Successful Pregnancy after Multiple Miscarriages?

[JLK0707]

Has anyone suffered multiple miscarriages and then gone on to have a successful pregnancy without having any tests or taking any meds?  I have had 2 miscarriages and my doctor refuses to do any testing until after the third loss.  He has also told me that he won't perscribe any progesterone, baby aspirin, etc until after a third loss because he still thinks that the 2 previous m/c could just be a fluke.  I am terrified to try again because I just feel like it will end in m/c and I am so angry at my doctor for not doing anything to help me...I can't even get a second opinion because I live in a small town with only one medical clinic.  I guess I am looking for success stories from women who have been in the same situationa and have gone on to have a successful pregnancy without any medical assistance.  Thanks ladies in Advance.

hi all,

all of your posts are so sad and hopefully most of you have gone on to have successful pregnancys now. I want to offer a little bit of hope for anyone who reads this thread.

I have had 2 miscarriages, the 1st one at 13 weeks (actually a mmc)in april 2008 and the second at 8 weeks in october 2008, the baby had died at 5 though. I am currently nearly 23 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl and i have not had any sort of medical intervention, altho a change in partner may have something to do with! :D

In the begining of this pregnancy I had bleeding and cramping and feared the worst, but thankfully she held on (so please dont fear the worst, just because it happened before doesnt mean its going to happen again). so I just want to let you know that there is hope, a lot of hope! I cannot not wait to meet my girl in february and i still worry that something will go wrong, as theres always the possibility til the end, but i am keeping the faith (with the help of my doppler!) and so far so good (touch wood!)

I will pray for you all!

Reading these comments are so heartbreaking even the ones that are several years old!  I have had two m/c and am 6 weeks pregnant again, I go for u/s on 10-20 and am terrified of not seeing a healthy pregnancy! I have 3 healthy children and always took my pregnancies for granted until I lost one, then another...I have greater compassion now for those who have not had a healthy pregnancy because it is unbearable, I hope God sees fit to allow us to have this child, I will not take one for granted any more that is for sure!

I am still in disbelief how common miscarriage is.  Unfortunately, I just experienced my 1st M/C at 18wks 3days on 10-2-10.  A couple of weeks ago at the dr. the ultrasound indicated that my husband and I were having a healthy baby boy.  I haven't had any testing done yet.  However, I am positive that one day we will be blessed with children.  I still believe and trust that God knows best and now we have a little angel watching over us.  My heart goes out to other women who have experienced this heart ache.

Thank you all for sharing! i feel for everyone here as i've gone thru this myself.
I've had 3 miscarriages in the past 4 years. All passed naturally.
After the 2nd miscarriage, they did some testing and they found factor v lyden ( blood clotting) and so for my 3rd pregnancy i took baby aspirin while trying to get pregnant and during pregnancy along with injections of lovenox once i got pregnant.  i miscarried at 8 weeks and no heartbeat because the baby stopped developing.  I lost all hope after that. But i got right back up and realized i would regret it the rest of my life if i didnt try again. So now i am 36 years old and have been trying to get pregnant for the past 4 months . I think if  it doesnt work this time, i will go for IVF. I also have a fibroid 5 cm . i went to a number of doctors, and some say i should take it out and some say leave it cause there could be a lot of bleeding  with surgery. So we're trying again hoping it works this time withthe baby aspirin and lovenox. i am keeping my fingers crossed.
God bless u all and thanks again for sharing. Dont give up!!

hopefull

Firstly, I'm really sorry for everyones lose. I have had 2 miscarriages recently, my first was in nov' 2009 @ 5 wks my second @ 3-5 wks in jan 2010. I have had 2 beautiful girls, ages 3 and 4, and I couldn't be more happy with them, but my husband and I had decided that we would be ready to have one more and complete our family. However, I am terrified to try again and risk losing this one again. I am overweight, was diagnosised with anxiety/depression in january after my 2nd miscarriage. I have been working out at my local gym in an effort to get to a healthier weight, I quit smoking in january, and I am being tried for the anxiety/depression.

I had my first D&C in March of 09 at 8 weeks and my second D&C in August of 09 at 7 weeks. With both pregnancies the ultrasound confirmed that the heart beat died just shortly after the 6th week. I'm going this week for my first ultrasound which i will be 7 weeks along and have so much anxiety. I keep having dreams that they find an empty sac and no baby or that they find another failed heart beat. After my 2nd miscarriage my doctor performed chromosone testing on the fetus after the D&C and sent me to a specialist for a boat load of testing. The testing results were bittersweet as in they found nothing. Don't get me wrong; I'm happy they found nothing but at the same time I wanted to hear "here is the problem and here is our solution."

Has anyone out there been through the testing to confirm nothing and have a successful pregnancy after multiple miscarriages? This is getting so hard and I'm finding myself distancing myself from many of my close girlfriends as I just can't bare to hear them talk about their children or successful pregnancies. I'm praying I don't experiance a 3rd lose; but am having a hard time staying postive. Could really use some help.
