I was pregnant with my 2 daughter and found out that my hcg wasn't increasing at the rate it should have been and the ob/gyn also said she couldn't see anything on ultrasound. She was going to give me medication to induce a miscarriage. I was devastated! I found a new doctor who said he couldn't guarantee that I'd complete this pregnancy, he would do what he could to help save it. He put me on progesterone and it helped my daughter be able to thrive and grow. She is now 21 and fiesty as could be!
I had a doctor who dismissed my suggestions of progestrone supplements when they told me I was going to have a miscarriage. I'm 40 overall healthy and the doctor basically implied with age miscarriages are normal. Every day I wonder had they given the progestrone would I be pregnant. I switched doctors and am confident I will have a successful pregnancy.
My first pregnancy was a biochemical miscarriage & I was 6 weeks along & started bleeding. I cannot tell you how saddening it was, let alone having a few congratulation baby gifts I just sat there & cried over. I ended up having 2 healthy pregnancies thereafter (thank God) & now my boys are 18 & 20.
Dr does it happens if someone does not have late periods, no pregnancy test, but that month periods are very heavy blood and clots also white skin type clot come and first day you are changing pads every 20 to 30 min. That could be miscarriage???
Thank you for explaining the different types of miscarriage. I had 3 miscarriages prior to one successful pregnancy and 3 miscarriages after our son. My husband cried and told me he couldn't do it to me anymore. We've been blessed with the son we had. He's a grown man now and we couldn't be prouder.
I had an ectopic pregnancy between eight and twelve weeks along. This was fifty years ago and I still think about my lost baby. I know she’s with God and one day I will meet her.
Thank you so much! It took 13 biochemical pregnancies before I was taken seriously in 2021. The medical gaslightingbthat occurred before that time was heart wrenching. Thank you for acknowledging that every loss is a loss...no matter how early! We are still praying for our rainbow!
02:15 "Wow, it’s eye-opening to learn that miscarriages are most often caused by chromosomal issues in the embryo and not something the person did. Thank you, Dr. Shaheen, for making this clear. It’s such an important message for those struggling with guilt and grief.
Thank you so much for this, i misscarried my baby about 8 days ago. I’m scared to try again but my partner keeps telling me we need to be optmistic. Algorithisms recommended this. ❤❤ grateful
Be optimistic. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks of pregnancy in January 2022, It was my very first pregnancy; I was completely devastated and the doctors couldn't tell me why. In April of that same year I became pregnant with my rainbow baby girl who was born in January 2023 and now I am pregnant for the 3rd time. YHWH is amazing, believe in him.
Ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and water breaking at 12 weeks. Too scared to try again and it's been 1 year now that I haven't tried, but I'm longing to give my husband a child and even if we just have one child, I'll be so grateful.
After I had my daughter, my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies were both missed miscarriages. Both pregnancies made it to 6 weeks but never developed a heart beat. I had a d&c both times at 12 weeks as my body never naturally miscarried. I had no idea what to do, get tested? Go to a fertility clinic? This was considered recurrent miscarriage. Luckily I fall pregnant very easily so we decided to give it one more try. I fell pregnant again and got morning sickness the day after I got a positive result. I walked into my ultrasound appointment knowing the scan would go well because the baby was meant to join us now. He is now 5 months old, our little double rainbow baby ❤
We lost three babies, Our 2nd pregnancy was a stillbirth at 30 weeks. That was hell. Not considered a miscarriage due to being so late in the pregnancy, but the loss of our son devastated us. Our 6th pregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy, which ruptured, causing me to lose my Fallopian tube. Our 7th pregnancy was a regular miscarriage at 12 weeks. Just weeks after that miscarriage, my husband died suddenly and my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer right after he died, so that time was a shell-shocked blur which started a long grief journey for my children and myself.
This video gave me so much peace. I wish I would have had it when I miscarried at 6 weeks. My doctor referred to my miscarriage as a "period" and I've never felt so alone. I appreciate your empathy and reassuring words❤
I had a biochemical miscarriage, and my GYN at the time told me that because she hadn't tested me herself, I was never pregnant and therefore didn't have a miscarriage so I should be happy. I never went back to that GYN again.
We had problems getting pregnant, then started tracking things for our fertility doctor. This was in the 80's. Seven early miscariages. Then a late miscariage. All the same reason as far as we could tell at the time. Finally we got the right hormone routine (I hated those injections) and ended up with a live birth (now an adult). People did not understand back then. Thank you for an excellent video.
I believe I had a biochemical miscarriage this year because of all the symptoms I had. Thanks for taking the time to talk and educate in such a very calm and factual matter. This was very informative for me.
I had a miscarriage last year at 3-4 weeks. Went to a hospital where they confirmed the pregnancy with a blood test, lost it that same night. A few days later i went to another hospital where they confirmed the miscarriage, but the nurse who gave me the news said “Oh, are you sad about it? But you probably weren’t even pregnant, it was just a bad period” It crushed me. I was very young and the pregnancy was a surprise, but i certainly didn’t wanted to lose it. Now i just found out i’m pregnant again at 5 weeks, hoping everything goes well this time 💗
Thank you for all the information. I had three consecutive miscarriages between 1983 - 1985. We went for a consult at Medical Genetics where we were told I have mosacism due to chromosomes. My last pregnancy in 1987 ended in a miscarriage. I did give birth to two wonderful children. Of the 5 miscarriages one of them was twins.
Are you referring to mosaic trisomy 21? It’s a condition that deserves to be better known; a sign is repeated pregnancies with full trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome); also, the person with mosaic trisomy 21 may have some of the signs of full trisomy 21. ❤
No it wasn't trisomy the doctor said it was mosacism. He said if we tried for another child they could have webbed fingers, toes, and would have medical issues. Apparently the fact that I didn't have 46 chromosomes was the reason I had so many miscarriages.
Sorry for your little babies who died, and congratulations on the babies who lived! Women with Down syndrome have more trouble having a baby survive to birth. You are very blessed by your surviving babies, and your little angel babies watching over you!
I was due to have my 1st scan with my 4th pregnancy . But I started bleeding and was put on two weeks bed rest. After the two weeks bed rest, I was told to do a pregnancy test , if it was still positive I was to re book my 1st scan. I was so sure my test would be negative as I had, had such a heavy bleed, along with cramps ect. My pregnancy test was still positive, so I booked the scan. I was still pregnant and was told I was probably pregnant with twins. Obviously they weren't identical, as if they were the case. I would have lost both. I thank God as this was my miracle baby... As he was breech and had the cord around his neck 3 times along with not breathing after delivery. But he is a wonderful young man. He's 30yrs old now. God bless you all. Don't lose hope. We have very dark moments as women as mothers that many don't understand. ❤❤
Your video made me feel less crazy and that my baby existed and my baby mattered. I feel better knowing what happened to us has a name and that brings me so much peace. Thank you so much My story of my biochemical miscarriage. I took a home pregnancy test in February of 2024. My boyfriend and I both fight infertility so we weren't expecting anything. It was even his idea to do a pregnancy test. I was super moody and my breasts were getting swollen and tender. I took the test and waited for him to come home for lunch and we were not expecting anything. We both saw double lines and got so excited! We found a lab that could do a blood test and we went and waited for the results. It showed that my hormone levels were low but to follow-up with a doctor. I tested at home again and the lines kept fading until I started my period. I was so devastated and broken. By doing the math by day of conception I was about 6 weeks when my miscarriage happened. I felt robbed of my happiness and that our baby "didn't count" Our baby mattered and our baby counts. I tested on Valentine's Day and kept my test in a heart shaped candy box (Running joke in the house because I have a bicornuate uterus and my favourite song by Nirvana is Heart Shaped Box) That weekend that we had our baby was so beautiful. My boyfriend talked to my tummy and reassured me that we beat the odds and our baby is going to be perfect and beautiful. We are very hopeful still and now with this bit of encouragement we know we have a chance.
@@drlorashahinewe had 3 chemical miscarriages and after the first one in 2023 we had the other 2 in 2024. After that we haven't gotten pregnant. What does this mean to have recurrent chemical miscarriages and how can we become pregnant with a healthy rainbow baby and what can we do now? 😢😢😢 Me and ny husband are so scared of trying after that since we cannot handle a fourth loss and at the same time we are fighting our biggest desire to have a baby together. My husband is a few years younger than me and I'm nearing 31 and so super ready and I feel stressed out since Time is running out 😢😢😢😭
My miscarriage happened at almost 6 months. Dr could not find a heart beat just before my six months gestation. We had to wait until I had a I spontaneous miscarriage (This was in 1958) when it happened I was in the emergency room in the hospital. That is when we found out I was carrying twins. The sad part was the babies were starting to decompose, which I was forced to carry two deceased babies in my body for almost a month. Thank God the sack did not burst and release the fluid in my body, possibly causing septicemia. I cold have died leaving two children and m husband. Now they can do a scan to see what is going on inside.
My exes mom had this, but the fetus calcified inside of her body and attached itself to her uterine wall, where it could not have been removed surgically. It's called lithopedion formation.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going in today for a second ultrasound after my first two weeks ago. They only found a yolk sac and said I was measuring behind. I ordered your book that night, read it in two days, and now have questions ready for my appointment today. Thank you so much for this resource and support 🙏🏻
Dr. Shaheen’s comprehensive breakdown of miscarriage types is incredibly enlightening and compassionate. Her clear, empathetic explanations make complex medical information accessible and supportive for those who need it most. 😊
Thank you for your work! I'll be 40 in six months. I've had four healthy pregnancies and babies between ages 25-37, but in the past eight months I have had a biochemical miscarriage followed by two clinical miscarriages around 6-7 weeks. Recently found your channel and your words have been encouraging and I feel optimistic to keep trying.
I am sorry for your losses, but the math isn't mathing right. If one of your kids is 37, and you're almost 40, that would mean you would've had to have that kid when you were 3. You see what I'm saying? Lol
@@lisachiappetti6092 It actually does make sense, they’re saying that they had their fourth healthy pregnancy/child at 37 years old and the first one at 25
@@lisachiappetti6092I think that she was saying that when SHE was 25-37! Lol caught me for a second, then I reread it slower. We all gotta slow down, and try kindness first (as someone snores next to me🤬😉)✌🏻
I had a biochemical miscarriage, followed by another pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. That miscarriage devastated me and left me wondering if i'd ever get pregnant. We went to a fertility dr and did some initital tests but never finished testing as i discovered i was pregnant again straight away after a vacation. I'm now 32 weeks along hoping upon every hope for a healthy rainbow baby.
Thank you for this information and validation. I’ve had an early miscarriage, then a beautiful healthy baby girl, then 2 chemicals and now a missed miscarriage. My heart keeps breaking and my soul hurts.
I had a missed miscarriage, yesterday I should have been with Obgyn, instead I was having a D&C. I'm 43, we had been trying, I had dreadful nausea and tiredness, at 8 weeks, we had a scan, sonographer said there was a strong heart beat and where it had implanted was a good location. We were so happy. I thought the nausea was lessening and things were improving. Four days ago the scan showed no heart beat, the fetus looked practically the same as at 8 weeks. Its hard and I am sad.I dont know if we should try again immediately due to my age, or wait for one period. I thought we were the luckiest couple in the world.
I had 6 miscarriages (as far along as 4 months) between our daughter and our two sons. Spent every pregnancy terrified bc I had all day/night "morning sickness" but if it stopped for even a day, I would miscarry that baby within 24-48 hours! Every single time! I lost 40lbs with my youngest child. When I was taken in to have him as a planned c-section, the OB and my primary sat my husband down and told him he needed to sign to have my tubes tied!!! They said they knew we wanted a larger family but they told him I wouldn't survive another pregnancy! We live in Kansas. Even in 2024, your husband must consent or he can sign even if you don't know and it is done!!! I did not know I was sterilized at age 23 until 2 days later when it was given to me as part of my dismissal instructions by the nursing staff! It's been 22 years and 3 days since my ability to have a baby was taken away. Still have the most God awful cramps and severe bleeding every 28 days like clockwork. If they were going to take babies away the A$shol€s could've at least taken the uterus too! But, I was "too young for a hysterectomy, it was medically necessary". 😢
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult experience you went through 🫂❤️
wow…thats absolutely horrific. I am so sorry that happened to you. you had a right to make decisions about your own body…so sad. I have had 4 miscarriages and I have no living children. I know how it feels.
I maintained my grounds for a hysterectomy AND oophrectomy at 22.9 years old because of severe endometriosis back in 1993...I went through EVERY test, removal of the endometrial lining up to and into my diaphragm, and was MANDATORY for a 2nd opinion AND psychological examination detailing many many scenarios supporting and non-supporting the complete surgery...BIG FINALE, 85% of what my ob/gyn removed, and he got it ALL Christmas Eve the year before, had already grown back 8.5 months later AFTER 3 months on Lupron. I had a 36 week pregnancy that I spotted monthly and a 38 month pregnancy that tried to end itself from 13 weeks on that landed me on hospital bedrest with a pulmonary embolism.
Really, that was unethical. My heart bleeds. Mine was enlightened enough to tell us of the risks AND give us options. And offered services if we needed. But that was in the 1980's. Btw. Healthy adult child. Pre-eclampsia, bed rest, and so on. But we were rich enough to buy time.
Great information and I am so glad that ASRM updated their recurrent pregnancy loss definitions! I also love how you stress that they all count. I had 4 missed miscarriages and 1 cornual ectopic pregnancy between 2008-2013. 3 of those 5 pregnancies were achieved through fertility treatments. In 3 of my miscarriages testing was done and there were no chromosomal issues found. After seeing a reproductive immunologist it was determined I would likely never carry to term due to immunological issues. I was never able to have biological children but I do have a child through adoption and I wouldn’t change a thing. Even when a healthy pregnancy is never achieved there is still hope.
My first miscarriage was at 13 weeks, my 2nd miscarriage was at 6 weeks but I gave birth to my son (twins run in my family) I then had spotting all throughout my 3rd pregnancy (twins) and, due to pre-eclampsia, had a c-section at 7 months... there is hope!
I've had this video on my watch later list for awhile. I was curious, but scared to watch. I've had two chemical pregnancies at 4 weeks. I've just felt like it was my fault and then I started feeling like my pain didn't matter. It wasn't to the point for a D&C or anything. Thank you for making me feel validated and help me know it wasn't my fault. I have just felt like those pregnancies didn't matter and that they didn't need me to mourn them. But now I'm able to cry and think about the positives of knowing about them. ❤
This is a great video😊 it’s very informative and helpful to understand what I went through. My doctors couldn’t explain why I had my 2 consecutive miscarriages. Thank you for telling us woman that we are not broken, because that’s exactly how I felt at that time. I now have 2 beautiful smart boys❤
Thank you so much for this video. I had 2 clinical early miscarriages and 1 biochemical pregnancy. I'm currently undergoing IVF, and the furthest we got is a FET cycle that had to be converted to a mock transfer because my endometrium wasn't getting thick enough. That's where we are now. But when I had my chemical, my doctor gaslit me telling me she "didn't think it was a chemical", even though I got a positive Clear Blue digital pregnancy test and the same symptoms I had in my first 2 clinical losses! She said that because by the time I got an HCG test in her office the next day, it was down to zero already. But just like the first 2, my period took months to come back, and she maintained her opinion that it wasn't a chemical! I felt so not listened to and devastated! So thank you for confirming I'm not crazy and that she was wrong!!! ❤
I had several miscarriages. Mine were all early. I wasn't for sure I was even pregnant until I had cramps and pain and passed the embryo and placenta. I did carry 4 pregnancies to term. My issues were always in the first trimester. 6-8 weeks. So, life does go on and a full term pregnancy is possible in the future.
Thank you for your videos. They give me so much info and hope. I’ve had 3 biochemical pregnancies, experienced painful miscarriages before I even know I was expecting. I’ve also had one missed carriage at 9 weeks and one miscarriage where my body completely passed the pregnancy at 9 weeks. The latter two we had ultrasounds and had heartbeats just the week before the loss, but they were slow, and measuring small. So I’ve been pregnant 6 times, and only have one child. 😞 it’s hard for me. But I’m going through IVF and I have one great quality genetically normal embryo. Still remaining hopeful, it only takes one!! ☺️
I started spotting and bleeding at 6 weeks, days after my first scan with a perfect heartbeat. The doctor at the ER was kind of rude and said she couldn't stop a possible miscarriage. But she found a heartbeat.telling me, there was still "another one left". I still do not know what caused the bleeding, but continued to have a healthy pregnancy with a now 16year old.
My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. I was actively trying to get pregnant, so I knew pretty early on and it was confirmed with blood work and a pregnancy test. I went in for my 10 week check up and they told me they didnt see a heartbeat and that things has stopped progressing around 6 weeks. I was devestated, for over a month I had no idea, it was not until the day before the appointment that I had some spotting, but nothing like I would expect from a miscarriage. I ended up having to get a DnC as it was suggested by the doctor in order to help me recover faster and not go septic. That was in July and then in November I concieved my daughter, my rainbow baby.
my mom had like, 2 separate miscarriages where she said she didn't know she was pregnant (she had severe endometriosis, so she had a lot of funky hormonal symptoms, abdominal distention and irregular periods anyway), but claimed she saw the fetus and that it "looked like a jellybean." it didn't seem to bother her but ever since she told me that i've had recurring nightmares about having a bean-sized fetus slide out of me while going to the bathroom. it would be so disconcerting to just see that with no forewarning whatsoever that it was even there to begin with
Same thing happened to me around 5 weeks...Had bad cramps and bleeding heavy with clots. Went to the bathroom wiped and put came my little jelly bean ...Never got pregnant after....So it's a hard thing to deal with...I'm happy your mom was able to have you and hopefully you have a good realtionship!!!
I had a complete late miscarriage on December 6th, 2023 at 13 weeks 5 days. And it was so heartbreaking. My NIPT testing came back that he was fine no abnormal chromosomes. We are currently trying again, but it's also very terrifying because I don't think I could handle going though another miscarriage.
Have your vitamine B12 level checked. If it's too low, it can cause a miscarriage. It often happens because woman take extra b11 (folic acid) but not extra b12
Me and my husband have been ttc for almost 3 years now. we’ve experienced 3 early clinical miscarriages and 1 late term missed miscarriage at 14 weeks(baby was measuring 13). We are now currently expecting Our beautiful rainbow baby who is measuring 13w1d. Thank you for putting this video out there and the information. I didn’t realize how common Miscarriage was until I experienced it myself, and had to go searching for answers from others who had experienced this loss as well 💕
I just found out that I was pregnant on Christmas Eve. Then was told I was having a chemical pregnancy 1 week later. Blood tests confirmed both. I am still processing this loss. I am heartbroken. I find myself crying out of nowhere when my thoughts go there. I'm praying for more chances and that they will result in a healthy baby or babies.
The crazy thing about timing is this video finding me when it did. I've been on my TTC journey for about 3 years and I really thought I was successful thus cycle but never tested because I don't like getting my hopes up. Then I got my period on Sat Jul 27 but it was heavier than normal and I've had lingering cramping even though the period is gone. I'm guessing it might have been a chemical pregnancy but like you said it's hard to know. Thanks for always providing so much information ♡
I wish I lived in a country where pregnancies are taken seriously, because honestly I feel like they aren't here in Norway. When I was pregnant with my second child, I had some bleeding around 10 weeks. Here in Norway, the public health care doesn't provide ultrasounds on early stages of pregnancy, so I thought everything was fine until that bleeding. I called the doctor and they said "you are most likely miscarrying, and there is nothing we can do. You can go to work if you want, or choose to take the day off". I was in shock. I stayed at home and tried to rest, but ended up losing the baby at home the next day. When I got pregnant again after that, I felt right away that something wasn't right and looked for a private doctor. It was around 6 weeks and she saw no heartbeat on ultrasound. I came back one week after, and there was still nothing, and the baby hadn't grown anything. We even got a second opinion who agreed there was nothing else to be done. So I lost that baby too. I asked for help finding out what happened, and both public and private doctors said they do not research causes before the third loss. They just say it was probably chromosomes and that's it. Now I'm pregnant again, 15 weeks and 3 days. I am relieved I am done with the first trimester, but I am still anxious, since I don't know what caused my two miscarriages after one healthy pregnancy (my oldest is 3 now).
So sorry for your losses. They absolutely were babies, not just cells. That is the problem with a hyper secular country. They completely dismiss moms when their babies die in the womb, because they dismiss the baby being alive before birth.
I've had a biochemical miscarriage, a healthy baby, then a clinical miscarriage at 11.5 weeks. Really struggling with feeling like it's my fault. I need to be "fixed". This is all combined with anger at the idea that I need to be fixed because I'm young (22), healthy (not overweight, no health problems, regular and fertile, eat healthy, etc), and I've had a successful pregnancy (besides morning sickness, I was perfectly healthy during pregnancy, delivery, postpartum, and breastfeeding. I read the symptoms of problems that cause miscarriage and it makes me so angry. I have no symptoms of problems! I'm really hoping that the placental pathology will bring me peace because I just don't even know where to start to try and figure out why. I get so many suggestions from expensive tests, supplements, and life style changes. I just want to enjoy being a mom again
Good summary. I've had every category except septic, thanks to a complete uterine septum, which, I guess, was an example of "being broken." My advice would be to check your anatomy early in the process. Be suspicious. I had so many ultrasounds, and my clinician never really _saw_ that I had two endometrial stripes until I had an HSG following a devastating miscarriage at 19 weeks. The delay cost us 4 years and lots of miscarriages.
I miscarried in July at about 5.5 weeks. I was first diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage and was told nothing could be done to save the baby. I miscarried 3 days later. Now I'm reading that sometimes prescribing progesterone can save the pregnancy after that diagnosis. I'm frustrated and don't know what to believe.
A biochemical miscarriage followed by a clinical miscarriage (8 weeks). We then decided to do IVF. First transfer was successful. Now I am anxiously waiting for my 6 week ultrasound.
I have gone through M/C 6 & 9 And it was horrible both emotinaly and physicaly. Specialy when u ahve got 2 scans oerfectly fine and on 14th week u are told it seems the fetus expired soon after last scan. I am glad someone explained these types in detail.
Was 8 weeks pregnant, had heartbeat and everything was going fine. Suddenly I started to bleed, started with mild spotting and cramps little similar to periods. Asked my doc she told use a pad and see the color of spotting and told me to check every 30 minutes. 4 hours it was mild spotting to bleeding. When we went to visit around 10 at night they checked in scan and they showed me the baby and clear heartbeat and while doing the process there was very less spotting. So we went home and around 2 in the morning I woke up with pain similar to periods and bleeding increased and color was bright red. Tried to sleep with the pain but suddenly I felt pain similar to contractions like pain was going from 1 to 100 and then 100 to 1 and then vice versa. Knew something was wrong so when I went to washroom the sac or fetus came out, was like white gel ball surrounded by little blood, pain was still there but not like contractions. Had to go to hospital again 4 in the morning for emergency room and doc said I had miscarriage. Showed the picture so she confirmed it was it. Can you please shed some light.
All of mine were late.. 😢 I lost 3 baby girls and 1 baby boy. My last one was in 2012. Bc i only had 2 in a row in 2007 i was never able to be tested to find out why. I was able to have 1 full term pregnancy with many MANY instances per week from 26 weeks to 38 weeks getting my labor stopped with my daughter and then a preterm pregnancy of 35 weeks with twins. But out of 6 pregnancies only 2 made it...😢
I ended up in the hospital for one week loosing my baby having to give vaginal birth at 16 weeks… dr did not have a reason why it happen all they can say my white blood cells were very high and my body was fighting a bacteria even though i felt perfectly fine no fever nothing but only thing I was experiencing was contraction… which I didn’t know that it was contractions since it was my first baby it was the hardest part of my life that I had to go through depressed for a while now I’m feeling better… waited 6 months like the dr recommend but 2 cycles have pass and still haven’t got pregnant makes me really sad… since I feel like I’m ready to try again… just emotionally sad when I keep getting a negative test… praying to Jesus gives us a miracle baby ❤️
Very nice video, i rcntly had a biochemical miscarriage and i still couldnt understnd why it happned and questioned myslf if thr is any issue wid me but now that i knw its perfctly fine and now m optimistic for the future.
Forty years ago my second pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 16 weeks. I suddenly began spotting, went in and the pregnancy test came back negative and thete was no heartbeat. Several hours later i started cramping and went in to er and it came.
Very informative Thank you for sharing because I'm currently experiencing a clinical/treatened miscarriage. I'm awaiting the appointment for testings, since this is my 2nd clinical but 3rd overall.
Thank you for posting. I just found out I'm pregnant, but I'm so concerned there's a chance it's not going to work out. We were drinking like fish through the holidays and I was prescribed Doxycycline over the weekend when I was sick. I had no idea I was pregnant and now I'm devastated.
I'm sorry you are going through this stressful time. Others might judge or not understand. Not me. I was you 38 yrs ago. Accidentally pregnant because we weren't careful (Dr told me after that if you aren't taking steps to NOT get pregnant, you are actively trying to get pregnant). Not even considered the possible connection when we had 2 super drunken nights before I knew I was pregnant. In the 80s,things were old school and ultrasounds weren't common. When I missed my period, I took a urine sample to the pharmacy (no at home tests) for the 2 hr lab test to see if I was pregnant. The guy said to me, the weirdest thing:"wellllll, your test was not positive BUT it wasn't negative either". Huh?? He continued with "I'm going to guess negative". Oh.. Ok 😢. So called the ob and got in for a blood test that day and yes I was pregnant. That's when the partying worries come in. That's all I could think of. When I saw ob a month later, he said "haven't you ever seen old movies where everyone drinks and smokes, even pregnant? We didn't know better". All those babies from real moms came out fine. Just don't worry, that's more dangerous". Luckily I didn't know that her father had a cocaine addiction. I just found that out last year. I was mad he didn't tell me when I was pregnant, maybe I would have ended the pregnancy from fear. I told my daughter this and she pointed out that if he had told me, I terminated, she wouldn't be here! Omg just the thought! I raised her alone and she's never met her father. She's perfect 😉. 2 uni degrees, high level career, one man for 20 yrs and they have 2 daughters. They also provide me with a free 2 bdrm apartment in their giant house. Please don't worry. I'm 90% sure the doxycyclen is safe in preg. The drinks, remember I am you, it wasn't the smartest move but we did it, now what? I think it will be fine. Of course the whole pregnancy thing out of the blue makes us add so much guilt to an odd situation. I also smoked 3 packs a day and lived on Coke, the drink. She was perfect, calm, slept through the night from 7 weeks, did her homework, honors every year. Presidents and Dean's list in uni. This finally proved to me that it was time to stop feeling like the worst mom in the world. So I did. I have 2 granddaughters I want to see grow up healthy so I'm very different now. I'm old too 🤣. Big Nana hugs for you.
A very close friend of mine had a missed miscarriage but she hasn’t actually given birth to baby - yet. Baby stopped growing around 9 weeks it’s been 12-13 weeks now and baby is still there. She had some laboring on and off and some of baby was born, but the majority is still there. For her own reasons she doesn’t want medical intervention *until or *unless she starts to become ill (she’s being monitored weekly), her hormone levels are dropping very very slowly. She’s found it extremely difficult to find stories and experiences of women who have had similar experiences.
I had a biochemical miscarriage. They waited 3 days before they gave me an ultrasound. She then said, no sign of a miscarriage you were never pregnant. When I was weeks late and even had mourning sickness. The period was abnormal also and painful even though I normally don't have any pain and I bled for nearly 2 weeks. Was heartbreaking and went through all the lose motions
Thanks for this video. My DIL lost 3 pregnancies. 1st no heart beat @ 1st appointment. Baby stopped growing @ 7 wks. She actually miscarried 2 wks later. Isaac was born between 1 & 2. # 2 was a bit later ~ 10 wks & she miscarried days later. #3 6 months later. It was hard to call a miscarriage, but baby died ~ 14-16 wks in a pregnancy dated 18 wks. She was induced & delivered a tiny perfectly formed baby girl named Amadea. 8 months later Giavanna was born 5 wks early, but happy, healthy & will celebrate her 1st birthday in 10 days.
I had 3 miscarriages, all between 6-10 weeks. I also had a blighted ovum. I have not been able to carry a pregnancy to term. I was a dependent at Camp Lejeune North Carolina - a Marine Corps/ Navy base, that was the site of widespread water contamination. The toxins have been linked to miscarriages and several illnesses, and there is now a lawsuit in process. Employees at dry cleaners, agriculture, and other jobs can be exposed to dioxins, forever chemicals, etc. that contribute to miscarriage. Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and hormone imbalance can also cause miscarriage - though not always.
I had what i believe was a miscarriage about 40 years ago, i was very young and doing my nurse training so really didn't want to be pregnant at that time and ignored any signs putting it down to stress etc but when i looked back the signs were definitely there. After a couple of days of bleeding and contraction like pains, something came away that i can only describe as looking like the neck part you sometimes get in turkey giblets, it was terrifying and i told no one apart from my boyfriend. Thinking about it now i was so foolish, I should have told my GP and possibly had antibiotics or other treatment. Luckily there were no ill effects and i had 3 healthy pregnancies after that
God bless you and thanks for the information I got a positive result after the ivf treatment and 4weeks later my hcg level dropped and miscarriage at 5weeks I keep wondering what I did wrong this video is helpful thank you Dr🙏
When I was 16, my bf and I got pregnant. My period was late by about a week and I kept postponing the pregnancy test because I didn't want to be disappointed. The night I decided I would finally take a test, my period started. I was a little disappointed but whatever. But then I had the WORST "PERIOD" I've even had in my life. I had the worst cramps of my life, I had long and larger than normal blood clots that kept flowing, not like drips, but a chucky and somewhat congested sorta flow. I just sat in the shower and bled for that first hour or so, crying in a fetal position. I was devastated and alone. It was hard for me to acknowledge my baby in front of others because I've never heard of a term or story for a miscarriage like mine. I would even debate with myself at times, but I was there. I felt my body change and my heart break in real time. About 7 years later, I named my baby and created a rainbow bracelet in his honor. I have never gotten pregnant again to my knowledge and I'm 31 now. I'm honestly scared for so many reasons, but I'm not saying never. Thank you for everything you've shared. ❤
It happened to me too at 10weeks, after intercourse i was bleeding and i spent the night in hospital because of high bleeding i almost died, and i couldn't stop blaming myself for staying silent while i was in pain during intercourse. Now i'm pregnant first month and i'm not giving more than a kiss😊
Thank you. I didn't know that the positive test meant there was implantation. I thought it just meant sperm and egg had joined. Also, I didn't have a word for biochemical miscarriage. I wasn't sure I could call what happened miscarriages. I've been told I'm exaggerating to call it that. Thank you for the information and validation.
What happened with my second child was I made an appointment with the obstetrician because I had a positive urine test and then that morning I thought I had had my period but they told me to go ahead and come in and they did ultrasound and the baby was still there. So every week I had to come in for that type of ultrasound and every month I bled like I was having a period for six months and then the last three months it stopped talk about up and down roller coaster.
She left out the miscarriage that happened to my sister and I. We both had to give birth @ 22 weeks and 24 weeks. We both lost our children and where told it was a miscarriage 😢
I was pregnant with my second child and at 7 weeks I started bleeding. I saw my obgyn and he said I was pregnant but something was not right. I had to do an ultrasound and then I peed that 7 week baby fell in the toilet and I felt it would of been gross to put my hand in the toilet water. I came out of the bathroom and told my husband. That was 33 years ago I have felt guilt from flushing the toilet then my husband just told me God has a better plan for that baby. I could not have anymore children after that for God to me to take care of my son no more. So I have been blessed with my son and some day I will see my second child in heaven.
Amén, the same thing happened to me and I dreamed of my baby boy, I felt God was showing me my baby in my dreams. After that YHWH blessed me with a baby girl and I am currently pregnant.
@rn-healthcoachemi51 my husband said to me he had a dream that that baby was a girl and she looked like our son with the same dark curly hair. Our son then told me he would be very protective big brother if she was born.
Hi Dr lora shahine am 41 year old i just have a miscarriage with 12 weeks pregnant and i want to be pregnant again what should I do please dr i need your help
Out of my 20 yrs trying and waiting to get pregnant had to 1…1 biochemical and only had 2 drs out of many to take that seriously. Till this day I remeber 12/9/2018. I had been having massive symptoms for a couple weeks absolutly not myself. Took a test and after a few minute it was clear BFP. I absolutely taken aback. It was the weekend so told my self will test again couple days. Well sure enough second test negative went started bleeding that day couple days early. I cried so hard. Out of 20 yrs fertility struggle I have 2 other times in sure I was but never could catch in bloodwork or ultrasound 😢
My 3rd (at 16wks carried until 18 wks) and 5th ( at 24wks carried until 25 wks) pregnancies were missed miscarriages or that’s what my doctors told me, my 6th (13wks), 8th (10wks), 9th (9wks) and 10th (12wks) pregnancies ended in miscarriages also. One of the most heartbreaking experiences parents can have ❤ love to all with angel babies
According to this I have had two. I had a biochemical one and my doctor told me it was my thyroid and scheduled me to go see a specialist. I did not go because I know I had a positive pregnancy test. This would have been my 5th pregnancy. I also had one when I was pregnant for the third time. But when I went to the ER they saw a baby and gave no explanation of the bleeding, cramping and mass that I passed that morning.
We have had 3 chemical miscarriages. What does that mean and why does one have recurrent chemical Miscarriages? It has made me and my husband extremely sad and scared of trying to conceive again and since our last one in April we haven't successfully gotten pregnant again... 😢 I am obese my bmi 38. But I have a almost a 10 year old from a previous relationship and I got pregnant with him while I had a high bmi and was obese that time too. But now after a third recurrent chemical miscarriage we aren't having any luck in getting pregnant. My age is getting older and I am stressing out since it is our biggest dream to have a baby together. 😭😭 What can we do?
I just experienced 11 week miscarriage, ultrasound confirmed no heartbeat 😢, it’s my third miscarriage, 1 per year now and idk if it’s a chromosome issue or my spouse who smokes weed daily , how long should he stay clean for ?? He has been doing it for about 3 years now
My first miscarriage 2022, was after an IVF conception. The ultrasound showed embryo was not growing well (reading 5days late)...and I lost it in the 5th week after embryo transfer. My 2nd was also from an IVF concenption, lost it 10days after embryo transfer. My 3rd was natural conception, I lost it in the 6th week from LMP date.... Now I am 14wks pregnant, natural conception...and I am really praying this one is here to stay. I am 42yrs old....and I am considering having a cercilage, I do not know if it is compulsory to have it....
I had one done with my 2nd pregnancy after my first was born at 26wks. And passed away. It made my labor hell, I ended up in labor for 36 hours and got bad infection from water breaking but a delay in being able to dialate. If possible try ur best to keep things natural as possible. It made me last labor great, I have a healthy happy 3.5 year old
@@amandafields3723oh I see.....Well the consultant I am seeing now, tells me I might not need it; he is sure the previous losses had nothing to do with my cervix; and encourages me to really have lots and lots of rest, no sex for now till the pregnancy advances more...I think it is so that nothing irritates my inside maybe! But I am going to have a C- section for delivery, so I do not need to wait for labor 😀. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
@@amandafields3723...oh I see.. well the consultant I am see currently says I might not need the cercilage; he is sure the previous losses were not due to my cervix. He encourages me to have lots and lots of bed rest, and also stay away from sex till the pregnancy advances more....probably not to irritate my inside maybe 🤷♀️...I am going to have a C- section delivery of course by my age. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
I am almost 47. I've had abnormal cycles as expected at my age. I was wondering if it might be possible that I experienced a biochemical pregnancy when I started bleeding bright red at 21 days into my cycle? After a couple hours, the bleeding stopped for 2 days before I started bleeding a normal dark color. I felt mild cramping I don't usually have. There isn't enough information about biochemical pregnancy. Thank you for making this video.
Would they be considered biochemical or clinical if you haven't seen them on ultrasound but also don't have proof that they COULDN'T be seen? I've had four miscarriages and two of them I'd managed to make it to around the 6-week mark, maybe even a few days further, before losing the pregnancy. It's always been unclear to me whether those counted as biochemical or clinical miscarriages. Pregnancies should theoretically be able to be seen by then, so in that respect they seemed closer to clinical miscarriages. But at the same time, I never made it far enough to ACTUALLY be scanned, and all of my pregnancies resolved naturally and completely painlessly, just like a period. Also, the one time my clinic did scan me at 17dpt (5w2d) for my most optimistic pregnancy (number-wise) due to an ER visit the previous night, they didn't see anything and I lost it the following week, so I don't know if there was anything to be seen even then.
I was 16 weeks pregnant ( 30 years ago) and my baby just died inside me for no reason. This was a very very much wanted baby and I had to be induced and give birth to my dead baby. They called it a Missed abortion !!! I was horrified with the name they gave it but I think it is changed now to missed miscarriage.
When I had my second miscarriage (first one was because of chromosomal abnormalities and the second one was a biochemical) at 5+3 even the OBGYN said that this one didn’t count.. this was three months ago and I’m still furious about that..
I was pregnant with my 2 daughter and found out that my hcg wasn't increasing at the rate it should have been and the ob/gyn also said she couldn't see anything on ultrasound. She was going to give me medication to induce a miscarriage. I was devastated! I found a new doctor who said he couldn't guarantee that I'd complete this pregnancy, he would do what he could to help save it. He put me on progesterone and it helped my daughter be able to thrive and grow. She is now 21 and fiesty as could be!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤️
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
YES!! Progesterone saved both of my girls after 4 miscarriages. 🥰🥰
I had a doctor who dismissed my suggestions of progestrone supplements when they told me I was going to have a miscarriage. I'm 40 overall healthy and the doctor basically implied with age miscarriages are normal. Every day I wonder had they given the progestrone would I be pregnant. I switched doctors and am confident I will have a successful pregnancy.
I think sometimes doctors push abortion to limit their own liability and don't do everything possible to save the babies.
Had a miscarriage this May. Missed my period in December, currently 6weeks pregnant. Hope God give a baby in my arms coming August...
Same here. Fingers are crossed 🤞🏻
My first pregnancy was a biochemical miscarriage & I was 6 weeks along & started bleeding. I cannot tell you how saddening it was, let alone having a few congratulation baby gifts I just sat there & cried over. I ended up having 2 healthy pregnancies thereafter (thank God) & now my boys are 18 & 20.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I'm so happy to hear about your boys❤️ Thank you for watching!
Dr does it happens if someone does not have late periods, no pregnancy test, but that month periods are very heavy blood and clots also white skin type clot come and first day you are changing pads every 20 to 30 min. That could be miscarriage???
Thank you for explaining the different types of miscarriage. I had 3 miscarriages prior to one successful pregnancy and 3 miscarriages after our son. My husband cried and told me he couldn't do it to me anymore. We've been blessed with the son we had. He's a grown man now and we couldn't be prouder.
I had an ectopic pregnancy between eight and twelve weeks along. This was fifty years ago and I still think about my lost baby. I know she’s with God and one day I will meet her.
Thank you so much! It took 13 biochemical pregnancies before I was taken seriously in 2021. The medical gaslightingbthat occurred before that time was heart wrenching. Thank you for acknowledging that every loss is a loss...no matter how early!
We are still praying for our rainbow!
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I appreciate your kind words, thank you so much watching ❤ I also pray for your rainbow baby❤
What was done and how are you now
02:15 "Wow, it’s eye-opening to learn that miscarriages are most often caused by chromosomal issues in the embryo and not something the person did. Thank you, Dr. Shaheen, for making this clear. It’s such an important message for those struggling with guilt and grief.
Thank you so much for this, i misscarried my baby about 8 days ago. I’m scared to try again but my partner keeps telling me we need to be optmistic. Algorithisms recommended this. ❤❤ grateful
I'm so sorry for your loss 🫂 Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️
❤so sorry for your loss. I'm praying you get your baby soon
Be optimistic. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks of pregnancy in January 2022, It was my very first pregnancy; I was completely devastated and the doctors couldn't tell me why. In April of that same year I became pregnant with my rainbow baby girl who was born in January 2023 and now I am pregnant for the 3rd time. YHWH is amazing, believe in him.
So sorry about your loss may God bless you your owmAmen
Ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and water breaking at 12 weeks. Too scared to try again and it's been 1 year now that I haven't tried, but I'm longing to give my husband a child and even if we just have one child, I'll be so grateful.
After I had my daughter, my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies were both missed miscarriages. Both pregnancies made it to 6 weeks but never developed a heart beat. I had a d&c both times at 12 weeks as my body never naturally miscarried. I had no idea what to do, get tested? Go to a fertility clinic? This was considered recurrent miscarriage.
Luckily I fall pregnant very easily so we decided to give it one more try. I fell pregnant again and got morning sickness the day after I got a positive result. I walked into my ultrasound appointment knowing the scan would go well because the baby was meant to join us now. He is now 5 months old, our little double rainbow baby ❤
We lost three babies, Our 2nd pregnancy was a stillbirth at 30 weeks. That was hell. Not considered a miscarriage due to being so late in the pregnancy, but the loss of our son devastated us. Our 6th pregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy, which ruptured, causing me to lose my Fallopian tube. Our 7th pregnancy was a regular miscarriage at 12 weeks. Just weeks after that miscarriage, my husband died suddenly and my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer right after he died, so that time was a shell-shocked blur which started a long grief journey for my children and myself.
❤❤❤praying for your healing and peace and for a healthy baby for you.
I am so sorry to hear all that. I hope noone has done a spell on u
Oh so sorry! I cant even imagine a still born, so sad. I lost the first at 12 weeks, really not the same. Sad but it would be much worse later.
I know this scar is forever in your heart ...thank God you are healing ...🎉
@@annabrahamson4320the video says it is the same… they are all babies,potential living people.
This video gave me so much peace. I wish I would have had it when I miscarried at 6 weeks. My doctor referred to my miscarriage as a "period" and I've never felt so alone. I appreciate your empathy and reassuring words❤
I had a biochemical miscarriage, and my GYN at the time told me that because she hadn't tested me herself, I was never pregnant and therefore didn't have a miscarriage so I should be happy. I never went back to that GYN again.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult situation you went through ❤️
"unless i say it, it isn't real!" definitely physician behavior lmao
so sorry for your loss. It was real pregnancy! I had two chemicals before get pregnant again, and now 13 weeks pregnant.
That's so cruel!😢
That's a horrible and very insensitive thing to say!
We had problems getting pregnant, then started tracking things for our fertility doctor. This was in the 80's. Seven early miscariages. Then a late miscariage. All the same reason as far as we could tell at the time. Finally we got the right hormone routine (I hated those injections) and ended up with a live birth (now an adult). People did not understand back then. Thank you for an excellent video.
I believe I had a biochemical miscarriage this year because of all the symptoms I had.
Thanks for taking the time to talk and educate in such a very calm and factual matter. This was very informative for me.
I had a miscarriage last year at 3-4 weeks. Went to a hospital where they confirmed the pregnancy with a blood test, lost it that same night. A few days later i went to another hospital where they confirmed the miscarriage, but the nurse who gave me the news said “Oh, are you sad about it? But you probably weren’t even pregnant, it was just a bad period” It crushed me. I was very young and the pregnancy was a surprise, but i certainly didn’t wanted to lose it. Now i just found out i’m pregnant again at 5 weeks, hoping everything goes well this time 💗
Amen
Amen 🙏🏾 stay positive luv ❤️ you got this. Prayers up for you 💪🏾🙏🏾❤️✨️
Thank you for all the information. I had three consecutive miscarriages between 1983 - 1985. We went for a consult at Medical Genetics where we were told I have mosacism due to chromosomes. My last pregnancy in 1987 ended in a miscarriage. I did give birth to two wonderful children. Of the 5 miscarriages one of them was twins.
Are you referring to mosaic trisomy 21? It’s a condition that deserves to be better known; a sign is repeated pregnancies with full trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome); also, the person with mosaic trisomy 21 may have some of the signs of full trisomy 21. ❤
No it wasn't trisomy the doctor said it was mosacism. He said if we tried for another child they could have webbed fingers, toes, and would have medical issues. Apparently the fact that I didn't have 46 chromosomes was the reason I had so many miscarriages.
Sorry for your little babies who died, and congratulations on the babies who lived! Women with Down syndrome have more trouble having a baby survive to birth. You are very blessed by your surviving babies, and your little angel babies watching over you!
I was due to have my 1st scan with my 4th pregnancy . But I started bleeding and was put on two weeks bed rest. After the two weeks bed rest, I was told to do a pregnancy test , if it was still positive I was to re book my 1st scan. I was so sure my test would be negative as I had, had such a heavy bleed, along with cramps ect.
My pregnancy test was still positive, so I booked the scan.
I was still pregnant and was told I was probably pregnant with twins. Obviously they weren't identical, as if they were the case. I would have lost both.
I thank God as this was my miracle baby... As he was breech and had the cord around his neck 3 times along with not breathing after delivery. But he is a wonderful young man. He's 30yrs old now.
God bless you all. Don't lose hope.
We have very dark moments as women as mothers that many don't understand. ❤❤
Your video made me feel less crazy and that my baby existed and my baby mattered. I feel better knowing what happened to us has a name and that brings me so much peace.
Thank you so much
My story of my biochemical miscarriage.
I took a home pregnancy test in February of 2024. My boyfriend and I both fight infertility so we weren't expecting anything. It was even his idea to do a pregnancy test. I was super moody and my breasts were getting swollen and tender. I took the test and waited for him to come home for lunch and we were not expecting anything. We both saw double lines and got so excited! We found a lab that could do a blood test and we went and waited for the results. It showed that my hormone levels were low but to follow-up with a doctor. I tested at home again and the lines kept fading until I started my period. I was so devastated and broken. By doing the math by day of conception I was about 6 weeks when my miscarriage happened. I felt robbed of my happiness and that our baby "didn't count"
Our baby mattered and our baby counts. I tested on Valentine's Day and kept my test in a heart shaped candy box (Running joke in the house because I have a bicornuate uterus and my favourite song by Nirvana is Heart Shaped Box)
That weekend that we had our baby was so beautiful. My boyfriend talked to my tummy and reassured me that we beat the odds and our baby is going to be perfect and beautiful.
We are very hopeful still and now with this bit of encouragement we know we have a chance.
❤
I am so happy to hear that. It absolutely has a name and your experience should always be respected and honored.
@@drlorashahinewe had 3 chemical miscarriages and after the first one in 2023 we had the other 2 in 2024. After that we haven't gotten pregnant. What does this mean to have recurrent chemical miscarriages and how can we become pregnant with a healthy rainbow baby and what can we do now? 😢😢😢 Me and ny husband are so scared of trying after that since we cannot handle a fourth loss and at the same time we are fighting our biggest desire to have a baby together. My husband is a few years younger than me and I'm nearing 31 and so super ready and I feel stressed out since Time is running out 😢😢😢😭
My miscarriage happened at almost 6 months. Dr could not find a heart beat just before my six months gestation. We had to wait until I had a
I spontaneous miscarriage (This was in 1958) when it happened I was in the emergency room in the hospital. That is when we found out I was carrying twins. The sad part was the babies were starting to decompose, which I was forced to carry two deceased babies in my body for almost a month. Thank God the sack did not burst and release the fluid in my body, possibly causing septicemia. I cold have died leaving two children and m husband. Now they can do a scan to see what is going on inside.
My exes mom had this, but the fetus calcified inside of her body and attached itself to her uterine wall, where it could not have been removed surgically.
It's called lithopedion formation.
She's in her 60s+ and it's thought to still be inside of her
@@firestar4ever90calcification is serious. They couldn't do a hysterectomy after the baby was declared non viable?
@misfitbrit1989 the fetus was petrified against her organs I believe.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going in today for a second ultrasound after my first two weeks ago. They only found a yolk sac and said I was measuring behind. I ordered your book that night, read it in two days, and now have questions ready for my appointment today. Thank you so much for this resource and support 🙏🏻
I am hopeful for you❤️
Dr. Shaheen’s comprehensive breakdown of miscarriage types is incredibly enlightening and compassionate. Her clear, empathetic explanations make complex medical information accessible and supportive for those who need it most. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words😊❤️
Thank you for your work! I'll be 40 in six months. I've had four healthy pregnancies and babies between ages 25-37, but in the past eight months I have had a biochemical miscarriage followed by two clinical miscarriages around 6-7 weeks. Recently found your channel and your words have been encouraging and I feel optimistic to keep trying.
I am so glad you've joined our community ❤ I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I wish you all the success in fertility journey ❤
I am sorry for your losses, but the math isn't mathing right. If one of your kids is 37, and you're almost 40, that would mean you would've had to have that kid when you were 3. You see what I'm saying? Lol
@@lisachiappetti6092 It actually does make sense, they’re saying that they had their fourth healthy pregnancy/child at 37 years old and the first one at 25
@@lisachiappetti6092I think that she was saying that when SHE was 25-37! Lol caught me for a second, then I reread it slower. We all gotta slow down, and try kindness first (as someone snores next to me🤬😉)✌🏻
I had a biochemical miscarriage, followed by another pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. That miscarriage devastated me and left me wondering if i'd ever get pregnant.
We went to a fertility dr and did some initital tests but never finished testing as i discovered i was pregnant again straight away after a vacation. I'm now 32 weeks along hoping upon every hope for a healthy rainbow baby.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I pray for your healthy rainbow baby❤️

Just had a miscarriage in June after having a stillbirth in December... It's been tough.

I am sorry
Thank you for confirming a biochemical miscarriage counts. It hurt and it's been 6 years since then and I still cry about it.
I'm soo worried about my friend it's her third pregnancy now, please pray for her 😭 she had 2 previous miscarriage at week. Of 15
43 years ago my paperwork called mine a spontaneous abortion. Just that sentence scared me for years
I had a missed miscarriage, yesterday I should have been with Obgyn, instead I was having a D&C. I'm 43, we had been trying, I had dreadful nausea and tiredness, at 8 weeks, we had a scan, sonographer said there was a strong heart beat and where it had implanted was a good location. We were so happy. I thought the nausea was lessening and things were improving. Four days ago the scan showed no heart beat, the fetus looked practically the same as at 8 weeks. Its hard and I am sad.I dont know if we should try again immediately due to my age, or wait for one period. I thought we were the luckiest couple in the world.
I had 6 miscarriages (as far along as 4 months) between our daughter and our two sons. Spent every pregnancy terrified bc I had all day/night "morning sickness" but if it stopped for even a day, I would miscarry that baby within 24-48 hours! Every single time! I lost 40lbs with my youngest child.
When I was taken in to have him as a planned c-section, the OB and my primary sat my husband down and told him he needed to sign to have my tubes tied!!! They said they knew we wanted a larger family but they told him I wouldn't survive another pregnancy! We live in Kansas. Even in 2024, your husband must consent or he can sign even if you don't know and it is done!!! I did not know I was sterilized at age 23 until 2 days later when it was given to me as part of my dismissal instructions by the nursing staff! It's been 22 years and 3 days since my ability to have a baby was taken away. Still have the most God awful cramps and severe bleeding every 28 days like clockwork. If they were going to take babies away the A$shol€s could've at least taken the uterus too! But, I was "too young for a hysterectomy, it was medically necessary". 😢
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult experience you went through 🫂❤️
wow…thats absolutely horrific. I am so sorry that happened to you. you had a right to make decisions about your own body…so sad. I have had 4 miscarriages and I have no living children. I know how it feels.
It is well...I'm so sorry may be you go for adoption....❤❤
I maintained my grounds for a hysterectomy AND oophrectomy at 22.9 years old because of severe endometriosis back in 1993...I went through EVERY test, removal of the endometrial lining up to and into my diaphragm, and was MANDATORY for a 2nd opinion AND psychological examination detailing many many scenarios supporting and non-supporting the complete surgery...BIG FINALE, 85% of what my ob/gyn removed, and he got it ALL Christmas Eve the year before, had already grown back 8.5 months later AFTER 3 months on Lupron.
I had a 36 week pregnancy that I spotted monthly and a 38 month pregnancy that tried to end itself from 13 weeks on that landed me on hospital bedrest with a pulmonary embolism.
Really, that was unethical. My heart bleeds. Mine was enlightened enough to tell us of the risks AND give us options. And offered services if we needed. But that was in the 1980's. Btw. Healthy adult child. Pre-eclampsia, bed rest, and so on. But we were rich enough to buy time.
Great information and I am so glad that ASRM updated their recurrent pregnancy loss definitions! I also love how you stress that they all count. I had 4 missed miscarriages and 1 cornual ectopic pregnancy between 2008-2013. 3 of those 5 pregnancies were achieved through fertility treatments. In 3 of my miscarriages testing was done and there were no chromosomal issues found. After seeing a reproductive immunologist it was determined I would likely never carry to term due to immunological issues. I was never able to have biological children but I do have a child through adoption and I wouldn’t change a thing. Even when a healthy pregnancy is never achieved there is still hope.
My first miscarriage was at 13 weeks, my 2nd miscarriage was at 6 weeks but I gave birth to my son (twins run in my family) I then had spotting all throughout my 3rd pregnancy (twins) and, due to pre-eclampsia, had a c-section at 7 months... there is hope!
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. Thank you for sharing and for offering words of hope!
I had no idea there were so many different types of miscarriages. Thank you for the educational video!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
I've had this video on my watch later list for awhile. I was curious, but scared to watch. I've had two chemical pregnancies at 4 weeks. I've just felt like it was my fault and then I started feeling like my pain didn't matter. It wasn't to the point for a D&C or anything.
Thank you for making me feel validated and help me know it wasn't my fault. I have just felt like those pregnancies didn't matter and that they didn't need me to mourn them. But now I'm able to cry and think about the positives of knowing about them. ❤
This is a great video😊 it’s very informative and helpful to understand what I went through. My doctors couldn’t explain why I had my 2 consecutive miscarriages.
Thank you for telling us woman that we are not broken, because that’s exactly how I felt at that time. I now have 2 beautiful smart boys❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I had 2 clinical early miscarriages and 1 biochemical pregnancy. I'm currently undergoing IVF, and the furthest we got is a FET cycle that had to be converted to a mock transfer because my endometrium wasn't getting thick enough. That's where we are now. But when I had my chemical, my doctor gaslit me telling me she "didn't think it was a chemical", even though I got a positive Clear Blue digital pregnancy test and the same symptoms I had in my first 2 clinical losses! She said that because by the time I got an HCG test in her office the next day, it was down to zero already. But just like the first 2, my period took months to come back, and she maintained her opinion that it wasn't a chemical! I felt so not listened to and devastated! So thank you for confirming I'm not crazy and that she was wrong!!! ❤
I am so sorry for your loss and for everything you went through 🫂❤ Thank you for watching and for your kind words ❤
I had several miscarriages. Mine were all early. I wasn't for sure I was even pregnant until I had cramps and pain and passed the embryo and placenta. I did carry 4 pregnancies to term. My issues were always in the first trimester. 6-8 weeks. So, life does go on and a full term pregnancy is possible in the future.
Thank you for your videos. They give me so much info and hope.
I’ve had 3 biochemical pregnancies, experienced painful miscarriages before I even know I was expecting. I’ve also had one missed carriage at 9 weeks and one miscarriage where my body completely passed the pregnancy at 9 weeks. The latter two we had ultrasounds and had heartbeats just the week before the loss, but they were slow, and measuring small.
So I’ve been pregnant 6 times, and only have one child. 😞 it’s hard for me. But I’m going through IVF and I have one great quality genetically normal embryo. Still remaining hopeful, it only takes one!! ☺️
I’m hopeful for you too!!!
I started spotting and bleeding at 6 weeks, days after my first scan with a perfect heartbeat. The doctor at the ER was kind of rude and said she couldn't stop a possible miscarriage. But she found a heartbeat.telling me, there was still "another one left".
I still do not know what caused the bleeding, but continued to have a healthy pregnancy with a now 16year old.
My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. I was actively trying to get pregnant, so I knew pretty early on and it was confirmed with blood work and a pregnancy test. I went in for my 10 week check up and they told me they didnt see a heartbeat and that things has stopped progressing around 6 weeks. I was devestated, for over a month I had no idea, it was not until the day before the appointment that I had some spotting, but nothing like I would expect from a miscarriage. I ended up having to get a DnC as it was suggested by the doctor in order to help me recover faster and not go septic. That was in July and then in November I concieved my daughter, my rainbow baby.
Great explanation of types of miscarriages. I haven't heard of several of the types of miscarriages so this is very informative.
Thank you for your feedback and thank you for watching ❤️
my mom had like, 2 separate miscarriages where she said she didn't know she was pregnant (she had severe endometriosis, so she had a lot of funky hormonal symptoms, abdominal distention and irregular periods anyway), but claimed she saw the fetus and that it "looked like a jellybean." it didn't seem to bother her but ever since she told me that i've had recurring nightmares about having a bean-sized fetus slide out of me while going to the bathroom. it would be so disconcerting to just see that with no forewarning whatsoever that it was even there to begin with
My friends miscarriage was like this, but she fished out the jelly bean and gave it a burial.
Same thing happened to me around 5 weeks...Had bad cramps and bleeding heavy with clots. Went to the bathroom wiped and put came my little jelly bean ...Never got pregnant after....So it's a hard thing to deal with...I'm happy your mom was able to have you and hopefully you have a good realtionship!!!
@@firestar4ever90 I did the same....Always felt it was a girl...and decided since it was a week before xmas if it would've been a boy I name it Angel
I had a complete late miscarriage on December 6th, 2023 at 13 weeks 5 days. And it was so heartbreaking. My NIPT testing came back that he was fine no abnormal chromosomes.
We are currently trying again, but it's also very terrifying because I don't think I could handle going though another miscarriage.
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss 🫂 I'm wishing you all the best on your fertility journey❤️
Have your vitamine B12 level checked. If it's too low, it can cause a miscarriage. It often happens because woman take extra b11 (folic acid) but not extra b12
Me and my husband have been ttc for almost 3 years now. we’ve experienced 3 early clinical miscarriages and 1 late term missed miscarriage at 14 weeks(baby was measuring 13). We are now currently expecting Our beautiful rainbow baby who is measuring 13w1d. Thank you for putting this video out there and the information. I didn’t realize how common Miscarriage was until I experienced it myself, and had to go searching for answers from others who had experienced this loss as well 💕
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 Congratulations on your rainbow baby ❤️ Thank you so much for watching😊
I just found out that I was pregnant on Christmas Eve. Then was told I was having a chemical pregnancy 1 week later. Blood tests confirmed both. I am still processing this loss. I am heartbroken. I find myself crying out of nowhere when my thoughts go there. I'm praying for more chances and that they will result in a healthy baby or babies.
The crazy thing about timing is this video finding me when it did. I've been on my TTC journey for about 3 years and I really thought I was successful thus cycle but never tested because I don't like getting my hopes up. Then I got my period on Sat Jul 27 but it was heavier than normal and I've had lingering cramping even though the period is gone. I'm guessing it might have been a chemical pregnancy but like you said it's hard to know.
Thanks for always providing so much information ♡
Thank you for your kind words, I’m sorry that your journey has been so long and I truly wish you the best
We can be comforted by the fact every baby goes to Heaven no matter what happened. The Lord is good.
I wish I lived in a country where pregnancies are taken seriously, because honestly I feel like they aren't here in Norway. When I was pregnant with my second child, I had some bleeding around 10 weeks. Here in Norway, the public health care doesn't provide ultrasounds on early stages of pregnancy, so I thought everything was fine until that bleeding. I called the doctor and they said "you are most likely miscarrying, and there is nothing we can do. You can go to work if you want, or choose to take the day off". I was in shock. I stayed at home and tried to rest, but ended up losing the baby at home the next day. When I got pregnant again after that, I felt right away that something wasn't right and looked for a private doctor. It was around 6 weeks and she saw no heartbeat on ultrasound. I came back one week after, and there was still nothing, and the baby hadn't grown anything. We even got a second opinion who agreed there was nothing else to be done. So I lost that baby too. I asked for help finding out what happened, and both public and private doctors said they do not research causes before the third loss. They just say it was probably chromosomes and that's it. Now I'm pregnant again, 15 weeks and 3 days. I am relieved I am done with the first trimester, but I am still anxious, since I don't know what caused my two miscarriages after one healthy pregnancy (my oldest is 3 now).
Much love and strength! ❤
@@Lierelai thank you ❤️
@@GoldenJuh ❤️🙏
So sorry for your losses. They absolutely were babies, not just cells. That is the problem with a hyper secular country. They completely dismiss moms when their babies die in the womb, because they dismiss the baby being alive before birth.
@@nicolecorrado1959 thank you! That's so true 😢
I've had a biochemical miscarriage, a healthy baby, then a clinical miscarriage at 11.5 weeks. Really struggling with feeling like it's my fault. I need to be "fixed". This is all combined with anger at the idea that I need to be fixed because I'm young (22), healthy (not overweight, no health problems, regular and fertile, eat healthy, etc), and I've had a successful pregnancy (besides morning sickness, I was perfectly healthy during pregnancy, delivery, postpartum, and breastfeeding. I read the symptoms of problems that cause miscarriage and it makes me so angry. I have no symptoms of problems! I'm really hoping that the placental pathology will bring me peace because I just don't even know where to start to try and figure out why. I get so many suggestions from expensive tests, supplements, and life style changes. I just want to enjoy being a mom again
Good summary. I've had every category except septic, thanks to a complete uterine septum, which, I guess, was an example of "being broken." My advice would be to check your anatomy early in the process. Be suspicious. I had so many ultrasounds, and my clinician never really _saw_ that I had two endometrial stripes until I had an HSG following a devastating miscarriage at 19 weeks. The delay cost us 4 years and lots of miscarriages.
Thank you. I really needed to hear this.
I miscarried in July at about 5.5 weeks. I was first diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage and was told nothing could be done to save the baby. I miscarried 3 days later. Now I'm reading that sometimes prescribing progesterone can save the pregnancy after that diagnosis. I'm frustrated and don't know what to believe.
Thank you for explaining that a baby dying in the mom is not the mom’s fault. Babies with chromosome differences often have heart conditions.
There is an Incomplete miscarriage where the foetus is lost but there are retained products of conception
You mean a baby.
So the baby dies but stays in the mom?
A biochemical miscarriage followed by a clinical miscarriage (8 weeks). We then decided to do IVF. First transfer was successful. Now I am anxiously waiting for my 6 week ultrasound.
May God see you through ❤
Thank you. We have a heart beat X
I have gone through M/C 6 & 9
And it was horrible both emotinaly and physicaly.
Specialy when u ahve got 2 scans oerfectly fine and on 14th week u are told it seems the fetus expired soon after last scan.
I am glad someone explained these types in detail.
Thanks for creating this video, it brought some peace to my heart
I'm so glad to read this from you ❤️Thank you for watching ❤️
Was 8 weeks pregnant, had heartbeat and everything was going fine. Suddenly I started to bleed, started with mild spotting and cramps little similar to periods. Asked my doc she told use a pad and see the color of spotting and told me to check every 30 minutes. 4 hours it was mild spotting to bleeding. When we went to visit around 10 at night they checked in scan and they showed me the baby and clear heartbeat and while doing the process there was very less spotting. So we went home and around 2 in the morning I woke up with pain similar to periods and bleeding increased and color was bright red. Tried to sleep with the pain but suddenly I felt pain similar to contractions like pain was going from 1 to 100 and then 100 to 1 and then vice versa. Knew something was wrong so when I went to washroom the sac or fetus came out, was like white gel ball surrounded by little blood, pain was still there but not like contractions. Had to go to hospital again 4 in the morning for emergency room and doc said I had miscarriage. Showed the picture so she confirmed it was it. Can you please shed some light.
All of mine were late.. 😢 I lost 3 baby girls and 1 baby boy. My last one was in 2012. Bc i only had 2 in a row in 2007 i was never able to be tested to find out why. I was able to have 1 full term pregnancy with many MANY instances per week from 26 weeks to 38 weeks getting my labor stopped with my daughter and then a preterm pregnancy of 35 weeks with twins. But out of 6 pregnancies only 2 made it...😢
I ended up in the hospital for one week loosing my baby having to give vaginal birth at 16 weeks… dr did not have a reason why it happen all they can say my white blood cells were very high and my body was fighting a bacteria even though i felt perfectly fine no fever nothing but only thing I was experiencing was contraction… which I didn’t know that it was contractions since it was my first baby it was the hardest part of my life that I had to go through depressed for a while now I’m feeling better… waited 6 months like the dr recommend but 2 cycles have pass and still haven’t got pregnant makes me really sad… since I feel like I’m ready to try again… just emotionally sad when I keep getting a negative test… praying to Jesus gives us a miracle baby ❤️
Jesus will ....I recommend you eat all those ovulation booster foos b4 this year ends you definitely conceive
Very nice video, i rcntly had a biochemical miscarriage and i still couldnt understnd why it happned and questioned myslf if thr is any issue wid me but now that i knw its perfctly fine and now m optimistic for the future.
Forty years ago my second pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 16 weeks. I suddenly began spotting, went in and the pregnancy test came back negative and thete was no heartbeat. Several hours later i started cramping and went in to er and it came.
Thank you so much for this video. Have had this a few times recently and dumbfounded as to the reason why.
I am so sorry for your losses dear ❤🫂
Very informative
Thank you for sharing because I'm currently experiencing a clinical/treatened miscarriage.
I'm awaiting the appointment for testings, since this is my 2nd clinical but 3rd overall.
Thank you for this episode!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for posting. I just found out I'm pregnant, but I'm so concerned there's a chance it's not going to work out. We were drinking like fish through the holidays and I was prescribed Doxycycline over the weekend when I was sick. I had no idea I was pregnant and now I'm devastated.
I'm sorry you are going through this stressful time. Others might judge or not understand. Not me. I was you 38 yrs ago. Accidentally pregnant because we weren't careful (Dr told me after that if you aren't taking steps to NOT get pregnant, you are actively trying to get pregnant). Not even considered the possible connection when we had 2 super drunken nights before I knew I was pregnant. In the 80s,things were old school and ultrasounds weren't common. When I missed my period, I took a urine sample to the pharmacy (no at home tests) for the 2 hr lab test to see if I was pregnant. The guy said to me, the weirdest thing:"wellllll, your test was not positive BUT it wasn't negative either". Huh?? He continued with "I'm going to guess negative". Oh.. Ok 😢. So called the ob and got in for a blood test that day and yes I was pregnant. That's when the partying worries come in. That's all I could think of. When I saw ob a month later, he said "haven't you ever seen old movies where everyone drinks and smokes, even pregnant? We didn't know better". All those babies from real moms came out fine. Just don't worry, that's more dangerous". Luckily I didn't know that her father had a cocaine addiction. I just found that out last year. I was mad he didn't tell me when I was pregnant, maybe I would have ended the pregnancy from fear. I told my daughter this and she pointed out that if he had told me, I terminated, she wouldn't be here! Omg just the thought! I raised her alone and she's never met her father. She's perfect 😉. 2 uni degrees, high level career, one man for 20 yrs and they have 2 daughters. They also provide me with a free 2 bdrm apartment in their giant house. Please don't worry. I'm 90% sure the doxycyclen is safe in preg. The drinks, remember I am you, it wasn't the smartest move but we did it, now what? I think it will be fine. Of course the whole pregnancy thing out of the blue makes us add so much guilt to an odd situation. I also smoked 3 packs a day and lived on Coke, the drink. She was perfect, calm, slept through the night from 7 weeks, did her homework, honors every year. Presidents and Dean's list in uni. This finally proved to me that it was time to stop feeling like the worst mom in the world. So I did. I have 2 granddaughters I want to see grow up healthy so I'm very different now. I'm old too 🤣. Big Nana hugs for you.
A very close friend of mine had a missed miscarriage but she hasn’t actually given birth to baby - yet. Baby stopped growing around 9 weeks it’s been 12-13 weeks now and baby is still there. She had some laboring on and off and some of baby was born, but the majority is still there.
For her own reasons she doesn’t want medical intervention *until or *unless she starts to become ill (she’s being monitored weekly), her hormone levels are dropping very very slowly. She’s found it extremely difficult to find stories and experiences of women who have had similar experiences.
I had a biochemical miscarriage. They waited 3 days before they gave me an ultrasound. She then said, no sign of a miscarriage you were never pregnant. When I was weeks late and even had mourning sickness. The period was abnormal also and painful even though I normally don't have any pain and I bled for nearly 2 weeks. Was heartbreaking and went through all the lose motions
Thanks for this video. My DIL lost 3 pregnancies. 1st no heart beat @ 1st appointment. Baby stopped growing @ 7 wks. She actually miscarried 2 wks later. Isaac was born between 1 & 2. # 2 was a bit later ~ 10 wks & she miscarried days later. #3 6 months later. It was hard to call a miscarriage, but baby died ~ 14-16 wks in a pregnancy dated 18 wks. She was induced & delivered a tiny perfectly formed baby girl named Amadea. 8 months later Giavanna was born 5 wks early, but happy, healthy & will celebrate her 1st birthday in 10 days.
You are a good mother inlaw ❤
10 different miscarriages I thought there was only 3 lmao new sub
I had 3 miscarriages, all between 6-10 weeks. I also had a blighted ovum. I have not been able to carry a pregnancy to term. I was a dependent at Camp Lejeune North Carolina - a Marine Corps/ Navy base, that was the site of widespread water contamination. The toxins have been linked to miscarriages and several illnesses, and there is now a lawsuit in process. Employees at dry cleaners, agriculture, and other jobs can be exposed to dioxins, forever chemicals, etc. that contribute to miscarriage. Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and hormone imbalance can also cause miscarriage - though not always.
I had what i believe was a miscarriage about 40 years ago, i was very young and doing my nurse training so really didn't want to be pregnant at that time and ignored any signs putting it down to stress etc but when i looked back the signs were definitely there.
After a couple of days of bleeding and contraction like pains, something came away that i can only describe as looking like the neck part you sometimes get in turkey giblets, it was terrifying and i told no one apart from my boyfriend.
Thinking about it now i was so foolish, I should have told my GP and possibly had antibiotics or other treatment.
Luckily there were no ill effects and i had 3 healthy pregnancies after that
God bless you and thanks for the information I got a positive result after the ivf treatment and 4weeks later my hcg level dropped and miscarriage at 5weeks I keep wondering what I did wrong this video is helpful thank you Dr🙏
You did nothing wrong ❤❤❤ I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful, thank you for watching ❤
When I was 16, my bf and I got pregnant. My period was late by about a week and I kept postponing the pregnancy test because I didn't want to be disappointed. The night I decided I would finally take a test, my period started. I was a little disappointed but whatever. But then I had the WORST "PERIOD" I've even had in my life. I had the worst cramps of my life, I had long and larger than normal blood clots that kept flowing, not like drips, but a chucky and somewhat congested sorta flow. I just sat in the shower and bled for that first hour or so, crying in a fetal position. I was devastated and alone. It was hard for me to acknowledge my baby in front of others because I've never heard of a term or story for a miscarriage like mine. I would even debate with myself at times, but I was there. I felt my body change and my heart break in real time. About 7 years later, I named my baby and created a rainbow bracelet in his honor. I have never gotten pregnant again to my knowledge and I'm 31 now. I'm honestly scared for so many reasons, but I'm not saying never.
Thank you for everything you've shared. ❤
I'm now pregnant for the first time and I'm worried I can have a miscarriage we have been trying for 7 years and just worried
I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. It happened while we were having intercourse, I felt a big pop in my belly. I can't forgive myself.😢
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please do not blame yourself ❤️❤️
Yeah don't blame yourself girl. Penises can't even get up that far
It happened to me too at 10weeks, after intercourse i was bleeding and i spent the night in hospital because of high bleeding i almost died, and i couldn't stop blaming myself for staying silent while i was in pain during intercourse. Now i'm pregnant first month and i'm not giving more than a kiss😊
Thank you. I didn't know that the positive test meant there was implantation. I thought it just meant sperm and egg had joined. Also, I didn't have a word for biochemical miscarriage. I wasn't sure I could call what happened miscarriages. I've been told I'm exaggerating to call it that. Thank you for the information and validation.
What happened with my second child was I made an appointment with the obstetrician because I had a positive urine test and then that morning I thought I had had my period but they told me to go ahead and come in and they did ultrasound and the baby was still there. So every week I had to come in for that type of ultrasound and every month I bled like I was having a period for six months and then the last three months it stopped talk about up and down roller coaster.
She left out the miscarriage that happened to my sister and I. We both had to give birth @ 22 weeks and 24 weeks. We both lost our children and where told it was a miscarriage 😢
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss and your sister's loss🫂I'm so sorry ❤️
I lost my two pregnancies at 8 weeks this year. It has been devastating
I am so, so sorry to read this. I'm sending you my sincerest hugs. Please be gentle with yourself and know that it's not your fault.
@ Thank you maam💖
I was pregnant with my second child and at 7 weeks I started bleeding. I saw my obgyn and he said I was pregnant but something was not right. I had to do an ultrasound and then I peed that 7 week baby fell in the toilet and I felt it would of been gross to put my hand in the toilet water. I came out of the bathroom and told my husband. That was 33 years ago I have felt guilt from flushing the toilet then my husband just told me God has a better plan for that baby. I could not have anymore children after that for God to me to take care of my son no more. So I have been blessed with my son and some day I will see my second child in heaven.
Amén, the same thing happened to me and I dreamed of my baby boy, I felt God was showing me my baby in my dreams. After that YHWH blessed me with a baby girl and I am currently pregnant.
@rn-healthcoachemi51 my husband said to me he had a dream that that baby was a girl and she looked like our son with the same dark curly hair. Our son then told me he would be very protective big brother if she was born.
Hi Dr lora shahine am 41 year old i just have a miscarriage with 12 weeks pregnant and i want to be pregnant again what should I do please dr i need your help
Thank you so much. It is great to know about it.
My 1st pregnancy end in Misscared at 9 weeks along with issues in 2006
Out of my 20 yrs trying and waiting to get pregnant had to 1…1 biochemical and only had 2 drs out of many to take that seriously. Till this day I remeber 12/9/2018. I had been having massive symptoms for a couple weeks absolutly not myself. Took a test and after a few minute it was clear BFP. I absolutely taken aback. It was the weekend so told my self will test again couple days. Well sure enough second test negative went started bleeding that day couple days early. I cried so hard. Out of 20 yrs fertility struggle I have 2 other times in sure I was but never could catch in bloodwork or ultrasound 😢
My 3rd (at 16wks carried until 18 wks) and 5th ( at 24wks carried until 25 wks) pregnancies were missed miscarriages or that’s what my doctors told me, my 6th (13wks), 8th (10wks), 9th (9wks) and 10th (12wks) pregnancies ended in miscarriages also. One of the most heartbreaking experiences parents can have ❤ love to all with angel babies
I had my first miscarriage for my first pregnancy and I was so sad and I'm trying again how can I deal with it
According to this I have had two. I had a biochemical one and my doctor told me it was my thyroid and scheduled me to go see a specialist. I did not go because I know I had a positive pregnancy test. This would have been my 5th pregnancy. I also had one when I was pregnant for the third time. But when I went to the ER they saw a baby and gave no explanation of the bleeding, cramping and mass that I passed that morning.
We have had 3 chemical miscarriages. What does that mean and why does one have recurrent chemical Miscarriages? It has made me and my husband extremely sad and scared of trying to conceive again and since our last one in April we haven't successfully gotten pregnant again... 😢 I am obese my bmi 38. But I have a almost a 10 year old from a previous relationship and I got pregnant with him while I had a high bmi and was obese that time too. But now after a third recurrent chemical miscarriage we aren't having any luck in getting pregnant. My age is getting older and I am stressing out since it is our biggest dream to have a baby together. 😭😭 What can we do?
I just experienced 11 week miscarriage, ultrasound confirmed no heartbeat 😢, it’s my third miscarriage, 1 per year now and idk if it’s a chromosome issue or my spouse who smokes weed daily , how long should he stay clean for ?? He has been doing it for about 3 years now
I've experienced 5 pregnancy losses, 4 in a row.
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss 🫂❤️
So sorry for your loss. Prayers up 🙏🏾✨️❤️
My first miscarriage 2022, was after an IVF conception. The ultrasound showed embryo was not growing well (reading 5days late)...and I lost it in the 5th week after embryo transfer.
My 2nd was also from an IVF concenption, lost it 10days after embryo transfer.
My 3rd was natural conception, I lost it in the 6th week from LMP date....
Now I am 14wks pregnant, natural conception...and I am really praying this one is here to stay. I am 42yrs old....and I am considering having a cercilage, I do not know if it is compulsory to have it....
I had one done with my 2nd pregnancy after my first was born at 26wks. And passed away. It made my labor hell, I ended up in labor for 36 hours and got bad infection from water breaking but a delay in being able to dialate. If possible try ur best to keep things natural as possible. It made me last labor great, I have a healthy happy 3.5 year old
@@amandafields3723oh I see.....Well the consultant I am seeing now, tells me I might not need it; he is sure the previous losses had nothing to do with my cervix; and encourages me to really have lots and lots of rest, no sex for now till the pregnancy advances more...I think it is so that nothing irritates my inside maybe! But I am going to have a C- section for delivery, so I do not need to wait for labor 😀. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
@@amandafields3723...oh I see.. well the consultant I am see currently says I might not need the cercilage; he is sure the previous losses were not due to my cervix. He encourages me to have lots and lots of bed rest, and also stay away from sex till the pregnancy advances more....probably not to irritate my inside maybe 🤷♀️...I am going to have a C- section delivery of course by my age. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
That's why I wait for one full cycle to pass by before I get a pregnancy test
I got my menstrual on November 22nd lasted 5-7 days I’ve been spotting everyday since I took at home urine test it was negative could I be pregnant??
I am almost 47. I've had abnormal cycles as expected at my age. I was wondering if it might be possible that I experienced a biochemical pregnancy when I started bleeding bright red at 21 days into my cycle? After a couple hours, the bleeding stopped for 2 days before I started bleeding a normal dark color. I felt mild cramping I don't usually have. There isn't enough information about biochemical pregnancy. Thank you for making this video.
Would they be considered biochemical or clinical if you haven't seen them on ultrasound but also don't have proof that they COULDN'T be seen? I've had four miscarriages and two of them I'd managed to make it to around the 6-week mark, maybe even a few days further, before losing the pregnancy. It's always been unclear to me whether those counted as biochemical or clinical miscarriages. Pregnancies should theoretically be able to be seen by then, so in that respect they seemed closer to clinical miscarriages. But at the same time, I never made it far enough to ACTUALLY be scanned, and all of my pregnancies resolved naturally and completely painlessly, just like a period. Also, the one time my clinic did scan me at 17dpt (5w2d) for my most optimistic pregnancy (number-wise) due to an ER visit the previous night, they didn't see anything and I lost it the following week, so I don't know if there was anything to be seen even then.
I was 16 weeks pregnant ( 30 years ago) and my baby just died inside me for no reason. This was a very very much wanted baby and I had to be induced and give birth to my dead baby. They called it a Missed abortion !!! I was horrified with the name they gave it but I think it is changed now to missed miscarriage.
i had 3 miscarriages and the and the gynecologist keeps telling us that we have no problems! I've done all the tests and still I can't get pregnant?
When I had my second miscarriage (first one was because of chromosomal abnormalities and the second one was a biochemical) at 5+3 even the OBGYN said that this one didn’t count.. this was three months ago and I’m still furious about that..
