I've had my second miscarriage within a year.

Physically and emotionally it was the worst experience of my life. Second pregnancy was going amazing. Husband and I went to an appointment and within seconds I realized there was no longer a heartbeat. My poor husband didn’t know. He was ‘oohing and awwing’ over the growth and new features. He had no clue. The doctor pulled out and broke the news. My husband was in shock. Heartbroken. I was in shock. It all happened so fast. When we had a moment to ourselves he asked ‘Did she even look around for the heartbeat? Is she sure?’ My heart broke. Within 10 hours, I was having an emergency D&C. It was tough. I woke up hysterically crying as the anesthesia wore off. Prior to the D&C, we had to make the arrangements for our baby which I was not expecting but in our state, every life matters. Here we are now, 4 weeks from the procedure. Luckily we have a doctor that is just as curious as to why I’ve had 2 miscarriages under 30 years old. Waiting on all of the test results is killing me. It’s 4:30am. I slept 2 hours last night which is more than I have been. I saw an add for ‘Peanut’ and figured I have nothing left to lose. I know I’m not the only person out there going through something like this and hate the pitty party. We never shared either pregnancy until Christmas. After a significant loss with my SIL at 20 weeks, I didn’t want to share until 30 weeks. Around Christmas, we shared our blessings and losses socially. I was sick of wondering who knew, who didn’t. It was the hardest yet most relieving thing I’ve ever done. But yet here I am. Still struggling. About to snap with the anxiety of waiting.

Your babies are watching over you. I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve had to endure. I pray that you are blessed with a miracle baby soon. If not one.. two! You and your husband deserve it. I pray that things get better for the both of you and you guys are given the strength to keep trying and keep fighting. Never give up.

Oh Niki. This story just ripped my heart out. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Husbands are so innocent with these things and it just makes it so much worse to see their reactions after they get so excited. There’s literally nothing anyone can say to make this any better but being on peanut does help. When I miscarried last month, I had so much support on here and feeling like you have support from women who are going through similar situations can make it feel less isolating. I had someone on here tell me to have comfort in knowing that our bodies are strong enough to tell the difference when it’s a viable pregnancy and not. And that brought me a little comfort. I also had a friend tell me that after having a devastating miscarriage, holding her son now, she has moments where she appreciates life so much more because she remembers what she had to go through to get there. I really do hope that you find strength and are able to heal and move forward. Sending you baby dust 💨✨

Hi Nikki! Don’t give up hope ❤️ very very similar to you I had 2 miscarriages, the first I miscarries at home as you did, the second required a D&C. I’d all but given up on having a baby due to not being able to deal with the grief when miscarrying. I gave up trying and 6 weeks later I found out I was pregnant again! I’m now 23 weeks pregnant with a little boy. I’m under 30 too so it sounds liKe we’re very similar! DON’T GIVE UP HOPE ❤️ 🌈 xx

I had three miscarriages under 30 and all the testing and they couldn't find out why. After the 3rd one i went to counseling becauas my emotions were all over the place. This app has helped me so much. I am praying for you and your family.

I’m so sorry to hear this! 😔 I had a miscarriage in 2016. I got pregnant in 2018 and had a feeling (due to research) that I had low progesterone. First I begged and begged doctors to test my progesterone level and once they did I found out it was really low. I was a mess. I was then begging doctors to prescribe me progesterone suppositories and no one wanted to listen to me, one doctor even said it’s against the rules. I didn’t care one bit, I was determined. Finally, I got a hold of the same doctor who tested my level and without hesitation she prescribed them to me. I now have a healthy 8 month old baby girl. Everyone is different and not saying this is your case because I’m not sure, but it’s worth talking to your doctor about it. I wish you the best of luck and healing. 💛

Hi Niki, I’m so sorry you lost your two babies. But, they are still yours and you are still their mother. Nothing changes that even though it’s so hard to be a mama without her babies. I came here looking for woman who had been though what I went through too. I’ve had 3 losses and I’m under 30. But I’m here to tell you that you came to the right place for sanctuary. There are so many women here who know the pain of wanting a baby and for one reason or another not having one. It’s a completely unfair burden but we are in it together...even from across the country.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I don’t even know what to say. My thoughts and prayers are with you

I'm so sorry for your losses 😔 maybe ask about low progesterone? My very first pregnancy resulted in miscarriage (and I was told that was very normal) when I got pregnant the second time my doctor put me on progesterone when I started bleeding a little in the beginning.

Im so sorry for your losses mama. I had 2 missed miscarriages myself...baby measured 11 and 9 weeks. I took cytocec both times and passed babies at home which was traumatizing given how far along I was. It took 7 months to conceive after my 2nd loss but I am currently 28 weeks with my rainbow boy and I'm 33 years old. I never got any answers as to why it happened but I wanted to share my story with you in Hope's that it brings you at least a little bit of comfort♡

💛🧡

Sending you lots of love and strength ❤️

Hey I’m going they the same but I’m 35 yrs old just found out today I had a miscarriage over the weekend this is my 2 nd one and my emotions are everywhere so I definitely feel your pain but we will be here for each other and continue to uplift each other❤️

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and positivity. ❤️

It’s so hard after TTC for 2 years, 1 failed IVF we were able with a successful IVF with twins. I was super excited and at about 9 weeks was told no heartbeat and I passed them at home. It was horrible. I know what you’re feeling I get so angry at times but hang in there. Wishing you the best!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the feeling of having a miscarriage. I had two miscarriages. The hardest was the first one where One week I hear a heartbeat and next week I hear no heart beat. I felt mad, sad and lost. I was scared to go through it again. It took awhile to get pregnant and 1 year later I suffered another miscarriage by this time I wanted to give up. My son who was 5 at the time wanted a sibling, everyone else was getting pregnant except for me. I felt terrible. My Obgyn was going to put me on hormone therapy but I waited and during that time My period was late and I took a test and it came back positive that I was pregnant. I was happy but scared it can happen again. My first trimester I did not enjoy it because I was scared I would miscarry. Well now I have a beautiful healthy rainbow baby girl. Don’t give up. I think what really helped me was not trying to get pregnant and taking 2 weeks off from work which helped with not stressing.

Your so strong. I barely survived one miscarriage prayers momma

Omg 😭😖 You are so strong woman ❤️ And I’m so sorry for you loss.. they are looking over you from heaven I lost my first ever baby when I was just a teenager.. it was wild to keeping all to myself at age 16.. to keep away from teachers,parents,only who knew was my partner and me.. it was the darkest time.. god will make it happen,some day the true angel will lay under your heart and make it better ❤️ Bless you and your further life ❤️

I also passed my sac at home with my miscarriage. it was awful.i couldn't stop crying. I was so excited for that baby and now it's gone. just have hope that you will get your rainbow baby one day. of course we cant forget what we have lost. xxx

Thank you again, to everyone for your support ❤️

My love I understand your pain far to well I just miscarried this month. I had 5 miscarriages before I had my son and two more after him. TTC has always been difficult for me it’s only after IVF that I finally had my son... it never gets easier ....but the hope is there my friend xoxox

Try taking a baby aspirin a day

Nikki!! I was exactly in your shoes a year ago the same storyline!! It’s scary how similar!! It’s a horrible place to be but you are never alone! I hope you are doing better by now but take all the time you need. After going through that we chose not to have any more children, we have a healthy 3 year old little girl...it was not a choice done overnight it was a process... Im not exactly in the best health so it would be better this way. I hope you are getting all the love and support from your husband...they are a huge help ❤️ please be kind to yourself..

I'm so sorry for your loss, it takes time to heal after a miscarriage, grieve, take time for yourself and heal, your time will come, but please make sure in all the desperation and frustration you grieve. I never grieved the loss of my first baby nd now I have 2 children and it is more painful and confusing than ever becuase I never grieved the loss. Take care of yourself ❤️ you are unbelievably strong x

I’m so so sorry you’re goin through this! I’m about 4 weeks post procedure after our baby’s heart stopped beating at 15 weeks. We also had the exact same thing happen this past April at 18 weeks 💔 it’s soooo hard! Take the time you need, it does get easier over time but unfortunately sometimes the doctors really don’t have answers and that’s one of the hardest parts for me. I have found that talking about it more helps me, and getting back to my “routine” helps too. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon & that everything goes smoothly.

Just to give you some hope. I have had 3 miscarriages previously. I am now carrying a healthy and very active baby boy due in 8 weeks. Hold on to hope. I know it’s hard and not as easy as it sounds - but if you truly believe you’ll have a baby one day, then you will x

So sad and traumatic for you , thank you for sharing your story , I went through a traumatic miscarriage recently and haven’t been able to talk to any of my friends or family other than my parents because I have found it so devastating . Here’s to having happy healthy babies 💕💕💕

I’m sorry Niki, I've had two miscarriage too.

Wow... so sorry for your loss. I just had my 2nd mc. One in June then one just last week. I just want answers and it’s not fair . Good luck to you and don’t give up what’s meant to be will be.

I think that one of the hardest parts of having a miscarriage is having to "break the news" and relive it over and over again and dealing with the comments...ugh they always mean well, but they don't realize how hurtful what they are saying is. I have had 6 miscarriages and they never get easier. I think we all cope in our own way with the loss. I hope you find answers.

Feeling honored to hear your story . Sending you love and strength. Sounds like you are incredibly brave and you will pull through this I am sure. I hope you find a way to be extremely kind to yourself now, I am happy to chat anytime. I don't know about your kind of loss, but do know about grief as I lost a sister. Again love and strength 💚💚💚

Low progesterone

Don’t loose hope and it doesn’t nessearily mean something is wrong. I have 👼👼👼👼 all in a row, our 👶 boy and another on the way. I never did the testing personally, so I applauded you for that. Where I live you have to loose a certain number before even getting access to testing. Anyway, just wanted to share that your never alone and every life does matter! All of my heaven children are loved as much as my earthly ones. I come from a line of women who have gone through the same many with 3-5 children so don’t be discouraged! ❤️

I’m so sorry 😢💔

I’m sorry sweetie!!! But don’t loose hope you will have your babies don’t worry!!! My husband and I tried for years and had 5 miscarriages and went through ivf now we have a healthy chunky boy so don’t loose hope be strong!!!

I’m so sorry!

How devastating to you both 😢. I prey this makes u stronger as a couple and the Good Lord blesses you with a healthy, beautiful baby soon 💙💗🙏.

I am sorry for your loss I had miscarriage last year August 25th 2021

Huge hug 🤗
