recurrent miscarriage

I'm dealing with my fourth miscarriage. I'm desperate to know why this keeps happening. Each time I've experience a pinching pain very low in pelvic region. I imagine it's my ovaries because it occurs mainly on the right but sometimes on the left. It isn't constant, it comes and goes. It's not sharp or sudden. It's like a dull ache or pinch. I begin to feel it around 6 weeks. As well for each miscarriage, I've had a sharp pain on the left lower pelvic region, that kind of stops me in my tracks and I can't move for a minute or two. I've had three doctors who say it's unrelated to my pregnancy loss but I think it is. With my first miscarriage I had an ultrasound where everything was fine. The next day I had this searing pain and then the following morning I miscarried. I'm just wondering if any of this sounds familiar to anyone? I am hoping to convince my doctor or some doctor to investigate somehow... maybe larposopy.

Dear Longing,

I recently purchased 2 books through Amazon.com - one called, 'Avoiding Miscarraige' by Susan Rousselot and 'Trying Again: A Guide to Pregnancy after Miscarriage, Stillborn and Infant Loss' by Ann Douglas, John Sussman and Deborah Davis.
I've just started reading 'Avoiding Miscarriage' and finding it helpful so far. There are many women's stories I can identify with (as going through the aftermath of my miscarriage now) and want answers plus the knowledge what I can do to avoid it next time. You might want to give it a try as it might give you ideas and hope for next time. Good luck and take care.

that book by susan rousselot is awesome, the best i have read. i would like to know more about the pain too, since i had something similar this time. it was in the area of my ovary on the right, and stayed on the right side. i will watch this topic and see if others have had it.
i had another experience that was much weirder: when i get pregnant, i lose all interest in sex. but with each of my miscarriages, i had a dream about sex just before the baby was lost. i don't remember ever having such a dream while i was pregnant with my living child.
anyone else?

Well... I hesitate to say anything here, because I don't want you to think I've got any "real" answers for you. But, I've also had four losses (and no living children). Each pregnancy has been quite painful. I was assured this was just "normal" and nothing to be concerned with. All happened before 15 weeks. I had a laparoscopy done about 3 weeks ago, where they found stage 3/4 endometriosis. I had really bad adhesions on the left side of my uterus, that were stuck to the uterus, tube, ovary, a little to the rectum, and to the abdominal wall. The doctor says that this "shouldn't" have caused the miscarriages - and yet, she also says that the surgery should work with the progesterone and aspirin to prevent any "abnormal" future losses. I had NO idea I might have endo until a couple months before the surgery. Might be something for you to look into...?

yes i had that too. i think its your body preparing for the release. i was told a miscarriage is much like labor in the mannerisms your body responds with. im not sure why your doctor wouldnt mention that but you do dialate when they pass. to my knowledge that is. dont quote me. one thing to consider if you havent is blood type. im AB- & that was part of my complication. any negatives can attack the unborn babies cells causing a loss if you are negative & your partner is not. there is a shot called Rhogam to temporarily prevent this occurance & give your next baby a clean slate. other things to look into are uterous related. I have an aunt who not carry children due to a thick lining. what do you know about it so far?

I'm sorry for your loss. I have had 3 miscarriages and have no children yet. I did have some pain with my miscarriages but I was told it was because my body was getting ready to get expell the baby. I was also told that after 3 miscarriages you should definitely look into why you are miscarrying. I am very surprised your Dr. isn't looking this. I would definitely look into the larposcopy and also there are many autoimmune and clotting issues that can cause miscarriage. Most of them have easy fixes and can be determined by taking a simple blood test. After my 3rd miscarriage, I went to a fertility clinic. They recently found out that I have a clotting disorder. They are hopeful that if I get pg again and take blood thinners the bady should be ok. I would definitely explore every avenue and try to find out the causes of your miscarriages. I've definitely gotten some peace of mind having an answer to my problem. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I will keep you in my prayers. If you ever need talk, I'm here. Good Luck!
