Miscarried

[bettyjane11]

Im 17, my boyfriend and i have been pregnant twice, but miscarried both times, dont judge me please. ive been on the depo shot since i was 15. anyway we used protection most of time, but we are getting married next year after he comes home from basic training. and ive heard that miscarring can make getting pregnant later in life difficult.. is this true? my mom miscarried three times before she and my dad finally got pregnant, do you think this could have any effect on it?

Thanks in advance for helping

yes, i am a senior in high school. my boyfriend is going to officer training school next year, i am going to go to Paul Mitchell after i graduate in may.  we have talked about what is going to happen once we get pregnant, and im going to work up until the baby comes then i am just going to stay at home.  I have three jobs, he works as well. i know there is alot to think about, but we dont plan on getting pregnant until we are settled into our marriage and his job and such.  thanks everyone =)

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriages. One possible reason why, is because you are using birth control, which makes the uterus not very 'friendly' for fertilized eggs and your body is rejecting any pregnancy you may have. Talk to your doctor before trying for a family, as it is always a good idea to get a clean bill of health before becoming pregnant. Also, are you in school? Going to college after high school? Are you working? Do you have money saved up? Are you going to be home to watch the baby when you do get pregnant? There's a lot to think about before starting a family. Having a baby is a major life changing experience and should be very well thought out. There is no rush to start a family, you have many years ahead of you to do that.

hi there just a little more input.. if you were on contraception during the time you got pregnant of just before you did. then that alone could cause you to misscarry as your body is unable to sustain a pregnancy for awhile after due to the hormone levels and also the lining of your womb isnt thick enough to hold on to a pregnancy. this happens quite alot to women .. when you are ready to try again my advise would be to give your body some time after coming off contraception maybe a few months or so just to get hormone levels back to normal.. just my opinion.. hope all turns out as you want.

Well, miscarrying can be hereditary. As well as keeping in mind there are many causes too. But if you are really concerned that it passed down in the genes from your parents, i would advice seeing a genetic counselor when you and your  partner are actually planning to start your family. And depending on what is causing the repeated lose of pregnancies, yes it may cause getting pregnant in the future a little more difficult. So it would be good for you to see a g.counselor like i said earlier, to know exactly what is going on, to prevent future failed pregnancies and to avoid getting emotionally depressed due to the cause of losing a pregnancy.
