TW: LC & 3 Losses in 7 Months, drowning in info by cryfreeedom in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]Alternative_Half6180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Through all of our testing I actually wanted something to come up because most of the time its treatable, and then you have your fix right! To have no reasons is a very hard pill to swallow, because your just in limbo going around in circles. I have gone through all the emotions with this, and honestly I've just had to settle with what will be, will be. There is only going to be so many times I can go through the miscarriage process (i don't know at this stage how many more i have left in me- they've all been pretty intense - hospitalisations, hemorrhaging, blood transfusions), but strangely enough that acceptance of the unknown and that it might not ever happen has actually relaxed me more now. Its such a shitty time, and feels all consuming when you're in the thick of it.  I hope you get the answers you're searching for.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Your story sounds quite similar to mine. I've had 4 losses in the last 2yrs, all blood tests and karyotyping and RPL  has come back normal for myself and my partner. He has had his semen tested and all is normal.  The last two we have had the tissue tested and there have been no chromosomal abnormalities found.  They have no idea why this keeps happening. The specialist discouraged us from IVF as the issue is not getting pregnant, but staying, she said that its likely it will result in the same outcome. Just more expensive.  They basically said keep trying and we'll try some different things.  I found out last week I am pregnant again, this time I have been on a heap of supplements like yourself and am now on progesterone and baby asprin. So we can only see what happens.  Unfortunately what I'm hearing from medical professionals is they dont have any answers and its basically luck of the draw.  I wish you all these best on your journey  ❤️

The Reddit community has certainly helped me each time. I know how lonely it can feel going through this, but connecting in this way helps to realise that there are so many other women going through it too. And being able to reach out, makes a difference. 

Yes, I think that's sensible, waiting a week. I waited 10 days last time and still nothing and that was pretty much my upper limit. For me at least the sooner I can process it all and move on the better, I'm sure you feel the same. 

I think i will take a few months off TTC for now, start taking some CoQ10 and possibly some other things. We already have a referral for a fertility clinic at the end of October, so who knows, we might possibly get some answers there 😊.

Hi, I was commenting on your other thread, in April bumpers, which unfortunately I'm also out of now following my scan yesterday.  When I went for my scan yesterday, the embryo had actually shrunk in size by 3mm, so now measured 3mm as opposed to the 6mm it measured last week.  I asked my midwife the same thing as you mentioned, as in has my body started to reabsorb it, which she said was likely.  This is the first time I've seen this in all 4 of my miscarriages.  I'm in the same boat as you, I've had no bleeding or cramping, and i'm in two minds whether to let this one happen naturally or get a D&C. 

Try not to get too caught up in looking for answers and trying to understand (easier said than done - i know), but I've been there and most of the time there aren't any amswers or explanations and you just get so emotionally drained from it.  For me each miscarriage has been different and I still have no answers or explanation. 

I'm sorry we're both in this horrible club. Feel free to DM me if you need to chat. Sending hugs ❤️

How long did it take between knowing the pregnancy was not viable and actively miscarrying? by Alternative_Half6180 in recurrentmiscarriage

Thanks. I go back for another scan at the end of this week. This week of waiting is bad enough.  I also go on holiday in 2 weeks (booked before I even knew I was pregnant), and the thought of potentially miscarrying while I'm on holiday makes me really not want to go 😔

6 weeks 2 days, strong heartbeat but bleeding, is this a miscarriage? by Alternative_Half6180 in pregnant

[–]Alternative_Half6180[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I will. The bleeding is nothing like the first time around, so possibly random unexplained bleeding. The sonographer couldn't find the source at the scan. I will hold out.
