pregnancy after 2 miscarriages
Posted: 01-31-08 20:21pm

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
Posted: 06-24-08 12:23pm

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.

Thanks! I just want to say never give up hope! I know it's an incredibly draining physically as well as emotionally but when you do get your little miracle you realize that it was all worth it! Many thoughts and prayers to you all. May you all have your blessings very 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!
