So I'm feeling very tired and empty and fed up right now~ Just wondered if anyone else here had been through anything similar. Also wanted to know if any of you have had a successful pregnancy after m/c.. just looking for a positive story to lighten my mood, you know?

I conceived @ Nov 16th and was really excited, my fiancé was too. Some friends gave us a really nice buggy, carseat and other stuff, our families were both supportive etc. We were really happy and looking forward to it.
I started bleeding on December 15th and I still am.. 4 WEEKS! From the start of the bleeding I was worried but my mum said it's common in our family to bleed a bit during early pregnancy (my mum did with both me and my brother and we were both fine and healthy). But after 2 weeks I went to my doctor and she referred me to the hospital. Loads of blood tests and a few scans later they tell me the baby probably died a few weeks ago, that it's a missed miscarriage and that my hormone levels aren't dropping so I would probably have to have a D&C procedure to remove it >__<

On Wednesday I haemorrhaged pretty bad but still didn't miscarry. On Thursday my uterus just freaked out trying to expel it, and just contracted harder and harder til all I could do was lie on the floor in agony. I was going to have to be admitted to hospital as an emergency but my mum (she's a nurse X3) found some antispasmodic pills to stop the contractions. Eventually yesterday I managed to miscarry so I'm back in for more blood tests and scans tomorrow and may not need to go to theater. I'm glad it's nearly over but I'm just feeling really.. tired and.. traumatised by the whole experience I guess. It's been dragged out for a whole month and the nurses at the hospital seem to completely forget that I'm grieving the loss of my baby as well as dealing with all the rest of this. Just feeling a little lost and really needed to rant. I'm anxious that if I get pregnant again I'll have to go through the same again.

Hard to believe that a year ago I was getting all famous and performing Promise You on TV isn't it? ._.
I have no regrets and I love my fiancé more than life itself but I just wish my life wasn't such an insane rollercoaster at times. Blah.

Of course it's possible to conceive after a miscarriage. As many as 30% of pregnancies result in miscarriage and half don't even know that they were pregnant.

Sometimes it is your genes and may have to do with your uterine lining or even something as simple as body weight or diet (maybe you should check w/ doc). My mother had several miscarriages before she had me. Sometimes it takes a few times. Sometimes it has absolutely nothing to do with you or the father and just has to do with a mistake in formation.

You should run some tests on why you miscarried, it can be just random or it can be something with the uterus that cannot sustain the fetus. While you are running tests you should also get everything checked out to see why you aren't able to carry the baby. There are many solutions to help you with a better pregnancy out there but you just need to get the diagnosis to why and what happened first and then try again when you are emotionally prepared, the both of you~

good luck to you and your fiance, don't let this keep you from trying again, i knew alot of women who had multiple miscarriages but my friends are here and they were the ones that beat the odds =)

A friend of mine has miscarried 3 times now. Imagine that, 3 times expecting a baby! She's staying strong though and she keeps trying. That's all I can really tell you, is hope for the best, be strong and never give up! I hope everything turns out good :]

Then again, to keep things in perspective, it may not be her body's fault at all that she wasn't able to carry the baby. It could have been because of the fetus itself not forming correctly (which has nothing to do with the uterus or her reproductive organs).

Sometimes a person just needs better nutrition and less stress.

A close childhood friend of mine would have had an older brother, but his mother miscarried. Didn't stop them from trying though, and they are a very happy family. Just wanted to share... I wish you plenty of support in your time of need!

This sounds similar to my uncle's wife. She miscarried 3-4 times but then she had a successful pregnancy.

I hope all the best for you!
