I've had four miscarriages in the last two years that have all been "unexplained". I've had the whole battery of standard tests - all normal or no red flags so we are officially "unexplained". I am if anyone out there has been in the same situation. I am trying to figure out what to do. Where do I go from here? One thing that my doctor says may or may not be a factor is a pain I get once I'm around five weeks along. It is not constant but it feels like my ovaries are being pinched or squeezed. I'm not sure if it is my ovaries but that is the location and it only occurs when I'm pregnant - around five or six weeks. My doctor said perhaps it's some scar tissue that is irritated as my uterus grows but it wouldn't affect the pregnancy. Since I didn't have this with my first pregnancy - my only successful pregnancy I am suspicious that it is somehow related. This pain only occurs when I'm pregnant. So anyone with similar pain? Anyone else with this "unexplained" dead end??

Hi,
I too have had 4 m/c and it is very hard to deal with. After my 3rd, I read a book called "Coming to Term" and it really helped me understand more about miscarriage and what I could do in the future. So I started taking b12 and a baby asprin every day, low and behold I got pg, and carried my little guy to term! He turned 1 last weekend.
However, I did have another miscarriage (my 4th) last month. it is devestating. But this time, I think it was a combo of drigs my Dr had me on. I dont know if I am right about this, but I won't take anything but my progesterone next time.

Can you go to a good high risk pregnancy doctor? After several miscarriages, my sister was given IV antibiotics every 6 months for 2 years, she then went on to have 2 healthy children.

I haven't personally had four miscarriages or the pain you experience when you are pregnant. However, a friend of mine had several miscarriages and pregnancy complications. She was refered to a high risk obstetrician. I believe that since you say that you had a perfectly normal first pregnancy and that this pain you are having happens at the same time every pregnancy since you had your first child, seeing a high risk specialist might be helpful. Also, I've recenly learned that thier are several things you can do do increase your rate of fertility and decrease your chance of miscarriage. I can't remember all of them off hand, but I do know that increasing certain vitamins and limiting your alcohol consumption before trying to concieve are two of the steps that were suppose to help women avoid miscarriage.

I have had 2 consecutive miscarriages and my OBGYN is sending me to an infertility specialist. The infertility doctors also help treat miscarriage. You may want to try it. It certianly won't hurt anything. :)

I have had a similar pain when I was pregnant and now it is back though I am not pregnant now. Our Fertility specialist thinks it has to do with my bowels since my uterus etc... looks good. I am going to see my family doctor about it soon...I am afraid that I might have to see a GI specialist. at the moment I am watching what I eat to make sure that it is not too fatty, or has refine sugar or white flour.
