Shari,
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It is only now after my fourth miscarrage that the doctors would agreed to test me and my partner. We start our first round of tests on friday.
Your daughter is beautiful and i will pray that all goes well for you with this pregnancy. I wish you the best of luck. I plan on continuing to try for another child after the test results come back if the doctors cannot find a reason. I try to keep faith as my son was my mirricle baby, he was premmie weighing four pound eight ounces. I wish greatly to give him a sibling whether i have to find other means of doing it or not. Once again thank you so much for sharing your story with me.

Biancha,

You are not alone! I am 40 and just had my first child at the age of 39. I had 2 miscarriages about 7 years ago and thought I would never be able to have a baby. It took a long time to get pregnant again and when I finally did, I found a Dr who was able to tell me why I was having so much trouble. I have had another miscarriage since my daughter was born, and now am on pregnancy # 5 ( I am 7 weeks pregnant now). Due to my age, we are stopping after this year. If I have this baby, then I will have my 2 children and be done. If not, then my daughter will be an only child. Until I had my daughter I would be very upset seeing pregnant women or newborn babies. I felt like I was being punished for something. Crackheads with 10 babies make it look so easy. And then watching the news and seeing horrible mothers doing unheard of things. And all I would think is.. why does that person get to have children and I (who wants one soooooo bad) could not. Do the Dr's give you any reason for your losses? I was diagnosed with MTHFR when I was pregnant with my daughter and was able to treat it with blood thinners (baby aspirin once a day) and extra folic acid, and now have a perfect 1 year old baby girl. Good news is, you know you can get pregnant and have been able to carry full term. find yourself a good HIGH RISK OB. start prenatal care as early as possible, even while trying to get pregnant. you have plenty of time ahead of you to keep trying. I wish you the best of luck!
