I have a healty 3 1/2 year old, beautiful girl, and no problems w/her pregnancy. So when trying this year again myself and the doctors didn't think there would be any problems. With all 3 pregnancy they ended at around 6 weeks. After all this they are going to do some blood test and research to try and find out the cause of this. Has anyone gone through something similar and did they find out what was happening and correct it? I don't think I could go through this again.

Research luteal phase defects. Very easy to overcome, and very common cause of habitual early miscarriages.

This is just one site. There are lots.

Hun I feel for you. I went in for the testing you are on about a year ago, for the same reason. they couldnt find anything wrong with me (oh they'll want a bllod sample from your hubby to so make sure he goes with you). Its just been put down to bad luck, but now I'm pregnant again I get taken in every 2 weeks (starting from the 7th week of pregnancy), for scans and blood tests to see if they can spot anything wrong.
All I can suggest is give yourself time to heal emotionally before you try again, thats all I could do, thats why its been over a year since the last miscarriage, I couldnt face doing it again!
In the mean time just be grateful for the child you have (I dont even have that!!!)
I wish you luck in finding some answers and a successful pregnancy next time!

I had two miscarriages. first at 12 weeks and then second at 15 weeks. the second was a bad one. i lost alot of blood and it was a gut feeling to go and get checked and i hemorrhaged in the emerengcy ward and they say if i was at home i would not be here. they did tests and nothing came up. i am pregnant again at the moment and i made it to 19 weeks to be told my cervix was short and i had low fluid around the baby. i ended up my cervix opened and they closed it with a stitch in time that i have now made it to 36 weeks with alot of rest and time off work. the doctors can not tell me if this is what went wrong the first two times. i guess i will never know. i hope u find the answers u are looking for. i have my stitch out next week and they still can not say if my baby is safe, so hopefully all goes well and they can find out what is wrong in ur body. i look at it the first two were not meant to be, it is how i get through them, all the best./

Yes, many of us have gone through recurrent miscarriage. There are even several yahoo group and other lists geared to people with multiple loss history. There are a variety of tests that can be done to assess why you are having recurrent losses. At 6 weeks, this could be a number of problems with implantation, your body rejecting implantation, genetic problems meaning they will likely want you and /or you and spouse to get genetic testing. There are also treatments they can do during the early and mid pregnancy depending on the reason to address the problem. So many of us went on to have wonderful children after the horror of early loss.

I have had 3 miscarriages all at different stages, no reason given for them and have gone on to have 2 heallthy babies, I did have a daughter and son before the miscarriages so I knew I could go to term and as you already have a daughter you know that it's possible. I was told to wait too and I didn't listen. I had to keep trying and was successful... good luck to you .. the doctors should be able to sort it out for you

My sister went through almost the same thing. After her 3rd miscarriages they found out her progesterine levels dropped causing her to miscarry. After that they thought everything would be ok if she had suppsitories for that, but she continued to have another one so they did genetic testing and found out her husband had an extra chromosone. Finally on there 7th try they had a baby girl, and she was perfect. Now she is teenager. Good luck and I will say a prayer for you.

No of course you can't go through it again right now.
Put conceiving on hold until you've hd a few tests to look for answers.
Give it a year and enjoy your little girl,she will be affected by how upset you are: try and get back to "normal" for all your sakes
Ask your Dr about the "stitch" and if it's relevant to you.
Look after yourself, you can't look after anyone else if you're so sad yourself

Try grief counselling if it helps you.

I am so very sorry for your losses.
I know a lady who went through this, and I can't remember what it was that caused her problem. I think she ended up having to take progesterone shots for a short time after becoming pregnant. She now has 2 y/o twins.
Good luck, and bless you.

My heart goes out to you. I am sure that if you are seeing doctors that they checked this, but could it be that you are a negative blood type and your husband is positive? If you so, you just need a shot of Rogam. They probably checked that already, though. It only affects 2nd and on pregancies, not first.

Make sure you don't have Lupus or an immune disorder that attacks the babies cells- the md should know the name- a friend of mine had that problem and later was fine and had a baby girl- D
