Q: pregnancy after 2 miscarriages
asked by: jridgill45 on January 31st, 2008
New User
I have had 2 miscarriages in a row last year and we currently trying again for the first time since. My last miscarriages was in Nov. we have waited 2 cycles as the doctor recommended. They have done a thyroid test and it was normal and I am currently taking prenatals, baby aspirin, and prometium after ovulation. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after 2 miscarriages in a row? If so what did you do differently? What do you think my chances are of having a successful pregnancy? Thanks everyone!

Well it looks like I am going through another miscarriage. This will make #3 for me. I have had spotting for about 4 days now. I have an u/s Wed. to confirm or not. If so its off to the RE.

I had 3 miscarriages before carrying a healthy pregnancy. I think that you should ask to be tested for genetic problems, because this is whats wrong with me. I have a trisomy 14, which means that I give the baby 2 14th chromosomes instead of 1. So the baby has 3 instead of 2 (2 from me and 1 from dad) BUT, In a healthy pregnancy the body realizes that something is wrong and kicks out one of the extra chromosomes. 99.5% of the time it is the extra maternal and .5% it is the fraternal which, if this happens results in a chromosome malfunction with the baby and causes part of the brain to not develop. So my pregnancy does carry a few risks, but it has a 99.5% chance that my baby will be perfectly healthy. I am currently 18 weeks 5 days. Dont give up! My previous doctor flat out told me I wouldnt be able to have a baby without getting IVF, Obviously I proved her wrong. Keep trying and try to get some testing done. Its a good sign that you can get pregnant! I hope everything works out!

2 miscarriages and pregnant
I have had 2 recent miscarriages at 6weeks and am currently 4 weeks pregnant. With all 3 I have had spotting about 2 days before my period should start that lasts about 4-5 days and is a dark brown color. This time I am on progesterone but still spotting. I will pray for all of you. Please pray for me. I hope I keep this one, but the spotting is just as before. With the first we did see a heartbeat at 6weeks but then miscarried and with the last one my hcg levels rose normally until 6weeks then US confirmed no heartbeat. I don't know what else to do but wait and I guess start testing if this one ends in miscarriage.

Well ladies I actually did not miscarry. We did find a heartbeat at 7 1/2 weeks and I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. I was so sure that I had miscarried after all that bleeding. I want to thank you so much for sharing your stories with me. It means a lot. I will pray that you bring your little miracles in the world soon.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

My friend had about 6-7 miscarriages (none got past 8wk) before she finally carried to term. She now has a healthy 15mo old girl and is expecting number two in October.

Good Luck!

THANK YOU! Shawano, Wisconsin, USA (3 mc before healthy pg)
I have been going crazy the past two days!!! Not until your finding your post this morning have I had any hope. I have had 3 mc's as well and was able to do testing on my second baby (12 wks). They found it was due to trisomy 14 (the ob later told me that this is almost always inherited and either my husband or I, or both, must have it) and all the information out there looks so bleak. I have been speaking with my ob's nurses and the tone they've been using has been one of extreme sympathy. One of them actually said the reason I'm being sent to a geneticist is because they don't want me to keep trying if there's no reason to. (Yes, she also added that we're not there yet). But, gosh, I've just been so upset thinking I may never be able to have children. And my husband already has a little girl, so I've been thinking it's me with the problem. Anyhow, I have no idea what my future has in store, but I really am grateful that someone out there has a positive outcome.

Thanks so much!! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! Smile

mimi21, dont worry. If you conceived in the past without fertility drugs you more than likely can conceive on your own. I had 1mc in 02 then went on to have a healthy baby boy(03) and it took me 9mths to conceive him. He is 6 now and we have had 2mc one in August 08 and one June 09. Just keep the faith. It will happen! It has taken me 9-10mths each time after a mc to conceive. Good Luck! YOu are in my prayers!

Missed Miscarriage after a miscarriage....
Glad to hear about your little boy rushingiI2000! I had a MC after 6 weeks then a period then I became pregnant. At 9weeks and 2 days I had a scan and they said I had a missed miscarriage as there was no heartbeat and the embryo is only 7mm so it died at 6.5 weeks ie 3 weeks ago. All I am now thinking is perhaps the period wasn't so accurate as it was after a miscarriage and therefore my dates are wrong. Because I found out later that if an embryo is dead it then decreases in size at the same rate it would normally grow so therefore would be much smaller than 6.5 weeks, more like 3.5 weeks..Having another scan on Thursday(a week later) to see whether there has been any growth or a heartbeat. Fingers crossed

Despite their prevalence, it is always devastating when a woman experiences a miscarriage. While a miscarriage can cause a woman to feel alone and isolated, it is important to remember that a large portion of women will experience at least one miscarriage during their reproductive years.

Successful pregancy after 3 miscarriages in a row?
Hi Everyone,
I have had 3 miscarriages in the past year (nov 2 2008, april 22 2009, and july 8 2009)My doctor has suggested that we begin doing some testing to try to find out whats going on, but in the meantime isnt concerned for us to continue trying. Has anyone had 3 miscarriages in a row and continued on to have a successful pregnancy without treatment?
Thanks for your time ladies!
