HI: i know what you are going thru. I have a 3 1/2 yr old daughter & have been trying the past 2 years. I have had 4 miscarriages under 10 weeks. One thing i highly suggest to anyone who's had a m/c is get the d & C. They put you under and you don't remember or feel anything. I had a D & C with my first and then the 2nd m/c came along-i decided just to wait and see if everything passed-well, 2 weeks later, it didn't. so i had to get one anyways. It's unfortunately the best way to start fresh & you don't have to worry about anything passing. Virtually no recovery-just taking it easy that day of the procedure. No pain-just some bleeding afterwards. 2 of the 4 we were able to test the remains after the D & C-everything came back normal too. I did about 15 blood samples too-again, everything normal---but yea, how could that be- 4 m/c later. Everything is normal. I think it comes down to my age. I'm 38 now. i was 34 with my first.
Oh the brighter side-i am 9 weeks pregnant. Heard the heart beat twice now- another dr appt next week & that will get me to the farthest i've been in the past 4 pregnancies. I did talk to 2 fertility specialists- they both suggested trying lovenox.. i am using lovenox 1 x per day 40 mg and a baby aspirin----so maybe i had some underlying blood clotting issue-no tests determined this but we decided to try it. Maybe talk to one other dr that you are comfortable with. I went to 2 and chose the place i liked the best. Since i carried one child to term that is the main reason why my obgyn wasn't so concerned-he said unfortunately the m/c were bad luck.
RoRo--I know the fear well & i still feel it every day---it's not that exciting yet---i want to get to the 12 week mark and i can get a little more comfortable. but not until this baby is here will i really feel good---it is too bad it has to be this way. But i would say keep trying & try to stay positive. I know it's hard believe me-it's heartbreaking. i hope it all works out for you.

I feel the total opposite then that on a dnc i have had 5 m/c all but one naturally and i only had that one cause the baby had passed and my body would not do it. I am a firm believer that if your body will do it let it cause waht alot of drs dont tell you is that everytime u get a dnc it raises your chances of scar tissue and the tearing of your uturus. which both of these make it hard to carry. Women have been having m/c way before dnc. i did alot of reserch the first time and denied a dnc and yes it hurt and took 2 weeks to do by it self but my body did what it needed to.

hi there, I just had yet again my 5th miscarriage. Now all of my m/c all occur at the 5 week stage. It seem it is not able to attatch. In Nov , I had a laparoscopy done and found out I had Endometriosis and palupes, both were removed as well a DNC was performed. I recently missed my peroid and thought this would be the one!after taking 3 pregnancy tests and all coming up negative, a blood test determined a Hcg level of 61. That was very low and it only reached to 81 after 48 hours, needless to say I m/c and my ob did not have any answers for so I am being referred to a specialist in another city. Is there any hope for me because I am an emotional reck and cannot continue living this rollercoaster life? Has anyone else had m/c at 5 weeks always like myself?

Hello Sandra,
firstly i just want to say how sorry i am for you losses, it is so difficult to cope with. I am in the same boat as you. I have had 7m/c's over the past two years all ending at about 5-6 weeks except one which ended just under 9weeks! I totally can understand how you are feeling, i too am soooo emotional, crying all the time and angry if my mum goes on about my sisters children (not that it's their fault), it's just not fair! My consultant has asked me to try again but take baby asprin which hleps to thin the blood. I hope this works other wise i dont really know wht the answer is. I wondered whether progesterone drugs would help to prepare the womb to help the embryo implant? Do takecare my lovely.
wenXXX.

has any one ever heard of the female being allergic to the husbands sperm??? Sounds so easy but why wouldn't a doctor test for that? Is that possible and if so what can be done to reverse that?

SandraB- I have hear of that but it usually results in the woman being unable to achieve a pregnancy. I haven't heard of having miscarriages because of this. My RE tested for it using his sperm sample and my blood to look for anitbodies against his sperm. I am not sure how they treat that as this was not our issue.

I can't say how sorry I am to read all the heartache we all have gone though, I joined this board today . my story is Im 32 , trying since 2004 and have had 8 miscarriaged.I have PCOS., irregular periods . Had multiple or would say extensive testings done as the clining I go to here is kind of pioneer in Miscarriage testing, All negative. Went through IVf in Jan stopped due to Over stimm, retrieved 12 eggs , all fertilized , froze,. My doc thawed them yesterday for PGD all were perfect until i received a call today. Acoor to doc she and all are just surprised as all 12 of them are not growing.I was asked to wait until tomm less things pick up, but I am so so so Low its even hard to explain. Its almost like hitting the rocks or falling in the pit.

hello smart and bdantonio, I am so sorry for both of your losses. its never ever easy. i guess I should take it as if I had gotten preg and miscarried that would have been horrible. seriously the thought of another one makes me cringe, I hate the sight of blood. anyway. thanks for the advise , I have posted on both dr Jacob and Dr Smith's board.

I'm sorry for your losses. I just had my 5th miscarriage a few days ago. (8.5 weeks along this time). I went through a slew of testing after my 4th miscarriage - even been tested for things I thought were unnecessary. (I have 2 heathy kids in the mix). However, one thing that I was tested for was insulin resistance, which many drs wouldn't have thought of in my case. I'm not overweight, get pg within 4 cycles every time, eat healthy and easily pass glucose tolerance tests. My fasting insulin was way, way too high. So I took the simple act of going on a diabetic diet. I did miscarry again - though the chromosomes are going to be tested. I think it's good to get as many opinions as you can, and even get testing that may not fit your particular case. With each loss, I get more desperate. With each, I'm willing to do more treatments for things that haven't been proven to be problems as just in cases. I feel like I'm grasping at the air most of the time.
