I have been there where you are. I would have people tell me all the time that my miscarriage happened for a reason. I had 9 miscarriages in 9 years and went through times where I would not get pregnant. If you miscarried three times that is when doctor start looking for the causes. I always felt helpless and that no one would help. I would talk to the doctor and just had bad experiences with them. I eventually had to move to California because my husband was in the military. When I got there a year had past and I got pregnant and miscarried two years later I got pregnant and I had what was called a blighted ovum which mean that there was a sac but no baby inside that was the worst miscarriage I ever had which was in November. Then a couple of months later I got pregnant again and I even went to the fertility doctor to see if there was anything they could do for me but since I was already pregnant there was not much but the doctor decided to try a sort of therapy with progesterone and Lovenox which was a blood thinner. I started the therapy and my pregnancy continued after three months which was the longest I ever went I stopped the progesterone but it did continue the blood thinner. What ever it did it work and delivered in October 2007 to a healthy baby girl. Seeing what you are going through I completely understand. You defiantly want to find a doctor that is willing to try anything. After all the bad doctors I had I got blessed with one who was willing to do something. I was a fighter and I did not want to give up. If you are really wanting to have a child never give up. You are going to be emotional it is only natural. You may even start to see people around get pregnant. You may feel jealous and that is normal because you start to question why is it happening to me? Focus on yourself stay healthy and stress free. I know this sounds hard to stay stress free. I wish you the best and I hope it works out for you take care.
