    Why? How did I get here? When did this happen?

    Loss after loss after loss... after loss... after loss. In the past 4 years, I've been pregnant 7 times. I've had 2m/c, 1live birth, 2m/c, 1live birth, 1m/c. I just found out on Tues that my baby no longer has a heartbeat. I was 9 1/2 weeks and baby was measuring 4 days ahead. I still haven't had any signs of m/c. I have a f/u next Tues to see if things are starting and if not, to discuss my options... D&C. It wouldn't be my first time. I had a D&C with my first pregnancy at 12 1/2 weeks. I'm starting to get into numbers of losses that make me feel like I really have a problem... perhaps I should have thought so a couple of miscarriages ago. This is not a normal or common amount of losses. I used to joke that 3rd times a charm for me but after switching doctors just before my pregnancy with my 2nd daughter, I had all sorts of testing (which came back normal), a polyp removed, and was started on baby aspirin and progesterone suppositories. I hoped things were different now. Where did the time go? How have I suffered so much for so long? I admit it has gotten a little easier with time... much easier after I had my first daughter and learned that I could actually have children. I don't know how I would cope without my daughters. My husband and I hope to have 4 or 5 children. But it's seems it's going to continue to be a long painful road. My only comfort, besides my beautiful daughters and great husband, is that I don't seem to have any trouble getting pregnant... usually the first or second cycle. I hope that doesn't change. I'm just so frustrated and confused. It's not right. It's not fair. I wish none of us had to experience what we have to be here. --Briana

    I'm so sorry. I'm feeling much the same as you are. I'm not worried about the GETTING pregnant, just the STAYING pregnant. I just had m/c #2 (both within the last year). I am going to an ob/gyn/re Oct. 19. They want to run all sorts of tests on me and dh. I don't know that they are necessary. Hopefully it happens (successfully) for both of us, and all the rest suffering through miscarriages.
