(Hi Ladies, I have to say that I'm sad for all of your stories but I find comfort in reading them. I'll be 30 in 3 days and my DH is 39. We are scheduled for our 2nd D&C in 6 months. Our 1st m/c was in December (3 days b4 Christmas - talk about timing) and now in June( 2 days b4 my 30th bday). 1st time was missed and the u/s deemed that the embryo stopped growing at 9 wks. This time my body expelled the tissue at 11 weeks. With growing anxiety, I'm curious to hear testimony of women who have walked down this path and conceived healthy children after this ordeal. Please reply.

fmouse,
I too have had 2 m/c this year and it's awful what you've gone through. I have a 20 month old and was so hoping to have a sibling for him that would be fairly close in age. Apparently, my plan wasn't part of God's plan and neither pregnancy was meant to be. I feel very strongly that both m/c (for me) were coincidental, but still wonder if there may be more to it. I have decided NOT to try again until next year. Allow my body as well as my mind to fully heal and then hopefully with some luck the next pregnany will be successful. Was your 11 week m/c bad? I m/c at 12 weeks this last time after dr recommended I m/c naturally and wound up in the hospital after passing out twice. Should I ever be faced with that decision again, I'll opt for the D&C. Has your dr suggested any tests be done on you or your dh? I was given the option of getting the pathology report on the "fetal matter" they exctracted in the ER but chose not to. I'm still waiting on my cycle to start and then back on birth control I go. Again, so sorry to hear your loss! You've definitely come to the right site for support and advise! The women here have been through a lot and have helped me tremendously with my loss! Steph

i am so sorry that you have had to deal w/ 2 m/c in such a short time. 1 is bad enough. I personally have only had 1 but several women here have had 2 and also have had children since.
If you need anything else please let us know.
Take care

Dear Reedstephstuff, Thank you for replying. This last m/c at 11 weeks was worse than the 1st one because I naturally was expelling the tissue. Today I had my D&C and was supposed to have woken at 6am to be at the hospital on time. Well with the cramping, I was up at 2am and fell asleep at 5:30. That was no fun. I did not pass out and I can't imagine having to go through that. My Dr suggests seeing a geneticist at this point which from what I understand is the normal procedure. My hubby and I will try for a 3rd before we start getting tests done. We're optimistic and part of it is from your stories - Thanks and GL2U!

Dear Kirby68,
I'm sorry to see that you are walking in these same steps. I am, however, greatful for your kind words. These times and situations are very uncomfortable for all because you don't know what to say to someone but I have to admit that I feel like I have a group of friends that I can share my pain with. Thank you and GL2U with your attempts to conceive!

Hello there,
I am so very sorry for your losses. I have had two miscarriages with a healthy child in between. After my 2nd loss I went for counseling and found that I did indeed have a problem that was impairing my ability to maintain my pregnancies. It was a blood clotting gene mutation. All my other tests were clear. I was counseled that I needed to be on injectable blood thinners my entire pregnancy and 6 weeks post partum the next go round. So with that news I did TTC, and got pregnant right away. I am now 21 weeks along and with God's help I will make it through with a healthy 2nd child. So it is possible to have that miracle after losses!!!! I would suggest a few tests before TTC again. One is a thyroid and one is a blood clotting/gene panel if your Dr. will allow it. I also had low progesterone so perhaps you could ask your Dr. about supplementation of that too. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It took me a whole year after each loss to consider TTC again.
Big HUGS
Kris

hi, I had a BO, then a healthy baby boy (now 21 months), then a miscarraige (which probably was a BO) in January, and now I'm pregnant again. Just found out today that it looks like another BO--at 6 1/2 weeks. I guess I'm looking for support, and what do I do next? How I know it's really hard to have them so close together, but we do have wonderful son, and i'll keep trying as long as there's hope to have another like Sam. Hugs, amy

Hi Amy,
I am hoping and praying that you do not have another blighted ovum. 6 1/2 weeks is still very early to know anything about a pregnancy. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this stressful time. I went through fertility/pregnancy loss testing after my 2nd loss and can answer questions about that if you have them.
Lots of HUGS!
Kris

Amy I hope you are not having to go thru another b/o - We thought we were having one also, However, the heartbeat was just slow in showing PLUS, we think our dates were wrong...6 1/2 weeks could be early to show heartbeat - it is possible - it happen to me! Keep your spirits up! Joy

Welcome, I am sorry for your previous losses. As far as this pg have you had hcg & progesterone tested?
It is still early some women here didn't see a h/b until past 7 weeks.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Amy,
You and your family are in my thoughts and in my prayers. My doctor told me before we went to have our ultrasound at 6 weeks that he may not be able to hear the heartbeat until the next week or later. I am sincerely praying that is the case with you too. (((((((((((((HUGS!!!)))))))))))))) Micki
