Reoccuring miscarriage – advice before we try again?
Hi there,
I have just had medical management (second time of this) for my second miscarriage in 6 months. Both pregnancies have ended in missed miscarriages – only finding out at the scans and have resulted in medical management. We are so desperate for a baby but I an petrified about trying again that it may end up with another miscarriage.
The doctor I have spoken too has advised that the nhs will do nothing until three miscarriages have occured. I have never had a child so I am worried there is something wrong with me and I can’t carry babies full term.
Can anyone offer advice? Has anyone been successful after two late miscarriages? My heart feels broken and I’m so scared about this occuring three times.
Has anyone tried acupuncture or herbal remidies?
Thanks for any responses!
Love mrs b

I suggest you http://carekorner.com/ I was looking for same answer last day on answers.yahoo.com but i browsed for an hour and got best solution over there.
I hope this helps!
Lots of people try alternative therapies, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just make sure your doctor knows about any herbals you are taking before taking any prescription drugs. I do not hate alternative practices, but I just have more faith in the reliablility of western medicine. Not that acupuncture doesn’t help, but I imagine its better at getting rid of your stress to help you concieve etc.
You said 2 late miscarriages? How far along were you? Early miscarriages are often due to a progesterone deficiency so you can have your progesterone levels checked when they check your HCG levels. If you were further along, its much harder to say.
I’m in the US so the NHS isn’t a factor but most doctors do feel that 2 miscarriages could just be bad luck and that its not until 3 that you should waste time or money testing for further concerns. My understanding is that later miscarriages are usually due to a defect that would have prevented the fetus from surviving anyway. There are probably some other factors, but until 3 miscarriages, they may not want to run the tests to find out why.
Sorry, wish I could be of more help.
A very good friend of mine is now 36 weeks pregnant after 2 back-to-back miscarriages (no drugs, no surgeries or remedies whatsoever). I understand how you feel, because she was fearful and hurt, too, but it finally worked for her. I can understand the toll it takes on you emotionally. I would suggest that you give it enough time for your heart to heal, and then go for it again. Truth is that many of us have had early ones that we never knew about, so you can always bounce back. I’ll be rooting for you, and I believe it will happen.
so sorry to hear about your loss. i have a friend that went through the same so i can understand how hard it must be for you. My friend unfortunately had 3 miscarriages but on the fourth pregnancy went full term and delivered a very healthy baby boy. the doctor couldn’t find a reason why she miscarried and she was terrified it would happen again but she kept trying and thank fully everything finally went good for her. shes not sure if this had anything to do with it but before her pregnancy that she had the baby she actually had gone on a diet, eating healthy and walking every day which is something she did’nt do much before and after this she did have her baby from fourth pregnancy. all i could suggest is if you do decide to try again try not to worry about things going wrong i know easier said then done but stressisn’tt good during pregnancy. and just try your best to carry on like you would normally. i hope if you do try again that everything goes well for you. best of luck and loads of baby dust for you hun. :_
