This is my story:-

Me and my adorable husband Steve have been trying to conceive since January 2007. After nearly a year of TTC we were sent for fertility tests and 3 days before we went to get the test results I found out I was pregnant. We were absolutely over the moon because we thought there was something wrong with one of us and this proved that there wasn't. We told everyone about the pregnancy as we were so excited and we made plans for the baby that we'd wanted so badly. It totally took over our lives and we couldn't have wished for anything more. 10 weeks later I had a miscarriage. It hit us really hard and I ended up on medication for anxiety for 3 months as I started suffering with panic attacks and was generally depressed.

Just as I was starting to feel like myself again in June 2008 I fell pregnant again, this time we were even more excited but we tried not to show it as we were scared that the same thing could happen again. On 31st July it DID happen again and I lost my 2nd baby at 5 weeks and 1 day.

So we are now trying to pick up the pieces and move on but it is so difficult. I keep thinking to myself, if I get pregnant for a third time am I going to have to go through this again? Am I doing something wrong to cause these miscarriages? Am I ever going to be able to carry full term? There are so many questions I want answers to but I probably won't ever get them.

I am trying to be positive and believe that we will be parents in the near future but I feel like I've waited such a long time and we've been through so much heartache that it feels like it's never going to happen.

I want to thank all of you lovely, wonderful, kind, caring ladies on this website who truly amaze me each and every day. Whoever invented this website deserves a medal because without it I wouldn't have coped as well as I have in the past. I received so many helpful messages both times I miscarried and they mean so much. I haven't replied to you all because I just get upset but I will be back to my normal TTC self in a few weeks and the positive Minkymoo/Helen will be back, I PROMISE.

Thank you ladies and take care, give yourselves a pat on the back for being so wonderful xxx

My Gorgeous Baby Jack xx

My heart goes out to you and your hubby. I wish this hadn't of happened to you but keep this in the back of your mind. I had a friend who had four mc before she delivered a beautiful baby boy. She just delievered her second baby without any problems a few months ago. It was heartbreaking to see her go through it but she never gave up. She is the happiest now then she has ever been. Please keep faith. You are a beautiful couple who will one day have their beautiful baby. I will be praying for you and everyone else out there including myself that we find the happiness we all deserve.

Hi, how are you? Not sure if you have seen my blog today, the scan didnt give me the reassurance I was looking for. I have either got the dates wrong or the baby has stopped growing. The scan says 6 wks no heartbeat, I am sure I am over 7wks and was hoping to see the heartbeat. I have a repeat scan on Monday 11th. I feel dreadful. But enough about me, I have been keeping up to date with you be reading your blogs. I am really pleased you are going to start to TTC again asap. I will be sending you good luck vibes for a BFP asap! I think you are making a good move by waiting to test until AF is late. Good luck, hope you and your hubby can enjoy some of your time together this week, you have each other and you are strong together thats the most important thing right now. Keep going babe, things will get better x

Sorry for your loss!

oldfirstimer - Monday, 4 August
I have just turned my computer on after the weekend and read your message. I am SO, SO, SO very sorry for your loss. It was so heartbreaking to read your story. I don't know what else to say except sorry. Only time will make the pain a little bit easier, but will never rid the pain fully. I have had 2 m/c and, like you, wonder why it has to happen to us! I am now nearly 6 weeks with my third pregnancy and and am absolutely "shitting" myself that it is going to happen again. I can't even change my profile yet to say pregnant until I have my first scan in the next couple of weeks and see a heartbeat (hopefully). My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care. xoxo

Hey, Going through repeated m/c is hard I know, I have had 8 and an ectopic. I just wanna be a mum. I am also in the UK and it grates me to see so many scrotes having kids and not looking after them when there are people like us who would be wonderful parents and have so much love to give. Stay strong, you will get through this. Get to your doctor and demand tests. They usually dont do them until after the 3rd but demand them. The tests can take up to 2 months to come back as they test everything like chromosones from both of you for compatability. I hope you get your answers. Big Hugs and Kisses xxxxxx

Hi there. I just saw your post and wanted to say i am so sorry for your loss. Have you spoken with your GP about why you may be misscarrying? I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that the next pregnancy you have is the one. Take Care.

autumnandbabygirl - Saturday, 2 August
You sound to be such a strong loving women that I believe you will get your precious love. God has a reason for everything. In time you will have your family. Never give up, have faith in everything and it will come to you at the right time. I am thinking of you and wish you nothing but the best in the months to come.

my doc recommended waiting three cycles before trying again, but i also had to have a d&c so i don't know what she would have suggested if i had miscarried naturally, but i've heard it's good to wait after any miscarriage. she said the waiting gives the uterus time to build itself back up so it will be thick enough to support the implantation of the next embryo. and since i had been charting before she said it might be a good thing to continue charting through those 3 cycles. and i definitely think it is a good thing to continue charting because that is how i found out i had a short luteal phase which could cause recurrent m/c and/or difficulty in becoming pregnant. there are a couple causes for short luteal phase or luteal phase defect (lpd). i think the most common cause is low progesterone levels. or atleast i think that is why my doc prescribed Prometrium(progesterone) to help lengthen my luteal phase. i also have a friend on here that had two miscarriages and her doc put her on Prometrium as well and she is now in week 22 or so. if i were you, i would definitely keep charting so you can see if this may be a problem with you but i know you are going to a specialist to get some tests done as well, so it's all up to you. like i said before my best friend had 2 m/c in a row and had some tests done and she was told there was absolutely nothing wrong with her, and now she is 33 weeks and is doing great. she did end up waiting at least 3 cycles after her last m/c and trying to become pg, so i don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. i hope this helps. i wish you all the best and hope you can get to the bottom of this, but just know sometimes there is no true explanation. big hugs to you...

tassy - Saturday, 2 August
hey sweety how are you today. i know its gonna take lots of time to recover from the loss physically and emotionally, but i hope u must be feeling better... (((HUGS))) to you sweetypie... please tk care of yoursefl..

youre.in.my.system.baby - Saturday, 2 August
I think they just book a scan for days later because there's nothing they can do there and then. Apart from check in a few days to see if the baby is still there and then try and explain any bleeding.. I'm sure you will get there again, and I hope it happens fast and I hope it lasts. Good luck! xx

SORRY TO HEAR THE BAD NEWS BUT PLEASE DON'T THINK OF LIFE THAT WAY. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON NOW JUST MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT TIME FOR YOU. "GOD" KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND A BABY NOW MIGHT NOT BE IN HIS PLANS FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT IS GOING SO BAD FOR YOU IT IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO HAS IT WORST THAN YOU. YOU HAVE YOUR MAN THERE WHO REALLY LOVES YOU. SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYONE TO CARE ABOUT THEM. ALOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T WAKE UP THIS MORNING BUT YOU DID WHICH WAS A BLESSING ALONE. JUST TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME AND JUST ENJOY LIFE AND YOU HUSBAND. I SURE HE DON'T WHAT YOU FEELING LIKE THIS. YOU ARE TOO PRETTY TO JUST HAVE A FUCK LIFE ATTITUDE. BE HAPPY AND WAIT PATIENTLY YOUR TURN IS COMING.

I was just looking at my clock and thinking to myself.... "It's 1 am in England... I wonder if Helen is awake."
I'm going to be thinking of you all weekend. Zach came home today and I was in tears for you. He's so confused. Even though you and I have never had the priveledge of meeting... I think you are a wonderful friend and I'm so so sorry.
I wanted this so badly for you... and it finally happened... and now this.
I don't understand it anymore than you do but it breaks my heart.
Just know that I'll be thinking of you and praying for you daily. I know just how you're feeling right now... so empty and isolated... but you are a beautiful strong woman and I am confident that you will grow and prosper through this. One day very soon, Helen... you will hold your beautiful baby in your arms... and you'll be the best mommy in this world because of all that you've been through.
If I had more money than I knew what to do with... I would fly right over to Lincolnshire and find your beautiful self. I wish so much that I could.
You hang tight. I'll be waiting for you to update again.... and I'll be here whenever you need to e-mail.
Take your time for mourning and get back to trying again when you feel ready. Don't ever give up..... you're too wonderful of a woman to give up.

~ Jamie
