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 Ladies,

I had a missed miscarriage (baby stopped growing at 10 weeks, when there was no heartbeat found during a normal 12-week ultra sound) and another bleeding and eventually D&C at approximately at 10 weeks. This was in 2009 and 2010.

After that, we went to a fertility clinic as the normal docs wouldn't do any tests until 3 miscarriages. At the fertility center, there were several tests done and all came out normal for both my partner and me. Though I might have low progestrone during mid-cycle, the doc said I could be given progestrone supplements and also baby aspirin to support the pregnancy /conception.

Now, they tried monitoring my cycle (for 6 cycles) in 2011 and I have not conceived. Strange. So, they suggested IuI. I went for an IuI last cycle (March 2012) and I did not conceive. Its all very strange and depressing for me that though I could conceive earlier, it resulted in miscarriage. Now I am not able to conceive with with cycle monitoring and IuI (1 attempt), despite normal test results.

Now my partner does not want to do an IuI or cycle monitoring anymore because he says anyway none of these assisted methods dont work, so lets try on our own. I am turning 30 and my partner tuns 34 (2012).

I am really worried what to do with the next cycles and how to conceive (leave alone worrying about m/c later).

Any pointers is really appreciated?

Cheers
Amada

I have had three babies after hard pregnancies, but have now suffered 2 miscarriages. One feb.13 and the next mar.27 I have suffered from many medical complications ever since my second pregnancy which had us waiting 7yrs. to have another. I was put on baby aspirin with that pregnancy since I was on bed rest for a lot of it, to keep from getting blog clots in my legs. Now with him being a yr. we thought we'd try again only to lose two pregnancies. My doc at the first m/c told me it was normal and to try again immediately. I got a cold while pregnant the next time and went to the docs for that, but started spotting that morning so discussed it with the doc. She said since I had been suffering morning sickness for a month already and with the added date of PPT she was thinking it was nothing and that I was either farther along than we figured (which wasn't possible) or carrying multiples since I have "over active ovaries". My husband clung to the thought of twins, but I knew something was off. Next day I started bleeding heavy and confirmed a m/c next day. I passed the baby three days later. I've been struggling with questions of why and hope to get answers from my ob/gyn in two weeks, who is in another town. I think it might be lupus since I've been "borderline" for a few years. Hopefully I'll get answers soon! I hope God has blessed you all with a small bundle to call your own by now and if not hopefully He will soon. I pray for all of you!

I have been looking for a site for this for years! I am so glad that I have found it and I pray that we all eventually have a baby to hold in our arms. I have have had one live birth in '06, mc in 2009 @ 12 weeks, mc in 2010 @ 5 weeks and mc in 2011 at 7 weeks. I am now 6 weeks pregnant again and am absolutely terrified to the point that I am having night terrors....I have been pescribed progesterone and am seeing a fertility specialist...getting confused though because obs reccommended taking asprin, while IVF specialist told me not to......my progesterone levels were 44 a month ago, had another progesterone test thrusday and am waiting to get results on monday. I am also having my first us monday and I am petrified......IVF specialist says there should be a stong hartbeat by then (going off of horemone levels and stage). I am so fearful that there is no joy in this us.....I don't know how I will survive seeing another baby die on the screen......I go from being excited one minute to thinking its all over.....all I can think about is the patterns. When I was pregnant with my son I had no discharge and no headaches, but with all of my miscarriages I had them, like clear mucus, and heaps of it. I went to the toilet tonight and found the same thing......has anyone else had this? recognised patterns like this???

I girls.... I feel for you!! I lost twins in 18 oct 2011 in week 18 and of some reason the doctor took bloodtest (they normally doesnt do anything before 3 misscarriage).Doctor find that I have high levels of anticardiolipin antibodies that probably have done bloodclots in the placenta that killed the babies. Please ask a doctor to search for these antibodies, it is common in women that have recurrent misscarriages!! Im now pregnant again in week 17 and I take lowdose aspirin 75mg/day and in week 20 i will start take heparin injections.... I dont know if it will work´... but please ask doctor to find these anticardiolipin antibodies and read about them on the internet! And continue to pray, pray and pray!

Such a helpfull website.  I thought I was alone in my situation but after reading I know I am not.  I suffered my 3rd misscarriage in a year.  My first was 4/20/11.  Went in for my 8.5 week check up and there was no hb.  Did a D&C the next week.   Got preg again in Sept and had problems from teh beggining.  Saw hb at 6.This time they sent the fetal tissue for testing. So we are wairting on resluts.  I am 30 and my husband is 36. So we are scared to death.  

But after reading that several people have had more miscarriages and then NEVER gave up and had healthy babies gives me HOPE for the first time since allthis has happened.  Thank you all so much for sharing your stories and I hope someday soon I get to come backand post my happy ending with all of you.
