How I’m Coping With A Miscarriage After A Miscarriage

July 20, 2017 in Infertility, Lifestyle, Love


I’ve been gone for quite a while and I’m sorry about that. I truly want to be a better blogger. Recently, my fiancé and I went through a trying time after having a miscarriage after a miscarriage and I wanted to share my experience with you all.

First Miscarriage

Last May, we found out we were pregnant. At first we were so scared, but after having time to think about it… we became so excited. At the end of June we had our first ultrasound which showed us that we had a blighted ovum. We were devastated. In July, we had a D&C. We wanted to try again because going through that showed us we really wanted to have a baby. (You can read more about this experience on our blog Road To Parenthood)

Second Miscarriage

So we continued trying and on January 30 of this year, we found out we were pregnant again. We were beyond thrilled, yet cautious because of what happened last time. In February I had some spotting so we went to the ER. They did an ultrasound which showed a baby with a heartbeat! This was so different than last time because we never got to see a baby. The doctor said the spotting was just implantation bleeding.

We told our friends and family and everyone was so excited for us. On March 12, I had started bleeding so we went to the ER and they did an ultrasound which showed the baby stopped growing and there was no heartbeat (I should have been 9 weeks then but the baby measured around 7). The doctor said that a baby doesn’t go from having a heartbeat to no heartbeat and that the baby had stopped developing. On March 14, I had a D&C.

What’s Next?

We were so heartbroken because we were so excited for this baby. The first time we got pregnant was a surprise but this one was planned and very wanted. I’m so grateful to have such an amazing partner. He has been nothing but supportive and there to always take care of me. I still have my moments and even cried this morning but I know that we will get through this and hopefully have a baby someday. My doctor has referred me to a specialist. She said she typically doesn’t do this until after 3 consecutive miscarriages, but she wants a baby for us too.

I feel like miscarriage is considered a taboo subject and not enough people talk about it. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. I’m unfortunate that I’ve had to go through this twice in a row but I wanted to share my story so that hopefully other people will tell their story. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here!

    I’ve been down this road myself and I am so sorry you had to experience it twice but I am happy to hear that you have a supportive partner. I’m also glad your doctor referred you to a specialist (Reproductive Endocrinologist, I assume) as they are best suited to help. If you ever have questions or need someone to talk to about your journey, please reach out to me.

    So sorry you had to go through this. I’ve had 3 miscarriages before my boys came along. Hang in there!

    Thank you for sharing your experience and I am so sorry for your losses. Your story has struck a chord with me as it is so similar to my own. I too have experienced two miscarriages in a row; I became pregnant for the first time last July but after experiencing some bleeding a receiving a scan was found to have a blighted ovum in August. My husband and I were devastated but like you wanted children so much that we tried again pretty much straight away. I found out I was pregnant again in January this year and like you was wary. I had no bleeding this time but booked an early scan for our own reassurance. Sadly this scan revealed our baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks (I should have been 9 weeks like you) with no heartbeat. It really has been heartbreaking. It is sad it is such as taboo subject as talking about it does actually help. People unfortunately often do not know what to say and therefore sometimes say nothing. I find that when someone actually acknowledges what we have been through and asks how we are it really does mean everything. I am so sorry to hear you have experienced pregnancy loss too – I really can understand your pain. We will get there in the end I’m sure. Stay positive. Wishing you the very hear of luck. Lizzie X
