I'm currently suffering my second m/c in a row. After a blighted ovum in May, I conceived again early in September. The babe stopped developing a few weeks ago, just after hearing and seeing a very strong heartbeat. My OB thinks my m/c's may have something to do with the way my blood is clotting. She said my uterus looks fine and my endometrial lining looks fine. I asked her if it could be progesterone-related and she said no. I'm doing testing in 6 weeks to solve it once and for all. Anybody have a similar experience and went on to have a H&H 9 months? I'm petrified of trying again.

I dont have a similar experience, but I just wanted to say sorry for your losses.

I am sorry for your loss. HUGS

I am so sorry for your losses I don't have any experience, but I think it's great that your doctor wants to look into this for you. Hugs!

I'm sorry to hear about your second loss It's very hard to go thru this sort of tragedy once, let alone multiple times. I hope that your heart heals quickly

Not to flip sscript quick... but I have to say a few things about testing... (from my experience and as well as so many others)

A friend of mine asked me prior to all the testing I had with an RE for recurrent loss.... "Do you think you're going to be ok if they DO NOT find anything?" I couldn't honestly answer that because I SO wanted to find out if there was something wrong! We always assume there is something wrong with US if we have multiple miscarriages... but it could be a mystery we would never know, or genetic, or DH's swimmers. So many possibilities!

Anyways jumping forward....

At some point you want to really know if there's something wrong (allot of us have) and in some small way you hope there's an answer (like something actually being wrong and easily treatable), but to be perfectly honest allot of times there is NO answer (all tests within normal limits). You're going to have to come to peace with your losses and the testing isn't going to give you that what you might be looking for in your heart. However it definitely can give some small sense of peace by helping thru a process of elimination determine if there "might" have been a contributing. Sometimes there is something wrong, but easily treatable and at the same time there's no way to say that's why your previous losses happened It's disturbing no matter what. We really don't have peace when it comes to our losses

Sorry for you loss. I hope you fine some answers when you do the testing.

Super big massive hugs hun! I just had a bunch of testing done. I have had recurrent losses and they honestly aren't sure why. For me yes I'm scared that if I get pg again I will have another loss but for me I'm more scared that I'll never get to be a mother. I hope that they figure out the problem for you and that it's an easy fix so you get your sticky BFP soon. I know that it's a scary thought knowing that you have no control over the outcome. If you ever need to talk please feel free to PM me

I hate hearing that it happened again for you. Once is certainly bad enough My heart goes out to you, it is horrible to have that moment at the doctor's office when you know you are getting bad news.

In regards to having been there. I have not. I have had four losses since July (one at 9 weeks, the others at 4-5 weeks) and are having our first appt with a specialist this Friday. I sorta do hope they find something wrong, but I am okay even if they don't. I just want to make sure nothing is wrong and even if I don't get an answer, I know I can keep trying and praying that I go on to have a sister or brother for my son. I know there are many who have multiple miscarriages and go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies. Especially since your losses were so different in nature (meaning it was not the "exact same case"). I would tend to think it might be a fluke having two in a row and you will go on to have a healthy pregnancy. But it never hurts to look into things.

I am so sorry about your losses. Hang in there and I hope you get your answers....good luck!

I'm so sorry for your losses. Hugs hun

[yellowbird]

Thanks everyone. The support and advice is really awesome.

I just hope that whatever is going on can be found and resolved quickly. If I had low progesterone with the pregnancy, wouldn't I have had spotting? After the reading I've done, I definitely think it could very well be Antiphospholipid Syndrome. I'm not giving up, I will be a mom!

[Joanna1127]

so sorry to hear of your losses! Sending you lots of ++++ vibes your way!

[missy123]

I am so sorry for your losses. I am glad you found the board here, we are a great group of girls that will offer tons of support. ((Hugs))

I'm so sorry you've had another loss. I don't have personal experience with a clotting problem, but one of my best friends did. She lost several pregnancies in the mid to late first trimester. They finally figured out she was cardiolipin positive and put her on heparin with the next pregnancy, and with that one she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I hope you get answers soon.
