Hi Carla

I am sorry to hear about your miscarriages.  I had 4 miscarriages after the birth of my first son who was born in 96.  My last miscarriage was in February 2000.  The doctor booked me in to have an exploratory.  However just to give you some hope by the time the appointment came round that June I had fallen pregnant in the May and gave birth to our lovely daughter the following year.  At that time I found out I was pregnant again though, I did feel like doing a handstand against the wall and not getting out of bed for the first three months for fear of losing another baby.  It is so devastating and I didn't find the medical profession at all sympathetic.

I never have had the exploratory and have sucessfully now given birth to our third child last year, we are now trying for our fourth (we must need our brains testing!!!) to complete our family.

Please do not give up hope, and if you at all worried and deep down feel there is something wrong, book in to see your doctor and ask for an exploratory.

Good luck and hope all goes well

Thank you so much for your story it gives me hope. We to want to have four children but i think my husband will take a little convinceing next time. Both of my miscarriages i bled really bad and had lots of clotting so i ended up having a D&C both times i think it really scared him. But i just feel like there's still a few more babies in there and i just have to keep faith that next time we will have a beautiful baby after 9 months.

Thanks Carla keep in touch.

hi,
I too want to say sorry for you losses....i know exactly how you u feel. I have 3 beautiful kids. Last dec. i had a miscarriage at 12 weeks followed by a d&c, then in March of this year had another miscarriage. It was a very devastating time for me, i spent alot of the time angry but then i started to heal. I found out that i got pregnant 2 weeks after my last miscarriage and i am noy 18 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Everything has went great, the only thing is i had to be put on Prog. suppl. as soon as i got pregnant again and was on them till i reached 12 weeks. I can even feel him or her move and it is awesome. So to answer you question....yes it is possible and happens all the time. I want to wish you the best and i will be thinking of you. Please know you are not alone and i would like to be updated on you story as i feel all of us on here would. Best of luck to you.

I am so sorry for your loss and you are not alone.  I had my DD in 1998 and in 2003 had a m/c and 3 months later got pg again and held onto this one.  I have a wonderful one year old little boy and my 7 yr old little girl and I am done (hopefully - all depends on what God has planned for me LOL) You have 2 already so it means you CAN get pg and that is a good thing.  I don't know why you would have 2 losses after having 2 babies already but if you get pg again they should really watch you closely.  It may have just been a fluke thing.  I feel everything happens for a reason and maybe God had different plans for you at the time.  It'll happen when the time is just right.  Hang in there and the best of luck to you.

I am very sorry for your loss. But to comfort you, I also had one healthy pregnancy and delivery she is now 7. After her I had 2 miscarriages. I got pregnant only like 2 months after the last miscarriage and he is now 4 almost 5 and then had another one who is 3 almost 4!! So yes it can happen!! And I will pray for you!! God bless!

Hi. I'm sorry you had to go through this. BUT! Someone I know had a son, then 2 miscarriages in one year, then had a healthy daughter. I have read that when we ovulate we sometimes kick out "bad eggs" and they are rejected by our body. Then you get a good one and all is well. This is oversimplified, but I hope it helps. Good luck to you.

I have had 2 m/c not in the same year though. DH and I have not used protection for many years (7 or a little more), I gota BFP about 2 years ago in the summer and had a m/c about 8-10 weeks in then last Sept. got another BFP and was already almost 2 months because I really didn't know what was going on and NEVER thought my symptoms were due to a BABY ! My Baby Boy died in utero at 18.4 weeks but We didn't find out until our scheduled u/s at alomst 21 weeks... that was Dec.22 Marry Christmas to Me. I was crushed and didn't really want to try again at all. DH kept asking and asking me to TTC again so in March ( His BDay month I said that he can try again but I want nothing to do with it. I got him my most fertile days wrote them down and said "It's all up to you". I truly made myself forget the days cause I really was afraid of trying. Well when I didn't get my friend when I supposed to I waited about 2 weeks till I couldn't wait anymore and got another BFP and cried. Wel we are currently 29 weeks along with a healthy baby boy ( as the doc. keeps asuringme). So maybe it realy does have something to do with just relaxing and enjoying the moment. Good luck.

I too had two miscarriages in one year. One in 9/04 and 9/05 and I know what you are going through. I am now going through the process of blood work and a test called (sis) to check out things to make sure that nothing is physically wrong before trying again. My doctor told me that it's probably just bad luck and she see this happen to alot of women who go on to have normal deliveries after miscarriages. So keep your faith up because I sure am and I wish you much luck. I would like to know from the person who responded to your question by the name
pmom" how did your doctor find out you needed prog supp. I questioned my doctor if I needed a prog. supp my next pregnancy.

[dandeelyon]

They do a blood test.  As soon as you find out your pregnant, request a blood test to find out your progesterone levels.  With my son, I started out at 5 which is terrible.  Fortunately I was able to carry him to term.  So there is hope if yours is low.

I too have had two miscarriages in the last year.  I just had a d&c on Sept 2nd.  I though I was 13 weeks, the babies heart quit at 11 wks 4 days.  The one previous to that was a twins, one being a partial molar.  They did genetics and blood tests and everything was "ok" so we have the clear to proceed.  My husband and I are still debating if we want to go through this again.  We have two healthy children, 3 and 7.  We're giving it time.

Good luck to you,

Heather

I had 2 miscarriage sin a row last year, and it was SO confusing and scary because I have a healthy 2 year old and a healthy 3 year old. What went wrong? However, I became pregnant 2 weeks after my last miscarriage and am now 4 weeks away from giving birth. Good luck!

[mimik]

I had a MC in Feb 04, another one in May 04 and a healthy baby girl born April 27th 2005....Good luck, keep your head up!!

[boycrazy]

Sorry to hear of your miscarriages.  It is never easy - we all know here and that is why we support eachother so much.  For me, I had three healthy babies and then a miscarriage in Feb 05 and a chemical in May 05, only to go on and be 15 weeks currently with my fourth child (all seems well).  All I can say is try not to worry to much, you really have no control over the situation.  It is in God's hands and he has a plan for you as he did me.  I know it can be frustrating, but if you let it go you may be pleasantly surprised with the results.  You will continue to morn the loss of what could have been, I think of the baby I lost in Feb and wonder what life would have been like, but then reality sets in and I know God will not give me more than I can handle and at that time it was not right for us.  I too thought, I would not have anymore and had set myself a deadline to continue or not continue to ttc (Dec 05) and here we are.  I wish you well and hope that your dreams of having four children come true, but if they don't remember there is a reason.  Take Care, lots of baby dust and hugs!!!

i had a normal healthy girl when i was 18 yrs old i am now 23 and i have lost 4 in a row all last year 2 m/c and two had mks and were dying.
i know how you must feel i've done it once why is there suddenly a problem. I was told m/c happen in 1in5 and i was just really unlucky and mks happens 1 in 4 so again i was really unlucky.
The trick is to as i have now had to is to shut your feeling off from any possible preggy thoughts, the more you think about it the more you worry and the greater the chance of a m/c
My cousin had 1 norm 6 m/c and another norm.
i wish i could help you more just try to think positive you can get preggy the next steps keeping it going:) i wish you all the luck in the world with future pg's.

Hi Carla,

The same thing happened to me. After 2 beautiful girls and healthy pregnancies, I had 2 miscarriages in a row. So, i waited 3 months while taking materna and i bought the maybe baby microscope (tells when you are ovulating).So, my husband and i only had sex on the days i was ovulating, and it worked, got pregnant and had my son 9 months later. Good luck!

[Huunya]

Hi there.  I have a healthy 16 month old son.  I had a normal, healthy and easy pregnancy.  I was on cloud nine because everything went so well.  I got pregnant on our first try too.  When he turned 1 in June, we started trying again.  I took a million pregnancy tests, all negative, and just thought I would be like everyone else and not get pg on the first try again.  I got my period the day I should have and moved on.  1 week later, I started bleeding again w/heavy cramping.  Called the doc, took a pg test and it was positive.  I was miscarrying.  We tried the next month and nothing.  Tried the second month and success.  I took the test the day I should have gotten my period and was negative.  3 days later and still nothing so took another pg test only for it to turn up positive.  Cautious, but excited, I went the next day for my blood levels.  2 days after positve test, I started bleeding again.  I go back to the doc in 2 weeks, I guess to discuss our next step.  I'm confused as to why this would happen.  I'm concerned that it's chromosomal factors and not an easier fix like progesterone, chlomid or baby aspirin.  I left a message today to see if I should be doing chromosomal testing while I'm waiting to go back to the doc.  I'm nervous, nervous, nervous because I feel we waited too long to start trying.  I turn 34 in 2 weeks and really hope that I'm able to have a healthy baby girl before I turn 35.  My chances go way down after 35 plus the fact that I had 2 consecutive miscarriages.  I'm happy to read all the happy ending stories, but am still worrying like crazy.  I'm just happy I have my son, the love of my life, to fall back on during this trying time.

the doc keeps saying im fine, just try again.  said if i want to start taking tests to see if somethings wrong, i could.  im so scared i'll miscarry again.  

[debbie8]

[FSEVEN]

I have 5 beautiful blessings.  4 boys & 1 princess!  My husband & I found out last year in September of 2007 that we were expecting another blessing, but unfortunately miscarried.  I was very sad, but thought to myself that there are tons of other couples who are trying to just have "1" & I should be "GRATEFUL" for the wonderful children that we have already.  So I moved on w/tons of positive thoughts & we were expecting again....found out on the 22nd. of Decmeber.  We were thrilled, but miscarried yesterday Jan. 22nd. & I thought we would be devastated, but I have a lot of Faith & Hope that everything is going to be alright.  We are going to try again.  Is there anyone who comes close to our situation that could share their story on this board?  Our children's ages -1st. son-7 yrs. old, 2nd son-4yrs. old, 3rd. son-3 yrs. old, 4th. child-only girl-1 yr. old, 5th. child-4th. boy-8 months old!

[Zanes_Mommy]

I am sorry to hear of everyone's losses.  I have two beautiful children almost 7 years apart.  perfect pregnancies.  From Jan. 2005 - Jan.2006 I had 3 m/c.  Got on birth control, thought we'd wait awhile.  Got pregnant again July 2007.  Thought everything was going to be fine.  Found out we were having a boy.  We were so excited.  Then, in Dec. I was 22.5 weeks pregnant and found out there was no fluid around our son.  He was born 1 week later and he lived for 2 hours.  Its been a devasting loss for us. I want to try again, unfortunately my husband does not.  He thinks we should be grateful for the 2 we have.  I do have a few blood disorders which could have caused all this.  They did test my placenta and it had chromosomal abnormalities.  I just turned 31.  Dr's don't think this would happen again, but of course we are skeptical.  best wishes to all.

[DSYBAHENA]

I had a misscariage in Feb. 2007 which ended in a D&C. I was about 4 months I believe. Then I got pregnant again in June and misscaried in July 2007. Then in September 07 got pregnant again and now I am 5 months pregnant so far everything seems to be going well.

[amylou2]

Hi.  I really appreciate all of the positive stories that people write.  Especially when a person is searching to find answers and if what they are going through is possibly "normal".  I recently had a natural miscarriage on Dec1-3, yes sometimes it takes a period of 2-3 days to expell everything and I was 11 weeks.  I knew that I was going to lose the baby at 8 weeks during the ultrasound.  I find myself searching for hope again as I am 8 weeks and the doctor hasn't found any signs that this is a viable pregnancy either.  It is making me sick.  I have had two healthy children ages 3 and 19months.  I just thought the odds were against us the second time.  My cousin has had 2 miscarriages and was put on clomid, and she recently had a healthy baby boy so I know that there is hope out there.  

[charlie220]

sorry to hear all your loses i gave birth to a sexy lil man 7 months ago and on the 27th dec 07 found out i was pg again at 7 weeks i lost my baby i was heartbroken then i found out i had fell preg again after a week off losing the first baby i was exctied but scared and my fears came true at 7 weeks 11/03/08 i lost my baby i had a scan that morning and everything was fine their was a little blood but they said it was fine and at 2 clock that day the baby came out am so scared to even think of ever trying again ive still got a clot inside the hoping it will pass by its self i was meant to get married in sept 08 but we bought it forward because off me not being able to get in my dress but now their is no baby am so heartbroken

[Canelagrl12]

I'm sitting at my desk reading all of this and in tears. I have a healthy beautiful 5 year old daughter and I married recently in September and my husband has 2 children as well. We planned to immediately have our own baby and I stopped using the Nuvaring in October 2007. I got a positve pregnancy test December 24th 2007. I miscarried January 4; I was 6 weeks pregnant. I got another positive pregnancy test Valentines day and micarried March 28th 2008. Both pregnancies lasted  6 weeks and the second time around I actually started buying the baby clothes and mentally preparing the baby registry. My Ob suggested we get genetics counseling because we have both had healthy children previously, but I cant bring myself to do it. Still very heartbroken and I dont even want to talk about it..Today something told me to do an internet search and see if this is normal. I'm only 28 and I don't smoke or drink. I cant understand.... here I am sharing my story and praying for the strength to try it once again.

[honey418]

Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories, was beging to feel like I was the only one this was happening to.  I had my first miscarrige 8 yrs ago then went on to have a beautiful son who's almost 8. We had a miscarrige in Feb at 10wks and again in April at 8wks, Doc doesnt think theres a prob because I had a baby inbetween but I'm scared to try again but at the same time long for another baby, worried also that I'm 36 so age could be against me.  Good luck to everyone and thanks again for sharing your stories they have been a great help.x

[chooch181]

I have 3 children to a previous marriage and now with my husband that doesnt have any children. I just recently had my 4 m/s ina a row. I have had test and nothing came up besides a little tear in my uterus doc said nothing to be concerned about. I never heard of taking aspirin. Doc never mentioned anything to me about meds. Should I start taking aspirin?

[Edwardsgirl]

I have 2 girls, 7 and 4. After 2 years of pleading with my husband for a 3rd and last I got pregnant in February 08. I had a missed miscarriage in March I was 6 weeks 4 days. He assured me not to worry that we'd do it again and I do get preggo very quickly. We were pregnant again in May and I saw my little baby with no heart beat in July, I was 9 weeks. My doc has recommended blood tests that I am scheduled to do at the end of the month, but said it doesn't really matter if I do the tests because the 2 biggest causes are a blood clotting problem and low progesterone levels. He gave me a prescription for progesterone and told me to take a baby asprin everyday in case of a blood clotting probelm. Also he told me to take folic acid supplements in addition to a prenantal vitamen. Between all those he said I'm covered and I won't have any problems next time. Problem is hubbie doesn't want to do it again because of the economy, etc. But hopefully this info helps! Good luck! Oh I want one soooooo bad:)

[h769]

Hi, I am at the moment really down, i have Three great children my younger son is now 3 years old but since i have had him i am having real bad luck.

I have  now had 4 miscarriages, the hospital isn't really supportive, in fact they can't believe i want a fourth!

I don't know what the best option is for me, i want a fourth but get so hurt, i really thought this baby was going to happen, what can i do???

[eljibob]

Hi, Why is it nobody explains what a blow it is when you loose your baby? Nobody can understand unless they have been there I guess.
I have a beautiful daughter who's 7, from a previous relationship.  I desperatly want another with my current partner ( he has a much older daughter to previous relationship.)
I fell preg last April 08 after trying for 4 months.  We were overjoyed, but unfortunatly we last him/her at 5/6 weeks.  We have been trying since and I just found out I was pregnant only to be loosing again today, again at 5/6 weeks.  we are so totally, utterly deverstated and feel like it will never happen for us.  Nobody seems to understand the emotional pain that comes from a miscarriage.  I feel like I cant cope with it all sometimes but so want to have a child with my partner.
We have decided already that we will try again and hope that our Dr will carry out some tests to find out whats wrong.  I wish you ALL, all the luck in the world and myself too of course.

I currently have a beautiful 3 1/2 year old son. My husband and I tried having our 2nd child  in November 2008. I became pregnant only to lose it in January. There was no heartbeat and I had to undergo and D/C. I then became pregnant for the 2nd time in May 2009. I got to 13 weeks and had a traumatic miscarriage at home and then had to go to the hospital for an D/C. I am waiting for my doctors to okay the next level of testing. It has taken a while for me to talk (especially write about it).

My  best friend is currently 6 months pregnant and we were planning to raise our little babies together. I also had to throw her baby shower 2 weeks later. It was a bitter-sweet moment. I lover her to death and only wanted her to have the best for her first.  I also have a close friend who was having pregnancy complications but was able to hold on to her pregnancy. It has been a difficult journey for me (and my husband) but I try my best to educate myself about miscarriages and to converse with my friends and family about my situation. This topic is so not discussed out in the open and I try my best to keep it from being "the family secret" in my world. I send blessings to everyone and keep you in my prayers.

[jlnnardone]

I wanted to share my story. I have a lovely 4.5 year old little girl. My husband and I became pregnant in Feb of 09 and I lost the baby 4/09. I then became pregnant again in June of 09 and am in process of another miscarriage. I had an ultrasound yesterday she said there is a gestational sac but it doesn't look "normal" I have had some bleeding not really heavy and cramping. I just do not understand. I do remember being very ill with my daughter and with these last pregnancies barely any symptoms. I wonder if its my hormone levels? I asked the Dr yesterday and she says  I need to speak with a perinatologist sp? My heart hurts.....I am 29 years old and feel like maybe this is the end for me :(

[motherofson24]

It's been comforting to read everyone's stories and know there's hope. I have a 2 year old son and my pregnancy was healthy except he decided to come 4 weeks early but has been healthy since birth. My husband and I have had two miscarriages since. The hardest part is both my miscarriages were in my second trimester. First one at 16 weeks from placenta abruptio and our second one at 13 weeks. We are still waiting to hear why I miscarried with our last one. It was heartbreaking since my doctor even put me on prog. supplements and I'm only 24 and very healthy. I would like to try again soon but my husband wants to wait a few months. I can only hope someday I can come back on this blog and say I'm one of the Mom's who have gone on to have healthy pregnancies.

[rjh9304]

  I have a beautiful, happy, healthy 2.5 little boy.  My husband and I found out that we were pregnant in late Aug. 2009, after our first time trying for our second.  On Sept. 19 we lost the baby.  I was bleeding and cramping two days prior to my miscarriage.  I'm scared to try again, and am now scared that it seems a lot of people have had two miscarriages in a row.  I like to think positive, but really I'm terrified.  My doctor suggested on the day before my miscarriage that I may have a "lazy ovary" that isn't producing enough.  I was put on Prometrium to help support the pregnancy.  When we start trying again and I have a positive test she wants me to start this medicine immediatly.  Has anyone had any luck with this medicine.  I'm hoping that this is an easy fix and that my last pregnancy was too far gone for this medicine to help.  I also wanted to say that every one writing on this website are strong, determined woman!  It takes a lot to talk about traumatic experiences and no one is alone!

[bozemanbrooks]

In 2007 I went to the doctor because I hadn't had my period for 5 months.  She did all kinds of tests and everything came out normal.  So she put me on Prometrium, I took 200 mg for 10 days.  I had all kinds of symptoms, irritability, tender breast, nausea.  Once my cycle didn’t my mom told me to go get a pregnancy test and sure enough it was positive!  I freaked out, what have I done taking these pills.  I don’t care that I’m not having a monthly cycle, I just want to know why!  So then I did research to find out that women whom have had multiple miscarriage will take a lower dose.  I had a healthy baby girl October 2007.  October 2008 I had a miscarriage, the baby measured 8 weeks.  April 2009 I had another traumatic miscarriage.  I saw a strong heart beat at 7 weeks and also the day I miscarried. I was 12 weeks, my water broke and I had my baby in my hands.  That image will never leave my mind.  I am very nervous and also very anxious to get pregnant again.  I think my daughter is here today due to the prometrium.  I have decided to change doctors because I’m obviously not having any luck with the current doctor and hope to use prometrium and have a healthy pregnancy.  I see this post started a few years ago, Carla, did you have another healthy pregnancy?  

[Mickeys_Girl09]

Thank you ladies for all the posts... Your words, stories, sense of hope, and kindness keep me believing that one day my husband and I will have a healthy pregnancy.

To begin, I had my first miscarriage on Aug. 10, 2009- I was about 8 weeks pregnant with a blighted ovum.  Everyone told me, "Don't worry, this happens to many women during their first pregnancy.  Just keep trying and the next time it will work."  Unfortunately, it didn't.  We waited one cycle to begin trying again.  I was ecstatic to take a home pregnancy test to find that we were pregnant!  Two days later, I took another test and it read Not Pregnant.. later that night, i took another pregnancy test and it read Pregnant.  I was a bit confused and very nervous.  I called my Dr. for an apptment.  The day that i was to have blood work done I got my period.  This resulted in a chemical pregnancy.  So- two miscarriages in a row, and my husband and I are starting to feel a little disgruntled, hopeless, and confused.  My Dr. prescribed prometrium- we are hoping that this will help us to have a healthy pregnancy.  We shall see...  If not, then we will be going to a specialist for genetic testing and help.  I am 27 years old and never thought that getting pregnant was not this much of a challenge.  I remember as a teen being told that "it is soooooo easy to become pregnant, be careful." ... HA! It's like a mathematical equation with a pinch of miracle!  

So again, thanks for all your posts... And I hope that happiness, no matter what form it maybe, comes to ALL of you ... AND SOON :)
