recurrent MC

Heya, if you've had 3 in a row, go to your doctor, who can refer you for tests to find out WHY it is happening. When you get to 3, is when they usually start investigating further (I am going through this at the moment - first specialist appt on 7th November). It may be something very simple to control and therefore prevent in future, like low progresterone levels - that's the way I am looking at it. I have just had my (hopefully) last blood test today and it has taken 2 and a half weeks to get down to 1.2, which has done my head in.

Huge huge . Take care of yourself, and maybe do some pampering - and good luck!!

Hi ladies, It is soo unfair we have to go through this - Ihave had 3 mc this year (10, 5 and 5 wks) and now on clomid - petrified!!! first step I just want to get preg, then I will be a nervous wreck worrying about mc. My hubby and I have had a number of tests and everything came back good - so we have unexplained mc. I was hoping they would say - this is low, take this and you will be fine. But everything is good (which is good!). Spec did put me on baby asprin though and now clomid, with my first clomid blood test tomorrow...so not sure what will happen. But i feel for anyone going through recrurrent or even one mc, it is soo not fair. My thoughts are with everyone

Kirsten my thoughts are with you

Ah my result wasn't great unfortunately and I haven't visited OB since then really.

The only positive thing from the loss is that I was able to get a specialist appt in the pipeline. Not sure when that will happen but am happy it is underway.

Last night was the worldwide candle lighting ceremony for lost babies - so sad to attend but really really good and healing. Anyone else go?

Oh and hey where are the positive stories!!?? OMG there must surely be some? I bet the ladies in question are just too busy with their bubbas to visit the board much! lol

I had 2 mc's before my first child was born, I thought I would never have a baby, it was so hard. I had had no idea how common mc was then, I didn't know anyone else who had had problems at all, several didn't even want to have babies and had no probs, geez I hated those people!
After that I thought I was "cured" but went on to have 4 more mc's before my daughter was born (4yrs after my son). There were some really tough times, nobody seemed to understand. All those comments people talk of on here, the "you're young", "this happens for a reason", etc, etc, hurt like hell. Being pregnant was stressful, I felt like I was waiting for the worst to happen. I've since had a pregnancy which we opted to end after the 20wk scan when we were told our baby had multiple abnormalities and would not survive. While this was the hardest thing to go through, I came out of it knowing that the mc's probably did happen for a reason, I believe those babies probably would have had the same sort of problems. I'm sorry if this upsets anyone, the point is that even with all the hard times, I still have managed to have 2 perfectly healthy children, soon to be 3. There is surely hope for anyone, even through a lot of heartache to get there.

Also, there is an Australian website called Bellybelly that has a forum with a sticky thread full of success stories after loss. The thread is in the Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss section.
