I posted here some time back when I had my first blighted ovum in june last year and on Jan 15th 2010 I had my second one. For both the blighted ovums I opted natural miscarriage and it was horrible and painful both the times. I stopped bleeding last week and waiting for my first period after miscarriage. The second time I collected the tissue from the miscarriage and gave it for testing. But looks like they cannot do the genetic testing on it and said they will do some kind of testing on it. Don't know what it is. My doctor said it is only after third miscarriage they do the tests but I insisted I want all the tests to be done now rather than wait for third miscarriage. I already gave blood for the thyroid, lupus..tests. Also she suggested the following tests
1. HSG(hysterosalpingogram)-This looks like they do this on 7th day from the day period starts. 2. Thrombophilia panel 3. Karyotype
I am so depressed and heartbroken-I never thought that getting pregnant and having a baby can be so difficult and stressful for some unlucky people like me.

It can be hard finally staying pg. I had a BO followed by a chemical pg a few months later. Many ladies on here have had more than one loss and at some point had a healthy baby. I am sorry you had to go through this again. Hopefully you can get some answers from the testing you are having done. I didn't have any tests done but I am sure other ladies will have some advice about testing. Hang in there. We are here if you need us. (((hugs)))

Hi there, I am so very sorry for your losses I had one b/o, was dx with hypothyroidism, then had a full term pregnancy and son, and a 2nd b/o. I went through all the testing you mentioned, and was found to have a clotting disorder. I am very glad that you are being proactive. At best, if all is well you will have peace of mind, and if you do find something is wrong, I bet one of us here will be able to help you with the knowledge we have gained, either personally or through networking. Big big HUGS hang in there and God bless, we are here for you and know exactly what you are going through Kris

{{{Ashley}}} I haven't had testing done so have no answers, but wanted to say how sorry I am you've had another loss. It's great you're being proactive about it and I'll keep you in my prayers that you find answers quickly.
Big hugs, Alexa

I had the tests and they were not able to find anything that can be the possible cause. I donot know if I should be happy or feel more worried that they still cannot figure out the reason. I am 29 years old and hitting 30 this april..I wanted to have a baby before 30. One thing is for sure...Even if I become pregnant again...I may not be able to enjoy it or be stress free.... the first time I got +ve pregnancy test, I was so happy..told everyone...I was sure everything was fine..started reading books and browsing..planning for the names..Not even for a second thought that anything can go wrong with the pregnancy and was more busy telling people and planning for the baby.. the second time I got the +ve pregnancy test, I was scared to be happy and didnot tell anyone except DH ..and was worried the whole time... I can imagine , the third time..the stress levels will be tripled... We started trying again..and no luck yet..

Ashley, ((((HUGS)))) I'm so sorry you had to go through this twice! It isn't fair. Nobody should ever have to deal with this even once. I'm glad you did get the tests done and you are correct: The innocence of pregnancy will be gone. It s*cks! At the same time, I feel like the experience made me a better preggo... I never took anything for granted, was very in-tune with everything going on in my body and welcomed any aches and pains and all 52 pounds of my weight gain. You can typically tell by how much a woman complains during her pregnancy whether she's had a loss or not So, the fact that they didn't find anything wrong is a good thing! I have no doubt that you will have a healthy baby very soon and you will enjoy your pregnancy very very much! There are several ladies on here who have had 2 bo's and then had beautiful healthy children. Give yourself a little time to grieve and heal and I pray that you'll be pg again very soon with a healthy little bean. Lots of hugs, t.

Ashley- I'm so sorry you didn't get any answers with the testing. I was 29 when I had my BO too. I also had always wanted and planned to have a baby before 30. That wasn't in the cards for me as I had my son exactly 1 week before I turned 31. But, the thing about age is that it's all in our heads. There is no real reason why so many of us pick 30 as the age before which we want to do all these things. And whether you are 30, 31, or 35 when you have your baby, holding him or her in your arms for the first time, will help heal the wounds.
There are many women on this site who have had 2 or more miscarriages and went on to have healthy pregnancies afterwards. Unfortunately, 1st trimester losses are fairly common (about 25-30% of pregnancies). That means that about 1 in 10 women will experience 2 losses. That doesn't make it fair or any less painful when it happens to you. But it does mean that you are not alone.
Good luck with the TTCing, we are here if you need us! Hugs, Marisa

Hello Im new to this posting website deal...I had the same thing happened to me a year ago close to my birthday, so now i really dont enjoy my birthday month at all...I had mine at 12 weeks, it was very devastating for me since my husband and I really planified the whole getting pregnant deal, Im still not over it and i think i'll never will, Im getting my tubes cauterized so i wont get pregnant, I have a fear of getting pregnant now and my husband after he saw me going into labor at home and all the blood...well it was enough for him as well..we really dont talk about "baby" subject at the house anymore. Now things are kind of worst since my younger sister is 3 months pregnant shes 24 yrs old and has had 3 abortions and her baby is growing so far...so yeah...sometimes things are just not meant to be, BUT hey ashley!!! FYI if you are not getting results is because the way the doctors are handling the tissue ( the remains) correctly. Im a histopathology technician, I see eeeverything that comes out of the body work with the pathologist to make diagnosis, from the smallest thing all the way to autopsy! SOOOO, If you encounter yourself into the same situation ( I really hope not because i know its very painful and difficult) collect the tissue wrap it in a cloth and place it in ice and take it to the hospital, this is called a "fresh specimen" most of the nurses place everything in a liquid called "fromalin" which helps to perserve the tissue for years, BUT for any chromosome analysis OR anythin genetics the tissue HAS to be FRESH!!!! thats the only way they can analyze it!!!. Hope this helps, very sorry for your loss, hugs!!! and keep yourself strong and healthy!!
