Success stories needed

in Parenting after a Loss
I wanted to hear stories of healthy babies after multiple recurrent miscarriages. Also, I wanted to know if your solution was a simple tweak in vitamins or progesterone supplement? I'm 25 and experienced my 2nd miscarriage this week. We have gotten pg twice in 4 months and lost both at 6 weeks 2 days. It's so hard not to think the extreme and that it will never happen. My ob has referred us to a REI to get testing and I'm hoping we need just a a little tweak.

    I had two pretty much back to back losses in 2011. One in July and one in November. When I got pg this last time, I had my betas and progesterone checked, and my progesterone was on the low side. Either 12 or 13 I think. I was put on progesterone supps, 2

    First, I am so sorry for your lost babies.

    I had a loss in January 2011, then another in June.  I begged my OB for recurrent loss testing and nothing came back (no clotting issues, etc).  I pushed for progesterone testing at the request

    After my loss, I switched doctors and my new doctor told me he felt like it was a progesterone issue and so we'd test it the next time I got pregnant. Sure enough, I have VERY low progesterone (13.4 with DS and 8.7 this pregnancy), and for me, at least

    I am so sorry for your losses. Multiple losses are awful and I understand your fears.

    We had 3 losses within a year. After the third loss I got a complete panel of testing done on myself and DH. Nothing was abnormal except I had one marker f

    I'm so sorry for your losses. I had two losses in May and Dec of '10. The doctor I was seeing at the time didn't think testing was nessicary after "only" (his word, not mine) two MC's. I felt very differently, so I found a new doctor who would take my

    Thank you all for sharing your stories. I really needed to hear them to pull myself out of this and see a light at the end of the tunnel. As devastating as this all is, it's comforting to have women like you around :

    I am so sorry for your losses.  I have been where you are.  As a matter of fact, I was there exactly one year ago today as this is the first anniversary of my second loss.
