Multiple Miscarriages - Parker,CO

Hi Chrissy, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your losses and struggles. I have 2 DD that I conceived very easily and had no problems with. When we tried to conceive #3, I never had a problem getting pregnant but I had 2 m/c in a row and like you, the doctors told me that there was no medical reason for the m/c... they were simply "flukes". I've come to despise that word. Although I didn't have as many as you, I know the pain and anguish associated with each loss. I thought my heart was going to literally break in two. My doctors told me there was no need to see a specialist. That since I already had 2 healthy children, I should be able to have more. I think the biggest thing that helped, that my husband constantly told, me was to stop, take a deep breath, relax and think positive. If it was meant to be... it will be. Honestly, I was a complete mess and very stressed out and I think finally letting go and letting God take over did the trick. I did get pregnant with a 3rd and although the pregnancy came with it's fair share of bumps in the road, I now have 3 amazing kiddos! Sorry, I don't have any information about doctors for you. Hang in there and trust that it will happen when it's suppose to happen. The one thing that helps me now, after the fact, is that if I hadn't gone through what I went through then I wouldn't have the little boy I have today. Sending great big hugs to you and lots of baby dust. Good luck.

Hi Chrissy,
I had 3 m/cs before I had my son. I had no problem getting pregnant--for me it was staying pregnant. Finally my doc had me use progesterone suppositories for the first 3 mos. of my pregnancy--and I had my son....something about the "luteal phase" progesterone levels....(?).
You may have already looked into that--just thought I'd mention it.
Good luck to you & your family!

Hi Chrissy--
There are so many reasons this could be happening to you--I can't imagine the pain and I feel for you. For me I went an alternative route. My hormones were imbalanced which caused my miscarriage. If you are interested in going with natural/alternative medicine then I can recommend a great doc in Denver. Let me know and I'll get you his name.
Good luck!

First and foremost I'm so very sorry for your losses. You do not specify what they have tested you for. Find out if you've been testing for blood clotting disorders. Believe it or not blood clots are one of the leading causes of miscarriages. I have protein S & protein C deficiency. It is a hereditary blood clotting disorder. I was diagnosed in 1999 and have been on blood thinning medications since. I too have had multiple miscarriages both before and after my firstborn. It took several years with multiple m/c's before my second daughter was born. I would suggest finding a reputable hematologist to work in conjunction with your OB. Even if you do have a blood clotting disorder, healthy pregnancies can be achieved :) In fact my mother had 3 healthy girls but lost 5 pregnancies. This was back in the 70's, she was in her 20's and was not diagnosed with the disease until she was in her 40's. When ttc and during pregnancy I inject a blood thinner called Lovenox into my stomach. Be forewarned if in fact you do test positive for disorder they will medicate you most likely with the Coumadin/Warfarin (pill form of blood thinner). Coumadin/Warfarin may NOT EVER be taken when ttc or while pregnant. The medication itself causes major fetal damage and/or death. Be sure to specify to all doctor's that you are ttc. Please feel free to pm with any questions. Good Luck and God Bless.

Go herbal. I can't get pregnant without herbs. Some women can't stay pregnant without herbs. Google Herbs to Prevent Miscarriages. There is an imbalane there that is correctable.

You may need to just fluff up your uterus so baby will stick. Stay away from cold drinks. This is a big one. Cold keeps the blood flow away from your uterus. Needs to be warm down there. It's good that your testing came back normal. Means it's fixable. Some hormonal thing going on

Also drink homemade carrot juice the first half of your cycle. That helps to strengthen and tone your uterus. I bought a juicer, got some organic carrots and juiced every morning. Do this from your period to ovulation. Don't do this after ovulation cause it could impede with implantation. In addition to a prenantal take vitamin E, zinc, B-complex and B-6.

Red Rasberry in a tea or capsule is great to prevent miscarriages. Helps to strengthen and tone things up.

False Unicorn root can also help. This is my go to pregnancy herb. Helps to prevent miscarriages as well. You can get this at vitacost.com. I haven't seen it sold in stores.

I wish you luck!

I have a friend with 20 years between full-term pregnancies.....her dr described her case as "your body over-actively attempts to destroy the fetus". What a heartbreaker of a description.

For myself, my body attempted to miscarry each & every one of my 4 pregnancies. From beginning to end, it was 9 years .... 1st full-term in 87, miscarriage in 89, full-term 93 (but severe heart/lung issues, with baby passing on day 19), & lastly full-term 96. All 3 of the full-term pregnancies were almost miscarriages.....not only before 3 months, but also at the end. A long hard road to walk.....

Success can happen, but at a high cost of emotions. I sincerely wish you Peace.
