You did absolutely nothing wrong - miscarriages are far more common than most think, and many of us have suffered through one or more. I had one at 7 weeks last fall and it was devestating; we had been ttc and it was our first. We waited a month and then started trying again and conceived without any problems - I am now 15w3d and baby is very healthy and strong, and we're doing great!! Going through my mc was the hardest thing I've had to deal with emotionally, but it is a natural part of life and please know you didn't do anything to cause it. However, you will want to talk to your doctor about possible tests he/she can do - some women have issues w/progesterone, some w/imcompetent uterus, there are many things that may have contributed to the mc but nothing you did intentionally. Best of luck to you!

I had two back to back - both very early at about 4/5 weeks. I took home HPTs and they were positive but then I'd start bleeding before I could even get to the dr's office...  I was devistated and it's hard for others to comprehend b/c it's physically happening to YOU.  In my case the cause was a blood issue - they did a bunch of testing and found my blood is too thick so I take baby aspirin and am 25 weeks pregnant!  I wish you good luck for the future and am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. I lost our 2nd child at 10.5 weeks. The u/s that week showed healthy baby with no reason for spotting, by the end of the week my child was gone. It is nothing you do it is just the instructions don't always work out properly.  When you think about the amazing way one cell becomes two and so on then make a baby it is a miracle.  One in four pregnancies will end in miscarriage. I was pregnant and so were 3 other friends of mine, I was the one that lost the baby.  Believe that sometimes it is Gods way of not allowing your child to suffer with medical problems once they are born.  

I pray to my baby every day to protect their older brother, younger brother and sibbling on the way.

God bless you and your family at this time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently just had a m/c my 2nd one and no one really knows why it happens. It's very common and there isn't anything you can do to prevent it. I'm trying again this week to hopeuflly get prego again. I already have a beautiful 4 year old daughter so my DH and I are really excited to try for another little one. Good luck! Hope all goes well for you!

Hello,

I am very sorry to hear that.  I had a chemical pregnancy which is sort of like a miscarriage before you know that you are even pregnant.  My doctor suggested that I take vitamin B6 at least 100mg and baby asprin to strenghten the uterus lining.  I have been using both for 2 months now and will start to try and TTC again using Preseed and Instead Softcups.
