Same ... a "fluke". That's just so annoying because it means there is nothing we can do to prevent it 
mc's..from what I heard....
- Thread starter keepthefaithx

I was told the same... A fluke... Bad luck.... Probably chromosomal. Then I had another miscarriage. And was told the exact same from totally different dr. She said most early losses ( mine were 6 &6 1/2 weeks) were due to chromosomal issues. Later miscarriages may mean it could be something more to it. She said miscarriage is really common and the older you get the greater your odds. And because of that it is possible that some women will have more than one miscarriage and it still be really just a fluke. That I just had really bad luck.
I've had a baby so they knew I could carry a baby. They said alot of early tests were not necessary as they knew I had a uterus, and had a variety of reasons they didn't think it was certain blood problems, etc.
I'm pregnant again and 12 weeks today. Have seen my baby with heartbeat on ultrsound and I bought a doppler and am hearing heartbeat on that. So far so good!
A lot of women I know have had a miscarriage. Both my moms sil's have had them. My dads sister had one. 2 women out of the 3 that I was working with have had one. And one of those had a stillbirth as well. And all the women I just mentioned have between 1-4 kids. I think that if it wasn't such a taboo subject and such a secret we would be hearing about lots more women who have gone through them.

Hi, (popped over from the 2nd trimester....)
I had an m/c at 7-8 wks in August 2009 and, while it took me another 15-18 months to conceive again, I am currently 17wks+2 days....my GP and m/c counsellor said that the majority of women do conceive again and have a healthy pregnancy/baby -- I certainly hope so!
My DH and I had decided to do IVF and in January of this year, began the blood tests, scans, etc., I also have PCOS and after a very late cycle (possible chemical pregnancy?) in September 2010, my GP put me on metformin. This January, it was realised that my thyroid was underactive and was put on low level meds; I also did acupuncture (whether it helped or not, it did relax me!) and saw a consultant ob/gyn for scans 'down there', and went to a fertility nurse/specialist in the UK; in May of this year, I had my pre-IVF first cycle bloods and my thyroid was still slightly underactive, my meds were increased and I had my first 28 cycle in months; I got pregnant naturally the next month and am due the end of February. I am so 43, so know that my odds of getting pregnant naturally were quite low, but so far, all scans, bloods show a perfect little baby boy.
So, yes, it can happen -- many of you are probably younger than me, but I also lost weight and quit smoking in Jan-March (it took awhile)/pls note -- did not smoke when was pregnant last time, but started again when it was obvious was having an m/c. I think, in my case, the underactive thyroid was the final 'key' in getting pregnant and I believe that the continued use of metformin in pregnancy may have helped the blood flow/placenta formation (see some studies which support, others disagree). Personally, I am still somewhat shocked that I got pregnant again, but very cautiously hopeful that this time it will be ok.
best wishes

Hi Gals. I am the result of the 3rd time is the charm. My mother had two m/c prior to having me. I have also had 2 m/c, one ectopic and second was blighted ovum. My doctor was worried about a second ectopic after my first pregnancy (I also have pcos and endo), but my second baby implanted in the proper area the second time. The doc had the tests run on the sac after the second m/c, but the results came back normal. She said that blighted ovums and other m/c happen more often than people realize, and that she had every hope and reason to believe that I will be able to conceive and carry the next to term.
After my 2nd m/c, I found out that the majority of women I work with have had at least one m/c, and all have gone on to have healthy children. I know it can be hard to get through the loss of your baby; I still struggle at times, but one must have hope. So don't stress too much, because there is every reason to have hope for a better outcome the next time. Best of luck in the future. And hope that the next is the charm.

I've just had my 2nd MC, it's very Raw atm because I only began bleeding on Wednesday. My 1st Mc was in April, no tests or follow ups. Fell pregnant again in July and now lost that one. I'm hoping 3rd time lucky with the next, as I cannot put myself through this grief again. I hope the odds of it happening again are very Low.

bfpsoon - sorry you are going through this again. I had my second MC at end of July. It feels so hopeless when it happens a second time, especially when everyone tells you the first MC was just bad luck and it's really unlikely to happen again. My Dr's been fantastic and arranged lots of blood tests, but now I actually feel much more positive that it probably was just bad luck again and I'm feeling happy to be ttc now. Hopefully the bloods will confirm that. Just wanted to let you know that although it feels pretty dark when it happens again there is light at the end of the tunnel.
