Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

so sad. and question for any ladies who had tttc or miscarriages

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.

  • A friend's sister had multiple miscarriages due to a blood clotting disorder. Once they figured out what it was they were able to treat her throughout the pregnancy and she had a healthy baby boy. Sorry for your cousin's loss. :(

  • OU - i hope you're right. i'm sure she has a great doctor and i don't need to tell her to have them run tests, but it's nice to know so i feel like there's hope for them. they would be such great parents.

  • 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.

  • What do you mean by "older" exactly?
  • Sorry! T & P's are being said for them

  • My friend had 2 very early m/c and it was due to progesterone levels. Once they figured it out they gave her supplements and now she is 14 weeks with twins. GL to your family. SO sad for them.

    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.

  • i actually have that blood clotting disorder others have posted about. i happened to go for prenatal testing really early on.. i think i was only like 8 or 9 weeks. the specialist discovered i had clotting in the placenta and put me on a blood thinner right away. we were able to prevent more clotting and thus a m/c. i am extremely thankful to have found out early on. hopefully with testing your friend can get this issue resolved. sorry for her loss :(
  • I don't have anything to add except I'm sorry :(
