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

Hello,
Not sure why it's comforting to know others have gone through similar madness as me...I wouldn't wish multiple miscarriages on anyone so that isn't it but reading these posts I realize...it's not just me and it doesn't make sense but it happens and somehow I think that is helping me tonight on my road to acceptance. I am 43 was married for the 1st time at 40, got pregnant within 3 months - ectopic, got pregnant #2 a year later - miscarried at 6 weeks, got pregnant 1 month later after one period #3  put on progesterone - miscarried somewhere between 16 and 18 weeks -my little guy had trisomy 21.  18 months later - surprise at 43 - pregnancy #4 - I'm now on baby aspirin year round due to antiphosolipid coagulant syndrome but live in France and was with a new dr and forgot to mention the progesterone...maybe it wouldn't have mattered....miscarried again at 6 weeks before I could even get through the busy lines at the hospital to ask the doc to prescribe progesterone.  Anyway, I'm changing doctors but think I may be pregnant again even before having a period...I have to go for a follow-up to my miscarriage HCG so I will no if my numbers have gone up instead of down in a week (they were 23 last time).  Anyway, I don't have any good news. I've not yet had a successful pregnancy but as you see here...it does happen to some so keep your chin up.  I now know to really accept that just cause you've lost 4 pregnancies it doesn't mean that God will or is obliged to carry your next one through to term.  It's something I'll never understand this side of heaven. I'll keep you posted.  Oh blood doc says if I fall pregnant again then I'll be on lovenox too.

Just wanted to update you all.  I went into early labor on April 20th when my water bag ruptured.  Was on hospital bed rest until April 29th when I gave birth via Emergency C section to a 2 pound 4 oz baby girl.  After 6 weeks in the NICU I am proud to say she is finally home and doing great!  After 8 losses I finally did it!!  Please keep the faith that it will happen.  Never give up.  If I had thrown in the towel years ago our little baby Livie wouldn't be here today.

Just been reading all the posts....while wondering if my 6th  miscarriage is going to happen or not. Two days short of 6wks pregnant now. My first pregnancy 7 yrs ago ended with a trisomy 13 baby girl stillborn at 22wks. Had all the other miscarriages in the years since then....  suspecting my hubby and I have some sort of chromosome issue. Other miscarriages have been around 6wks....one at 7wks from an IVF cycle. Unfortunately am 42 yrs old now...racing against the clock. Will keep trying. Your story is amazing....and am wondering if your pregnancy is almost to full term now? My heart breaks for all the women out there who are struggling to carry a baby to full term...I am sorry and I have no answers. Keep trying if you can.....don't let the fear outweigh your desire to be a mother. love and light and peace to you all.

I'm so sorry but please know there is hope.  Keep believing and hoping.  I did a lot of praying and still do.  Yes we did do some things differently this time.  My doc had us do a viral protocol to get my body back in check and balanced.  (this is something my RE does with his patients) It's a bunch of different meds/vitmains taken for 6-8 weeks followed by a bee sting.  Then once I got pregnant we did an intra-lipd treatment 4 times in the first trimester.  LIterally a bag of fat given via IV.  He has had great success with his mmc patients.  I am now 21 weeks pregnant. Don't give up.  I know it's hard.  I've been there.  I have felt so broken and hit bottom but somehow I kept pulling myself back up and trying again.  Bes tof luck to you and sending you many hugs.
