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.

Congratulations!!! Your story is such an amazing one! Trying so many times and never giving up and now you finally have your gift!
Are you doing any treatments with this pregnancy? Did you do anything different this time around? Any supplements or injections?

I just found out last Friday that I'm on my way to a 3rd consecutive m/c. I had the first m/c at 6 weeks (started bleeding); the 2nd m/c we went for 8 wk ultrasound and baby had stopped growing at 7 wk 4 days (waited 3 wk after that to m/c on my own and it was a nightmare....ended up in the hospital and loosing a lot of blood). After 2nd m/c we did all the basic testing (I guess), however doc said there was nothing wrong and to try again. So now, another m/c on the way! This time at 8 wk we found an empty sac. It's just so frustrating!!!

It seems like I should look for a fertility specialist- that's what my ob/gyn is recommending as our next step.....

I just wanted to say Congrats!! Your story sounds so much like my own... We have had 8 losses (5 mc before 6 weeks, 1 blighted ovum and 1 ectopic) and are now pregnant with our 9th. We have seen a healthy heartbeat at 6 weeks and just had our 10 week ultrasound where we got to see our baby's little arms and legs moving around with a heart rate of 171!! So, congrats and I wish the best for you and your family!!

It is so good to hear success stories, I just had my 2nd MC, 1st in Nov 11.  I have a 1.5 year old that was delivered at 33w.  I am super fustrated as I am healthy and only 29 years old. My doc says my hubby and I can do testing if we want to, but doesn't seem very supportive. Just keeps saying that it shouldn't happen again...heard that story before. I have to wait for my levels to drop before she will discuss any testing, I know it is likely that nothing will be found, but it can't hurt to check it out, right.  I am planning on using low dose aspirin prior to and throughout my next pregnancy, whether out not she suggests it.  I just dont know what else to do.

I had two miscarriages back to back and freaked out in the dr.'s office b/c I was 32 and healthy and there was NO reason for this.  I was referred for testing and they found a blood clotting issue where my blood was too thick and was told to take baby aspirin.  I now have two healthy children and my pregnancies (with baby aspirin) were uneventful and otherwise normal! I say take it - it's helped me and many others. Best of luck.
