Going to term after recurrent miscarriage
I was just wondering if there's anyone on here that's had 3 or more m/c's and got pregnant and went full term with no medical assistance. As in, no supplements, IVF, IUI or anything like that. If so, can you please tell me your story if its not too hard. I'm currently approx 4 weeks pregnant after 3 or 4 recurrent m/c's (depends on what dr you ask) before all the m/c's I had a very uneventful pregnancy and gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby. I have a much better feeling about this one. I've gone for several tests and everything so far has come back normal.
Hi Amy. Although I have had 3 m/c, I do know women on here who have had recurrent m/c's and then went on to have healthy babies naturally. that's why I keep trying after my 3 losses. Congratulations on this pregnancy and I really hope you have a little sticky bean in there. I think your having a good feeling is a positive sign.
This pregnancy just reminds me so much of the feeling I had with my son. If you look @ my pics too, I got a strong positive 14DPO and didn't even use FMU. With all my m/c's my tests were extremely light positives for a while. Meaning my hCG wasn't very strong
My last 2 m/c I didn't have very strong positives either. My hcg never got above 2500 on my last two. So a good strong positive at 14DPO is definitely a good sign. Best of luck with this pregnancy and hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.
Wow my hCG never got above 500 with my m/c's. I'm cramping a bit now and its scaring the crap outta me.
I had 3 m/c last year & I am 19 weeks 2 days today. I had tests done after the 3rd m/c, they all came back "normal". Dr thinks just bad luck with those 3. With this pregnancy starting at 15 weeks I started weekly injections of progesterone to help me make it to term. I have a 10yr old son who was born at 33 weeks so with him coming early & the miscarriages my OB thinks the shots will help me make it to term. So far so good! I had my cervix checked too & that tends to be a problem with recurrent 2nd trimester m/c but mine so far is fine. I'm not considered high risk or anything & so far everything is great. I also have PCOS.
I haven't seen a Dr yet but, I'm soo scared. And I can't seem to enjoy this pregnancy for 1 minute
It took me awhile too enjoy mine too. When I got to hear the heartbeat the 1st time & see her was when I finally relaxed. Good luck.
I think that's when I'll be able to relax as with all the others, I never got the chance to see or hear the HB so, hoping or the best
I didn't either with my miscarriages. With this one as soon as I saw & heard I relaxed.....some. I still look for blood everytime I wipe, my hubby & I even limit sex cuz we don't wanna trigger anything. I'm definitely more cautious but I'm not letting "what if" run my life like I let it the last time I was prego & still lost my baby.
I still haven't bought anything yet for my baby afraid to jinx myself. ;)

I'm always checking in the bathroom too, it drives me nuts. And we are also not having sex right now, not til I know we're okay. I'm trying not to get too excited cause the higher you are the harder you fall. If the worst were to happen it would be my second Christmas in a row dealing with that heartache :(
Yes I had 3 miscarriages then a healthy baby boy. Then an other miscarriage.
My miscarriages were different:
1st: FIV - miscarried quite quickly
2nd: bligthed ovum
3rd: twin (naturally conceived), lost both of them at 7 and 8 weeks
Baby boy, naturally conceived, he is 18 months old now.
4th: one baby recently lost at 11 weeks, she had trisomy 18
You are very young, you will get a baby! In my case, age is a big factor for my miscarriages, I am now 43, not much hope to have an other healthy baby.

I am so sorry for your losses.. I know how much it hurts..
I have one healthy 2 yr old. perfect pregnancy if I may say so myself other then him being breech..
The miscarriages I had were all soo similar. happened within a week or wo finding out. never made it past 6 weeks.. hCG always started out low and then I would start to bleed.. I only required 1 D&C but that was a very complicated situation. I had a miscarriage in Sept.. Dr's never followed my levels back down and I assumed that was normal (my first m/c) so, 3 weeks later I had a pos preg test.. Doc sent me for hCG levels and it was 224 so she automatically said it was a new pregnancy and booked me for an u/s for 2 months later.. My DF and I went to the ultrasound under the assumption we were going to be meeting our new baby.. well, all the tech saw was a mass of tissue.. they then gave me the procedure and said it was a molar pregnancy and the tissue tested positive for cancer..
4 other OB's I have spoken to said they do NOT believe it was a second pregnancy they all think it was an incomplete miscarriage from Sept. I then went through a lot of tests to make sure I didn't have cancer and all went well..
I know they say symptoms do not indicate a viable pregnancy but, with all my m/c's they were always weak and never lasted long.. This time, I'm getting slammed with symptoms and they just seem to be getting stronger. I can't help but to become a little bit excited.. I'd say one more week and it's the farthest I've gone iin the last 4 pregnancies.
All I can do is, keep praying and hope this is my sticky bean.. sorry for such a long post just wanted to give a bit of my history

No that's awesome. With this pregnancy compared with the ones I miscarried I just felt good with this one. The others there was something wrong right from the get go. Even my friends told me that I just "looked" healthier, at the beginning on this one than the others, despite the stronger pregnancy symptoms. I thinking happy thoughts for you & send you prayers. Take care of yourself & keep me updated in how you're doing.
I'm in the same boat as Ecologic. I had 5 losses, 2 of them requiring D&C's, then a healthy baby boy who is now 22 months old. I have had 3 losses since him, but as still trying. Lots of us have more then one loss then healthy pregnancies. It's hard to not worry, but just try to take it day by day. It sounds like things are going well so far! Great news!!
Well, if I'm correct on dates... I should be about 6 weeks now. I'm scared to go to the Dr though. As long as everything is okay, I might wait til after Christmas. I don't want to be depressed on that day. Keeping my fingers crossed though. Thank you for the support ladies.
Still going strong! 7w2d! Haven't seen a Dr yet though. So, I'm cautiously optimistic.
