I'm 38 years of age and have recently survived two miscarriages (just about) .

My first baby was due Oct 5th, and unfortunately did not make it past nine weeks, so I miscarried in March 2008. In June I found out I was expecting my second baby, due February 10th 2009, but unfortunately I miscarried this child too, at six weeks, although I didn't find out until I was nine weeks.

On both occasions I have had 'missed miscarriages', which means the baby stops growing but does not come away from my body, and I happily go on thinking I'm pregnant, until my first scan.

At the moment, I have had some blood taken at the doctor's surgery and these tests have come back with everything fine except that I have high glucose readings. I have to return on Friday 22nd August to have another test. As well as this on Monday 25th August I have to attend the pre-pregnancy clinic at our maternity hospital for some tests. I don't know what this will involve, so I have to wait til I get there.

Emotionally I'm a crack-pot! However I have managed to return to work, albeit short hours and weeks at the moment, but it's a positive move.

So get in touch if you'd like to chat....... - all my blogs are there if you want the full details.

Speak soon x

25th August 2008

Today I went to the pre-pregnancy clinic to get some bloods done. She told me straight away that my second miscarriage was caused by a Molar Pregnancy. To be honest she told me a whole lot of other things too, but basically you can look on www.molarpregnancy.co.uk if you'd like to know more. Too much info to try to put on here. She also told me first miscarriage was caused by abnormal chromosomes and that both are not connected. Contact me if are interested in knowing anything more. In the meantime I am advised not to try to conceive anytime within the next six months. Great!

Hey there. Thanks for your message. I've just finished reading al your blog entries. Man.... I'm so sorry to hear of the ordeals you've been through this year... Janine was a great support to me after my miscarriage. I'm sure she was a comfort to you too... I think you're right to wait on trying until you've done all your tests and had the results back. On Monday it was a month since I lost our baby. Yesterday my AF turned up. After the new wave of sadness and grief that swept over me last week on seeing my friends' baby, I had thought that maybe I'd feel sad again when AF showed. But in fact I felt good. I mean, not good, as it caught me unprepared and bloody hurts, but good in that my body seems to have caught up.... Once she gone, we'll go back to trying I guess. But I'd be lying if I said wasn't anxious about the possibility of another loss.... I cant' even begin to imagine how you must be feeling having been struck twice... Anyway. i've gone on far too much. Sorry. I'll be thinking of you in the weeks to come.... Em x

Oh that's good then that they're not worried. You'll know when you're ready to start trying again. Until then just try and relax, I know it's hard but that's the only advice I can give. I do know how you feel though if that helps at all

minkymoo78 - Saturday, 9 August
I really think you should go for the tests as well. It can only be a good thing to find out if there is anything wrong and there may not be and then you'll be able to relax a bit more. I understand how difficult everything has been for you but see this as a positive step forward so that you don't have to go through any of it again. I will let you know what happens with the specialist on Monday. Chin up xx

I'm glad that you are feeling better, and that you were able to take off the time that you needed to rest and recover. I am doing well. I quit my craptacular job a few weeks ago and I've never felt better! 12 hour days and too much stress did not a happy Erica make. Now I am officially a stay at home slacker and even though I feel really guilty for not working, I am really enjoying having some quiet time at home!

Take care sweetie pie, I'll chat at you soon!

Hi, yeah it really sucks. How are you doing? I always had it in mind that it might happen again but I really hoped it wouldn't. I saw my doctor yesterday and she said after we get the results back from the tests they do on the tissue they removed that I can have some chromosomal tests done. So I guess thats something. They said at the hospital that next time I get pregnant they will refer me to the early pregnancy unit so I can have some early scans, at least that way if the baby doesn't develop past 6 weeks again it will be over sooner. Im just so gutted!!
Hope you are ok, well as ok as you can be!!
Take care

Hi I'll be glad to talk about things with you. It's nice to talk to someone who knows exactly what I'm going through. I'm ready to move on and find out what is going on so these tests should be good and hopefully there won't be anything wrong, just unlucky. I have an appointment for Monday so we'll see what they have to say. Have you had anything done yet? Do you know what they will do at my appointment? x

Thanks for the kind words. No worries. Your little bean is on its way. I just know it.

Jan, definitely take all the time in the world that you need to recover both mentally and physically. I also understand why you may not be around as often. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers! I really think it would be good for you to get some testing done. I understand why you don't want to try for another baby just now, but one day you most likely will and then having answers would be a comfort - particularly if it is something small and fixable. I was hoping for that myself but have never gotten an answer...

Always here for you!
Karin

Hey there, good luck with those tests.. I know it's a scary thought but it may also be a good thing to have done.. who knows, maybe there is something they can give you to ensure a safe next pregnancy... anyhow, I agree that you should just take it easy and allow both you and your hubby to get over what has happened.. you'll know when the time is right to try again.

Things seem to be going well for us thankfully.. our first scan was very positive and we have another one booked in about 3 weeks when I'm 13 weeks along.. this is where we found out our last baby had a terrible condition that it could never survive so we are very very anxious about having the scan done this time... we hope all will be healthy with this baby but there is about a 3% chance that he or she may be affected too... I'm so scared at the thought of it and it's sad that it takes away some of the joy of pregnancy... can only take it one day at a time so that's what we're trying to do..

best of luck to you Jan.. I hope your heart heals from the pain you are feeling..

do keep in touch,
Janine xxx
