Hi,

Just wanted to say hello, sorry you are all in this situation but hope we can support each other and share our experiences.

Here's my story:

30 years old, married.

Started TTC in 2009 after getting married.

mmc at 9 weeks (didn't find out till 11 weeks) medical management
natural m/c at 6 weeks
natural m/c at 7 weeks
Birth of baby boy (our miracle)
Blighted ovum (found at 8 weeks) medical management at 10 weeks

So now here I am TTC baby no.2 after 4 losses and one miracle.

We don't seem to have a problem actually getting pregnant, longest it's ever taken is 3 cycles but obviously having problems with losses. We've had all the tests under the sun and they can't find a reason for it happening. We have sent most recent loss off for genetic testing.

I am keen to start TTC right away before even having first AF.

Hey Hey. You have been through a lot and I wish I could give you a hug through the computer. I am both scared and excited to TTC after my one loss. I don't know how mentally stable I would be if I had more than one loss, but you are proof that there can be happy endings so I wish for you to get a second happy ending :) Are you doing anything different this time around?
 
Thank you, I'm not doing anything different this time round. I didn't do anything differently with each of my pregnancies and they have all resulted in different outcomes. Oh apart from the fact that I will be taking 75mg of asprin as I did when pregnant with my little boy but then I don't even know if that helped cause I took it this most recent time and that resulted in blighted ovum so I literally think it's just a case of us getting a healthy egg and sperm. I'm scared of having another m/c but then I know it's worth going through anything and I'm so glad I didn't give up after first 3 m/c's cause I did end up getting my baby boy. If it's only meant to be that I have 1 baby then so be it and I am grateful for that but I would like to have another and I'm willing to give it a good go to get one no matter what.

You know Swanny, it's funny. I started out only wanting one, but the other day I thought about the idea of having 3. Lol. Maybe that is too much for my poor husband,but it would be nice to have twins and at least get 2 out of the way....
 
I would love 3 but I think after everything we've gone through if we are lucky enough to have 2 I think I'll have to call it a day. I know we can do it but it's just awful not knowing how much more loss do we have to go through to get it.

Most people have a loss and then go on to have a sucessful pregnancy next time. It's not as many people who continue to have losses although I'm sure there are quite a few of us on here it's not as common.

I think it's most frustrating not having the answers to why it's happening so much.

I hope you get your blessing very soon :)
