Looking for input- nervous/scared but hopeful- recurrent miscarriages

I am finally going to see an obgyn for recurrent miscarriages after what feels to be the longest 9 months of our lives. After our wedding in June - we began trying. We fell pregnant in Sept only to find out we had a MMC in November when baby measured 2 weeks behind no heartbeat. After 2 rounds of miso and a 3.5 L blood loss and 3 ER visits- and a emergency d&c. My period was never the same- very light, lots of bloating…. Then chemical pregnancies Feb and March 2023. I am going back to see my previous obgyn who has said she wants to evaluate me for recurrent miscarriage- as we are getting pregnant with each try but there is definitely something wrong after the initial MMC. I’m honestly looking for stories- of evaluation for miscarriage or even fertility specialists.. I am going to try to advocate for referral to a specialist if I can.. as I will be 36 in June and I really don’t want to miss my window… Wishing you all peace and strength, and the ability to be vulnerable and break and know you are still so very loved.

Following. Wishing the best for you

I’m sorry for your losses. It takes real strength to keep going after so many losses. Just sharing my journey to perhaps give you some hope. I had 3 chemicals then a loss at 20 weeks. Then a healthy baby girl who is 13 weeks! No cause found for the losses and all my tests were completely normal. I didn’t do anything different in my pregnancy that went well. All the best to you 😊

@Tricia thank you ❤️

@Gemma thank you for sharing - I’m hoping nothing is wrong but after the 2 miso, hospital and emergency d&c my periods have become pretty light and I’ve also had discomfort and pain.. so I’m seriously thinking something is definitely not the same as before the MMC… either way I’m hoping to even find out we are good to just keep trying or what we can do for better odds.

@Lindsey I hope all goes well. Our bodies are amazing but they do go through a lot. Yours especially has, hoping nothing but good news for you.

Hello hun, this is a very similar situation to me. I fell pregnant first month of trying and had a MMC at 10weeks. Fell pregnant straight after and MC at 5 weeks, then a few cycles later same again. I was referred to recurrent miscarriage clinic and after a few tests and scans (bloods done 12 weeks apart) I was told I have antiphospholipid syndrome, causing me to miscarry. Easily managed with daily baby aspirin and when eventually pregnant, progesterone and heparin. Lots of success stories, it's just finding out that reason in the first place. Try not to stress too much! Sending love and baby dust 😊 x

I’m sorry for your losses. I had a MMC with twins last September at 9 weeks, I needed 2 D&C’s and a hysteroscopy to remove pregnancy tissue. It took 3 months to complete, my periods returned in December but were extremely light and only really lasting a day. I had all blood tests with my GP and had the go ahead to try again. I then had a chemical miscarriage in February. I’m now going in for day 21 testing to see what’s going on and they’ve said they’ll prescribe progesterone. I can’t help feel like I’ve got scaring or my uterine lining is thin from my previous operations. Xx

@Emma I’m so sorry for your losses- I did see my obgyn yesterday and I finally felt heard. She ordered a bunch of blood work in preparation for my first visit with the fertility specialist in May. She also ordered a hysteroscopy as even though I guess it is rare to have scarring after a first trimester first d&c, she said my change in periods being so drastic since the d&c with my cycle and ovulation still being like clockwork makes her think I may have scarring or I need hormone therapy to help the uterine lining develop. I’m hopeful for our early May specialist appt and to hopefully have our rainbow in the future

@Lindsey I’m so pleased you finally felt heard, it’s such a long process. I’m hoping for the same on Wednesday when I go. I’ve driven myself crazy reading up on so much but I feel like you need to. I wish you all the luck in the world for you’re rainbow baby 🌈 xx

@Emma I hope you have a good experience On Wednesday. Yea I get the reading up- once the doctor said maybe it could be scarring I started researching that and I’m really scared what’s going to happen if that’s what they find in may 😣

@Lindsey thank you. Ahh I know how you’re feeling that’s exactly how I feel but from the research I’ve done if there is scaring they can sort it! Xx
