I've had two miscarriages. Will I ever be able to have a baby?

Question

My husband and I knew we wanted to have babies since the day we married. So we wasted no time and got started right away! Luckily it didn't take long and we got pregnant in the first month! We were thrilled! I ended up miscarrying our baby after just 6 weeks of pregnancy. We were completely devestated. We waited a couple months and tried again. And once again, got pregnant right away. That pregnancy only lasted 3-4 weeks and I also miscarried. I was truly depressed and heartbroken. It's been about 7 months since my last miscarriage and we have tried a a few times to get pregnant with no luck. I've been taking prenatal vitamins, and hormones try and help things along. I am still ovulating, and my OB says everything "looks good." I'm just really feeling stress and would really appreciate any encourage words or experience anyone has had with these type of issues. Thank you, sincerely.

Answer 1

I unfortunately don't have any helpful information or experience, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for both of your miscarriages, for it must be truly difficult and devestating to have survived that pain, both emotionally and physically. I send my prayers your way, and I truly hope you and your husband will soon have a beautiful and healthy baby.

Just to give you a little encouagement, my best friend's sister miscarried once when she was nineteen after an unplanned pregnancy, and four years later when she was married, she and her husband had two adorable boys. Don't give up hope!

Answer 2

Stress does play a big role, but unfortunately science/doctors can't give us the answers to why some woman have trouble conceiving or some woman have a lot of miscarriages. I know that my mom had 3 miscarriages before she had me and two more before she had my sister. She was put on bed rest for all of her pregnancy with me. Some woman with a history of miscarriage are put on bed rest right away. Since your doctor said everything looks good I'd say take it easy and try to remain positive. You will get your dream. It will happen and when it does you'll be all the more appreciative of the wait you've had to endure. Good luck and best wishes to you and your husband. ;)

Answer 3

Just to let you know, I had many, many miscarriages, but when the timing was right and my body was ready, I carried a healthy and BEAUTIFUL baby girl to full term. There is hope; you just have to hold on to it and trust the universe to deliver what is best for you.
If the probelms persist over a year, invest in a great fertility doctor. There are many tests out there that can identify what is going on with your reproductive system (if anything) and help you get on the right track.
The most important advice anyone can give you, though, is that your body will respond to your stress levels. If your whole life becomes wrapped around getting pregnant, the stress of it will have a strong adverse affect on your body's ability to conceive and carry a baby.

Answer 4

I wanted to wish you good luck. Unfortunately miscarriages are common especially so early into the pregnancy. My advice is to keep trying if that is what you want to do and follow any advise your doctor gives you. Have you been checked to see if there is a reason for 2 miscarriages so close together? My mother had 2 children from a previous marriage when she married my dad. And she had had 2 miscarriages after she had them but then when on to have me so it's possible. I also have a cousin who is due in July and had 1, maybe 2 miscarriages previously.

Answer 5

I'm praying for you!

Understanding miscarriage
Miscarriage is heartbreaking. It might help to understand possible causes and treatment options, as well as what to expect for the future.
Miscarriage is a relatively common experience — but that doesn't make it any easier. Ending a pregnancy without a baby to hold in your arms is heartbreaking. Take a step toward emotional healing by understanding what can cause a miscarriage, what increases the risk and what medical care might be needed.

What is a miscarriage?
Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy without obvious cause before the 20th week. About 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). But the actual number is probably much higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn't even know she's pregnant.
Most miscarriages occur before the 12th week of pregnancy.

Signs and symptoms include:
·Vaginal spotting or bleeding
·Pain or cramping in your abdomen or lower back
·Fluid or tissue passing from your vagina
Keep in mind that spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy is fairly common. In most cases, women who experience light bleeding in the first trimester go on to have successful pregnancies. Sometimes even heavier bleeding doesn't result in miscarriage.

Answer 6

Believe it or not stress can reduce your chance of getting pregnant. Just try to relax, you can still have a baby. My sister had two miscarriages and felt the way you do. She now has two beautiful little girls. Good luck and QUIT worrying.

Answer 7

Of course, no-one knows the exact answer to your question. However, I had two miscarriages while trying for our first child. We almost didn't try again because we were scared of it happening again! Our next two pregnancies were successful and we now have two beautiful sons. Don't give up hope!

Answer 8

Stress is a big NO NO. I know it's hard but relax and have faith. It will happen in time. GOD has a plan for us all. Have her/him check your progesterone levels. A friend of mine had the same problem and that was hers. Her levels were too low.

Answer 9

my cousin had six miscarriages before she had her daughter and although it was very painful going through that so many times she said it was well worth it so dont give up.
