I have had 5 miscarriages. I had one at 13 weeks (baby only measured 10 weeks) 6 years ago. Then I had my son (perfectly normal pregnancy from start to finish). We started trying to conceive another child when he was 1 1/2. I finally got pregnant in October 2007. I miscarried 3 days after my BFP. Then I got pregnant in May 2008 but was miscarrying the day I found out. Then in December 08 I got pregnant again and it ended up being ectopic. We did fertility treatments and IUI's this summer and all three failed. My first month off of all meds, I get pregnant. I made it to 8 weeks but the baby stopped growing at 6 1/2 weeks. I know we had a heartbeat at 6 weeks but it was low. The doctor did a D&C on Friday and sent the tissue off for genetic testing. I have had every test possible in the past 2 years . Nothing can be determined as the cause of the miscarriages. The RE feels like my progesterone caused the 2nd and 3rd ones. I was on progesterone this time from the very beginning. I just want one more child and our family will be complete. I always wanted three children but I will settle for just 2. I couldn't continue going through what I have gone through the past 2 years.

I am so sorry that we have this in common. It does sound like you may be able to carry another child, which is good. How do you deal with things- will you be ready to try again soon? I hope you have a good outcome.

I just found out today that I am waiting for mc number 6 to happen. This was a chemical pregnancy, and not that upsetting, compared to other things I have dealt with. What upsets me is that the outlook for a future pregnancy isn't good. It also brings up sad feelings from my summer miscarriage.  My baby had a beautiful heartbeat and growth, and died around 10 weeks.

I feel like I will never carry another child again.  I hope that you can get some good news. You must feel blessed to have a child. I think mine are true miracles.

I'm sorry for your losses.   We can all certainly relate.  It's so frustrating when you don't get any answers.  With all the testing you've had, did you get tested for Immune issues or MTHFR and NK Cell Activity?  Were you on any meds (i.e. baby aspirin, folgard etc)?  Just trying to eliminate the obvious for you!

I have always started trying right after a miscarriage. I have to wait 6 weeks though. I have faith that I will have another baby. I am going through this for some reason. I just with I knew why.
I am very blessed to have my son. Having him does not take away the hurt and the longing for another child but it does help. I am very thankful that I do have him and I cherish every day we have together.

I am sorry to hear that you have had to endure so many losses. 

I have also had 5 m/c's, although mine were all around the same time (between 5-8 weeks) and some have been gentic (pg. #3 was trisomy 22) and others were genetically normal (pg. #4).  We do not have any kids. 

I am still hopeful that despite so many losses, that I will be able to carry a baby to term.  I just have hope in my heart that I will be able to have a successful pg. 

It is reassuring that you have had one successful pg. that resulted in your beautiful son.  Keep hopeful that there will be more children in your future. 

I have also had tons and tons of testing, and everything continues to point to bad luck or a blood clotting disorder.  I am currently reading Randine Lewis' book, "The Infertility Cure" and although I achieve pg. relatively easily, the book has been super helpful in terms of recurrent loss.
