This may not be helpful right now, but the fact that you are able to get pregnant multiple times is a positive sign. It could be that you have had some bad eggs that have resulted in the miscarriages. If you are willing to keep trying you have a good chance of having a successful pregnancy.

What helped me after multiple miscarriages was not getting too excited when I did get pregnant again. I was happy but, didn't tell anyone (except dr and husband). DUring the first trimester I considered myself 'sort of pregnant'. I know it seems silly because you either are or you're not, but after so many losses I just felt that way. I didn't get emotionally attached or excited until I made it past the thirteenth week.

Good luck to you OP. I hope it works out



I agree with this except for the part about bad eggs. 5 miscarriages in a row is probably a sign of some other issues. If so many of her eggs were that bad she probably wouldn't be able to get pregnant in the first place even with IVF.

I also had many miscarriages and I took the same approach as pp. After the second miscarriage I stopped getting excited and just lived day to day.

I'm so sorry for your losses


Agree. I'm sorry, OP. I had 3 miscarriages last year and then for my current pregnancy, did 3 things: used letrozole to ovulate much earlier in hopes of catching a better egg; figured out and addressed some immune issues; and figured out and addressed some clotting issues. Hopefully you already know if any of those are an issue for you but if not, consider looking into it before trying again (if you try again).


PP, what was your regimen with letrozole? which days and doses? What did you do for the clotting issues? Lovenox or smth else?

I don't recall the exact letrozole dose but it was low, because we were afraid I'd over-respond (possible PCOS, high AMH). It was the lowest dose you could get. I took it I think from days 5 through 9 of my cycle, had an ultrasound around day 12 or 13, IUI around day 16, and voila. We got very lucky. My issue was recurrent miscarriage -- I get pregnant easily, apparently, but they weren't viable. On my own I was ovulating anywhere from day 22 to 35 of my cycle. Doctor thought that could be impacting egg quality. We did the IUI because my husband also had poor morphology numbers and they thought the IUI could help with that.

For the clotting I'm on lovenox and baby aspirin. Almost 29 weeks now.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Before I get pregnant, I had infertility work up for 1 year. I got pregnant and during the 20th week of my pregnancy, I had spotting, I was scared that I might lose the baby. It’s my first time to get pregnant, and losing the baby is going to be difficult for me and my husband. On the 32nd week, I had pre-labor, I was so scared and nervous because our goal was to have a full-term baby. Now, that baby is a teenager.
I didn’t experience miscarriage but I understand your desire to get pregnant. Don’t lose hope, just continue to do your part. I have faith that God will give our heart’s desire on His perfect time and He is always working in our behalf.
