I have had 3 miscarriages in a row, and I have one healthy son who is 4. Has this happened to anyone else?

yes I have had an ectopic and a multitude of miscarriages before going to a reproductive endocrinologist. An educated guess says that there are some fertility issues. The chance of miscarriage is 20% so for you having four pregnancies you might expect one miscarriage statistically. The ability to get pregnant is very reassuring for you to be able to have more kids. You may have something as simple as fibroids (scarring) that are causing the loss. This can be checked by an outpatient procedure called a laparoscopy. I have had this done. Also, it could be something simple like a hormone imbalance like your progesterone level is too low to hold the pregnancy. The progesterone is produced in the ovaries the first trimester then the placenta produces it. I have had this. It was fixed by taking progesterone. The pregnancy went to term. It could be you have an incompetent cervix. The cervix is dilating and opening due to the pressure of the baby. They do a curclage (sp.?) which is just a few stitches. I haven't had this. It could be do to a blood clotting issue such as a +lupus anti-coagulent also called ACLA anti-cardiolipid antibody. If your gyno hasn't suggested testing consider getting a new one. This is a simple blood test. Most women don't know they have it but more than two miscarriages is a suspected diagnosis. I have had this. Treatment are blood thinners. What happens is that the thick sludgy blood cuts off the babies oxygen supply and the baby dies. If you jump on this there is a really good chance of you having a baby next year. You are fortunate that your issue is only staying preggers instead of most of us who have issues we have problems getting and staying preggers. Good Luck! It is hard to relax but it is much easier and quicker to be successful if you can just stay calm

I am sorry for your losses.

After three miscarriages, you need to start seeing a reproductive endocrinologist. Forget about your regular OBGYN. You need to see a specialist. There are many reasons this could be happening. Most likely some type of hormonal problem: to low a level of pregesterone, an issue with your thyroid, you could have PCOS, an autoimmune disorder, etc............... Or it could be chromosomal issue.

A reproductive endocrinologist will be able to run many tests that are not available to your doctor. They will also be much more knowledgeable about treatments. They also will monitor you much more closely than a regular OBGYN can. Once you are pregnant again and everything is going well then you start seeing your OBGYN for the remainder of the pregnancy.

I wish you the best of luck.

I'm so sorry for your lost, but what it sound like is it might be a chronological issue, you would need to see a fertility specialist to see if anything has changed with you or you husbands chromosomes. i hope you find help to your problem and conceive a healthy baby.
