r/recurrentmiscarriage

In 2022 and 2023, I conceived naturally and miscarried both times. I did not conceive again until this past May 2026 and am now in the midst of another miscarriage at 7 weeks. I was happy to be pregnant naturally again since we had been working with a fertility clinic and were considering donor eggs. Now, I am experiencing a past disappointment and pain. I have no live children.

By sharing this experience, I am looking for support and maybe a little encouragement. I have not told any family and friends with the exception of my husband. For some reason, I do not want to talk about it with anyone that is not or has not experienced losses. It is a lonely experience with a host of many conflicting feelings.

I’m 4 days post d&c for my second miscarriage in 6 months. The two times I’ve gotten pregnant, I’ve miscarried. This time, we opted for a d&c with Anora testing.

I’ve been working with an RE since we started trying. (I’m 36 and the fertility clinic will see you after age 35 at any time here) All of my tests are good - labs, SIS, HSG, etc.. husband’s semen analysis was exceptional. My RE told me she was surprised this pregnancy ended in loss because everything looked very reassuring in the beginning.

Once we get the Anora back, she said she also wants to consider RPL labs and I’m hoping that will include karotyping and such.

No one but our close friends and parents know I’m going through this. I just want to scream. Post it on Facebook. Tell everyone, “hey, I’m drowning in sadness right now and no one can tell me why!”. I also wish that people were more open about miscarriage because it does help to see and hear stories similar to your own.

I just feel so lonely. I feel like my body is failing me. I know if the baby wasn’t healthy, my body did what nature intended it to do. But that doesn’t make me feel any better right now, honestly. I’m mad at my body. I’m mad at God. I’m just mad. Sad. Disappointed. This is awful. :(

Long post ahead - please read I’m desperate.

My husband (35) and I (34) have been TTC since November of 2024. We have purposely tried to conceive (with tracking, timed intercourse, etc) a total of 6 times, and have gotten pregnant 5 times.

-Nov 2024 (loss at 5w3d) low betas, highest 36

-Feb 2025 (ectopic at 6w1d) treated with methotrexate. Kept my tube.

-July 2025 (loss at 5w0d) low betas, highest 56

-January 2026 (loss at 5w2d) slow/low betas, highest 250

-July 2026 - currently pregnant, probably a chemical - first vvfl at 11/12dpo, still with faint lines at 13/14 DPO. Positive digital. Starting betas tomorrow. This was the only pregnancy where I started progesterone suppositories and injections as well as Lovenox at 3dpo. I also added Pepcid and Claritin.

-After each loss we took time off, whether for a mental break or for additional testing. After taking time off, we’d try, and get pregnant first round. There’s only one month (December 2025) that we tried and did not get pregnant.

-As far as testing goes, I’ve done everything under the sun. I had mild (only 4 CD138+ cells) chronic endometritis treated in November. Verified it was treated with repeat biopsy. Then had my 4th loss 2 months later. HSG/SIS normal. All labs normal except I have above average AMH and AFC for my age (~4, ~28) but otherwise no other labs that would be consistent with PMOS.

-in May 2026 I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy that showed some scar bands inside my uterus that were excised, as well as a small focal area of stage 1 endo. This was our first cycle TTC post surgery.

-husbands SA is normal and DNA fragmentation is “excellent”

-I am compound heterozygous MTHFR (normal homocysteine, folate, B12) but I take Thorne prenatal with methylated folate. Other supplements include vitamin D, coq10, inositol, magnesium, vitamin C, NAC, omega-3s. I also take baby aspirin.

I have an appointment with a Reproductive Immunologist in August. This is going to be expensive but I’ve been on a waitlist for 6 months so I kept the appt.

I’m exhausted friends. What do I do next? Wait for my RI appt? Start the IVF process to do PGT testing? I’m either consecutively making bad embryos for which IVF might help, or my body is attacking them, for which RI might help. Idk. Success stories welcome. I just want one healthy baby and with every loss I just feel that slipping away.

I am turning 39 in 4 days and had two miscarriages in the last 4 months. One MMC in February measuring 8 weeks after a healthy heartbeat on ultrasound and the second measuring 8 weeks after our 8 week ultrasound had a healthy heartbeat… I am still bleeding from this one. The first one we had nipt and tissue testing that confirmed the baby had Turner’s syndrome. The second I’m still waiting for those tests to come back.
My husband and I both took Coq10 after the first miscarriage and conceived on the second cycle we tried. I guess I get pregnant easily but can’t stay pregnant :( I don’t want to waste time and have one more year of my 30s and we both want to figure out if there’s any changes I can make for this third try. 💔❤️‍🩹

Looking for words of advice or hope. I’m 32. Hubby 37. I just had surgery yesterday for my missed miscarriage. I truly thought this one would stick - we saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks but it died at 8.5. I found out at 10 weeks. I had a chemical in January and then an ectopic in August 2025. Would you try again if you were in my position, or should I get some tests? I have so much trauma as I’ve gone through all my losses within the last 12 months of trying. I don’t know how much more I’ve got in me. Any words of experience, advice or any thoughts I’d be so appreciative of, this is a dark place to be.

TW: pregnancy

This time last year I had my third miscarriage. We had heard the heartbeat around 6w, told some of our family and then the next ultrasound it was gone. I had my second D&C and was recovering while watching everyone have a fun 4th of July. All I could do was cry. I felt so hopeless and sad and looked to this sub for any type of answer. I had also suffered my first miscarriage around the same time the year before and felt like I was in a vicious cycle with no better understanding of what was going wrong.

Fast forward to today and I’m 33w pregnant. I truly never thought I’d get here. We ended up doing IVF and this was my first euploid transfer. I’m sharing this story because for anyone going through a miscarriage right now I deeply understand how you’re feeling. Im still not at the finish line but I hope this can give someone out there hope.

34 female. Two miscarriages in under a year. Saw a fertility specialist and I learned I have a unicornuate uterus. Half of a uterus essentially. It’s super rare. Pregnancy is still possible. But it will be more difficult and higher risk. Needless to say, I am devastated. I told a few close friends. Most of them have children. And two of them immediately offered to be my surrogate. I’m sure they didn’t mean to be offensive. But they offered before even asking if surrogacy is something I would be interested in (I’m not). In a time where everything felt so raw, it felt like just another reminder of ‘I get to experience pregnancy and you don’t’.

Has anyone else had friend offer ‘support’ but the message was received the way it was intended?

Hi everyone.

I (F33) started TTC on september of 2025 and finally in February we got our first positive, which unfortunately was a MC. So the next 3 cycles I've gotten pregnant as well but I've lost each one of them, in total I have had 4 miscarriages (a mix of MMC, MC and CP) I haven't even been able to reach to the echography stage.

Has anyone had the same experience?

Also wanted to vent that it feels so isolating that everyone around me is having great and easy TTC and pregnancies stories (at least in my close circle)

No, but hopefully one day.

We have four babies in the stars, but haven't been lucky enough to meet one yet.

It's our greatest wish.

We've had three losses, no living children.

My favorite tattoo is for our first baby, and I have a special necklace I wear when I'm thinking about our twins.

I've been pregnant on and off for two years with nothing to show for it.

No, but there's nothing wrong with us, we've done all the testing.

My body has a hard time staying pregnant.

I'm their mother, but I'm not a mother.

I always thought we would.

Yes, I've labored alone in my bathroom on a Thursday night and I survived.

Yes, and I had cravings for songs and smells in my last two pregnancies, and hash brown casserole in my first.

I think you mean well by asking that, but it's a tough question to answer.

Well I know everything I need to about labor, breastfeeding, and the first 12 years of life because I love to research first.

I don't think that will happen for us.

No, and we are aware of the option to adopt, thank you.

No, and I don't want to hear that it worked out when your friend just relaxed.

Sort of, but also not.

The universe has an interesting way of working out.

If love could keep a pregnancy alive, we would.

I'm jealous of people who have only had one loss.

Well I have a very sweet senior dog and a puppy.

The fertility specialist said we have a 60% chance of ever having a living child, and that we could have endless more miscarriages. She said to keep trying until our hearts couldn't handle it anymore.

Do you know how much life force it takes to grow an embryo? And to grieve them?

Well I'm basically a parent from being a nanny for 10 years.

We got our lives all set up and ready, we're just waiting for a baby that may never come.

Isn't it so funny how people have babies without even trying?

They all have names, and their souls were all so different.

I'm the only one who really knew them.

I don't know who I am anymore since they entered and left my life and body.

My body is kind of like a burial ground.

I got to love four babies with everything in me.

It's a pretty invasive question.

We have a room full of clothes and books ready for them, painfully infused with love.

My arms are so wide open and empty.

I don't have a good answer for you.

Do you have any kids?

Hi everyone. 30yrs old, no LC. I’m so sad to be here, but thankful for this community & all the support. I’ve been reading different posts and it’s comforting to know we’re not alone.

Like my title says, I ended up miscarrying in March at 8 weeks (baby stopped growing 5w6d, no heartbeat detected). I was lucky enough to get pregnant 3 cycles after, only to discover this week that my HCG was falling/rising and my OB highly suspects an ectopic pregnancy. I was injected Methotrexate today and will be monitoring my HCG this upcoming week.

I am heartbroken, confused, and scared that there’s still a chance something can rupture. I also know ectopics are not labeled as miscarriages, but bc my process was more of an assumption, not 100% identified, I’m still wondering if this is a miscarriage or ectopic. I started heavily bleeding today like a period, which reminds me of how I passed my first miscarriage.

Has anyone experienced both an MC and ectopic? Any tips for taking care of my physical health? The OB basically told me no TTC-ing for 3 months, but any other tips would be greatly appreciated. A part of me also feels like I should try to get RPL tests in case this was a miscarriage, but I understand they’re costly. Any thoughts on how to approach next steps?

Hey lovely people,
I just want to start by saying my heart goes out to anyone who is going through a difficult time. ❤️
I’ve had two miscarriages. The first was last August at 12 weeks. It was a missed miscarriage. We saw a heartbeat at around 5 weeks and 6 days, but at the follow-up scan there was no longer any heartbeat. It was honestly such a confusing and heartbreaking experience.
My second miscarriage was in February 2026. That pregnancy ended around 7 weeks, and unfortunately we never saw a heartbeat or even a yolk sac.
Something I’ve been thinking about is that with both pregnancies, I never really had any pregnancy symptoms.
I’m now pregnant again after a Letrozole cycle and am currently 4 weeks and 5 days. I still don’t have any symptoms, and my brain automatically jumps to thinking something must be wrong. I know it’s still very early and symptoms can come later, but because of my previous losses, I keep comparing everything to those pregnancies where I was also waiting for symptoms that never came.
I have my 7-week scan on the 20th of July, and the anxiety is honestly overwhelming. I keep wondering what the chances are of everything being okay this time, especially given my history and the lack of symptoms.
I’m also taking 400 mg of progesterone twice a day as an extra precaution.
For anyone who’s been through something similar:
Is having no symptoms at this stage actually normal?
What are the chances of a healthy pregnancy after two miscarriages?
How did you cope with the anxiety while waiting for your scan?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you. 🤍

I'm on loss number 7. I'm 9w1d but baby stopped growing at 7w5d. I've had one other MMC but we opted for a D&C. My other loss that was past 6 weeks was a blighted ovum which we also did a D&C for. Both of those were genetically normal so I doubt this one is a chromosome issue and I want to make sure I get my baby's remains this time and don't trust our hospital at all. I was on progesterone which I haven't taken since Tuesday (it's Friday). I'm already anxious about the process since I've never naturally miscarried this late before plus they found a SCH so I know there will be extra bleeding. But I'm tired of being so sick. I have zero energy and feel nauseous almost all day long. I live in Texas so going outside for even 5 minutes makes me feel like I might pass out. I can barely drink water because it makes me more nauseous. I've never had severe pregnancy symptoms with any of my losses and it's feel torturous right now. ​​I almost feel like I'm on my way to sepsis but I know that's dramatic.

I have had 4 mc in the 5 years i had been trying to get pregnant. I've been put on clomid then letrozole and then letrozole with progesterone suppositories and of course all the tests and hubbys tests just to be told there is no reason we cant have a healthy pregnancy and just needed alittle help to keep trying. I tracked my cycle on 3 different apps. It always ended in the same thing. Mc at either 5 or 6 weeks always started with should and elbo pain cramps followed with bleeded and ALWAYS on the weekend when the dr. Office was closed. I finally gave up about 4 months ago. Stopped letrozole stopped everything and accepted it just wasnt in the cards for us. Accepting it felt easier then the reoccurring pain of the losses and constant blaming myself that my body just wasnt doing what it should. I just couldnt do it anymore. Not to mention it was getting expensive hense why we never reached for ivf or anything like that, that the doctors kept telling me was the next step. I also did all the teas prenatals and acupuncture.

Well.. Monday I felt off while I was at work and was due for my period on tue. But because I felt weird and had one last pregnancy test left from my tracking prior I decided to use it.. not actually thinking it would be positive. I stood in my work bathroom looking at myself in the mirror thinking "here we go again" here I go getting my hopes up knowing i would be crying at the end of this. Obsessively searching online, noting down every cramp ache and symptom I have, testing over an over to see progression lines. Its almost like I cant control myself. This is what i hated because it lead to such great disappointment. Here I am 5 weeks pregnant (according to my app) today scared.. scared to go to the doctors to hear everything is going well to go home and have sudden cramps followed by bleeding or to even hear you have blood in your urine to lose it a week later or to hear im sorry the pregnancy is not viable but it is small enough to pass naturally go home let me know if passed call me if there are any complications and we will se eyou in a week for a follow up and hcg tests to make sure its out of your ssystem.

Im scared. But fighting myself cause im excited, cause what if this one sticks, but scared to be excited so I keep telling me self to reject the happiness cause it wont last. I havent told my hubby cause I want to save him from the same pain... I know many will tell me the support is good but honestly watching him be excited then change over to the dissapointed eyes, pity, and trying to comfort me while he also is trying to come to terms that he is also sad.. it is just less hard for me to not. I just dont want to tell him again. I dont want to say it out loud again. I just cant.

I told myself if I make it to 7 weeks no bleeding no problems I will make an appointment being there is nothing that can be done this early anyways other than monitor or so ive been told by my doctor. But every morning I wake up im obsessing over everything. My tempature, my progression lines, my hormones, my symptoms, literally EVERYTHING! I dont know how to stop myself! I try to keep busy but at some point through out the day I find myself overthinking and obsessing.. I even go back to look at my progression lines to make sure its right, constantly comparing to my old notes and other peoples stories on here knowing damn well everyones experiences are different.

Am i just going freaking nuts? I have dull pains once and a while in my foot thigh sometimes in my inner arm and lower back and it is quite literally driving me crazy! Im afraid to freaking move!! Someone please tell me im not the only one cause right now im feeling like im alone in feeling this obsessive. I know its not healthy I know the stress is not good but I literally cant turn off my brain! I cant put my guard down just to enjoy the pregnancy and have positive thoughts. Everything leads back to me thinking im going to lose this baby.

I’m going through my 5th loss with my partner, a mmc at 6 weeks. I have an 10 year old from a prior relationship, and my husband and I have suffered a 2nd trimester TFMR, 6 week mc, chemical, 5 rounds of IVF producing 40+ eggs but only 2 embryos and 1 failed FET. I haven’t been back to the doctor, but had one day of weird cramping a few days ago and all of my symptoms are just… no longer there. When you’ve been pregnant so many times you just KNOW. I’m hoping I can pass it at home as there’s a lot of medical intervention related PTSD.

We have one untested embryo on ice and this was a spontaneous conception between treatment. It is supposed to be our miracle. I have broken my husband’s heart so many times I just don’t know how to tell him it’s happening again. He’s been so happy… floating even! Smiling and singing to himself. I know I’m about to ruin his life yet again and I don’t know how we will survive it. How do I do this?

How cruel that we as women have to bear not only the physical burden of pregnancy, fertility treatment and loss, but also the emotional weight of knowing first and having to inform our partners.

Short history 1 LC, after that 3 6 week embryos stop developing all naturally miscarried(1st complete embryo lost at 7 weeks , 2nd had a heart beat at 7 weeks measuring 6 weeks 90bmp, 3rd 1 embryo at 8 weeks no heart beat measuring 6). 1 chemical between 1st and 2nd 6 week. . After chemical they tested my thyroid. I was mislead to believe the one with a heart beat was viable(maybe it would have been with additional support). Went to a fertility clinic all tests normal (thyroid, APS, sono histogram, genetic karyotype, celiac, t3 t4, vaginitis). I conceived after the sono histogram and that resulted in the 4th loss 8 week measuring 6 weeks no heart beat I took progesterone 1 200mg suppository once a day. Progesterone measured 11-14 (Google normal is 16-23 for viable)at 5 weeks. I wonder if the clinic really dropped the ball on this. All scientific papers say 400mg 2x. No additional hormone testing was offered or an earlier ultrasound to check development earlier.
I think the clinic is ready to throw the kitchen sink at me but I think this might need more of a holistic approach. Anyone have luck with this. Doing more testing of stress markers, inflammation, sleep etc? Re building micro nutrient levels through supplementation etc. gut health? I have seen some talk about doing a keto diet to reduce inflammation.

I have learned more on these Reddit feeds than I have from any doctor.
Currently awaiting tissue chromosome on last lost.

 TW (trigger warning ⚠️) I recently had 21 weeks MC, its been 5 weeks i am still experiencing brown/pink VD since 27 days, they are asking me if you want to see a gynae go to ER but my vitals are normal, if someone could guide, is it normal ? I went to ER on 9 june from the VG swab the doctor took she told me after a week i have a womb/uterus infection of high grade Ecoli., prescribed me antibiotics, i completed the course of antiobiotics, still i am having brown/pink vaginal discharge its been 5 weeks is it normal? If i am asking them like is it normal or not they are saying me to go to ER if i want to see a gynae. are there no follow-up appiontments for ladies who have late MC, whats the process , i went to GP as well , they told me only gynae can analyze and go to maternity. Maternity is saying go to ER , ER is saying come to us only when your vitals are not normal .Can someone guide what to do

Male, 31. I have Grade 3 (right) and Grade 4 (left) varicocele with a DFI of 46%. My first semen analysis showed 1% morphology, but a repeat test at my new IVF center showed 25% morphology, with good count and motility.

My IVF doctor recommends ICSI + PGT-A and wants to skip varicocele surgery to avoid delaying treatment.

Has anyone had a similar situation where the semen analysis improved but DFI remained high? Did you proceed with surgery or IVF/ICSI + PGT-A? I'd appreciate hearing your experiences.

Hello everyone. First of all I want to send a virtual hug to all mammas who have gone through multiple losses. I am one of you. Currently going through my third. Each year I experienced 1 loss. First two at 5 weeks and this one looks like a blighted ovum which I'm still carrying and feel devastated because of it.

I have done sooo many blood work in the past 6 month and these were what they have found so far:

1. I have pmos with Insulin resistance, homa ir 5.3 (I got into metformin and inositol, 3 months in and no change at all). High AMH of 6.43. Irregular, longer cycles but I do ovulate and get pregnant very easily.

2. Sluggish tsh (3.3 not pregnant, once pregnant it goes up to 5.5. doc gave me iodine which I think its not enough especially for my situation).

3. Genetic thrombophilia: MTHFR C677T homozygous, PAI Gene Mutation 4g/5g, ACE I/D (For these I started with baby aspirin 3 months before conceiving and now that I am 6 weeks, even though it looks like a blighted ovum, the hematologist put me on clexane 4000iui.)

I have another viability scan next week to see how things progress but with my slow rising hcg this seems impossible. Me and my partner have done karyotyping and all came back normal. My ob wants to do a d&c about this pregnancy and test the tissue. Should I go for it? This is mentally exhausting.

If there is someone with a similar history like mine and have had success after multiple losses, what protocol did you follow. I need all the advice I can get. I am not only heartbroken, but emotionally and financially distraught. I have no earthside baby, only losses :(

I have really been struggling lately. We just found out the microarray results from our mmc and d&c two weeks ago. They came back genetically normal.

This is our third loss - spontaneous miscarriage at 6 weeks in December, chemical in April, and now missed miscarriage at 9 weeks in June. We have referrals for genetics and reproductive endocrinology that we will be scheduling soon.

I am so terribly sad and discouraged. We had seen the heartbeat twice and were extremely hopeful. I don't know how to feel better. I either feel like an emotionless zombie or I am sobbing. My husband has been supportive but I feel like we are on different pages. I am not sure who to talk to because I feel like no one understands.

Anyone else had normal genetic d&c results?

Advice on coping with recurrent pregnancy loss?

I guess someone else’s nightmare is my dream
