Hi Patiently,

I know exactly how you feel-it's perfectly normal to have good days and bad days. We just have to take it day by day (for me it's sometimes moment by moment). Don't blame yourself--it's nothing you did. The best thing to do is to get informed so that the next you will carry your baby to full-term.

Desperado, so sorry that is all happening to you. Have you considered egg donation? My sister was told to give up in her early 40's. She refused and went to Spain. There was nothing wrong with her, her eggs were just not the best. She has a lovely 2 yr old girl now and often dreams of giving those naysayers a piece of her mind.

 

[Desperado167]

Hi Gill,thank u for replying ,was actually thinking of egg donation before I became pregnant,may look into it again,well done to your sister ,

Game over - again!

I don't even know what to say. I really, really thought this was it for me. I have no idea what to do now. Every little bit of positivity and fight has been knocked out of me. I'm about 20ft below rock bottom.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know. Any wise words anyone? xxx

 

[coco84]

Oh no claire! i'm so sorry to read this, i dont have any wise words but just leaving you a

Hi Claire

I am so so sorry to hear your news, I'm absolutely gutted for you honey.
Were you taking the progesterone from OV?
You've had such a struggle I was so hoping this LO was going to stick for you.

I'll pm you tomorrow, for now I just want you ro know I'm thinking about you xxx

 

[petitpas]

Lee, sorry I couldn't answer you earlier. I had to take a couple of days off to cope with waiting for my ERPC, which I had this morning. I read your words before I logged off and I just wanted you to know that you are a big comfort and inspiration to me. Thank you so much!

Claire, I am so so sorry life really is shit sometimes. I also thought this was my one even while waiting for my fateful scan. It scared me so much I'm not sure I'll ever be able to muster the courage to be happy about a pregnancy again. So unfair!
What is happening to you at the moment? Are you miscarrying naturally? Big big hugs and strength to you xxx

 

[karensue0523]

hubby and i tried for 2 1/2 years to get pregnant. finally got pregnant and had a flipping miscarriage day after xmas 2010. wtf???? still trying and NOTHING! To find out hubby has low sperm count. Instead of his count/motility being in billions or even millions for that matter is was just plane oh 400 and 15 % motility...Will i ever get pg again. =o(

 

[daviess3]

Hi girls so sorry clare and all you other ladies having a rubbish time! It's just pants!!!
I decided to take 50 mg of clomid this month just to see if it works!! Fingers crossed! Xx

 

[Justkeeptryin]

I think its awful that so many people on here have to suffer recurrent miscarriages. I've now been through two in a row this year and I know what its done to my mental health, I've been feeling so depressed about it all. Its teh most heartbreaking thing ever.
I worry myself that its never going to happen, its also been discovered at my D&C that I have a double uterus, two completely seperate wombs each with their own cervix. This dosent account for my early miscarriages though..I have something causing my early miscarriages and now this uterus anomaly that places me at higher risk aswell later on. Oh and also been discovered that I only have one kidney, this is related to the double womb. I cant take any more suprises this year.
Im waiting to attend my recurrent miscarriage clinic on the 21st July and really hope to get to the bottom of this. I suspect low progesterone as I have all of the symptoms, also my mum had 5 miscarriages and then had progesterone injections to have 3 of us healthy. My GP told me that miscarriages arent hereditary when I said about my mum...yeah but low progesterone is hereditary from the research that I have done. Hang in there everyone xx

 

[petitpas]

Of course recurrent miscarriages can be hereditary. They often aren't but why look for hereditary clotting problems if you don't think it's a genetic problem? Just something to throw back at your doc

Wow, a double uterus! And missing a kidney is a pretty big hit, too Will you be seeing a specialist about this?

Good luck with your clomid, Davies fxfxfxfx

Karensue, I see from your post number that you are relatively new here. Did you know there is a ltttc section on BnB? (Long Term Trying To Conceive)
There are quite a few ladies n there who's DHs have sperm problems. They might have some pointers for you...

I'm really frustrated at my body right now. I had my first pg and first mc a couple of months ago around 5-6 weeks. After 1 cycle of waiting, I'm pg again now at 5 weeks. On the 3rd I started spotting (roughly same time frame mc began the last time). I'm going to the Dr. in about an hour. I don't know for sure if I'm losing this one yet - but I feel like it's doomed again. It seems that I'm not having trouble getting pg - just keeping it in there. It makes me so mad/sad. Please keep me in your prayers that this one wont fail. Thanks everyone!

 

[ClaireH]

Thanks girls.
Wasn't really able to give you the details yesterday. I had an early scan and suprise suprise my little baba (I've called her Lentil) only measured 5weeks; I should have been 7weeks. So that's my last 5 pregnancies that haven't got past 5week. I wish I knew the secret of baby #1 that got all the way to 9.5weeks. Medical Managment later this week. I am really not doing well at all and just terrified of having to go through this ordeal of another MC. I can't do this anymore!! Seriously thinking of giving up.
Anyway, I will let you know how I get on xx

 

[MissMaternal]

I'm so sorry Claire xxx

 

[Hollybush75]

Claire you're in my thoughts right now.

 

[petitpas]

I'm so sorry Claire. That really sucks

Is there any way you can have the remains genetically tested? This is the first m/c where I managed to get a 'sample', but I've been tried unsuccessfully for the past two m/cs.

I am fully expecting the results to come back as 'normal', i.e. a healthy baby but that gives me ammunition to take to my doctors to show that my treatment is not sufficient. If the results come back with an anomaly it will give me the courage to try again with the treatment I am already on.
