The Natural Fertility Community

Hello everyone. I just had my 9th miscarriage. My story is long as I believe some of you will understand. I have been working with a fertility specialist who specializes in Recurrent Miscarriages with no success. After 3 miscarriages in a row I was told there was nothing else they could do for me short of IVF, with/without donor eggs or use of a surrogate. I have had every test under the sun. All come back 'normal'. I've been tested numerous times for immunological response. I have had a keryotype done, chromosomes OK. No one can tell me if its my eggs or my uterus. I'm at a loss. The last three were all one after the other, I don't suffer from infertility in the traditional sense because I can get pregnant I just can't keep them! It's heartbreaking. I was alerted to this website by my beloved cousin who believes wholeheartedly in natural health and its healing properties. With all I've been through I'll try anything with an open mind. I will give it my all. My question to any who can answer it is where do I start? I can't take it all. I don't even know what's wrong. Please if someone could give me some direction it would be greatly appreciated. For my last three pregnancies I took Clomid on cycle days 5-9, ovulated like clock work on day 16 and started oral progesterone on day 18. The Clomid was used to boost my hormones and I have tested low for progesterone on a few occasions. All 9 of my loses have been early, between weeks 4 and 8. I'm ordering the fertility cleanse today but would love to know what else I can add to it to possibly help. Thank you all in advance, Monica from MN

Hi There~

I am so so sorry to hear of your losses. I too am a recurrent miscarriage sufferer. Youre absolutely right...its devastating! My husband and I were lucky enough to have two little boys before the miscarriages started. In the last 11 months, I have suffered 3. Like you, they were all early. One was a few days after learning I was pregnant, one was a blighted ovum at 7 weeks, and the latest and most difficult was a day before week 8. I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemmorhage at week 5, but Peanut hung on until almost week 8. Ive also undergone every test out there, and my results presented as "normal". Its so frusterating! Currently I am taking a fertility supplement called Pro Creation, which tastes nasty but I REALLY like what its doing for me. I am also taking Maca, Royal Jelly, Vitex and Dong Quai. As of today I just started an organic red raspberry leaf tea. Sweetened with honey its quite good! My OB will be putting my on progesterone if I manage to become pregnant again (Im in the Two Week Wait period) and we'll see what happens then. Thhis site has SOOOO much helpful information on it! Im putting my faith in what the supplements can do to help! Hope all that helps, and GOOD LUCK!

Cowgirl Chic,
Thank you so much for your reply you can't imagine how nice it feels to find a kindred soul. I have never met anyone with my story. Everyone I know who is going through infertility seem to have a recognizable condition. PCOS, Endometriosis, Tilted Uterus, Immunological disorders all things I have been tested for and all of which I do not have. In a way that's great but I also wish there was something besides myself that I could blame. Miscarriages are kind of a taboo subject sometimes don't you think? Maybe it's just my family. I know I can see peoples discomfort if I try to talk about it. I know they mean well but I also understand they are at a lose to find something to say to comfort me. Because of this I find myself keeping it inside. It is really taking its toll on me. I feel like I need to get my feelings out but I don't want to burden anyone with my sorrow. So thank you so much replying. You are very blessed to have two children. I know it's hard, believe me, when you want something so bad but stay positive, be proactive and remember you can do it you've done it twice before!! Take care and I would love to hear how things are working for you. Monica in MN

Thank you Dalene for your suggestions, I have read those. A few times in fact! They hold a lot of information and I am grateful for that. I have never found such great information all in one location. I have ordered the fertility cleanse kit along with some other herbs suggested. I'm sure I will have plenty more questions as I progress through my journey using Natural Fertility supplements. Take care, Monica in MN

Hi Again~

Yes, again you are absolutely right!! I am sooo sick of all my friends and family telling me "Oh that sucks. Maybe next time" after each miscarriage. Then the next time rolls around, and when it happens again, what do you hear? "Oh that sucks. Maybe next time." I always feel so....alone when it happens. None of my friends have suffered one and have no clue how emotionally and physically painful it is to lose a baby, no matter what stage of pregnancy one is in. Truth be told, I STILL to this day have nightmares about seeing Peanut pass from me. It was horrific. One thing I did for myself after losing Peanut was I purchased a sterling liver heart charm with two baby feet on it and attatched it to a braclet with a charm that says "cherish" on it. When I feel sad about losing the baby, I have something tangible to hold onto. I would have been 20 weeks now. It still hurts sooo bad to think about that. And knowing that my family isn't "complete" and having to deal with recurrent miscarriages makes it that much harder. Thats why I am so very thankful that I have found this website. I have done many of the recommended lifestyle changes and LOVE the results so far. I am praying that taking charge of staying 100% healthy will help. Hopefully you too can find that kind of solice here.
