my cousin and his wife just lost their second baby. they were planning on announcing that she was 10 weeks on christmas, but i found out today that she miscarried on christmas morning. this is her second loss in 6 months. so i guess she's not having troubles getting pg, just sustaining a pregnancy. she's older, so this could be a factor. has anyone here had problems like this or know anyone who has? i'm hoping that once they figure out what is causing her to lose the baby there is something they can do to get her to be able to sustain being pg. my heart is just broken for them.

Re: so sad. and question for any ladies who had tttc or miscarriages
It could be something as simple as adding progesterone after ovulation to help sustain the pregnancy. With some tests, it should be fairly simple to figure out what to do next.
That's heartbreaking.

I hope she can check up with her OB for possible answers. Sometimes, sadly, there aren't any. A good friend had 4 losses in between her 1st and 2nd child. It was devestating. The good news is she conceived her 3rd child very easily and kept that baby.
i think she's 40. close to it if she isn't already.
my aunt was 40ish when she had her first children, and had a few m/c's prior. it turns out (as PP said), it was a blood clotting issue. once that was resolved she had no problems with her subsequent two pregnancies.
i'm really happy to hear that. not that your aunt had m/c's - thats tragic - but that she was able to have 2 kids. i really hope that they figure this out soon.
I'm so sorry to hear about her loss.
ON a crummy day too.
?
I had 4 in 1 year. I also had a blood clotting issue called MTHFR. If her OB hasn't suggested alread,y I would recommend a full repeat loss blood panel work up. I also had progesterone issues. If she's AMA, I would start wit ha specialist if she doesn't go to one already.
I'm so sorry for them, that sucks.
I had two miscarriages in 2007 (4 months apart) and my OB ran every test in the book. It was pretty much just shiit luck, so there may be nothing wrong at all with your cousin's wife.
My heart really does go out to them. Those were the worst days of my life.
