Reading all of these posts make me a bit nervous. I'm sorry to all of you who have had to go through this. I can only imagine how rough it is. X0X0X0 on "How common are miscarriages?

Then I had two successful pregnancies and then one more miscarriage at about 6 weeks. The last one may have been due to low progesterone or just the fact that I was over 40 and my egg quality isn't great. StbHisMrs on "How common are miscarriages?

I went in for an annual and they told me the test came back very faint so it was either very new or I would miscarry shortly. It started within a couple days. I had one successful pregnancy prior to that and two successful pregnancies afterwards. Caly on "How common are miscarriages?

No miscarriages for me, fortunately. DH's mom did tell me she had two miscarriages before giving birth to him and his younger sister. One was before 12 weeks, the other was around 5 months pregnant. DH's sister also suffered a miscarriage last year at 11 weeks. travelgirl1 on "How common are miscarriages?

Both losses were very different, so it really isn't a pattern. With my first loss, I wouldn't have known if I didn't test so early, my period was only a day late. My OB said if I have another in a row, then they will start investigating. TheSwissWifeStyle on "How common are miscarriages?

(So far...) And that's 3. But clearly there is something wrong with me, so I hope that doesn't scare anyone. I think one can be considered "normal" and no one should be too worried (although I know how devastating it is) if they have one. Not trying to downplay that at all, but I don't think it definitely means anything is wrong with you. turquoisemama on "How common are miscarriages?

Has your doctor said anything about the losses being related in any way, or just totally random? I guess they probably can't tell though. artsyfartsy on "How common are miscarriages?

I had a chemical pregnancy at 4 weeks and was diagnosed with a blighted ovum today at 10 weeks and 1 day. I have my first D & C on Monday. My body and mind has been through a lot, so we are taking 2-3 months off. I never imagined I would have two pregnancies and no babies, but I know many have been through far more than me and I am very blessed that I can get pregnant easily (out of three months TTC, I got KU twice.) It's hard to feel blessed right now in the thick of it, but I am trying to be grateful for that. I just really want to be a mom. FliegepilzHut on "How common are miscarriages?

My OB told me she delivers the bad news about m/c at least once a day in her practice. It is estimated that 50% of all conceptions end in m/c. Of course a lot of those are probably super early and not even noticed unless you are really paying attention. LovelyPlum on "How common are miscarriages?

Anyway, I have not had a miscarriage. We were very fortunate to have a healthy pregnancy while NTNP. I would say at least half the women I know have had one though.

I'm in such a different position in this journey than I was when I posted this thread. I can respond to my own poll now - one miscarriage (so far). littlek on "How common are miscarriages?

Both of them occurred after getting pregnancy on first try and successfully delivering my eldest. After the chemical we conceived our second child two months later. Prior to having a miscarriage I had heard about a few friends that had them and also read about ladies on HB that went through the horrible ordeal but always had a sense of denial that it won't happen to me. Then it did. Twice. And it tore my heart out. I felt so alone the first time and was ashamed to talk about it then I felt angry that I was ashamed. So I began talking to friends about it. To make it less of a taboo topic. And you know what? I felt better after talking about it and hopefully my friends will also realize it shouldn't be a taboo topic.

I don't think everyone should be expecting a m/c, but it's certainly not something you should assume won't happen to you. I was 18. Mrs. Pen on "How common are miscarriages?

I don't plan to get pregnant again, so I'm not anticipating that I will ever have one, but of course there is always a change of getting pregnant. I don think it's a sure thing it will happen.but I do think the percentage of pregnancies ending in miscarriage is higher than most believe.
