So many losses

Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after a preterm premature rupture of membranes?   I have been pregnant 5 times and lost all pregnancies.  All of them were early around 8-12 weeks, however one was a stillbirth at 20 weeks.  My water broke at 18 weeks and i went into labor two weeks later.  I have had testing and nothing can be found to explain all these complications.  My husband and I are very eager to get our family growing.  Emotionally I can handle still trying, just hoping for a different outcome.  I am just wondering if there is anyone out there who has had a good pregnancy after so many losses.      
Thanks for taking the time to stop and read this.

Yes. I didn't have a full rupture but I sprung a leak at 7 mos with my 3rd baby. She was fine and I was too. My ob tells me every pg is different and sometimes fluke things happen during pg my new saying in regards to being pregnant anything goes. I wish you the best and good luck......

First, I am for want to say how sorry am for our losses. Like you, I miscarried my son at 18 weeks of preterm premature rupture of membranes, and like you, the doctors were unable to give me answers except for my age, I am 37 and that that could have played a role.  Were all your losses due to PPROM? I am currently ttc again but I am planning to have my cervix stiched, the doctors are planning to run some test first by I advised my doctor that I want it  done (just in case). You might want to talk to your doctor ab that as a possibilty.Good luck, and dont give up : )
