (can’t edit my post)

Hi thank you so much for taking the time to reply to the thread— it genuinely helps to hear a positive outcome after such similar losses. I'm so sorry you went through all of the trauma of losses and surgery too, but so happy that you got a the outcome in the end.

If you don’t mind, I’d really love the link to your thread if you can still find it. Knowing there was a clear treatment plan that worked for youis giving me a bit of hope that the same could happen for me.

Thank you again 💕

I’m so sorry you’re going through it too. It genuinely is awful so make sure you take the time to grieve. I hope you’ve got lots of support around you, and that you’re looking after yourself.

Here’s the link to my thread - lots of positive stories and some helpful advice. Don’t give up hope!

Oh and just to add, the consultant recommended 2 other helpful things - that we waited 2 cycles before ttc again and that both me and my DH took good quality multivitamins (folic acid helps improve sperm quality)!

This was me over the last three years. I feel for you. All the pain and misery, I was there not long ago. I'm an IVF'er, too, so all the medications messing with emotions. It's no fun, especially when work are about as helpful and understanding as a pig stuck in a catflap.

Please don't lose hope. Please keep trying. I've lost six pregnancies. In a row. I'd almost begun to accept that it wasn't going to happen. Then in June this year, I got a surprise BFP, I didn't think it would amount to anything and was expecting a big bleed to come. It never came. I'm now 19 weeks along.

I second PPs about fertility supplements. You both want to give your bodies the very best chance each cycle. I'll reiterate again; don't lose hope.

Good luck and best wishes xx

Firstly, I am so sorry for your losses. I’ve been there with the missed miscarriages and it was the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through, I really hope you have good support and people to talk to.

I had extensive testing following my second miscarriage and it turns out I had immune issues which are very common for losses between 6 and 8 weeks. I was recommended to take 600mg coq10, omega 3, vitamin D3, a prenatal and 75mg aspirin daily. I was also prescribed steroids in various forms and progesterone. I’m now 10 weeks pregnant and have had two successful scans. I’m not out of the danger zone yet, but it’s the furthest we’ve got and this pregnancy just feels very different. If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend listening to the episode on immunology with Professor Shehata on the Don’t Tell Me to Relax podcast.

Wishing you all the luck in the world, you will get there.

This is great advice - I took all those things with this pregnancy (and my 3 week old is now lying on me) so I’m convinced they helped.

I also found the hormone crash after going straight for surgical management of my second mmc was far far worse than when I had medical management with my first. So you’re probably going to be feeling awful - be kind to yourself.

I had two consecutive missed miscarriages in 2022 when I was TTC my second child (first child born in 2018). It was the darkest time of my life so I totally understood your sadness and frustration. I wasn’t offered anything on NHS so I went private to st Mary’s hospital recurrent miscarriage clinic and saw Dr Raj Rai. He has done a some blood tests and found that I carry PAI 1 4G/4G mutation ( don’t think this is a recognized condition under NHS). I then was advised to take LMWH, aspirin and methylate (due to another mutation). I got pregnant again in May 2023 and followed this protocol. My second baby was born perfectly the next year. I hope you get some answers from the tests and don’t give up hope! It’s a very difficult journey and I remember I was literally living in two alternatives when I was pregnant with my second child - too scared to believe it’s happening. Also, I hate private scans!

Hey OP
I know I'm a bit late to this post but didn't want to read and run.

I've had 3 miscarriages between 6 and 9 weeks. Had tests done in the recurrent loss clinic and nothing notable was found. But they did prescribe me progesterone to take from a positive test... we hadn't planned on trying again tbh but decided to give it one last go. Positive test at 3w6d and starting immediately taking the pessaries from that date until I was 16 weeks. And now I have an absolutely crazy 19 month old. I'm actually expecting again and petrified, I'm 6w but on pessaries again.
