Pregnant after a Loss

I don't really belong here but ...

I'm looking for some inspiration. I just had my second m/c this week. My first was back in 2006. I don't have any children and the second m/c happened from our first cycle of TTC.
I'm horrified that now that I have two m/c's, my chances of every having a normal pregnancy are diminishing. I'm just kind of looking for success stories to get me through the day I suppose. I don't meet with my Dr. until Tues. so, I don't really know anything about the cause yet. I haven't had much bleeding or cramping yet except for last night. I had normal menstrual like cramps and did pass one clot. Other than that, this has been a painfully slow process. TIA!

Re: I don't really belong here but ...
I am so so sorry for your losses. Please take care of yourself this weekend.
I have only had one m/c and it took me 9 months afterwards to get pregnant, but I am here.
I really hope you get some answers.

I am so sorry. ?My second was much harder than my first and still the hardest one I went through. ?There are a lot of reasons that this happens more than once and many can be treatable, so definitely start with RPL testing. ?I'm an extreme and fall in less than 1% of the population, so hopefully my history isn't too scary. ?There are actually three other women on the boards right now who have had five losses and are pregnant. ?Three of us are in the late second/early third tri. ?There are many more people on here who have had 1-3 losses and are pregnant or have already become moms.
I did find with testing that it was a lot of trial and error and with each loss they uncovered something different. ?It was a very long, difficult process. ?I wish you all the best.
I'm so sorry for your losses! I've also had 2 m/c - one a blighted ovum, and one chem pg. No matter how many losses you have, it's never easy. Allow yourself some time to grieve.
I am currently pregnant, and due to give birth any day now. There is definitely hope for the future, and this board is full of women who have been where you are and are having healthy pregnancies now. If you have questions, press your doctor for answers. Unfortunately, there isn't always a reason - mine was just a run of bad luck. ((hugs))
I know it's hard because your loss is so recent, but the women on here are completely inspirational. I had a c/p last year in Oct., and even though I wasn't expecting it, it only took two natural cycles to get BFP again. Of course I was nervous that my body was just playing a trick on me...it took until the 40th day of my cycle to get a BFP, and then I have to wait until almost mid-Jan to see a doc. The whole time I almost couldn't believe I was actually pregnant until I went to that first appointment, esp. b/c I had light spotting on and off the whole time. But everything has turned out perfectly since then, and I feel so lucky.
It will happen for you...sorry for your losses. I know it doesn't help this early, but my MIL told me after the c/p that her first miscarriage was devastating, but she realized after my husband (her first child) was born that if she had not misscarried the first baby, she would never have gotten pg with my husband. I feel the same way now...I know the child I'm carrying wouldn't be here if not for that first experience.
I'm so sorry for both your losses. I am blessed to be carrying my 2nd pregnancy to term, so I can't relate 100% to your situation. I just wanted to offer my encouragement that even though you've weathered two losses now, and even though it may feel like your chances are decreasing, in reality I don't think they are. Ask your doctor to be sure, but there are plenty of ladies on here who have suffered 2 or more losses and still gone on to have healthy children.
I know right now the situation seems bleak. I just wish for you to endure and heal as best you can from this fresh loss. And as irritating as it sounds right now, hopefully one day you'll look back on this and know that "This too shall pass."
Again, I'm so sorry for your losses.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Last I saw, you were still in limbo... I'm so sorry that you lost this little one.
Believe it or not, many sources I've found say that even after two miscarriages, your chance of a healthy pregnancy is still just as good as the first time. I'm sure that it's hard to hear you could have "just bad luck" twice, but don't give up hope for the future - you do still have a good chance of having a healthy pg.
Big hugs to you right now...
I am so sorry for your loss. Don't give up hope, though, since you've had 2 m/c. There are plenty of women who have repeat m/c and there's no real reason. I had a m/c before DD, and then one in Jan. Testing was done and there was nothing wrong with the baby, so we have no idea why I lost it. It took us a few months to get pg again, but here we are and all I can do is be hopeful.
Best wishes to you and I hope you get some answers. And keep in mind all of the success stories- it can be a tough road, but there's a light at the end for so many people.
I'm so sorry for your losses.
I had one missed m/c mid 1st Tri and after a year of trying finally became pg for the 2nd time. I am happily almost halfway through this pregnancy.
Don't give up, I know its hard and it hurts but there is hope...this board proves that on a number of levels.
Missed m/c 2/29/08; D&C 3/5/08
