Successful Pregnancy after Multiple Miscarriages?

Has anyone suffered multiple miscarriages and then gone on to have a successful pregnancy without having any tests or taking any meds?  I have had 2 miscarriages and my doctor refuses to do any testing until after the third loss.  He has also told me that he won't perscribe any progesterone, baby aspirin, etc until after a third loss because he still thinks that the 2 previous m/c could just be a fluke.  I am terrified to try again because I just feel like it will end in m/c and I am so angry at my doctor for not doing anything to help me...I can't even get a second opinion because I live in a small town with only one medical clinic.  I guess I am looking for success stories from women who have been in the same situationa and have gone on to have a successful pregnancy without any medical assistance.  Thanks ladies in Advance.

Hi All.... I too am going through my second miscarriage... 1st one in Jan 2013 where I never saw a heartbeat and had D&C at 8 weeks. This time we saw heartbeat at 6 weeks and again at 7w5d but during 10 weeks ultrasound, we were told that baby stopped growing at 8w2d. I am totally shattered and waiting for my blood test after I miscarry this one completely. This time I was given medicines instead of D&C to miscarry as my body didnt pass the baby on its own.... I am not sure what God has for me in my destiny

I always said if I had a successful pregnancy I would come back here and share because when I went through my two miscarriages I wanted to believe that someday I would have a successful pregnancy.  I am young and married and suffered two miscarriages each exactly a year apart after the second miscarriage we were beyond devastated as anyone that has had a second knows.  I got tons of blood work done that checked if there was something wrong all that came back was that I had Von willebrands disease which didn't add to my miscarriages but we needed to know this for labor and delivery.  For each pregnancy my hcg levels never went above a 170 and we never saw anything on ultrasound.  This pregnancy I'm five weeks and it's in the 7000's.  I took a test the day before and I immediately called my doctor that day she sent me for blood work and for progesterone levels my progesterone was border line low so I now take progesterone supplements twice a day.  I advise each and everyone of u to go to the doctor when finding out it might save your pregnancy!  Get all the tests done because truly now I know about my blood disorder and I could have bled to death if my pregnancies had been successful.  I know nothing can ever heal the pain and the devastation is beyond anything but truly find god and find hope.  Pray to him.  It was the best choice I made I prayed to him cried to him and bawled to him and my heart isn't as heavy and with this pregnancy I am not worried.  Pray and tell him what you want and also go to the doctors that he put here to help you.  Keep up your hope not all hope is lost after a second miscarriage I promise and I'm living proof of that :)

I tried a counselor and was told " it will happen" and I wanted to slap her! I hate hearing that. My husband and I are dealing ok...I do know how you feel! I feel like he will never understand the pain because it's not his body. We talk it out but still puts strain on the relationship!
On another note I decided to try one last time and had an IUI last week... Keeping my fingers crossed. I just want a baby!

don't loose faith ladies, i'm 32 and have had 13 mc 9 d&c and 2 live births and am currently 23 wks with my 3rd child...trust me after being told over and over that i could concieve but not carry to term and then after cancer treatment told i couldn't even concieve anymore and still got pregnant and carried to 32 wks my 6 yr old daughter it can be done.  it's called practicing medicine for a reason.  sometimes there is no medical explination and the doctors can be wrong and not know everything.  there are exceptions to the so called impossible.  my son i'm carrying now is post hysterectomy.  miracles happen, i'm living proof.

Last Month I had my 3rd miscarriage in a year and I had one before that about a year and a half ago. I have 2 healthy boys 6 and almost 5 both uneventful pregnancies. My first MC this year was at 8 wks and I had a D/C, my last 2 were at 5w5d and 5w4d, My doctor thinks it is Still "just bad luck" and "I'm still within the statistical norm." I feel like screaming!!!! I just want to know why! The only thin my doctor will test for is a clotting disorder called antiphosphlipid syndrome and I asked him to check my thyriod. Even thought it doesn't think its my thyriod, he just thinks "your 30." My last MC I was taking a baby aspirin and 200mg progesterone a day and it still didn't help. Any ideas anyone? I would love some advice...my heart is broken!

Hi I read your post. I am curious as to the cream you said you got. When did you start taking it and how does it work? I have 3 children all of the pregnancies were perfect and all by the same father. Still the same father however found out Jan 2012 I was pregnant. Saw heart beat of bbay at 6wks 1 day at 9 weeks went to doctor and they said baby stopped growning at 7 wks 3 days did not miscarry until 14 weeks along in March. Then June 10th went to er for bleeding...they said I had an ectopic pregnancy baby is great but in my tube. Terminated that pregnancy. Than pegnant again and miscarried at 5 wks 3 days Oct. 13th with my 3 baby that year. I recently Monday Jan. 21st found out I was pregnant excited yet nervous...did hcg level it was 27.7 doctor did another hcg level on Wed. and said that my level dropped to 23 and progestrone was 13. Miscarried at 4 wks about. So I am curious and eager for any answers/suggestions anyone has. We did all tests and everything came back great and now waiting on test for chromotype to come back. Can anyone help we were so happy for eager for another baby just to be shot down 4 times in 1 year.

I am 32yrs old and I have had 4 losses, I don't have any children. I had my first miscarriage in Aug '09, I had an ectopic in Feb '11, miscarried again in Dec '11 and another miscarriage in June '12. I've never made it past 7 1/2 weeks. I have had all the genetic and blooding clotting tests etc carried out in the pregnancy loss clinic and everything came back normal. I took baby aspirin during my last pregnancy. I am taking high dose folic acid at the moment and if I decide to become pregnant again the hospital will prescribe baby aspirin and progesterone. There is not a day goes by that I don't think about the babies that I have lost. It is not normal for anyone to have to go through such pain and devastation without explanation. I am nearly at the stage where I am thinking about giving up as I don't know if I am strong enough to go through the stress and pain of another pregnancy and loss. I have never had counselling and I am thinking maybe I should because I just can't seem to move on from the pain and loss. I am a healthy woman, I don't smoke or do drugs. I have an occasional drink when I'm out which isn't very often. I eat well and exercise. It is just so unfair. It has put a huge strain on my relationship with my partner as he just doesn't understand the pain I have gone through and sometimes I resent him for not feeling as bad as I do.

So sorry for your losses! I too have had 3 m/c, 1st 2 were @8wks & had d&c's. 3rd @ 5 wks. passed it on my own. My husband and I had the chromosome testing..normal. I just went & got bloodwork today to check my thyroid & glucose. The specialist said i have a 70-80% chance of a successful pregnancy. These answers still aren't enough. During the latest m/c  (oct. 2012) I did the progesterone capsules vaginally for only a week with no luck. It just seems to me there HAS to be answers for these losses. I'm thinking of adding more folic acid & the daily baby asprin to my prenatal vitamins. I have seen 3 different doctors & they all tell me the same thing, this is "normal". It's NOT normal when it happens to you. This is just devestating!! I understand how hurt & angry you are.

Sorry to everyone! I have had 3 miscarriages. The 1 st happened at 18 - 10 years ago and i did not think anything of it just that i was too young and it was not meant to be. i got married at 23 and My husband and I tried for 4 years to get pregnant and have spent thousands on pills, shots, and IUI. I finally got pregnant 4/3/12 ( naturally surprise surprise)and saw a strong heart beat at 8 weeks. Went in  at 12 weeks and no heart beat. My heart broke and I don't think I will ever be the same again. We were so happy and told everyone after we saw the heartbeat.. After my d&c everyone kept asking "how's the baby"  I wanted to curl up in a hole and die. My husband finally convinced me to try again.. We did IUI and got preggers.. Went in at 7 weeks, twins! Both were already dead. Two weeks ago I passed them naturally. Did some testing and doc says everything is perfect- my butt everything is perfect... 4 dead babies is not perfect! Don't know what to do now... I am 28 and very healthy but also sad and mad mad mad.

I am currently on my 2nd miscarriage.  1st was 6-12 at 9wks, followed by 1 chemical pregnancy, then this one 10-12 was 5 1/2 wks.  I have one happy healthy 2 yr old, my first pregnancy that was completely uneventful.  I've been reading these posts and they have been more helpful than you know.  I am a L&D nurse and have very few insights on early pregnancy loss, I normally care for patients over 20 weeks and understand stillbirths very well.  My problem is since I work closely with my doctor she generally lets me manage my own care, I have ordered all my own tests and everything seems normal.  She even ordered progesterone as a precaution for the last pregnancy and it didn't even last as long as the first one.  After having a successful pregnancy I am at a loss as to why this is happaning.

I too, have had two M/C. My first M/C happened so fast, that I wasnt really sure how far along I was...I just went to my first ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. Soon after that I was pregnant again! This time I tried my best to monitor things as best I could...I had quite a few ultrasounds that showed healthy heartbeats. Sadly enough...On my fourth ultrasound, there was, yet again, no heartbeat. My doctor had some basic testing done and everything came back normal. I was so crushed. I wanted answers. Now, four months later I am pregnant again. I just found out and I am only 5wks. Im trying to have faith in my growing little one...but I still get so nervous that I will M/C again. I would be heartbroken and I dont want to go through this again. Im suppose to see a high risk doctor...so I hope everything goes well...im just so nervous. I pray for all you! and hope to have my miracle baby with this pregnancy!

Just wanted to update everyone! At 28 weeks 4 days my water bag ruptured.  I was put on hospital bed rest until I gave birth via emergency C section on April 29th to a 2 pound 4 oz beautiful baby girl.  (she arrived 10 weeks early)  After a 6 week stay in the NICU she is finally home!  She is a true miracle!  Please keep the faith and don't give up.  After 7 years, 8 losses, and 1 adoption I finally did it!  Sometimes even miracles take a little time.  My 2 daughters are proof of that!  I am so blessed!!

Trying to keep my mind off it....but found myself reading the posts here....makes me feel better in a way.... but wish I had the skills to just get on with my day and let be what will be.

Your post is interesting to me. I had a trisomy 13 pregnancy failure at 22wks and many early miscarriages since then about 6 i think. Genetic advice/testing sounds expensive. I would love to know if chromosome glitches are the reason we keep miscarrying! My instinct tells me it is...but I will probably never find out.  All there is left to do is keep trying. we might get lucky...we might not....only the universe knows..as frustrating as that is.
