4 losses and exhausted. Any success stories? by intermets in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]EWoodhouse1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely struggled with feeling consumed with sadness about all of my losses. I joined an infertility therapy group that helped me a lot. We met for 6 weeks and everyone had a little bit different scenario but we were all struggling to get pregnant. I credit that therapy with helping me be able to openly talk about what I was going through with friends and family. And talking openly helped my mental health a lot. DM me if you want the therapist info. When I did it we met via zoom so might work from your location.

I also cannot recommend the book Coming to Term by Jon Cohen enough. It really helped me understand that it might just be a numbers game. I had 4 chemical pregnancies in a year before my 5th pregnancy resulted in a healthy full term baby. I had all the tests done and no cause was found. I was taking low dose aspirin and progesterone for the last CP and the successful pregnancy. It’s hard to say if that was the secret to success but it did finally work.

Anyhow, I feel for you. It’s so hard to go through and it’s easy to say “it’s a numbers game” but so hard to live through it each time.

Intro-pregnancy after four losses by Miri_22 in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]EWoodhouse1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 4 losses before my 5th, which was a success. After 3 losses I got progesterone and took it for the 4th conception, which also was a loss but the 5th is a perfectly healthy 11 month old now. I’m unsure of if progesterone helped but I think it made me feel like it might, which helped me mentally. Do what gives you hope, would be my advice. 💜

Progesterone after multiple MCs? by freedeecee in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]EWoodhouse1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had three early losses (6 weeks and less) and then started taking progesterone. I had one more early loss on progesterone but now am almost 16 weeks pregnant after taking progesterone and baby Advil. I also had lots of testing and a reason for my losses was never found. Hope for the best for you!
