I had my doctor's appointment on yesterday and I should have been about 7wks/5days along and there was no heartbeat so once again we will be schdueling a D&C. Emotionally I am doing okay, and I have faith that one day I will have a child, but I am beginning to feel like I will never have a "happy pregnancy" for fear of having a miscarriage everytime. When we get pregnant again (which I know we will) I can't imagine going through 9 months of mental agony wonder "What's gonna happen THIS time!"
We plan on doing extensive testing after the D&C to try to figure out why this keeps happening. I just want some kind of answer!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
I am so sorry for your loss! I hope the testing will give you some answers but be prepared for everything to come back normal. I had the recurrent m/c testing at the beginning of the year and they found a few little things but nothing really definite. My dr warned me that a lot of times they don't find anything wrong.
((((more hugs))))

Thank you for your support!
But "OH NO!".... lots_of_dots you mean to tell me that they could find nothing and I could still keep having miscarriage after miscarriage and not having a clue as to why!!! That is so discouraging! I do want to keep trying, but I don't know how many times my heart can take the dissapointment. My husband is almost at his breaking point now, but I told him it is easier for him to give up because he already has a child (that hurt him for me to say that, but that's how I feel) Oh, well all I can do is put it in Gods hands and pray for the best.

Yes, unfortunately that is true. The only thing they found with me was a slightly elevated DHEA level and adenomyosis (like endo but in the lining of the uterus). My DHEA level wasn't even above what is considered normal but higher than they like to see it for pg. I consider myself lucky that I was able to get the few answers that I did as I know a lot of people that didn't get any answers at all. It's very frustrating but the one thing I've learned and learned well in this process is God's in charge. GL to you!!

Tasha,
I am glad to hear that you are doing *okay* emotionally so far. It is such a horrible thing to endure, it's a wonder we've all made it. Women are definitely strong creatures, there's no doubt. I wish you peace and comfort, and when the next pregnancy comes along, I hope that it is surprisingly smooth and successful. Sometimes, it's when we least expect it, let me tell you. And I think that having support from women who have been there really helps keep the frantic worry under control.
Peace,
Sheri

I too am one of the repeat miscarriers that they didn't find anything wrong w/ although I know I did not get every single test out there, just the major ones that they test for.
