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

Thank you so much for writing and giving me some hope. I have tears in my eyes right now. I really appreciate it :)  You are proof that it is possible. :)

I just found out that my husband has a family history of MTHFR.  We are now 62, we have been married for 42 years.  I had numberous pregnancies that all but one ended in misscarriage.  I really lost count of how may times it happened, because most of the time it was really early.  It was not until in the late 70's that you could take a home preg test.  Why that one pregnancy ended in a baby I can not say, but I know I had three more after he was born.  We too adopted our oldest son, but after John and I were married 14 years we had Dylan.  Good luck to you.

I know someone who had about 5 miscarriages and then went on to have a healthy pregnancy.

Try to keep your hopes up and good luck.

I totally understand what you are going through.  The end of September I lost my baby at 16 weeks 5 day.  It was a boy.  This was especially hard because we have had 5 previous miscarriages with no real explanation as to WHY this was happening.  This pregnancy my doctor put me on progesterone shots that hurt like hell, but I endured once a week.  Normally I miscarry before 10 weeks, never getting out of the first trimester.  All was well and one morning I lost my water.  So now along with having the first trimester problem I now have found I have a incompetent cervix.  I'm going to try again, but its hard.  I know it hurts like heck but just pray for the strength to do just that. Love to you all--

These are heartbreaking, devastating situations.

What kinds of specialists have you been to, to investigate the causes of multiple, repeated miscarriages?

I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

I learned today that I am also having my 6th m/c.  This one was a total surprise as we had not been trying.  I was really sick this time around, have not been that sick with the others.  I had an ultrasound at 7 1/2 weeks that was fine, today there was a sac but no baby, would be 10 weeks tomorrow.   I have been diagnosed with PAI but Lovanox was supposed to take care of that.  I am so depressed.  I really thought this one was the one.  I also have still been sick, just not like I was a few weeks ago.  I also have had 0 births.  Thank God for my daughter that we adopted 4 yrs ago and just got alittle boy 3 months ago that we are also hoping to adopt.  My heart goes out to you!
