    I've had two successful pregnancies and no miscarriages, but I think with my first I had a vanishing twin around the 6 week mark.

    I've had two, one at 4 weeks and one at 6 weeks.

    Yes, several. 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.

    @PawPrints: Looks like still about 50% one way or the other. I'm sorry for your loss.

    In the four or so months that I have been TTC, I have had two. 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.

    @simplyfelicity: So sorry to hear this. 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.

    All of my pregnancies have ended in MC. (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.

    @MrsHansen82: The doctor thinks, at this point, it's just a case of bad luck. 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.

    @simplyfelicity: I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your D&C goes smoothly and good luck for a future sticky baby.

    I was checking this thread to see if I'd answered yet and sadly, I had a miscarriage a few months after I first posted. Missed miscarriage at 9 weeks and then one successful pregnancy.

    One miscarriage at 8 weeks pregnant after seeing a heartbeat. It was my second pregnancy.

    Only one pregnancy that resulted in twins. 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.

    I had a miscarriage but they didn't know how far along I was. 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.

    I had one miscarriage at 9 weeks, I didn't even know I was pregnant till I was about 6 weeks along. 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.

    One successful pregnancy and currently 5 weeks pregnant. 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.
