Hi ladies,
Reading this forum gives me alot of consolation telling me I am not alone and never to give up hope. Thank you all ladies for sharing your stories.
Just had my 3rd MC ytd. Lost the 1st one 1.5 yrs ago due to loss of hb at 6 wks and the next 2 due to no fetal pole developed. It seems that development tend to stop between 5 to 6 weeks. Having lost the 3rd one, finally I can be referred to the recurrent loss pregnancy clinic to investigate what's causing development to stop although there's still 50% chance that there could be no results. Not much time left, am already 39 years old..
Was heart broken for the first one and still think about him/her till today. Although nothing can heal the pain but we can learn to be stronger and keep trying. It takes alot of courage to face the uncertainty again and again but ladies, don't give up. What I have learnt is don't wait to find out what's wrong especially if you have MC twice or more.. I would have gone for tests if I had knew there's doctors practising in the field of recurrent miscarriages. I have always thought that I had to MC 3 times to investigate what is wrong. I do ask myself if I could have done something to help my 3rd one to develop if I knew what's wrong. But nevertheless, it has already happened so I can only look forward not backwards..
Have done alot of reading these past few days and am convinced that I need to lose weight (am slightly overweight), change my diet to less salt sugar and carbs and start exercising if I want to increase my chance of conceiving a healthy baby. Guess I would also try see a tcm (any recommendations?) and a womb masseur to help. Fingers crossed, hoping for baby dust in a few months..
Those trying or on the fence whether to start trying, be brave. The day you give up is the day you lose all hope. But do proactively take steps to increase your probability!
