2 M/C in 3 months :(

I am a mom to 3 wonderful children. I had all of my children in my 20's and never had a m/c that I know of. During my third pregnancy, I spotted a little and even thought I was having my cycle. I did not know I was pregnant. When my cycle was very light and weird, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. During my 8th week, I began bleeding brown and red blood. I thought I was having a m/c and freaked out!  An ultrasound showed a tear at the top of my uterus where there was old blood trapped at the top of my uterus. My son was down lower and attached more to the side of my uterus. They said that either he had a twin that did not make it, or the placenta moved. He was born at 36 weeks. I developed toxemia with all 3 of my pregnancies but not until the end of the third trimester. Other than the toxemia, my pregnancies were healthy. At 31, we decided to try for our 4th child, 3 weeks later In February 2010 I took a home PG test and it was positive! I took 3 more that week and they slowly got darker positive. 28 days into my cycle on February 28th, I began to spot. I got a blood test and my HCG was 14.3, A few days later it was 0. I was told I had an early m/c. They did an U/s and found 5 follicles in my right ovary and a corpus lutem cyst in my left ovary. The bleeding lasted about a week and a half and was very painful. We took a break from TTC until I had my period in March. We started to try again right after and became pregnant again right away. This time the pregnancy test came back hugely positive a week and a half before my period was due and without full morning urine. I took 10 tests in 2 days! I was paranoid and checked my BBT every morning, each morning it was 99.2. 28 days into my cycle, I woke up at 4 am dizzy and my heart pounding, I felt really sick. I Checked my temp and it had dropped to 97,8 which usually happens when my period is coming. I went to the bathroom and had started red streaking in my CVM. I knew I was having another M/C. My blood test showed hcg at 18.6, 2 days later 0. I had another m/c. My doctor has advised that she does not know what is causing it and thinks we may be getting pregnant with multiples. If there is something wrong with one of the babies, then it can threaten the whole pregnancy. She told us to wait 2 normal cycles, then TTC again. She said she will do blood work to check my progesterone and do frequent U/S to keep an eye on the pregnancy. I am so nervous I want another baby but I am so scared of the sadness of another m/c. She said my case is rare because my body is dumping the HCG so quickly. Has anyone ever heard of this or have any insight? Thanks in advance

I'm sorry for your losses.  I had a healthy daughter in my early 20's and 3 years later decided to try for another.  I had 1 early m/c at 5 weeks, a chemical pregnancy, so the hcg was out of my system fairly quickly because though I got a definite positive test it never went very high. I got pregnant 4 months later and found it was a blighted ovum at 12 weeks.  My hcg was never monitored after that loss.  4 months later I got pregnant again and gave birth to another healthy girl 3 months after my 30th birthday.  Dr.s are not usually very proactive and wait until after 3 consecutive losses to do any kind of testing.  It ***** when all you hear is bad luck.  Everyone wants answers so we can know how to prevent it next time. In my case it was just bad luck, and I hope that is the case for you, and that your next pregnancy is a long healthy 9 months!

Hi! I'm so sorry for your losses. I have endured a total of 5 losses. I have 3 healthy children, 2 of my losses, 1 chemical and 1 ectopic where I lost my tube, all happened before I got pg with my 3rd son. I lost a son in Oct of 2008 at 5 months along, had a chemical pg in Dec. 2009 and recently had a m/c at 5 weeks. With my chemical pg in Dec. I tested positive at cd17 which is very early, I spotted uuntil cd28 when I got a full blown AF, if I didn't test so early I would have never known I was pg. I was never told to wait so I just continue on. I had my post m/c appointment and i'm going to have some b/w to see if they can determine what is causing my losses. I'm also very nervous, but very determined. I wish luck and hope all goes well with your next pregnancy.
