Thalidomide?
no. Tragic, but completely different.
She is too young. I was born in 1968 and that was the last year they used it in the US. I also don't know the name but when doctors see my cervix and the year I was born they always ask.

I'm so sorry. Perhaps a genetic testing - ?

I am so sorry for you losses.
We planned for 3 children, but I only had 2. I developed ovarian cancer when my second child was two and everything had to be removed. I was really sad about it for a long time.
Best of luck.

I'm sorry for your losses OP I know it sucks to have no answers, but it doesn't have to be that way. I had 8 losses, all in first trimester. I'm on my 2nd successful pregnancy now with Dr. Braverman's help. Go see him!

OP hugs to you. My mom had 8 before having me in the 70s. I agree you should take some time off to get health. Miscarriages do take a toll on your body. Try acupuncture and maybe see a nutritionist to make sure you are eating enough of the right food. I believe in moderation diet wise but there may be some nutrients your body needs. I myself have had 2 miscarriages and countless suspected chemicals, i stopped testing after a while. I added some more iron rich foods, folic acid, magnesium, spirulina. I havent been successful yet but my energy and mood is better. Good luck.

Op- I had 3 mcs after one DC and went on to have two more dc
Do you take lovenox? They never found anything wrong with me, embryos were normal and I was 30.
I would take lovenox just in case and if you can mentally and emotionally do it keep trying.
Best of luck

OP, the stress/grief of these miscarriages are obviously taking a toll on your body and your mind. I say this as nicely as possible, but that may be impacting your ability to carry a baby to term. I think it may be a good idea to take some time to allow your body and mind to heal from all of these losses and then consider trying again when you are healthier.

OP, sorry about your losses.
Maybe if you get pregnant again, it might be worth it to take progesterone supplements anyway (even if they don't think that is the issue) and baby aspirin (even if your were tested and they don't think it is a clotting issue. I don't think there are huge risks in taking those things.
Sorry again. Miscarriages are hard on the mind and body. Maybe you should take a few months off of TTC. Did you have all of these back to back? Did you have D&Cs? maybe you need to take time to build up the lining of your uterus.
