After 4 miscarriages - but eventually blessed

Dalene

I have posted here before but I thought I’d let those who have been struggling with miscarriage and falling pregnant, that you shouldn’t give up.

4 early miscarriages and I was devastated by the fourth time having a miscarriage here is how my timeline went and what had happened.

1. Missed miscarriage: I was excited but no heartbeat, found at 5-6 weeks, the moment they send you home and tell you to stay calm and be on bed rest, makes you stress even more 🙈 terrible feeling but it didn’t help had a D&C 2 days later after blood tests returned and HCG level dropped. Dr told us it was a girl

2. 6 month later, Went for a 6 week check up and all was fine still to early to see a heart beat the Dr said to come back in 2 weeks, that day got home, felt faint like the blood was drained from my body and my tummy felt weird like a period started heavy, went to the loo and there was bright red blood. Went to the Dr next day and blood tests resulted in HCG level dropping again-Dr said another girl

3. 6 months later, Chemical pregnancy, done the pregnancy test and blood test had a appointment but being as out of mind that I was and obsessed I had kept on doing home pregnancy tests. But that 2 days before seeing the dr and 1day after Valentine’s Day it came back negative, did blood tests and hcg level dropped again. No D&C as my body cleaned itself ...

So Dr said 1 year and 3rd miscarriage it’s time to see a specialist, keep in mind I went for all sorts of tests with the first 2 miscarriages and everything came back looking fine no issues with hubby or myself.

Went to a specialist he did more tests some more painful then others and still nothing came up wrong with my body or uterus NOTHING ?!! So you can imagine my frustration 💔

4. 6 months later, went through all the tests and now time to track and the dr to ensure I had my eggs released and all was fine. So with this pregnancy I had taken clomid and eggs were fine and they released and I fell pregnant yet again and I was put on progesterone and all was fine and we saw a heart beat and when we went back in two weeks there was no longer a heart beat 💔 the saddest moment ever ... had another D&C and tests came back normal nothing wrong...

3 month later we tried again double dose clomid, double dose progesterone and now also a blood thinner ecotrin ... and with close monitoring and number of blood tests we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy - note I had pain and bleeding with this pregnancy and it was brown red and it was thickish but no clots... went to the hospital when I got there it had stopped and I was put on bed rest, thinking iv been through this before that i was having another miscarriage I already prepared myself for the worst... but if turned out I was okay ... so don’t let bleeding get to you unless it’s bright red ... By the way i was bleeding for week on and off but verrrrry little ...

Above my beautiful little boy 3.66Kg 56cm long born at 38 Weeks and 2 days via C-Section as my pelvis didn’t want to open up any more for natural birth... photo was taken at 2weeks old ...

Ladies when I say the frustration, heart break, anger is real I mean it, I know how it feels but I said I’m not giving up.

I was able to fall pregnant with no issue but kept miscarrying with no reason why and had done all the tests possible ... it breaks you down ... when all it really was, was low hormone level (progesterone)

I suggest get your hormone levels tested first before going the extreme, I listened and follows the drs and I should of demanded that test get done first ...

GOOD Luck to all you ladies that are trying and are going through what I went through ... it will happen, have patience and have a will to carry on ....
