Anyone have 6 miscarriages and had a successful pregnancy?

[cagrlasu]

I found out yesterday I am having my 6th miscarriage and they are going to do a D&C sometime next week but we aren’t sure when.  They have to wait for the Lovenox to get out of my system before they can operate.  (

Has anyone had 6 losses and gone on to have a successful pregnancy?

I have Factor Leiden V, MTHFR, and elevated FSH.  If this baby comes back as abnormal I will do IVF with donor eggs.  If the baby comes back normal I have no clue what to do.



Losses:

1st: Aug 2006 Blighted Ovum (passed on my own)

2nd: Jan 26th Blighted Ovum (D&C)

3rd: Oct 2007 (missed miscarriage after seeing heartbeat) had D&C

4th: Dec 2008: spontatnous m/c (passed on my own)

5th: May 2009: chemical pregnancy

6th: Oct 2009: Missed miscarriage (saw heartbeat at 6 weeks 3 days)

I didn’t tell anyone I was pregnant.  It was a complete surprise and when I found out I just wanted to wait and see if this one would stick. Only my parents knew about this pregnancy and a few close friends. We saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks 3 days.  Yesterday I went back for a routine follow up ultrasound at 8 weeks 5 days and found out the baby died a week and ½ ago.  So this is my 6th miscarriage and my 2nd missed miscarriage as I didn’t have any symptoms to indicate anything was wrong.  (and I still don’t)  I should know more on Monday when they are going to schedule me for surgery.  



This will be my 3rd D&C so I pretty much know what to expect afterwards. So tired of this ****.  Why do I keep getting pregnant if I can’t carry at least one to term?  



I just don't understand why this keeps happening. 6 pregnancies 0 live births. Why do I keep getting pregnant if I can't keep them. It’s so unfair :(  I'm so tired of this emotional roller coaster. I'm nauseas right now too. that's the worst part. I still feel pregnant and the baby has been dead for almost 2 weeks :(  It such a horrible feeling.  I'm so tired of letting DH and my parents down. So glad I didn't tell many people.

My DH and I just adopted our daughter in July.  I'm so thankful I have her.  She makes this loss easier to handle


BTW: DH means Dear Husband

hi,
i'm in same sort of position as you, i,ve just had my 4th miscarriage this year
losses in april, july, september and fell pregnant without a period after miscarriage on 29th september. been  told its to do with chromosones being abnormal , the longest pregnancy was 6weeks although pregnancy had gone before that. have appointment in november at hosp to see why this keeps happening especially as i've had 3 healthy pregnancies but just want that last try for a little girl after 3 boys.
wish you luck

I have not, but my supervisor at work had 8 before she had her little girl.  It is possible.  I'm very sorry for your losses.  I don't know what else to say.  My heart is breaking for you.  I'm terribly sorry, once again.

I learned today that I am also having my 6th m/c.  This one was a total surprise as we had not been trying.  I was really sick this time around, have not been that sick with the others.  I had an ultrasound at 7 1/2 weeks that was fine, today there was a sac but no baby, would be 10 weeks tomorrow.   I have been diagnosed with PAI but Lovanox was supposed to take care of that.  I am so depressed.  I really thought this one was the one.  I also have still been sick, just not like I was a few weeks ago.  I also have had 0 births.  Thank God for my daughter that we adopted 4 yrs ago and just got alittle boy 3 months ago that we are also hoping to adopt.  My heart goes out to you!

These are heartbreaking, devastating situations.

What kinds of specialists have you been to, to investigate the causes of multiple, repeated miscarriages?

I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

[prayinlady]

I totally understand what you are going through.  The end of September I lost my baby at 16 weeks 5 day.  It was a boy.  This was especially hard because we have had 5 previous miscarriages with no real explanation as to WHY this was happening.  This pregnancy my doctor put me on progesterone shots that hurt like hell, but I endured once a week.  Normally I miscarry before 10 weeks, never getting out of the first trimester.  All was well and one morning I lost my water.  So now along with having the first trimester problem I now have found I have a incompetent cervix.  I'm going to try again, but its hard.  I know it hurts like heck but just pray for the strength to do just that. Love to you all--

I know someone who had about 5 miscarriages and then went on to have a healthy pregnancy.

Try to keep your hopes up and good luck.
