Have you had a miscarriage?

[livin4christ9203]

Hi! I'm just curious about who of you have been through a miscarriage? I went through one a few years ago, where the egg didn't attach. I would like to know (if you are willing to share) how far along were you? How many have you had? How did the miscarriage happen? How did you know it happened? What did you have to do after the miscarriage? What procedures did the doctor have to do? Did you have trouble conceiving again? Have you had a successful pregnancy since? Are you still having trouble?

Thank you in advance to those of you willing to share this with me.

I was somewhere between 8-13 weeks. The egg did attach but didn't go beyond that. I do not know how it happened, I found out I was pregnant when I began bleeding. My doctor didn't believe I was miscarrying at all. She said it was just a bad period because I missed two. I went in twice in 4 days as the pain was so bad plus I was going through 16-18 huge overnight pads a day. Finally I went to another doctor and the third or forth pregnancy test came back positive. By then I was allowed to "bleed out". I bled for 3 weeks and had two follow up check ups.

It was 14 months after 11 months after we began TTC that I became pregnant a second time. I'm due October 24th so I'm exactly 30 weeks pregnant today(monday). TTC was a long hard road and not a very easy one but it was worth it.

I had several after my twins were born & as we live in an area where the best medical care is often yourself & they always seemed to occur over holidays like Christmas & there were no complications it is a little hard to be completely accurate. Most were very early, around when I would have missed my 2nd period; one occurred early in my 2nd trimester; the bleeding began boxing day & by the time I could get off the island it was all over. The worst part was that I 'wept' milk for weeks afterwards so I know I was definitely pregnant. I've had five live births so I know my P symptoms pretty well. I don't know why any of the misscarriages occurred but apparrently I should have had trouble concieving because of how the womb is tilted & in point of fact seem to have suffered secondary infertility after 2 of the births. Misscarriage is never easy & most people dismiss the grieving process because the baby wasn't a real person to them, even spouses sometimes & unfortunately, but mum's are already bonding & losing a child in utero came be quite devestating.

I was around 6 wks. when I miscarried. I'd just been to the dr. and confirmed my pregnancy the day before I started bleeding. I didn't have any procedures since I wasn't very far along. They just checked my hormone levels a couple of times to make sure they went back to normal. We had been TTC for a year and it took another year for me to conceive again. I now have 3 healthy boys. The 2nd and 3rd were conceived more quickly, 4 - 6 mos.

I have not had a miscarriage but I do know several women that have had them, including my aunts. One of my aunts had five miscarriages (including twins) in one year.

Yep I have had at least one. I then went on to get pregnant two months later with my little girl.

I was 8.5 weeks along and was at my first OB/GYN appointment, I was supposed to be around 12 weeks, baby stoped gestating at 8.5 weeks. They ended up doing a D&C. He was conceived on the birth control pill, our daughter was conceived while using a condom. So we really haven't had any problems conceiving.

right after the m/c and the whole year after I grieved so much and was put on depression meds for antepartum depression, as I was pregnant at the time of going on them, and was on them for about a year after buby was born to treat for postpartum depression. I feel great now, have come to terms with my loss and no longer blame anyone.

The kind woman I work for as a nanny just lost the baby at ten weeks. Very sad week it's been.

My first pregnancy resulted in miscarriage at 21 weeks. I found out I have blood clots in the placenta. I had to take blood thinners to carry my second pregnancy. He was born at 28 weeks.

I had a miscarriage in 1992. I think I was about 8-9 weeks along, and hadn't even yet had morning sickness. I guessed that I was miscarrying when I began to have "spotting". It was mainly little dark red specks of blood in my underwear. I called my dr. right away, but he told me that it was "probably okay" and "probably just the cord attaching to the uterus". He said this over 4 days, and I kept hoping that things were okay. There was no pain that I recall, not even period type pains. I just wasn't happy with his response, and after the blood turned bright red, I went with my husband to the ER. They admitted me right away and started doing all kinds of exams. After one exam, a doctor told me that I was probably going to be okay because the neck of the womb was closed. They set me up then with an ultrasound, but because it was such early stages they couldn't see anything so they did an internal u/sound. At that point they told me the bad news that there was no heart beat, so the baby was died. Gosh, I haven't thought about the details in years, and it's SO hard remembering this stuff. Pressing on .. they decided to give me a D&C, and I went to the OR for it that evening. The reasoning behind the D&C was that there could be infection if they did not remove the foetus. When I came round, I really was in pain, severe cramping, bleeding etc, and stayed that way for about 3 days. It took me quite some time to recover both physically and emotionally - but mainly emotionally. They didn't know "why" it happened, just that the heartbeat stopped.

After that, I did not conceive again despite trying for 2 years. My then husband and I split up (not caused by the miscarriage). In 1999, I met my second husband - who is my "forever" husband - and within 2 months I had conceived our son, who is now 6yo.

I'm now too old to have any more kids - imo - so I don't know whether I would have continued to be quite so fertile!

I'm sorry that you have gone through this. I hope that you can find peace and rest in Jesus, who for sure welcomed your baby and mine into the Kingdom of Heaven. I truly believe that I will be reunited with my child one day.

I've had two misdiagnosed miscarriages, turned down the D&C procedures in both pregnancies and have my babies here today.

I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. I posted my testimony of that loss in the womens discussion/personal topics thread under the miscarriage post there.

I gave birth to my son at home after 1 month of severe bleeding.

I had one miscarriage. After 4 years of trying to conceive, I finally did with the help of fertility drugs. I found out on a Friday I was pregnant. I was actually starting to have signs for one, but I was too excited to put too much thought into it. I read in a book that alittle bleeding was normal so that's what I thought it was. By Monday, I was experiencing major cramping and heavier bleeding. I drove 40 min. to get to the doctor and had to sit in the waiting room for another 15min. while I bleed all over the chair and was crying. The doctor told me I was in the process of having a miscarriage. I was deeply saddened. By that evening, I was okay with it all. I leaned on God for comfort and peace. The next morning I lost the baby. I was only a few weeks pregnant. But the blessing was I was able to get pregnant 3 months later without the use of fertility pills. I have 2 boys now...as you can see in my avatar.

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks, just a couple of days after the positive pregnancy test. It was devastating. In my heart I named the baby and pictured what he would have looked like.

Our beautiful daughter was concieved very shortly afterwards and was born this summer.

I had one at 5-6 weeks...my oldest baby is waiting for me in heaven.
