Miscarriage
Well, my last post I shared with you all that after 5 IUIs, I finally got my BFP. I had an early miscarriage. I am not quite sure why I am posting or what I am looking for, but thought I would officially announce it. Did any of you miscarry before having a successful pregnancy. Ugh this process....

I'm so so sorry for your loss.
My first pregnancy, I found out I lost the baby at 12 weeks. 3 months later we went on to get pregnant with Gwen. Miscarriages are horrible, and I wish no one had to go through them.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I had 2 miscarriages when I was younger and was later able to carry our daughter.
So sorry to hear that. MC's are actually very common. My wife and I did 6 IUI's (3 on our own and 3 assisted w/fertility drugs.) During those 6 cycles, I had 2 MC's. One on our very 1st IUI at 7wks (4 days before last Christmas) and then on the 4th cycle - very early. It is unfortunately very common. Most women do not even know that they are MC'ing because they do not know they are pregnant. Now with us same sex parents, we are very purposefully trying to get pg. So we know what is happening every single day of each cycle.
Don't give up hope. After the 6 IUI cycles, we kicked it into a much higher gear and went straight to IVF... which in our case, was successful. Anything is possible. I'm 41 and I produced 11 eggs which yielded 6 perfect embryos! My #'s blew the fertility docs away. ANYTHING is possible girl. Let yourself heal physically and emotionally from this MC and try again. *hugs*
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!

Thanks for the T & P... yes it was the first successful IUI.
Me too... I was looking at your sig and wondered why you have chosen unmedicated. I have gone back and forth, but next cycle I will try clomid. Even if that increases my chances at all, I have to try. Good luck to you!
Thanks much and congrats on your success.
I am healthy, under 35, have no known fertility problems and had no indications that I have any (I did eventually get blood tests to check hormone levels and while slightly irregular, they were not too far away from normal). I know that many women under those circumstances do still medicate given the increased odds (therefore fewer cycles/vials to pay for). I guess I just tend to lean more toward low intervention/low meds as a general life philosophy, and I figured I'd try to make this as "natural' as possible. I'm not crazy about dealing with side effects and I'm a little scared of the prospect of multiples!
Which is not to say that I haven't second-guessed myself along the way! Hence the blood tests, which I pushed for after 2 IUIs. The midwives I go to for IUIs recommended Clomid (based on the test results) for my 4th cycle if the 3rd didn't work; when it didn't, we went to a consult with an RE to see what kind of second opinion we would get. She basically said, "you're healthy, it's totally normal not to be pregnant after 3 cycles, probably everything is fine and I see no reason why you shouldn't continue what you're doing"...but she also said she'd set up more blood tests, an ultrasound and an HSG for this cycle just to make sure. If the test results are good, I will do a 4th unmedicated cycle the same month. If they are not, I will go with whatever treatment they suggest. If #4 doesn't work, I may go on Clomid starting with #5 regardless.

yes. just wrote about it in the other post abt telling the SO about m/c. it was horrid. I did it the natural way too-chinese herbs and no D&C. If there is a next time I would get a D&C. AND I too had a successful, natural and amazing pregnancy and birth with baby girl 3 started trying months after m/c and took 3 more tries with fresh 'known' sperm.
