I have had 3 children, with the youngest being 5. I got pregnant in June and m/c'd in Aug. Now that I'm trying, it doesn't seem to be happening...so I was doing some research on endo and came across this site where I found this.
Endometriosis, this can double the chances of miscarriage.
Small fibroids may increase miscarriage risk;
According to early findings from a pilot study done by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, America, it appears the presence of fibroids is uniformly associated with and may increase miscarriage. (Fibroids are benign muscle tumours of the uterus.) It's estimated they affect more than one in five women of reproductive age, and early results indicate that women with small fibroids (more so than larger fibroids) have a 55% increased risk of pregnancy loss.
I thought that since I had a small fibroid when I got pregnant that it was no big deal. I know that the odds are against me in getting pregnant....but I had no clue that if I did, I would have such a high chance of m/c again. After reading this it just made me feel kind of defeated. Does anyone else have any experience in getting pregnant with these issues?
