Just had my fourth miscarriage. Feeling confused

I don’t really know what the point of this post is but I’ve just found out I’m having a fourth miscarriage. I should be 9+4 but baby stopped growing at 6+3.. my last MMc was 8 weeks, the one before that was a chemical and the one before that was another MMC that I found out at 9 weeks the Fetal pole never progressed. I was on progesterone this time and under the miscarriage clinic but it’s happened again. I just don’t know what to think really. I’ve read that the more MC you have the more likely you are to MC again and we are so desperate for a baby We have been trying since 2021. We don’t have any children and are still feeling hopeful but I can’t help but feel like the NHS can’t really do anything they seem so unhelpful and unbothered. I know it’s their job but I haven’t felt any compassion from the early pregnancy clinic it’s just business isn’t it. I’m thinking of going to a private fertility clinics ( if my work private HC covers it) Has anyone had a success story they would like to share?

I feel for you. We are in a similar place with the NHS, although we already have one child. We have been trying for a second but no sucess for 3 years with multiple MCs. I am surprised the NHS isn't doing more for you though, since you don't have any children yet, my understanding was IVF etc. on the NHS was an option? Has that nit been discussed? I know for us it is not an option on the NHS as we already have a child. Also considering private clinic. But our healthcare doesnt cover fertility issues.. 😢

Hey, I remember being in your position and was hoping to read some positive miracle story to give me hope of holding a baby too! I was lucky with my first pregnancy (until the end when my baby stopped growing and I had to have a section at 35 weeks to get her out fast) however after that I experienced 3 miscarriages whilst trying to have baby #2. After 3 miscarriages they would finally investigate and I went with Tommy’s clinic at Birmingham women’s, after lots of investigations nothing really come up apart from an inconclusive blood test result for APS, found out I was pregnant again and they prescribed me heparin injections and aspirin and that seemed to do the trick that time and I got my triple rainbow baby last year!❤️ I then had follow up bloods post pregnancy and tested positive for APS so future pregnancies they said I would have to have injections& aspirin throughout which I didn’t mind as it got me my baby in the end. I had 2 MC’s at 6 weeks and a MMC at 10 weeks

Baby stopped growing at 6 weeks with my MMC also. Have you had any testing or been referred to the miscarriage clinic as yet? I know the wait lists can be quite long, I actually got lucky with a cancellation appointment about 4 months before my original appointment date they gave me so definitely look to see if you can get any cancellation appointments to get seen quicker🤞🏼 I really hope you get your rainbow baby! I heard a lot of people trying baby aspirin (75mg dose) even without doctor approval as there is no harm caused to baby and obviously a lot of people felt confident enough to try as it felt like their only option, this was my plan for my next pregnancy but they did prescribe it for me anyway but I was going to take it regardless what the doctors said as I wasn’t willing to try another pregnancy using nothing, I felt so hopeless! Praying for you that you get your rainbow baby❤️

Hey - your experience sounds pretty much exactly like mine before I had my daughter. 4 miscarriages, all similar experiences and I was blessed when I got pregnant the 5th time. I was tested and husband was tested and everything came back normal. I got pregnant right after my 4th miscarriage so I didn’t even get a period. They prescribed me cycolgest and aspirin however I still miscarried on those. I didn’t take it when I got pregnant the 5th time. I believe it was just gods timing and that it will happen when you least expect it to. I’m so sorry you’re going through it as I completely understand your pain. I am here if you ever need to talk x

I’m so sorry to hear of your losses. It is a private clinic so you would have to pay but I would recommend going to the Implantation Clinic at Coventry and Warwickshire NHS university hospital. They are able to run tests and prescribe treatments that are not offered as part of the standard NHS tests for those experiencing recurrent miscarriage. I know of a lot of people that have had success stories after visiting and the research they do there is the best there is in this area. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon ❤️
