Living With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Community Group
This support group is for women, who have lived through two or more pregnancy losses in a row. Our pregnancies were our hope, our love and our dreams. This is a place to cry and laugh.
I can't stop crying. I am going through my 3rd miscarriage this year. We have no children yet. I am 33 and feel my clock is ticking. Most of our friends have finished having kids or have just started. I feel left out and that there is no hope. The odds of 3 in a row is low. It makes me so angry! After 2 MC, saw specialist and thought this time would be different. But, it was not. My numbers are way down and I started bleeding today. I was about 5-5 1/2 weeks. Specialist removed a uterine polyp, put me on Levoxyl (thyroid just slightly high but don't want it up even slightly if have risk od MC), and discoved I have a luteal phase defect. I always had a feeling this was the reason d/t my cycles. The luteal phase defect was what he thought most likely caused the 2 previous losses. All the other labs, everything you could be tested for were normal. My husband and I thought we were actually pretty healthy. I started my progesterone suppositories after ovulation and was pregnant the 1st month we started trying again. I tried not to get as excited this time around but was trying to be positive, thinking we had a good handle on everything. Then this happened. I was shocked when i realized I was going to MC for 3rd time, more numb. But, now, just a few hours later I am a mess! Trying to not get excited has not made me feel any better. I have starting all over and possibly trying new treatments. Everyone around me is pregnant, many not planned, and I can't stand it! Anyone else in a similar situation?
Wow...our storied sound very similiar. I am so sorry that you are going though this. I know exactly how you feel. I also suffered 3 consecutive miscarriages this past year, all back to back, just turned 34 and have no children. Aftr he 2nd one, we got all te blood work doen and eerything seemed fine. The 3rd time around, the dr put me on progesterone as a precautionary measure, even though she never tested me for my levels, which I still don't get. We heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks, which was futher along than I had been previously. The day after thanksgiving, I started spotting brown and had noticed my symptoms had decreased and I just knew. So, we went in and baby had just stopped at 9 weeks.
After this m/c, they did more blood work and also a chromosome test on my husband and I which of course was fine. I just know there is something not right. I was put in contact with a fertility dr who is retired, who referred me to an OB in town. They or fourse have not called me back. I just feel like I am alone, no one to turn to, and even the people who know of my situation, feel not supported. I just found out that my younger sister is preganant with her 3rd child, and I literally cried for 2 days when I found out. Sorry to ramble! Please, email me if you want to chat more and hang in there...:)
I am sorry for your loss. I am a mess too. I fake it very well when people are around but when I am alone the sadness just takes over.
I have taken every test you can think of as well, all have come back normal which frustrates me to no end. After this last miscarriage we started seeing a fertility specialist and again more tests, which have again come back normal. I am also on the progesterone suppositories a week after ovulation. I am entering my 3rd month of trying this method. No pregnancy yet.
I just want an answer, I am sick of the doctors telling me it might be just a bit of bad luck. Seriously, 4 times bad luck??? I refuse to believe that! I tend to be a solutions driven person, gotta have an answer for everything and the fact that I don't have an answer for this makes me angry and more sad. I would rather be told I will never have kids then be told they don't know why this keeps happening.
Everyone around me is pregnant too, literally. My two girlfriends just had their babies. My sister-in-law is due in November, my brother's girlfriend is due in August, my husband's cousin in September. Even seeing a complete stranger whose pregnant just breaks my heart.
I am so sorry you are going through this and I know how you feel. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to send me a message at anytime. Hugs to you. :)
Good luck to you, I hope answeres are found soon.
