Really anxious about current pregnancy

Hi so bit of back story told at 26 couldn't or wouldn't have children without some kind of help due to pcos.

I did however fall naturally three years later leading to a healthy baby who was 2 weeks late. Naively I thought okay I'm cured 22 months later I started referal for secondary infertility with a gynae was advised I could have clomid if I lost weight.

I fell pregnant again sadly I misscarried at ten weeks which stopped any help I did request blood tests and low progesterone was picked up no help offered due to only one misscarriage.

So off I went an got on with life 13 months from miscarriage I did fall naturally again and that baby stuck so we now have a boisterous two year old. Ten months later I fall again get all the way to 12 week scan baby had died at 9.6 weeks cue erpc which failed my womb was punctured then I had to do christmas 17 still pregnant with a smile for the children but I was dying inside then came medical management which was just awful so so painful and lost lots of blood.

Still determined for another I kept trying I fell pregnant November last year sadly the day before my birthday in February I miscarried at ten weeks but that pregnancy was never dated so I can imagine the baby was a few weeks younger.

So at this point my husband is refusing to carry on trying but one night of us just feeling broken we had sex needed to feel close to each other I felt so confused I cried after as he had said no but I fell pregnant again with no menstrual cycle in between.

I had in the mix arranged a sub fertility referral this time so I pushed for that appointment to be moved forward. I was offered to try aspirin if I wanted so I did hoping to save this pregnancy two days later I gushed with blood so I'm devastated but scan three days later shows a heartbeat.

Cue 17 days of bleeding but still having my original fertility appointment

booked so I keep it I saw the doctor Monday he scanned me but didn't date me baby is still there it's little arm buds were moving I burst into tears.

I asked about progesterone due to the info I found on Tommy's about the prism trial and he said no so I made a bit of a fuss saying I don't want to face another miscarriage if there is something that may help so he said he would look into it.

We'll low and behold I've been prescribed it now but the bleeding has now stopped.

I'm so worried as my symptoms have stopped and I've picked up a really nasty cold so I'm wondering did it get left too late too try the progesterone I feel so sad and anxious I'm facing another sorry there is no hear beat scan in two weeks time.

Im terrified of erpc now but I'm equally scared about medical management so much so I'm here at just after five am writing an essay crying.

Making life for me has been a very long road as I'm now 37 and feeling like my window of opportunity is closing and my body is telling me its time to give up 😢

Sorry for long post I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hi I got pregnant with my 3rd at 37 no problems with conception or pregnancy previously got to 12w started lightly bleeding went to epu had a blighted ovum mc days later naturally at home. We conceived again after 5 mths after being told mc is usually a one off felt pretty good this time it would be ok had scan at 12+3w again bad news baby had stopped at 9w we were to mc again at 13w passed most the clots but the pregnancy tissue was stuck in my cervix had to go to the epu they pulled it out with forceps then started medical management but it was unnecessary and didn’t work. Had a follow up scan 2 days later everything was fine.

Conceived again in 3 mths had took lots of supplements dhea ubiquinol pqq and more inc baby aspirin was very wary this time booked an early scan at epu at nearly 9w I had massive scan anxiety and feeling emotional broken down we found out we’d mc again a few days before Xmas carried on having blood tests over the holidays as hcg was increasingly but couldn’t find the pregnancy eventually NYD was told definitely non viable and had MVA 4 days later.

So now 2years later I’m 39 had reoccurring tests no further forward on cycle 5 it’s been a hard emotional two years I feel your pain sometimes it is therapeutic just to tell people your story and find others you can relate too. I really hope your pregnancy goes well this time, good luck with your scan xxx
