and it happened to me!i just had a dnc i was 10 weeks pregnant everything was going so well this time high hcg good hormones showing up for my first ultrasound which turned into a nightmare the baby wasnt alive.about 2 weeks later i went into labor that was worse then with my son passing plum size clots and they got stuck in my cervix causing it to contract without a break and even after all that i still needed a dnc bc the baby was still inside of me. i go andsee a specialist tomorrow and i really just want to know what is going to be said/done, i need some hope of having a baby in the future, im only 21 im healthy, ive researched everything and weve ruled out almost every cause except a few and if they are ruled out im back to not having an answer. is there any hope for me, we already planned on adoption even before we knew this at some point in our life we wanted to do that but id like to have one more baby by carrying it myself, my mc have been at 8 weeks,5 weeks, 4 weeks and now 10 weeks. it was a blow to the stomach bc all my blood work was so good not like the past three it was totally unexpected and all my life my goals was to have babies, i just wanted to focus on raising a family and its vanishing before my eyes. im on this forum all the time and i hardly ever get a response,so please share any info you have. Kristen

Hi Kristen, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Can I ask what you have been tested for? Was your son your first pregnancy and then you've lost 4 after him? You could still very well have something going on that he just made it around so I'd make sure I got tested for everything a specialist can test for. You could still ahve a clotting or immune disorder and have a child. You said that with 3 of the losses the bloodwork was not good but with the last one that you lost at 10 weeks it was? Were the numbers doubling properly, etc.?

I know it sucks but until it happens for you I'd think positive, at least you one kid. Some people can't have any. I feel the same way you do. I'm only 20yrs. and healthy as well but still can't keep a pregnancy. The first one I had an ectopic pregnancy and I thought the same thing it only happens to a very small amount of people why did I have to be one of them. But I find the chances are the more people you talk to have or no someone that has went threw the same thing as you. After my ectopic pregnancy I had a miscarriage and two months later I got Bells Palsy which they said could be caused by pregnancy so they put me on med.'s for it and come to find out I got pregnant right before I a it and because of the med.'s I was on I had yet another miscarriage. Trust me I do know how you feel but look you have to look at the bright side and hopefully soon it'll get better.

Kristen, I'm so sorry for what you are experiencing. Pregnancy loss no matter when it happens is so hard. I've lost 3 pregnancies so far. They were at 20 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks. No explanation for any of them. I am lucky enough to have other children, but from my experience it doesn't make it any easier to lose a pregnancy. Just like you can't replace your mom or dad if they die, you can't replace the child you would have had. There is hope, but no one can tell you what will happen. I have a very good friend who is pregnant and due any day now. This will be her 3rd child if all goes well, but it is her 9th pregnancy. She has had a molar pregnancy and several m/c. So who knows how it will work out for you. Good luck and keep hoping. Maybe it will happen for you in the end. And if not, it's ok to grieve.
