Q: How Many Possible Miscariages?

I was just wondering,I have a family member who smokes cig's and drugs,drinks large amounts of soda,has a cat infested house(as high as 21 at one point) and ''claims'' her Dr.said her health is fine(other than she thinks she has a new disease each other week).She said someone ''gave her '' clomid,but only took it for 5 days,is it POSSIBLE to have had 12 miscariages in 10 yrs(no home preg test was even ever positive).I have kept track of all the ''pregnancies'' over the years,and they have actually totaled over 30.she only admitted to 12 when questioned. I know the pain of all of this and have lost 2 sons prior to birth,and have had 3 other occasions where no baby resulted. it is an agonizing feeling,I do understand,but is there some way of getting her the help she needs? My sister said each time she has her period,that it really isn't a period,she's just lost another one-as per doctors diagnosis(her words).Only other problem with this is she tells everyone she CAN'T get pregnant......is it me or does this sound weird to you,I feel badly for her and don't know what to say....any advice?( our mom said by all accounts,her total came to 44 in 14 yrs-she was listening too)

Firstly with the way she is living her life it is very possible that she has had many m/c's!!

Secondly someone saying that they have had a m/c when they havent could be one of the worst things that you can say. There are people out there that have actually had m/c and know the hurt and pain that is associated with them, to have someone just make up that they have had one can be heartbreaking!!

Your friend should really think about how she is living her life and what she says because she can get herself into alot of trouble. If she is generally trying to get pregnant she needs to start by quitting drugs, cigarettes and eating a better diet. I would like to see proof that she is in fine health with everything you have stated!

How Many Possible Miscariages?
Auzzie,
I agree ,it is hurtful,my sister has NO IDEA the pain she is causing to herslf and others.when my 1st son passed (32 weeks),she didn't even say she was sorry,etc,she slugged from her beer and said,''what ever,IT happens'' and carried on,it was 1 wk to the day,I felt crushed,my brother in-law figured I should get a cat,because it's weight and size resembled a new born,how could he say that?! THEY only talk about HER ''cases'' and refuse to acknowledge my son,they won't even come to his funeral,they(13 yrs later) don't even know what his name is....I still have great compassion for them,but am having a hard time understanding their attitude,they live in the same 1.5 hr area and have only seen my 4yr old 1x--great aunt,eh!! It's ALL about HER,I have believed her''story ''so many times I lost count,it hurts and I am wondering if she is doing it for attention,every holiday( with a joint or cigarette in her mouth) she says she IS or THINKS she is pregnant...it REALLY hurts,she doesn't know how much pain she is inflicting on me and my husband--we lost the 1st just before our anniversary,and the 2nd 2 months before an anniversary,not to mention,an early pregnancy(#3 around xmas)..One lost close to easter,and one late fall(none of them occurring in the same year-89,92,94,95,01-finally son in 03)...I have my tubes now tied....I don't know how to handle them,I stay away from family functions to protect myself and husband...she believes ALL home and doctor tests are a - ...you'd think even 1 would come back ....am I just judging her????
