P.A.L. chances of going full-term with healthy baby

[princesspreg]

What are the chances of going full term next time I am PAL?

SO scared to even try again.

Hi hun, you are not any more likely to miscarry after 1 loss. You have a slight increased risk after 2 losses but it's only like 2%. Every one PAL is scared, I'm 4 weeks 4 days today and I am scared! But you have to try and think positive (easier said than done) and instead O'd thinking about the chance of it happening again, think about the fact that you have about an 87% chance that in nine months you will be holding a beautiful baby in your arms!

There's a good chance that you'll have a full-term pregnancy after 1 loss, depending on what caused the loss in the first place.

As someone who lost her first pregnancy at 7w (no yolk sac, thinking a chromosomal issue), I can tell you that I've been scared this whole pregnancy. However, next week, I'll reach the technical full term (37 weeks) and this pregnancy has been fairly uneventful.

If you do get back to TTC and become PAL, know that there are plenty of us here who've been there and can support you along the way.
