Hi, my name is Emily. I have had 2 miscarriages this year. One on May 17  at 10 weeks and another on Sept 6 at 6 weeks.  I found out that I was pregnant the first time in March. It only took us 2 months. I thought I was pretty lucky. Things were going well. Never had any sickness. Then on a Fri. in May, my back started hurting really badly. I thought this was normal as your ligaments start loosening up. Then I started spotting on Sat. I went to the ER and they just put me in a room on the maternity floor which was nice. I had an ultrasound and the heart wasn't beating, the baby wasn't as big as it was supposed to be at 10 weeks, and my hormones weren't where they should've been. They said I lost it before I was 10 weeks. So I didn't pass everything til Thurs. The doctor said it would be like a "mini-labor" with just really bad cramps and clots. Horrendous pain/cramps every 15 mintes for about 1 1/2 hours was more like it. I called the nurse and  she put me on bed rest for the weekend to help slow the bleeding. I was back at work the next week.
After about a month, we said "whatever happens, happens." We weren't really trying, but we weren't preventing it either. And lo and behold, we got pregnant again in July. This time, I had a little sickness but no throwing up or anything. I just got a little sick when I didn't eat and even when I did eat. Then all of a sudden, the sickness stopped. I knew something was wrong. Then on a Fri, I started spotting again. I called the nurse and she put me on bed rest to see if it would stop and told me to call on Mon. I saw a doctor and she said since it stopped that I should be ok and sent me home. Then it all started again on that Fri.  Sunday afternoon, I went to the ER. I knew what was happening and just wanted something for the pain. I didn't get anything but regular tylenol after being there for hours in pain, which wasn't as bad as last time, but lasted more hours.  I've had some blood tests done and they came back normal, so they won't do anymore testing til after a 3rd miscarriage. Now I've had 1 period since then and this dread just comes over me. I know it's not a miscarriage, but the bleeding and cramps just bring back that dread. Does anyone else feel this way?

My story is similar to yours and I know exactly how you feel. I have also had 2 miscarriages, one last year and one a few weeks ago. I do have a 3 year old so I know I can carry. I recently discovered that I have Anti E in my blood and am currently waiting for some test results.
We are also trying to conceive even though we are waiting for results. I dont want to waste any time, and we have also said 'what will be will be'. Dont know until you try. 
You will always have constant reminders of what you have been through. I have a friend who I became pregnant with at the same time, she is now 14 weeks and I have nothing.
Everyone says it, but it does get easier. Hopefully your med will help you and all will be ok.

Let me start off by expressing my deepest sympathies for you losses. I have experienced a loss at 6 weeks in August and finding out that other people who is due or scheduled to have their babies right around the same time my little angel would of been expecting to arrive. And the only way I found out that I was slowly losing my angel when I thought I was having a "bad menstral" like I had the previous month. Because I bled and spotted for a couple of day and stopped then nothing and then the big gush. I found out in the doctors office that I was pregnant, and I was shocked and excited and felt loved for this little suprise, when I got the BUT...they stated that I was going thru a miscarriage or that the little one was in my tubes.  So after a couple of weeks of going thru the anxiety of my hCG levels going up and then started to go down, my little angel made its wings. So now every month when AF comes it scares me cause now I do not know if I am pregnant and going to lose it or it just my AF. Especially since I have 2 perfectly healthy babies, and did not have too much trouble with neither.
 
But don't stress too much. And if you need anything the girls on this board are very supportive and helpful.

I am so sorry for your losses.  My m/c are pretty similiar to yours.  The ironic thing is that both of my m/c were on fridays.  I will never schedule another appt in the future on a friday!
 
With my 1st m/c, I went in at 11 weeks and there was no hb.  I didnt have any signs or symptoms of a m/c.  I waited another week and went in for another ultrasound.  There was still nothing.  I had a d&c done on dec. 1st.  I got pregnant again in March and miscarried in May at 6 weeks, this time naturally.  Like you said, it was the WORST cramps and pain ever.  I hope to NEVER go through that again.  I have had 4 cycles since and really hoping for a BFP soon.  Hopefully you can get your BFP soon, too!  Im sending you lots of hugs and prayers!

I am so sorry for your losses.  Dealing with one loss is hard enough, I can't imagine the pain that goes with dealing with a second (or third or fourth, as is the case with some ladies on this board).  This board has helped me out alot and I'm sure you'll find that it will be comforting for you as well.

I am so sorry to read what you have gone through.  This board is a great place of support.  It really helped me cope when I had my m/c in September.
