Hello all ...
I never could have imagined that 2 1/2 years ago when my super sweet d/h and I decided to begin our journey to becoming parents that it would bring so much heartache. Last night, I had my fourth m/c. Our LO stayed with us for almost 10 1/2 weeks. It was so wonderful to be pregnant during the holidays and d/h and I decided to keep it to ourselves until about 10 weeks. We had planned to tell our families this weekend or so. Now we can tell them instead our very sad news. I am dreading going to the doctor tomorrow to confirm that the m/c is complete. I just want tomorrow to be over and crawl in bed and hide ( where I've been since yesterday ). I still hope and pray that I will one day have a LO to hold in my arms but as I am "advanced maternal age" that dream is slowly dying with each angel we send to heaven. I am numb and still hold out slight hope that we will have our dream come true. This board has always been a comfort to me in the past. I am so sorry we all have to be here but so grateful for the support and warmth of all the amazing ladies on this board. Big hugs to you all !!!

I am so sorry for your recurrent painful experiences. I hope that your OB is giving you the full evaluation you deserve. If not, it may be time to see someone new who can help you.
So very sorry for you pain. You are not alone.
Thank you all for your warm words and support. After the second m/c we had loads of tests done and all they could find was I had MTHFR. As my homocysteine levels were normal I only take extra folic acid for that. I do have some fibroids but the doctors do not think that is causing my problems. My doctors just blame my age and say to keep trying. As I have recently moved I will be switching doctors soon. Maybe a fresh perspective might help us. OR maybe they are right, I am just "old" :-(
