Can anyone give me some hope!? 3 early losses back to back

Hi Emma, it is harsh to be going through this.
I have a (hopeful) success story for you, please don't lose hope.
After having 2 children without any experience of miscarriage, I had 4 miscarriages in a row in a year trying for number 3. Mine too were all in the first 6-7 weeks, and recurrent miscarriage clinic tests came back clear. I got pregnant in September after the last one in June, so my body had a few months to heal, and so far it's all going as it should. I'm almost 16 weeks, and all is looking good. Nobody really knows why it happened, the only thing they can think of is that I have an unfussy uterus..... maybe I did have a batch of bad eggs that implanted when the shouldn't have. Who knows....
keep going for as long as you can..... I'm sure it'll happen xxx

 

Hi hun.

I'm so sorry for your losses.

I have a son who has recently turned four. I'm currently pregnant but it was a tough journey to get here!

After I had my son, I suffered three consecutive losses the first a mmc at 6 weeks, the second a mmc at eight weeks and the third was a bit of a mystery all round really!

My husband and I were referred for recurrent miscarriage testing and all our results have come back clear and I'm now 22+5 with a baby girl.

I never dreamed we would reach this point and I'm still very anxious that things might still go wrong.

Fingers crossed that there's a rainbow in your future very soon

I had my third mc at the end of May and we were seen for the tests at the beginning of August. We took a break from May to August but my AF arrived around 3 days after our appointment so we started TTC again from then and that's how this lil lady bumpy came about!! I never dreamed we'd catch first cycle but it was obviously meant to be!!

We were just using withdrawal though, so didn't stop properly. We told our consultant and said we wanted to start TTC again and she said that's fine just call them as soon as I knew I was pregnant and they would arrange an early scan.

We weren't advised not to, just that we had to wait 8 weeks for the blood tests, so in order for them to do the tests we needed to not be pregnant. As it was, I was just pregnant when I had the tests but didn't know at the time.
I'm under Torbay hospital, found the staff at Epu very lovely. I live in the bay.

I also did a few things differently this time around. I cut out gluten and caffeine while ttc, and didn't have sex after I ovulated just in case the egg was lasting longer than it should. We also abstained from sex until after 12 weeks....who knows if any of it made a difference...

 

Yes deffo take pre natal vits, I had been on them mostly for the whole time, as recommendations say to take them for a few months before you start trying.
Good luck, hope it happens for you soon xx

 

Emma I've been through this too. Was trying for my 2nd with no problems conceiving my first.
I had 3 early losses between 4-6weeks one after the other. I then had a 4th loss at 8weeks and I'd got my hopes up with that one as I'd got further a long. It's soul destroying and so frustrating as it's hard to get your head round what went wrong.

I was referred to recurrent miscarriage testing and was told to carry on trying in the mean time. I did fall quickly again after the fourth loss and had another little boy on the 6th December so didn't even have my miscarriage appointment in the end. Try not to worry I know it's hard but I've read so many stories of miscarriages happening when ttcing after the first baby. I feel if a woman doesn't experience even 1 MC she is extremely lucky.

Ahh it's nice to see success stories, I'm also seeing a specialist for recurrent miscarriges. I've had 6 so far, currently preg with 7th, but I'm also cramping very badly and expecting this one to end soon to. I've lost mine around 8 weeks. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow with this one x

 

Aw p.butter, I keep dipping into the ttc/first tri forum to see how you are doing. I have everything crossed for you, you must be so fed up.
What's the next step for you if it is bad news Hun, has the recurrent miscarriage specialist suggested any ideas? I so, so hope it's just the bean getting comfy into a bruised uterus or something that's causing you the discomfort.
Sending hugs xxxxxx

Emma, I hope you get some answers soon too. I found Torbay quick with getting me into testing and the team really are lovely. I only moved here a year ago so hadn't had any dealings with them before, but I think they've been excellent.

Keep us posted xx

 

Yes I was scanned every 2 weeks from 6 weeks until the 12wk scan. I also saw a consultant due to the miscarriage history. The day assessment unit has said for me to call whenever I have any concerns, As they understand that I'm much more anxious!
Feel free to pm me anytime Hun

I had extra scans with this pregnancy- one at eight weeks, one at ten weeks and then it was the normal 12 + 20 week ones.

Emma, over 14 months it's all happened, been trying for 20.

By the sea, i haven't even seen the specialist yet! My gp fucked up and forgot to send letter to refer me in october.. so had to wait another 2 months, my first appointment is on the 18th Jan.
I've put myself on aspirin and progesterone pessaries this time, my gp said no but I'd probably miscarry anyway, so whats the harm, fk him. Cramping so badly today though. x

Emma, have you tested anymore? X
