We've been trying to have a baby and have gotten pregnant 5 times in a one year period. We have no problem conceiving but I can't seem to carry. Is there anything I can do to help my body carry a baby? Is there pills I need to go on after having a miscarriage to "clean my system out"? Is something wrong with me?

I would definitely get a check up with your gyno! It sounds like you may have a little problem with your uterous. It could be some fibroid tumors. Those are non- cancerous little growths so don't be alarmed! They can be removed through your vagina with a laproscope and you'll be making babies in no time. It could also be that your hormone levels just aren't up enough to carry a baby to full term. In that case, your doctor will give you a series of hormone shots. It could also be your blood type. If your blood type is a negative RH factor and your husband's is a possitive, this problem can occur. There are many things that can be at fault. You would get shots for that also to keep the baby. So you just have to see your gynocologist to find out what is going on! Everything will be fine you will see. You'll be holding a baby in no time!

None of us can really say what the problem is. There can be many things. Theres a certain hormone called progesterone. It helps you carry the baby full term. If your levels arent where they need to be, you will definately miscarry.
A solution for this is easy (I know from surrent experience). Your doctor will suggest either progesterone shots every 3 days or soppositories to take twice daily for a month. THEY HELP ALOT!
It can also be that you just need a little rest. Go through 3 straight cycles (3months) to let your body ajust to not being pregnant and then try again. Sometimes getting pregnant back to back is stressful on your body.
In any case, see a doctor and they should be able to help. GOOD LUCK!

I have the same problem. I miscarried twice at 7 weeks along (within 8 months) & I requested bloodwork (normally they do bloodwork after 3 miscarriages, but because I requested it they did it ASAP). Found out I have a Mild Mutation of my Enzymes (needed to double my prenatals while TTC) & I also have a Thyroid problem. My Thyroid is slightly elevated & that could cause miscarriages also. Now I'm on Synthroid medication for that & the doctors said that should help.

you need to talk to your ob/gyn about this. if you are wanting to concieve they need to know- so that they can tell you if your body is in ample shape to handy carrying a baby BEFORE you become pregnant. So before you get pregnant again, goto the doctor and tell them your plans. ask them if your body is in good shape. it could be something like your horomones being off track- and pills/supplements (fertility therapy) will help. If you have a problem with your uterus/ovaries/or the actual eggs you are dropping, they should also be able to tell. You should have been to a doctor by now- surely after the miscarriages ?? If not, you should go in afterwards so that they can give you a d/c if needed, and find out exactly what is causing this.

I cannot believe that the doctor has not counseled you on this. I also had 5 miscarriages and it turned out to be from a high prolactin level. But there are so many reasons, hormonal, genetic and structural that could be causing this problem, please see a genetic counselor or infertility doctor. They can evaluate the problem and help you carry the baby to term. Good luck and I am sorry for your losses!

Dont worry to much and never put yourself down like you are. My friend has the same problem, please go and explain your situation to a GP/doctor and see what they can do for you. Maybe you just need to stay in bed for a few weeks and relax/chill out. You have not stated when you miscarry but maybe stay in bed for two weeks after you normal miscarry. Im so sorry to hear you and your hubby are going through this stress full time in your life. Im sure the doctors could help in some way. Good luck and I really do hope things turn out for the best. Dont stress too much I know its easy for me to say but try not too.

Your RH factor might have affected your child bearing capabilities.
Or maybe there's something wrong with your uterus.
These are one of the reasons why you aren't successful in having a child.
You should go to an obgyn to check on this concern...

This happened to a friend recently. She found out after the 3rd miscarriage that she did not have enough of the hormones needed to support a pregnancy. She is now receiving hormone shots so that when she conceives again she will be able to carry the baby to term. Good luck.

You have been pregnant 5 times, and are not seeing a doctor? Go now.
You put yourself at risk every time you are pregnant, and something is obviously not working.

see your gyno he/she can cercloge the cervix
(rap stitches around it) this is then removed at the time of delivery or 40weeks full term then there is no chance of a miscarriage by "dropping" the baby unless the fetuses had malformations which sometimes it's better off in the long run but see your Dr about doing that once you become pregnant again
