I am having a really hard time coping with this last loss. Besides how physically horrible is was, knowing that is was my 6th loss is so overwhelming. There is a chance my doctors will finally agree to test me for a clotting disorder and maybe that is my only problem. But I feel like I have no hope now. How many is too many miscarriages? How do you keep going?

I have only had two, but I know what you mean. Before my losses I thought women with multiple losses were crazy to put themselved through ttc again, but now I understand. I am so sorry you are going through this again.

I can't really answer that as i'm feeling the same way...I feel like I have no hope of ever having another baby and we'll never know why i've lost two in the 2nd trimester...I try really hard to think differently, but always in the back of my mind i'm thinking it's never going to happen...I had hope after my first loss, and I lost it after my 2nd...I hope they do testing on you and you can find out what's wrong and fix it GL!!!

I want a baby so badly that I have no choice but to keep trying. Keeping hope alive is the most difficult part of TTCAL. Can you talk to your DH? Mine never lost hope and was a huge help when I would get discouraged.

Hang in there. I'm really sorry about everything. We are always here for you when you need someone to listen.

I lost a baby a couple months after Avery was born.
I decided and said out loud "I'm finished. I'm done."
Then I felt pressure on each of my arms (felt like someone putting a baby in my arms.) I knew I wanted to have that baby in my arms and I wasn't finished.

I struggle from month to month but still have faith that God has my baby and will send it in His time.

I hope you find this peace...
Hugs!!!
Dawna

Thank you all. I am still struggling. My dh though sad, is sure it will work eventually. So I am trying to have faith.

I've had one full term loss and haven't suffered any miscarriages. I still see a grief counselor for my loss, she helps but sometimes the loss just overwhelms me and I break down. My heart is breaking for you right now.
My DH and I will only give up if there is a medical reason we can not carry a child. And if that is a possibility, we're all up for adoption and or surrogacy.

A full term loss is crushing. I had a second term loss, and my others were all first. Its all hard. I feel like the same thing, until they can tell me there is a REASON I cant carry, then I will keep trying.

I cannot say that I haven't lost some hope thru all of this... and ironically right now I'm beginning to struggle a little more than usual with how long we've been trying, how many little ones we've lost and wondering, praying that it would happen soon with a positive healthy outcome.

The only thing that keeps us going is that desire, that beautiful soul, that positive healthy baby of ours.... in our future.

To answer your question... simply put ..... "A baby"

I can't really relate as I've had one pregnancy and one loss. However, being forced NOT to try (long story) has given me some perspective this month.
