I don't have any advice, but I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I am just really sorry you are going through this. No advice to share though.

I have no advice, I only had one mc. I just wanted to say how sorry I am you're going through this!!

@mrbee: yes, when I had a d&c they sent it off for testing.

@LovelyPlum: I believe you miscarried naturally but maybe your OB could watch you very closely for your third pregnancy.

Again I want to say sorry I can tell you what I've done so far after 2nd mc. Tested for blood clotting disorders and DH and I both had karyotyping done. That was normal. My doc said I have to wait 4 weeks since my last negative beta to do thyroid antibody testing, so that will happen around June 17. That's all for now.

@LovelyPlum: I hope I didn't sound inconsiderate! I'm sorry if I did. I miscarried in September and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. I couldn't imagine going through it twice.... I really am sorry you are having to deal with this again.

Like @TheSwissWifeStyle, DH and I had karyotyping and RPL (clotting disorder) testing done. I also had my thyroid levels tested and it's the only thing that's been abnormal so far.

Again I am terribly sorry you're going through this. My dr mentioned that with repeat m/c sometimes there just isn't a reason on our end and even if a woman has had three m/c there's a greater than 50% chance that she will carry her next pregnancy to term.

I don't have any advice but I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the doctor's appointment goes well and you get some answers.

I'm so sorry, I know how sad you must be :'(

I had an early miscarriage (5 weeks), then got pregnant again the following month and had an ectopic pregnancy. We had to end that at 8 weeks. It took me 6 more months to get pregnant after that, but it was an amazingly easy and perfect pregnancy.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I also experienced two miscarriages though there were several months between mine. I am definitely no expert but I can tell you the little bit I know based on my own experience. According to my doctor, it is not technically considered repeated miscarriage unless you have three in a row. Even with two, statistically there is a good chance they were caused by unrelated events. Even so, my doctor did several standard tests after my second but did not find a problem. (I don't remember what all the specific tests were but several were related to blood clotting).

Two years later I became pregnant a third time. I called my doctor as soon as I found out and he put me on progesterone supplements immediately just in case it might make a difference. I went on to have a healthy baby that pregnancy - maybe because of progesterone, maybe it would have happened anyway, who knows.

In any case, I am so sorry you are having to go through this.

Hugs and lots of hope for the future! I had a miscarriage last October. Like the Bees, we were able to find out that it was due to a trisomy (18 in our case). #1 cause of miscarriage because when cells divide, sometimes the DNA isn't split evenly between the cells. And there's not too much one can do to keep that from happening (other than staying away from nuclear sites, I guess).

A friend is also TTC and she and her DH found that he's got a lot of mutant sperm. She's had two "pregnancies" that had she not been testing would have seemed like a late AF (quotation marks because not doctor confirmed). Chances are, because of the sperm, there were chromosomal issues. So make sure the swimmers are okay if you haven't already.

I also had low progesterone (for current pregnancy) and was put on supplements. Though from a cursory review of scientific research, supplementary progesterone has been shown to be helpful only to women who have low progesterone early in pregnancy because they have a short luteal phase (time between ovulation and usual period is <10-12 days). If your luteal phase is short, you should be on progesterone ASAP when BFP.

When I miscarried, what got me through the first couple of weeks was the fact that we were one step closer to having a baby than many others. Getting pregnant is tough. You don't have that problem. Now it's on to the next step: keeping preggerz. Though it may be dark right now, the future is bright.

I am so sorry you are going through this. My husband and I went through this last summer as well. We conceived (our first try) in May 2012 and miscarried at just over 5 weeks on June 5th. We got pregnant right away again in June and then miscarried on July 21st at almost 7 weeks. It was heartbreaking. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all this too.

My doctor didn't want to do any extra follow up after the second one, but I asked for more testing. He did lots of testing including the tests for clotting disorders, but everything came back normal. It was mostly for my own reassurance.

We waited a month and then tried again. We got pregnant again our third month trying and are now due tomorrow! My doctor did an early ultrasound at 5 weeks (which didn't show anything other than a sac) and then again at 6 weeks (which showed a heartbeat!!) with this third pregnancy. Everything has gone smoothly this time around.

I hope your doctor can give you some reassurance and you can come to a plan that will make you feel confident about trying again. Knowing that my blood work was normal and that we would have early ultrasounds (normally my hospital only does ultrasounds at 20 weeks) really helped make me more comfortable trying again.

I'm so sorry you are going through this!

no advice, just a big hug. Hopefully your OB has some insight for you.

@LovelyPlum: I agree that our journeys are so similar. My heart broke all over again reading your story because it reminded me of last summer so much. They did not consider me high risk this pregnancy. We had the ultrasounds at 5 weeks and again at 6 weeks. Once we saw a heartbeat and that baby was growing at a proper rate they were satisfied that everything was going normally this time. The chance of miscarriage is much much lower after seeing a heartbeat. Granted, it can still happen, but at least I had that reassurance that baby had grown a weeks growth in a weeks time and that baby had a heartbeat. It helped so much. I was still holding my breath every appointment until I heard the heartbeat though until I could feel baby move.

I've been so lucky this pregnancy that everything has gone completely by the books normal (except for a short spout of hives that we have no clue where they came from). I hope you will have luck your third try around and that things will go smoothly for you as well. Even though the road to get here was hard, it has been worth it. Stay strong.

I just wanted to say that i am thinking of you. Huge virtual hugs

@LovelyPlum: I don't have any experience with an hsg, but I'm so glad that they are being proactive with everything. I am hoping you will figure out some answers and get your sticky baby pronto! Hugs and love!!!!
