I was pregnant with my 2 daughter and found out that my hcg wasn't increasing at the rate it should have been and the ob/gyn also said she couldn't see anything on ultrasound. She was going to give me medication to induce a miscarriage. I was devastated! I found a new doctor who said he couldn't guarantee that I'd complete this pregnancy, he would do what he could to help save it. He put me on progesterone and it helped my daughter be able to thrive and grow. She is now 21 and fiesty as could be!
I had a doctor who dismissed my suggestions of progestrone supplements when they told me I was going to have a miscarriage. I'm 40 overall healthy and the doctor basically implied with age miscarriages are normal. Every day I wonder had they given the progestrone would I be pregnant. I switched doctors and am confident I will have a successful pregnancy.
My first pregnancy was a biochemical miscarriage & I was 6 weeks along & started bleeding. I cannot tell you how saddening it was, let alone having a few congratulation baby gifts I just sat there & cried over. I ended up having 2 healthy pregnancies thereafter (thank God) & now my boys are 18 & 20.
I had a biochemical miscarriage, and my GYN at the time told me that because she hadn't tested me herself, I was never pregnant and therefore didn't have a miscarriage so I should be happy. I never went back to that GYN again.
Thank you so much for this, i misscarried my baby about 8 days ago. I’m scared to try again but my partner keeps telling me we need to be optmistic. Algorithisms recommended this. ❤❤ grateful
Be optimistic. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks of pregnancy in January 2022, It was my very first pregnancy; I was completely devastated and the doctors couldn't tell me why. In April of that same year I became pregnant with my rainbow baby girl who was born in January 2023 and now I am pregnant for the 3rd time. YHWH is amazing, believe in him.
Thank you so much! It took 13 biochemical pregnancies before I was taken seriously in 2021. The medical gaslightingbthat occurred before that time was heart wrenching. Thank you for acknowledging that every loss is a loss...no matter how early! We are still praying for our rainbow!
Thank you for explaining the different types of miscarriage. I had 3 miscarriages prior to one successful pregnancy and 3 miscarriages after our son. My husband cried and told me he couldn't do it to me anymore. We've been blessed with the son we had. He's a grown man now and we couldn't be prouder.
We lost three babies, Our 2nd pregnancy was a stillbirth at 30 weeks. That was hell. Not considered a miscarriage due to being so late in the pregnancy, but the loss of our son devastated us. Our 6th pregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy, which ruptured, causing me to lose my Fallopian tube. Our 7th pregnancy was a regular miscarriage at 12 weeks. Just weeks after that miscarriage, my husband died suddenly and my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer right after he died, so that time was a shell-shocked blur which started a long grief journey for my children and myself.
I believe I had a biochemical miscarriage this year because of all the symptoms I had. Thanks for taking the time to talk and educate in such a very calm and factual matter. This was very informative for me.
Thank you for this information and validation. I’ve had an early miscarriage, then a beautiful healthy baby girl, then 2 chemicals and now a missed miscarriage. My heart keeps breaking and my soul hurts.
Thank you for all the information. I had three consecutive miscarriages between 1983 - 1985. We went for a consult at Medical Genetics where we were told I have mosacism due to chromosomes. My last pregnancy in 1987 ended in a miscarriage. I did give birth to two wonderful children. Of the 5 miscarriages one of them was twins.
Are you referring to mosaic trisomy 21? It’s a condition that deserves to be better known; a sign is repeated pregnancies with full trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome); also, the person with mosaic trisomy 21 may have some of the signs of full trisomy 21. ❤
No it wasn't trisomy the doctor said it was mosacism. He said if we tried for another child they could have webbed fingers, toes, and would have medical issues. Apparently the fact that I didn't have 46 chromosomes was the reason I had so many miscarriages.
Sorry for your little babies who died, and congratulations on the babies who lived! Women with Down syndrome have more trouble having a baby survive to birth. You are very blessed by your surviving babies, and your little angel babies watching over you!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going in today for a second ultrasound after my first two weeks ago. They only found a yolk sac and said I was measuring behind. I ordered your book that night, read it in two days, and now have questions ready for my appointment today. Thank you so much for this resource and support 🙏🏻
Your video made me feel less crazy and that my baby existed and my baby mattered. I feel better knowing what happened to us has a name and that brings me so much peace. Thank you so much My story of my biochemical miscarriage. I took a home pregnancy test in February of 2024. My boyfriend and I both fight infertility so we weren't expecting anything. It was even his idea to do a pregnancy test. I was super moody and my breasts were getting swollen and tender. I took the test and waited for him to come home for lunch and we were not expecting anything. We both saw double lines and got so excited! We found a lab that could do a blood test and we went and waited for the results. It showed that my hormone levels were low but to follow-up with a doctor. I tested at home again and the lines kept fading until I started my period. I was so devastated and broken. By doing the math by day of conception I was about 6 weeks when my miscarriage happened. I felt robbed of my happiness and that our baby "didn't count" Our baby mattered and our baby counts. I tested on Valentine's Day and kept my test in a heart shaped candy box (Running joke in the house because I have a bicornuate uterus and my favourite song by Nirvana is Heart Shaped Box) That weekend that we had our baby was so beautiful. My boyfriend talked to my tummy and reassured me that we beat the odds and our baby is going to be perfect and beautiful. We are very hopeful still and now with this bit of encouragement we know we have a chance.
I had a biochemical miscarriage, followed by another pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. That miscarriage devastated me and left me wondering if i'd ever get pregnant. We went to a fertility dr and did some initital tests but never finished testing as i discovered i was pregnant again straight away after a vacation. I'm now 32 weeks along hoping upon every hope for a healthy rainbow baby.
After I had my daughter, my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies were both missed miscarriages. Both pregnancies made it to 6 weeks but never developed a heart beat. I had a d&c both times at 12 weeks as my body never naturally miscarried. I had no idea what to do, get tested? Go to a fertility clinic? This was considered recurrent miscarriage. Luckily I fall pregnant very easily so we decided to give it one more try. I fell pregnant again and got morning sickness the day after I got a positive result. I walked into my ultrasound appointment knowing the scan would go well because the baby was meant to join us now. He is now 5 months old, our little double rainbow baby ❤
I was pregnant with my second child and at 7 weeks I started bleeding. I saw my obgyn and he said I was pregnant but something was not right. I had to do an ultrasound and then I peed that 7 week baby fell in the toilet and I felt it would of been gross to put my hand in the toilet water. I came out of the bathroom and told my husband. That was 33 years ago I have felt guilt from flushing the toilet then my husband just told me God has a better plan for that baby. I could not have anymore children after that for God to me to take care of my son no more. So I have been blessed with my son and some day I will see my second child in heaven.
Amén, the same thing happened to me and I dreamed of my baby boy, I felt God was showing me my baby in my dreams. After that YHWH blessed me with a baby girl and I am currently pregnant.
@rn-healthcoachemi51 my husband said to me he had a dream that that baby was a girl and she looked like our son with the same dark curly hair. Our son then told me he would be very protective big brother if she was born.
My miscarriage happened at almost 6 months. Dr could not find a heart beat just before my six months gestation. We had to wait until I had a I spontaneous miscarriage (This was in 1958) when it happened I was in the emergency room in the hospital. That is when we found out I was carrying twins. The sad part was the babies were starting to decompose, which I was forced to carry two deceased babies in my body for almost a month. Thank God the sack did not burst and release the fluid in my body, possibly causing septicemia. I cold have died leaving two children and m husband. Now they can do a scan to see what is going on inside.
My exes mom had this, but the fetus calcified inside of her body and attached itself to her uterine wall, where it could not have been removed surgically. It's called lithopedion formation.
My first miscarriage was at 13 weeks, my 2nd miscarriage was at 6 weeks but I gave birth to my son (twins run in my family) I then had spotting all throughout my 3rd pregnancy (twins) and, due to pre-eclampsia, had a c-section at 7 months... there is hope!
Thank you for your work! I'll be 40 in six months. I've had four healthy pregnancies and babies between ages 25-37, but in the past eight months I have had a biochemical miscarriage followed by two clinical miscarriages around 6-7 weeks. Recently found your channel and your words have been encouraging and I feel optimistic to keep trying.
I am sorry for your losses, but the math isn't mathing right. If one of your kids is 37, and you're almost 40, that would mean you would've had to have that kid when you were 3. You see what I'm saying? Lol
@@lisachiappetti6092 It actually does make sense, they’re saying that they had their fourth healthy pregnancy/child at 37 years old and the first one at 25
@@lisachiappetti6092I think that she was saying that when SHE was 25-37! Lol caught me for a second, then I reread it slower. We all gotta slow down, and try kindness first (as someone snores next to me🤬😉)✌🏻
I had 6 miscarriages (as far along as 4 months) between our daughter and our two sons. Spent every pregnancy terrified bc I had all day/night "morning sickness" but if it stopped for even a day, I would miscarry that baby within 24-48 hours! Every single time! I lost 40lbs with my youngest child. When I was taken in to have him as a planned c-section, the OB and my primary sat my husband down and told him he needed to sign to have my tubes tied!!! They said they knew we wanted a larger family but they told him I wouldn't survive another pregnancy! We live in Kansas. Even in 2024, your husband must consent or he can sign even if you don't know and it is done!!! I did not know I was sterilized at age 23 until 2 days later when it was given to me as part of my dismissal instructions by the nursing staff! It's been 22 years and 3 days since my ability to have a baby was taken away. Still have the most God awful cramps and severe bleeding every 28 days like clockwork. If they were going to take babies away the A$shol€s could've at least taken the uterus too! But, I was "too young for a hysterectomy, it was medically necessary". 😢
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult experience you went through 🫂❤️
wow…thats absolutely horrific. I am so sorry that happened to you. you had a right to make decisions about your own body…so sad. I have had 4 miscarriages and I have no living children. I know how it feels.
I maintained my grounds for a hysterectomy AND oophrectomy at 22.9 years old because of severe endometriosis back in 1993...I went through EVERY test, removal of the endometrial lining up to and into my diaphragm, and was MANDATORY for a 2nd opinion AND psychological examination detailing many many scenarios supporting and non-supporting the complete surgery...BIG FINALE, 85% of what my ob/gyn removed, and he got it ALL Christmas Eve the year before, had already grown back 8.5 months later AFTER 3 months on Lupron. I had a 36 week pregnancy that I spotted monthly and a 38 month pregnancy that tried to end itself from 13 weeks on that landed me on hospital bedrest with a pulmonary embolism.
Dr. Shaheen’s comprehensive breakdown of miscarriage types is incredibly enlightening and compassionate. Her clear, empathetic explanations make complex medical information accessible and supportive for those who need it most. 😊
Me and my husband have been ttc for almost 3 years now. we’ve experienced 3 early clinical miscarriages and 1 late term missed miscarriage at 14 weeks(baby was measuring 13). We are now currently expecting Our beautiful rainbow baby who is measuring 13w1d. Thank you for putting this video out there and the information. I didn’t realize how common Miscarriage was until I experienced it myself, and had to go searching for answers from others who had experienced this loss as well 💕
I had an ectopic pregnancy between eight and twelve weeks along. This was fifty years ago and I still think about my lost baby. I know she’s with God and one day I will meet her.
This is a great video😊 it’s very informative and helpful to understand what I went through. My doctors couldn’t explain why I had my 2 consecutive miscarriages. Thank you for telling us woman that we are not broken, because that’s exactly how I felt at that time. I now have 2 beautiful smart boys❤
Thank you so much for this video. I had 2 clinical early miscarriages and 1 biochemical pregnancy. I'm currently undergoing IVF, and the furthest we got is a FET cycle that had to be converted to a mock transfer because my endometrium wasn't getting thick enough. That's where we are now. But when I had my chemical, my doctor gaslit me telling me she "didn't think it was a chemical", even though I got a positive Clear Blue digital pregnancy test and the same symptoms I had in my first 2 clinical losses! She said that because by the time I got an HCG test in her office the next day, it was down to zero already. But just like the first 2, my period took months to come back, and she maintained her opinion that it wasn't a chemical! I felt so not listened to and devastated! So thank you for confirming I'm not crazy and that she was wrong!!! ❤
Great information and I am so glad that ASRM updated their recurrent pregnancy loss definitions! I also love how you stress that they all count. I had 4 missed miscarriages and 1 cornual ectopic pregnancy between 2008-2013. 3 of those 5 pregnancies were achieved through fertility treatments. In 3 of my miscarriages testing was done and there were no chromosomal issues found. After seeing a reproductive immunologist it was determined I would likely never carry to term due to immunological issues. I was never able to have biological children but I do have a child through adoption and I wouldn’t change a thing. Even when a healthy pregnancy is never achieved there is still hope.
I started spotting and bleeding at 6 weeks, days after my first scan with a perfect heartbeat. The doctor at the ER was kind of rude and said she couldn't stop a possible miscarriage. But she found a heartbeat.telling me, there was still "another one left". I still do not know what caused the bleeding, but continued to have a healthy pregnancy with a now 16year old.
I had a complete late miscarriage on December 6th, 2023 at 13 weeks 5 days. And it was so heartbreaking. My NIPT testing came back that he was fine no abnormal chromosomes. We are currently trying again, but it's also very terrifying because I don't think I could handle going though another miscarriage.
Thank you for your videos. They give me so much info and hope. I’ve had 3 biochemical pregnancies, experienced painful miscarriages before I even know I was expecting. I’ve also had one missed carriage at 9 weeks and one miscarriage where my body completely passed the pregnancy at 9 weeks. The latter two we had ultrasounds and had heartbeats just the week before the loss, but they were slow, and measuring small. So I’ve been pregnant 6 times, and only have one child. 😞 it’s hard for me. But I’m going through IVF and I have one great quality genetically normal embryo. Still remaining hopeful, it only takes one!! ☺️
What happened with my second child was I made an appointment with the obstetrician because I had a positive urine test and then that morning I thought I had had my period but they told me to go ahead and come in and they did ultrasound and the baby was still there. So every week I had to come in for that type of ultrasound and every month I bled like I was having a period for six months and then the last three months it stopped talk about up and down roller coaster.
Thank you. I didn't know that the positive test meant there was implantation. I thought it just meant sperm and egg had joined. Also, I didn't have a word for biochemical miscarriage. I wasn't sure I could call what happened miscarriages. I've been told I'm exaggerating to call it that. Thank you for the information and validation.
my mom had like, 2 separate miscarriages where she said she didn't know she was pregnant (she had severe endometriosis, so she had a lot of funky hormonal symptoms, abdominal distention and irregular periods anyway), but claimed she saw the fetus and that it "looked like a jellybean." it didn't seem to bother her but ever since she told me that i've had recurring nightmares about having a bean-sized fetus slide out of me while going to the bathroom. it would be so disconcerting to just see that with no forewarning whatsoever that it was even there to begin with
Same thing happened to me around 5 weeks...Had bad cramps and bleeding heavy with clots. Went to the bathroom wiped and put came my little jelly bean ...Never got pregnant after....So it's a hard thing to deal with...I'm happy your mom was able to have you and hopefully you have a good realtionship!!!
The crazy thing about timing is this video finding me when it did. I've been on my TTC journey for about 3 years and I really thought I was successful thus cycle but never tested because I don't like getting my hopes up. Then I got my period on Sat Jul 27 but it was heavier than normal and I've had lingering cramping even though the period is gone. I'm guessing it might have been a chemical pregnancy but like you said it's hard to know. Thanks for always providing so much information ♡
My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. I was actively trying to get pregnant, so I knew pretty early on and it was confirmed with blood work and a pregnancy test. I went in for my 10 week check up and they told me they didnt see a heartbeat and that things has stopped progressing around 6 weeks. I was devestated, for over a month I had no idea, it was not until the day before the appointment that I had some spotting, but nothing like I would expect from a miscarriage. I ended up having to get a DnC as it was suggested by the doctor in order to help me recover faster and not go septic. That was in July and then in November I concieved my daughter, my rainbow baby.
I had several miscarriages. Mine were all early. I wasn't for sure I was even pregnant until I had cramps and pain and passed the embryo and placenta. I did carry 4 pregnancies to term. My issues were always in the first trimester. 6-8 weeks. So, life does go on and a full term pregnancy is possible in the future.
All of mine were late.. 😢 I lost 3 baby girls and 1 baby boy. My last one was in 2012. Bc i only had 2 in a row in 2007 i was never able to be tested to find out why. I was able to have 1 full term pregnancy with many MANY instances per week from 26 weeks to 38 weeks getting my labor stopped with my daughter and then a preterm pregnancy of 35 weeks with twins. But out of 6 pregnancies only 2 made it...😢
A very close friend of mine had a missed miscarriage but she hasn’t actually given birth to baby - yet. Baby stopped growing around 9 weeks it’s been 12-13 weeks now and baby is still there. She had some laboring on and off and some of baby was born, but the majority is still there. For her own reasons she doesn’t want medical intervention *until or *unless she starts to become ill (she’s being monitored weekly), her hormone levels are dropping very very slowly. She’s found it extremely difficult to find stories and experiences of women who have had similar experiences.
I wish I lived in a country where pregnancies are taken seriously, because honestly I feel like they aren't here in Norway. When I was pregnant with my second child, I had some bleeding around 10 weeks. Here in Norway, the public health care doesn't provide ultrasounds on early stages of pregnancy, so I thought everything was fine until that bleeding. I called the doctor and they said "you are most likely miscarrying, and there is nothing we can do. You can go to work if you want, or choose to take the day off". I was in shock. I stayed at home and tried to rest, but ended up losing the baby at home the next day. When I got pregnant again after that, I felt right away that something wasn't right and looked for a private doctor. It was around 6 weeks and she saw no heartbeat on ultrasound. I came back one week after, and there was still nothing, and the baby hadn't grown anything. We even got a second opinion who agreed there was nothing else to be done. So I lost that baby too. I asked for help finding out what happened, and both public and private doctors said they do not research causes before the third loss. They just say it was probably chromosomes and that's it. Now I'm pregnant again, 15 weeks and 3 days. I am relieved I am done with the first trimester, but I am still anxious, since I don't know what caused my two miscarriages after one healthy pregnancy (my oldest is 3 now).
So sorry for your losses. They absolutely were babies, not just cells. That is the problem with a hyper secular country. They completely dismiss moms when their babies die in the womb, because they dismiss the baby being alive before birth.
Thanks for this video. My DIL lost 3 pregnancies. 1st no heart beat @ 1st appointment. Baby stopped growing @ 7 wks. She actually miscarried 2 wks later. Isaac was born between 1 & 2. # 2 was a bit later ~ 10 wks & she miscarried days later. #3 6 months later. It was hard to call a miscarriage, but baby died ~ 14-16 wks in a pregnancy dated 18 wks. She was induced & delivered a tiny perfectly formed baby girl named Amadea. 8 months later Giavanna was born 5 wks early, but happy, healthy & will celebrate her 1st birthday in 10 days.
I have gone through M/C 6 & 9 And it was horrible both emotinaly and physicaly. Specialy when u ahve got 2 scans oerfectly fine and on 14th week u are told it seems the fetus expired soon after last scan. I am glad someone explained these types in detail.
I ended up in the hospital for one week loosing my baby having to give vaginal birth at 16 weeks… dr did not have a reason why it happen all they can say my white blood cells were very high and my body was fighting a bacteria even though i felt perfectly fine no fever nothing but only thing I was experiencing was contraction… which I didn’t know that it was contractions since it was my first baby it was the hardest part of my life that I had to go through depressed for a while now I’m feeling better… waited 6 months like the dr recommend but 2 cycles have pass and still haven’t got pregnant makes me really sad… since I feel like I’m ready to try again… just emotionally sad when I keep getting a negative test… praying to Jesus gives us a miracle baby ❤️
Good summary. I've had every category except septic, thanks to a complete uterine septum, which, I guess, was an example of "being broken." My advice would be to check your anatomy early in the process. Be suspicious. I had so many ultrasounds, and my clinician never really _saw_ that I had two endometrial stripes until I had an HSG following a devastating miscarriage at 19 weeks. The delay cost us 4 years and lots of miscarriages.
I was 16 weeks pregnant ( 30 years ago) and my baby just died inside me for no reason. This was a very very much wanted baby and I had to be induced and give birth to my dead baby. They called it a Missed abortion !!! I was horrified with the name they gave it but I think it is changed now to missed miscarriage.
A biochemical miscarriage followed by a clinical miscarriage (8 weeks). We then decided to do IVF. First transfer was successful. Now I am anxiously waiting for my 6 week ultrasound.
I had what i believe was a miscarriage about 40 years ago, i was very young and doing my nurse training so really didn't want to be pregnant at that time and ignored any signs putting it down to stress etc but when i looked back the signs were definitely there. After a couple of days of bleeding and contraction like pains, something came away that i can only describe as looking like the neck part you sometimes get in turkey giblets, it was terrifying and i told no one apart from my boyfriend. Thinking about it now i was so foolish, I should have told my GP and possibly had antibiotics or other treatment. Luckily there were no ill effects and i had 3 healthy pregnancies after that
Hi Dr lora shahine am 41 year old i just have a miscarriage with 12 weeks pregnant and i want to be pregnant again what should I do please dr i need your help
I am almost 47. I've had abnormal cycles as expected at my age. I was wondering if it might be possible that I experienced a biochemical pregnancy when I started bleeding bright red at 21 days into my cycle? After a couple hours, the bleeding stopped for 2 days before I started bleeding a normal dark color. I felt mild cramping I don't usually have. There isn't enough information about biochemical pregnancy. Thank you for making this video.
God bless you and thanks for the information I got a positive result after the ivf treatment and 4weeks later my hcg level dropped and miscarriage at 5weeks I keep wondering what I did wrong this video is helpful thank you Dr🙏
According to this I have had two. I had a biochemical one and my doctor told me it was my thyroid and scheduled me to go see a specialist. I did not go because I know I had a positive pregnancy test. This would have been my 5th pregnancy. I also had one when I was pregnant for the third time. But when I went to the ER they saw a baby and gave no explanation of the bleeding, cramping and mass that I passed that morning.
I could always get a fertilized egg but couldn't get them to implant either completely implant or they'd partially implant so are those miscarriages??? I never had a successful pregnancy...
She left out the miscarriage that happened to my sister and I. We both had to give birth @ 22 weeks and 24 weeks. We both lost our children and where told it was a miscarriage 😢
My 3rd (at 16wks carried until 18 wks) and 5th ( at 24wks carried until 25 wks) pregnancies were missed miscarriages or that’s what my doctors told me, my 6th (13wks), 8th (10wks), 9th (9wks) and 10th (12wks) pregnancies ended in miscarriages also. One of the most heartbreaking experiences parents can have ❤ love to all with angel babies
It happened to me too at 10weeks, after intercourse i was bleeding and i spent the night in hospital because of high bleeding i almost died, and i couldn't stop blaming myself for staying silent while i was in pain during intercourse. Now i'm pregnant first month and i'm not giving more than a kiss😊
My pregnancies could not be tested with urine or blood tests until I was at least 4 months pregnant. Then, I was put on bed rest because I had preterm contractions and presymphasis pubis syndrome.
When I became pregnant in my early 20's I found out I was pregnant because I collapsed at work. I went to the doctors and they confirmed it. A bit later I started spotting. I was told it was normal and nothing to worry about. Not long afterwards I was awakened with basically labor contractions, realized I had bled through the mattress and went to the hospital. I stayed there for 6 days, I wasn't given any information regarding the status of the fetus but it was recommended that I have a D&C. Being so young I agreed. So when I became pregnant again a year or two later I, knowing that something wasn't right with first pregnancy and not wanting to go through that again I had an abortion. I never got pregnant again. There was such a lack of knowledge in younger people, poor communication from doctors that I made the decision that obviously I wasn't meant to have children so I may have foolishly shot myself in the foot and killed my second child and possibly the first. Thank you for putting this information out and I hope and pray it helps someone else make better choices than I did. God bless 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤
Out of my 20 yrs trying and waiting to get pregnant had to 1…1 biochemical and only had 2 drs out of many to take that seriously. Till this day I remeber 12/9/2018. I had been having massive symptoms for a couple weeks absolutly not myself. Took a test and after a few minute it was clear BFP. I absolutely taken aback. It was the weekend so told my self will test again couple days. Well sure enough second test negative went started bleeding that day couple days early. I cried so hard. Out of 20 yrs fertility struggle I have 2 other times in sure I was but never could catch in bloodwork or ultrasound 😢
@drlorashashine what about if you have 6 clinical miscarriages in a row... genetic testing showed my baby was perfectly fine genetically and myself and spouse are perfectly fine per that seperate genetic testing. We have lost 6 what do we do or go from here?
I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. I hemorrhaged passing cantaloupe sized clots. I had a D&C in the emergency room. I did not have an infection. How does this fit in your 10 types of miscarriage?
i had three singleton pregnancies over 10 pounds at birth all three sons and 4 miscarriages and i had no idea the miscarriages i had were called biochemical miscarriage till now. I to didn't know if it counted or not and i have always identified life upon conception not a moment before or after within those biological boundaries and i still struggled if mine counted or not AND i was baffled that i didn't give self any credit back then when i felt so drained since i bled crazy heavy with a mix of clearish yellowish jelly fish like fluid mixed with the thick heavy blood stream found in the toilet. I felt so guilty for not being able to retrieve each body each time i had miscarried early on but for one, and i was in such disarray at the ER they took the foil i had the chunk of tissue i passed and placed in to show the docs so i would get diagnosed accurately and to bury the tissue in case it was a forming baby early on but i wasn't sure what it was since it had no form to it and looked more like a tissue sac that broke off from inside my uterus more than anything. It was no larger than a butter bean lima bean and i was on time with my monthly menstruation so i knew it was still very early on but i was never able to bury my miscarried babies's body. I would night mare years later of stone babies floating cold and lifeless along the surface of the streams and rivers and the attempt to try to rescue them was warned to be a trap to pull you in as they will pull their victims under to drown and be held there forever with them. that never happened in the dreams as i couldn't figure out what to do before waking up.
I had a clinical miscarriage my boy passed away at 10 weeks went for the 12 week scan found out no heartbeat he would of been four next year in 6 January
I was blessed with an ueventfull first pregnancy and an amazing birth of my healthy baby boy. Then we tried for another baby, and we conceieved after 3 months. Everything seemed fine. A scan at 13w5d turned our fine. I felt great in the second trimester. Only a small spot of blood at 17w0d told me there could be a problem. At 17w1d a scan showed us a featus, but no heartbeat. It had stopped developing around 14 weeks. I got pregnant again and I am now 18w0d today. Wish me luck. ❤
This is a great suggestion I can discuss in a future video, thank you 😊I hope my content on my website drlorashahine.com can help. Thank you for watching ❤️
My first pregnancy was fine! No issues. My second was a chemical loss at 5 weeks. Two months later, I got pregnant again and lost that baby at 8 weeks. I went to the ER when it started because I was stupid and didn't know they couldn't do anything. I was told it was a "healthy 6 week pregnancy" even though I'd told them I was 8 weeks along. They left me to connect the dots in my emotional state. I lost that baby alone at home, blood everwhere. I passed a perfect little placenta with a perfect little cord, but no baby. I could never understand why the placenta and cord would be (what I assumed) 8 week size if I had a "normal" 6 week pregnancy. Would those even be recognizable at 6 weeks? I wish I had gotten to see my baby. Not sure if I lost it in all the blood or if it were never there. Is that a blighted ovum? Again, nothing "normal" about that... I did go on a year later to have a healthy pregnancy with the help of progesterone supplements. I now have two healthy girls since my miscarriages both with progesterone.
It is also okay to NOT feel heartbroken by an early miscarriage. As someone who needed IVF for my two children, I had 30 total fertilized eggs that translated to 12 blastocysts (day 5) and 2 live births. Most of my blasties didn't implant (7 of 12) and 3 took. And 2 didn't get transferred at all. Of the 3, 1 miscarried early and I've always been completely fine with it. That seems to shock people for some reason, but I was just not any more attached to the week 7 loss as to the little blasties that didn't implant. I felt a little sad they didn't work out, but no sense of loss.
Do doctors still acknowledge a miscarriage as being ‘clinical’ even if you never made it in for testing before or after the miscarriage? Because I’m assuming 7 weeks would be a clinical miscarriage… but I never had blood tests.
Would they be considered biochemical or clinical if you haven't seen them on ultrasound but also don't have proof that they COULDN'T be seen? I've had four miscarriages and two of them I'd managed to make it to around the 6-week mark, maybe even a few days further, before losing the pregnancy. It's always been unclear to me whether those counted as biochemical or clinical miscarriages. Pregnancies should theoretically be able to be seen by then, so in that respect they seemed closer to clinical miscarriages. But at the same time, I never made it far enough to ACTUALLY be scanned, and all of my pregnancies resolved naturally and completely painlessly, just like a period. Also, the one time my clinic did scan me at 17dpt (5w2d) for my most optimistic pregnancy (number-wise) due to an ER visit the previous night, they didn't see anything and I lost it the following week, so I don't know if there was anything to be seen even then.
What about when you have an ectopic pregnancy? I had one last year and had no choice but to have surgery to remove my baby and tube, as my tube had perforated. Can ectopic be classed as a type of miscarriage? I can't help but feel guilty for being made to terminate my own baby, although if I hadn't my consultant said I would have a severe haemorrhage and possibly wouldn't have made it myself
My first miscarriage 2022, was after an IVF conception. The ultrasound showed embryo was not growing well (reading 5days late)...and I lost it in the 5th week after embryo transfer. My 2nd was also from an IVF concenption, lost it 10days after embryo transfer. My 3rd was natural conception, I lost it in the 6th week from LMP date.... Now I am 14wks pregnant, natural conception...and I am really praying this one is here to stay. I am 42yrs old....and I am considering having a cercilage, I do not know if it is compulsory to have it....
I had one done with my 2nd pregnancy after my first was born at 26wks. And passed away. It made my labor hell, I ended up in labor for 36 hours and got bad infection from water breaking but a delay in being able to dialate. If possible try ur best to keep things natural as possible. It made me last labor great, I have a healthy happy 3.5 year old
@@amandafields3723oh I see.....Well the consultant I am seeing now, tells me I might not need it; he is sure the previous losses had nothing to do with my cervix; and encourages me to really have lots and lots of rest, no sex for now till the pregnancy advances more...I think it is so that nothing irritates my inside maybe! But I am going to have a C- section for delivery, so I do not need to wait for labor 😀. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
@@amandafields3723...oh I see.. well the consultant I am see currently says I might not need the cercilage; he is sure the previous losses were not due to my cervix. He encourages me to have lots and lots of bed rest, and also stay away from sex till the pregnancy advances more....probably not to irritate my inside maybe 🤷♀️...I am going to have a C- section delivery of course by my age. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
Thank you so much for this video. We have been ttc for 10 months and we experienced our first (to our knowledge) chemical pregnancy last month. My cycles are anywhere from 29-32 days so maybe I’ve even had them before but this was the first time I had a dream I was pregnant and took a test and it was positive. Each day the line was getting fainter & then I started spotting and cramping. Hcg was only 6.3 at the lab and didn’t make it to my second appointment because I got my period. It was devastating. Your video validates that we did go through pregnancy loss because I never thought of it that way. Hoping we can conceive soon. I saw a rainbow on my way to work the other day ❤️🩹 I hope the nurses at the office can order an hcg again for me and also get my progesterone checked once I get a positive test again. I really feel hopeful for this month I’m currently in the 2 week wait period 🤞🏼
This is a great suggestion I can discuss in a future video, thank you ❤️I hope my content on my website drlorashahine.com can help. Thank you for watching!
Last January 2024, I have little spotting I have no any concern just my little spotting my OBGYN told me to get confined when I got confined they gave me antibiotics for a long time (8days) all I thought everything is fine because she stopped my adhesive medicine until something happened I have heavy bleeding then my cervix opened at my 8days at hospital I don't know what really happened my OB didn't tell anything about it I got so devastated that time when my 28weeks pregnancy gone in just snap she's my first child and it really broke my heart. Im totally bedrest at hospital that's why I really don't understand why that's happened to my baby. Please help me get through this Dr.
I had ectopic pregnancy surgery in 2022,but since 2022 may 28 I can't get pregnant again and I lost my one fallopian tube on right side,now I have only one on left side, how can I get pregnant again? I'm 23 years old,I had with 21 years old

I only ever got pregnant with hcg shots once my eggs were ready, I did that over 8 yrs, got pregnant 4 times lost all from 6-10 weeks. Never found out why and never got to be a bio-mom 😢
I just recently had a miscarriage few weeks ago at 41. My hcg levels lowered tremendously in a few days before bleeding and spotting. Ultrasound showed no baby or sac. Some days I still feel pregnant from certain symptoms I’ve been having, but no positive test.
So, do i have a clinical misscarriage, silent misscarriage or both? I am supposed to be 7 weeks pregnant, but the ultrasound only measures the gestational sac to be only 5 and a day, and they don't see anything else, came back for another ultrasound last Wednesday, and still nothing 😔😔 i don't have any bleeding but feels the other symptoms last month, i will have another ultrasound next week to confirm. I am so devastated for its gonna be my first one after trying for a year or so, I'll be 39 next month and i feel im running out of time.🥺 thanks for this video Doctor
This is similar to what happened to me. I had positive urine and blood test so I went for scans and they said I was 6 weeks but measuring less, went back for another 2 weeks later and the sac was empty, they told me I had a blighted ovum my body naturally miscarried 2weeks later because I opted to wait rather than take medication.
My first pregnancy I lost my baby at 6 weeks and 6 days to a missed miscarriage. I had no clue until we did the ultrasound that my baby didn't have a heartbeat. I still have a hard time with it and that was in 2015
i was 14 weeks pregnant with identical twin boys and they hadn’t grown they were only 12 weeks 3days they both died they said fetal demise i just had my d&c my placenta was really high and thick and i lost a liter of blood i don’t know what happened 😢❤
I just experience my own part of pain i had miscarriage last month it was painful now I'm healing is my first and it will be my last amen 🙏 after having sex i started spooting went to hospital was diagnosed of UTI INFECTION Was given antibiotics shot for 7days with progesterone but it did not help save the baby i miscarriage on the 2day of treatment with small amount of bleeding but immediately i passed the clot the pain stopped and spotting lasted for 2weeks now im having my normal cervical muscu went to hospital ultra sound said no debris ..uterus back to normal shape ....but was given misoprostol is it safe to take it ?even when bleeding have stopped
What about an Ectopic Pregnancy? I know this type of topic isn’t talked enough. My embryo was growing in my right Fallopian tube. I had internal bleeding thinking it was a miscarriage, following up with horrible pain. In the end i lost my fallopian tube. It happen 2019.
I am so sorry - I have different educational videos on ectopic pregnancy- medically it’s not considered a miscarriage but it is absolutely loss - I am so sorry
I had a stillbirth in the same month last year...after months I found I have multiple ovarian cyst and a small fibroid in uterus... And now since last month I was experiencing pregnancy symptoms...but after two days of my due period date I was spotted last night with heavy pain in lower back and legs and stomach..then after 11-12 hours again started bleeding normally with cramps.... What should I expect now?

I had a situation where something had prompted my dr to do a vaginal ultrasound they were checking my bladder to see if it fully drains, and they seen something on the screen they thought it was cancer because I tested negative for pregnancy. They scheduled an appointment where they put a camera up there but didn’t see anything. From the time of the ultrasound to the time of the camera appointment I had bad crams one morning and put a pad on then went to work. I was sitting at my desk and felt something coming out with crams and blood I went to bathroom and found a thumb size mass of tissue. It didn’t look like a little baby but looked like it was skin tissue not a blood clot. I called my dr they said to take a pregnancy test and if it’s positive then it’s a miscarriage but it was negative so they said not to worry. I always think about that and wonder if it was a miscarriage. I have Pcos and never had any children.
I had the same thing I would have compared it to like a piece of raw chicken breast. My Dr had me bring it in for pathology and it was a piece of the endometrium lining.. it just came away in a large piece for whatever reason
Great question. An ectopic pregnancy is not considered a miscarriage for medical purposes. It’s still a loss and I’m very sorry if you have experienced this.
What does it mean when they say they found fetal tissue in one sack but not the other? (This was sad because this was right after I had my first set of twins.)They said my HCG levels were good then I went in and had it check again and it was low, so they elected for a Dnc because I was bleeding heavily.
I was pregnant with my 2 daughter and found out that my hcg wasn't increasing at the rate it should have been and the ob/gyn also said she couldn't see anything on ultrasound. She was going to give me medication to induce a miscarriage. I was devastated! I found a new doctor who said he couldn't guarantee that I'd complete this pregnancy, he would do what he could to help save it. He put me on progesterone and it helped my daughter be able to thrive and grow. She is now 21 and fiesty as could be!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤️
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
YES!! Progesterone saved both of my girls after 4 miscarriages. 🥰🥰
I had a doctor who dismissed my suggestions of progestrone supplements when they told me I was going to have a miscarriage. I'm 40 overall healthy and the doctor basically implied with age miscarriages are normal. Every day I wonder had they given the progestrone would I be pregnant. I switched doctors and am confident I will have a successful pregnancy.
I think sometimes doctors push abortion to limit their own liability and don't do everything possible to save the babies.
My first pregnancy was a biochemical miscarriage & I was 6 weeks along & started bleeding. I cannot tell you how saddening it was, let alone having a few congratulation baby gifts I just sat there & cried over. I ended up having 2 healthy pregnancies thereafter (thank God) & now my boys are 18 & 20.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I'm so happy to hear about your boys❤️ Thank you for watching!
I had a biochemical miscarriage, and my GYN at the time told me that because she hadn't tested me herself, I was never pregnant and therefore didn't have a miscarriage so I should be happy. I never went back to that GYN again.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult situation you went through ❤️
"unless i say it, it isn't real!" definitely physician behavior lmao
so sorry for your loss. It was real pregnancy! I had two chemicals before get pregnant again, and now 13 weeks pregnant.
That's so cruel!😢
That's a horrible and very insensitive thing to say!
Thank you so much for this, i misscarried my baby about 8 days ago. I’m scared to try again but my partner keeps telling me we need to be optmistic. Algorithisms recommended this. ❤❤ grateful
I'm so sorry for your loss 🫂 Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️
❤so sorry for your loss. I'm praying you get your baby soon
Be optimistic. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks of pregnancy in January 2022, It was my very first pregnancy; I was completely devastated and the doctors couldn't tell me why. In April of that same year I became pregnant with my rainbow baby girl who was born in January 2023 and now I am pregnant for the 3rd time. YHWH is amazing, believe in him.
Thank you so much! It took 13 biochemical pregnancies before I was taken seriously in 2021. The medical gaslightingbthat occurred before that time was heart wrenching. Thank you for acknowledging that every loss is a loss...no matter how early!
We are still praying for our rainbow!
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I appreciate your kind words, thank you so much watching ❤ I also pray for your rainbow baby❤
What was done and how are you now
Thank you for explaining the different types of miscarriage. I had 3 miscarriages prior to one successful pregnancy and 3 miscarriages after our son. My husband cried and told me he couldn't do it to me anymore. We've been blessed with the son we had. He's a grown man now and we couldn't be prouder.
We lost three babies, Our 2nd pregnancy was a stillbirth at 30 weeks. That was hell. Not considered a miscarriage due to being so late in the pregnancy, but the loss of our son devastated us. Our 6th pregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy, which ruptured, causing me to lose my Fallopian tube. Our 7th pregnancy was a regular miscarriage at 12 weeks. Just weeks after that miscarriage, my husband died suddenly and my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer right after he died, so that time was a shell-shocked blur which started a long grief journey for my children and myself.
❤❤❤praying for your healing and peace and for a healthy baby for you.
I am so sorry to hear all that. I hope noone has done a spell on u
Oh so sorry! I cant even imagine a still born, so sad. I lost the first at 12 weeks, really not the same. Sad but it would be much worse later.
I know this scar is forever in your heart ...thank God you are healing ...🎉
@@annabrahamson4320the video says it is the same… they are all babies,potential living people.
I believe I had a biochemical miscarriage this year because of all the symptoms I had.
Thanks for taking the time to talk and educate in such a very calm and factual matter. This was very informative for me.
Thank you for this information and validation. I’ve had an early miscarriage, then a beautiful healthy baby girl, then 2 chemicals and now a missed miscarriage. My heart keeps breaking and my soul hurts.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂❤❤
Thank you for all the information. I had three consecutive miscarriages between 1983 - 1985. We went for a consult at Medical Genetics where we were told I have mosacism due to chromosomes. My last pregnancy in 1987 ended in a miscarriage. I did give birth to two wonderful children. Of the 5 miscarriages one of them was twins.
Are you referring to mosaic trisomy 21? It’s a condition that deserves to be better known; a sign is repeated pregnancies with full trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome); also, the person with mosaic trisomy 21 may have some of the signs of full trisomy 21. ❤
No it wasn't trisomy the doctor said it was mosacism. He said if we tried for another child they could have webbed fingers, toes, and would have medical issues. Apparently the fact that I didn't have 46 chromosomes was the reason I had so many miscarriages.
Sorry for your little babies who died, and congratulations on the babies who lived! Women with Down syndrome have more trouble having a baby survive to birth. You are very blessed by your surviving babies, and your little angel babies watching over you!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going in today for a second ultrasound after my first two weeks ago. They only found a yolk sac and said I was measuring behind. I ordered your book that night, read it in two days, and now have questions ready for my appointment today. Thank you so much for this resource and support 🙏🏻
I am hopeful for you❤️
Your video made me feel less crazy and that my baby existed and my baby mattered. I feel better knowing what happened to us has a name and that brings me so much peace.
Thank you so much
My story of my biochemical miscarriage.
I took a home pregnancy test in February of 2024. My boyfriend and I both fight infertility so we weren't expecting anything. It was even his idea to do a pregnancy test. I was super moody and my breasts were getting swollen and tender. I took the test and waited for him to come home for lunch and we were not expecting anything. We both saw double lines and got so excited! We found a lab that could do a blood test and we went and waited for the results. It showed that my hormone levels were low but to follow-up with a doctor. I tested at home again and the lines kept fading until I started my period. I was so devastated and broken. By doing the math by day of conception I was about 6 weeks when my miscarriage happened. I felt robbed of my happiness and that our baby "didn't count"
Our baby mattered and our baby counts. I tested on Valentine's Day and kept my test in a heart shaped candy box (Running joke in the house because I have a bicornuate uterus and my favourite song by Nirvana is Heart Shaped Box)
That weekend that we had our baby was so beautiful. My boyfriend talked to my tummy and reassured me that we beat the odds and our baby is going to be perfect and beautiful.
We are very hopeful still and now with this bit of encouragement we know we have a chance.
❤
I am so happy to hear that. It absolutely has a name and your experience should always be respected and honored.
I had a biochemical miscarriage, followed by another pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. That miscarriage devastated me and left me wondering if i'd ever get pregnant.
We went to a fertility dr and did some initital tests but never finished testing as i discovered i was pregnant again straight away after a vacation. I'm now 32 weeks along hoping upon every hope for a healthy rainbow baby.
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I pray for your healthy rainbow baby❤️
Just had a miscarriage in June after having a stillbirth in December... It's been tough.
But this is good and helpful information!
Am so sorry i hope God will bless you 😊with a healthy baby
I am so sorry for your loss dear 🫂❤ Thank you so much for watching ❤
❤sending love and healing
🙏🙏🙏 and baby dust!
Thank You for affirming that the baby IS ALIVE at conception and is a unique little person!
After I had my daughter, my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies were both missed miscarriages. Both pregnancies made it to 6 weeks but never developed a heart beat. I had a d&c both times at 12 weeks as my body never naturally miscarried. I had no idea what to do, get tested? Go to a fertility clinic? This was considered recurrent miscarriage.
Luckily I fall pregnant very easily so we decided to give it one more try. I fell pregnant again and got morning sickness the day after I got a positive result. I walked into my ultrasound appointment knowing the scan would go well because the baby was meant to join us now. He is now 5 months old, our little double rainbow baby ❤
I was pregnant with my second child and at 7 weeks I started bleeding. I saw my obgyn and he said I was pregnant but something was not right. I had to do an ultrasound and then I peed that 7 week baby fell in the toilet and I felt it would of been gross to put my hand in the toilet water. I came out of the bathroom and told my husband. That was 33 years ago I have felt guilt from flushing the toilet then my husband just told me God has a better plan for that baby. I could not have anymore children after that for God to me to take care of my son no more. So I have been blessed with my son and some day I will see my second child in heaven.
Amén, the same thing happened to me and I dreamed of my baby boy, I felt God was showing me my baby in my dreams. After that YHWH blessed me with a baby girl and I am currently pregnant.
@rn-healthcoachemi51 my husband said to me he had a dream that that baby was a girl and she looked like our son with the same dark curly hair. Our son then told me he would be very protective big brother if she was born.
I'm soo worried about my friend it's her third pregnancy now, please pray for her 😭 she had 2 previous miscarriage at week. Of 15
I had no idea there were so many different types of miscarriages. Thank you for the educational video!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
My miscarriage happened at almost 6 months. Dr could not find a heart beat just before my six months gestation. We had to wait until I had a
I spontaneous miscarriage (This was in 1958) when it happened I was in the emergency room in the hospital. That is when we found out I was carrying twins. The sad part was the babies were starting to decompose, which I was forced to carry two deceased babies in my body for almost a month. Thank God the sack did not burst and release the fluid in my body, possibly causing septicemia. I cold have died leaving two children and m husband. Now they can do a scan to see what is going on inside.
My exes mom had this, but the fetus calcified inside of her body and attached itself to her uterine wall, where it could not have been removed surgically.
It's called lithopedion formation.
She's in her 60s+ and it's thought to still be inside of her
My first miscarriage was at 13 weeks, my 2nd miscarriage was at 6 weeks but I gave birth to my son (twins run in my family) I then had spotting all throughout my 3rd pregnancy (twins) and, due to pre-eclampsia, had a c-section at 7 months... there is hope!
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. Thank you for sharing and for offering words of hope!
Thank you for your work! I'll be 40 in six months. I've had four healthy pregnancies and babies between ages 25-37, but in the past eight months I have had a biochemical miscarriage followed by two clinical miscarriages around 6-7 weeks. Recently found your channel and your words have been encouraging and I feel optimistic to keep trying.
I am so glad you've joined our community ❤ I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 I wish you all the success in fertility journey ❤
I am sorry for your losses, but the math isn't mathing right. If one of your kids is 37, and you're almost 40, that would mean you would've had to have that kid when you were 3. You see what I'm saying? Lol
@@lisachiappetti6092 It actually does make sense, they’re saying that they had their fourth healthy pregnancy/child at 37 years old and the first one at 25
@@lisachiappetti6092I think that she was saying that when SHE was 25-37! Lol caught me for a second, then I reread it slower. We all gotta slow down, and try kindness first (as someone snores next to me🤬😉)✌🏻
I had 6 miscarriages (as far along as 4 months) between our daughter and our two sons. Spent every pregnancy terrified bc I had all day/night "morning sickness" but if it stopped for even a day, I would miscarry that baby within 24-48 hours! Every single time! I lost 40lbs with my youngest child.
When I was taken in to have him as a planned c-section, the OB and my primary sat my husband down and told him he needed to sign to have my tubes tied!!! They said they knew we wanted a larger family but they told him I wouldn't survive another pregnancy! We live in Kansas. Even in 2024, your husband must consent or he can sign even if you don't know and it is done!!! I did not know I was sterilized at age 23 until 2 days later when it was given to me as part of my dismissal instructions by the nursing staff! It's been 22 years and 3 days since my ability to have a baby was taken away. Still have the most God awful cramps and severe bleeding every 28 days like clockwork. If they were going to take babies away the A$shol€s could've at least taken the uterus too! But, I was "too young for a hysterectomy, it was medically necessary". 😢
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult experience you went through 🫂❤️
wow…thats absolutely horrific. I am so sorry that happened to you. you had a right to make decisions about your own body…so sad. I have had 4 miscarriages and I have no living children. I know how it feels.
It is well...I'm so sorry may be you go for adoption....❤❤
I maintained my grounds for a hysterectomy AND oophrectomy at 22.9 years old because of severe endometriosis back in 1993...I went through EVERY test, removal of the endometrial lining up to and into my diaphragm, and was MANDATORY for a 2nd opinion AND psychological examination detailing many many scenarios supporting and non-supporting the complete surgery...BIG FINALE, 85% of what my ob/gyn removed, and he got it ALL Christmas Eve the year before, had already grown back 8.5 months later AFTER 3 months on Lupron.
I had a 36 week pregnancy that I spotted monthly and a 38 month pregnancy that tried to end itself from 13 weeks on that landed me on hospital bedrest with a pulmonary embolism.
Dr. Shaheen’s comprehensive breakdown of miscarriage types is incredibly enlightening and compassionate. Her clear, empathetic explanations make complex medical information accessible and supportive for those who need it most. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words😊❤️
Me and my husband have been ttc for almost 3 years now. we’ve experienced 3 early clinical miscarriages and 1 late term missed miscarriage at 14 weeks(baby was measuring 13). We are now currently expecting Our beautiful rainbow baby who is measuring 13w1d. Thank you for putting this video out there and the information. I didn’t realize how common Miscarriage was until I experienced it myself, and had to go searching for answers from others who had experienced this loss as well 💕
I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 Congratulations on your rainbow baby ❤️ Thank you so much for watching😊
I had an ectopic pregnancy between eight and twelve weeks along. This was fifty years ago and I still think about my lost baby. I know she’s with God and one day I will meet her.
This is a great video😊 it’s very informative and helpful to understand what I went through. My doctors couldn’t explain why I had my 2 consecutive miscarriages.
Thank you for telling us woman that we are not broken, because that’s exactly how I felt at that time. I now have 2 beautiful smart boys❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I had 2 clinical early miscarriages and 1 biochemical pregnancy. I'm currently undergoing IVF, and the furthest we got is a FET cycle that had to be converted to a mock transfer because my endometrium wasn't getting thick enough. That's where we are now. But when I had my chemical, my doctor gaslit me telling me she "didn't think it was a chemical", even though I got a positive Clear Blue digital pregnancy test and the same symptoms I had in my first 2 clinical losses! She said that because by the time I got an HCG test in her office the next day, it was down to zero already. But just like the first 2, my period took months to come back, and she maintained her opinion that it wasn't a chemical! I felt so not listened to and devastated! So thank you for confirming I'm not crazy and that she was wrong!!! ❤
I am so sorry for your loss and for everything you went through 🫂❤ Thank you for watching and for your kind words ❤
Great information and I am so glad that ASRM updated their recurrent pregnancy loss definitions! I also love how you stress that they all count. I had 4 missed miscarriages and 1 cornual ectopic pregnancy between 2008-2013. 3 of those 5 pregnancies were achieved through fertility treatments. In 3 of my miscarriages testing was done and there were no chromosomal issues found. After seeing a reproductive immunologist it was determined I would likely never carry to term due to immunological issues. I was never able to have biological children but I do have a child through adoption and I wouldn’t change a thing. Even when a healthy pregnancy is never achieved there is still hope.
Great explanation of types of miscarriages. I haven't heard of several of the types of miscarriages so this is very informative.
Thank you for your feedback and thank you for watching ❤️
I started spotting and bleeding at 6 weeks, days after my first scan with a perfect heartbeat. The doctor at the ER was kind of rude and said she couldn't stop a possible miscarriage. But she found a heartbeat.telling me, there was still "another one left".
I still do not know what caused the bleeding, but continued to have a healthy pregnancy with a now 16year old.
I had a complete late miscarriage on December 6th, 2023 at 13 weeks 5 days. And it was so heartbreaking. My NIPT testing came back that he was fine no abnormal chromosomes.
We are currently trying again, but it's also very terrifying because I don't think I could handle going though another miscarriage.
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss 🫂 I'm wishing you all the best on your fertility journey❤️
Thank you for your videos. They give me so much info and hope.
I’ve had 3 biochemical pregnancies, experienced painful miscarriages before I even know I was expecting. I’ve also had one missed carriage at 9 weeks and one miscarriage where my body completely passed the pregnancy at 9 weeks. The latter two we had ultrasounds and had heartbeats just the week before the loss, but they were slow, and measuring small.
So I’ve been pregnant 6 times, and only have one child. 😞 it’s hard for me. But I’m going through IVF and I have one great quality genetically normal embryo. Still remaining hopeful, it only takes one!! ☺️
I’m hopeful for you too!!!
What happened with my second child was I made an appointment with the obstetrician because I had a positive urine test and then that morning I thought I had had my period but they told me to go ahead and come in and they did ultrasound and the baby was still there. So every week I had to come in for that type of ultrasound and every month I bled like I was having a period for six months and then the last three months it stopped talk about up and down roller coaster.
Thank you. I didn't know that the positive test meant there was implantation. I thought it just meant sperm and egg had joined. Also, I didn't have a word for biochemical miscarriage. I wasn't sure I could call what happened miscarriages. I've been told I'm exaggerating to call it that. Thank you for the information and validation.
my mom had like, 2 separate miscarriages where she said she didn't know she was pregnant (she had severe endometriosis, so she had a lot of funky hormonal symptoms, abdominal distention and irregular periods anyway), but claimed she saw the fetus and that it "looked like a jellybean." it didn't seem to bother her but ever since she told me that i've had recurring nightmares about having a bean-sized fetus slide out of me while going to the bathroom. it would be so disconcerting to just see that with no forewarning whatsoever that it was even there to begin with
My friends miscarriage was like this, but she fished out the jelly bean and gave it a burial.
Same thing happened to me around 5 weeks...Had bad cramps and bleeding heavy with clots. Went to the bathroom wiped and put came my little jelly bean ...Never got pregnant after....So it's a hard thing to deal with...I'm happy your mom was able to have you and hopefully you have a good realtionship!!!
@@firestar4ever90 I did the same....Always felt it was a girl...and decided since it was a week before xmas if it would've been a boy I name it Angel
10 different miscarriages I thought there was only 3 lmao new sub
The crazy thing about timing is this video finding me when it did. I've been on my TTC journey for about 3 years and I really thought I was successful thus cycle but never tested because I don't like getting my hopes up. Then I got my period on Sat Jul 27 but it was heavier than normal and I've had lingering cramping even though the period is gone. I'm guessing it might have been a chemical pregnancy but like you said it's hard to know.
Thanks for always providing so much information ♡
Thank you for your kind words, I’m sorry that your journey has been so long and I truly wish you the best
Thank you. I really needed to hear this.
My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. I was actively trying to get pregnant, so I knew pretty early on and it was confirmed with blood work and a pregnancy test. I went in for my 10 week check up and they told me they didnt see a heartbeat and that things has stopped progressing around 6 weeks. I was devestated, for over a month I had no idea, it was not until the day before the appointment that I had some spotting, but nothing like I would expect from a miscarriage. I ended up having to get a DnC as it was suggested by the doctor in order to help me recover faster and not go septic. That was in July and then in November I concieved my daughter, my rainbow baby.
Thanks for creating this video, it brought some peace to my heart
I'm so glad to read this from you ❤️Thank you for watching ❤️
I had several miscarriages. Mine were all early. I wasn't for sure I was even pregnant until I had cramps and pain and passed the embryo and placenta. I did carry 4 pregnancies to term. My issues were always in the first trimester. 6-8 weeks. So, life does go on and a full term pregnancy is possible in the future.
All of mine were late.. 😢 I lost 3 baby girls and 1 baby boy. My last one was in 2012. Bc i only had 2 in a row in 2007 i was never able to be tested to find out why. I was able to have 1 full term pregnancy with many MANY instances per week from 26 weeks to 38 weeks getting my labor stopped with my daughter and then a preterm pregnancy of 35 weeks with twins. But out of 6 pregnancies only 2 made it...😢
A very close friend of mine had a missed miscarriage but she hasn’t actually given birth to baby - yet. Baby stopped growing around 9 weeks it’s been 12-13 weeks now and baby is still there. She had some laboring on and off and some of baby was born, but the majority is still there.
For her own reasons she doesn’t want medical intervention *until or *unless she starts to become ill (she’s being monitored weekly), her hormone levels are dropping very very slowly. She’s found it extremely difficult to find stories and experiences of women who have had similar experiences.
I wish I lived in a country where pregnancies are taken seriously, because honestly I feel like they aren't here in Norway. When I was pregnant with my second child, I had some bleeding around 10 weeks. Here in Norway, the public health care doesn't provide ultrasounds on early stages of pregnancy, so I thought everything was fine until that bleeding. I called the doctor and they said "you are most likely miscarrying, and there is nothing we can do. You can go to work if you want, or choose to take the day off". I was in shock. I stayed at home and tried to rest, but ended up losing the baby at home the next day. When I got pregnant again after that, I felt right away that something wasn't right and looked for a private doctor. It was around 6 weeks and she saw no heartbeat on ultrasound. I came back one week after, and there was still nothing, and the baby hadn't grown anything. We even got a second opinion who agreed there was nothing else to be done. So I lost that baby too. I asked for help finding out what happened, and both public and private doctors said they do not research causes before the third loss. They just say it was probably chromosomes and that's it. Now I'm pregnant again, 15 weeks and 3 days. I am relieved I am done with the first trimester, but I am still anxious, since I don't know what caused my two miscarriages after one healthy pregnancy (my oldest is 3 now).
Much love and strength! ❤
@@Lierelai thank you ❤️
@@GoldenJuh ❤️🙏
So sorry for your losses. They absolutely were babies, not just cells. That is the problem with a hyper secular country. They completely dismiss moms when their babies die in the womb, because they dismiss the baby being alive before birth.
@@nicolecorrado1959 thank you! That's so true 😢
Thanks for this video. My DIL lost 3 pregnancies. 1st no heart beat @ 1st appointment. Baby stopped growing @ 7 wks. She actually miscarried 2 wks later. Isaac was born between 1 & 2. # 2 was a bit later ~ 10 wks & she miscarried days later. #3 6 months later. It was hard to call a miscarriage, but baby died ~ 14-16 wks in a pregnancy dated 18 wks. She was induced & delivered a tiny perfectly formed baby girl named Amadea. 8 months later Giavanna was born 5 wks early, but happy, healthy & will celebrate her 1st birthday in 10 days.
You are a good mother inlaw ❤
I have gone through M/C 6 & 9
And it was horrible both emotinaly and physicaly.
Specialy when u ahve got 2 scans oerfectly fine and on 14th week u are told it seems the fetus expired soon after last scan.
I am glad someone explained these types in detail.
I ended up in the hospital for one week loosing my baby having to give vaginal birth at 16 weeks… dr did not have a reason why it happen all they can say my white blood cells were very high and my body was fighting a bacteria even though i felt perfectly fine no fever nothing but only thing I was experiencing was contraction… which I didn’t know that it was contractions since it was my first baby it was the hardest part of my life that I had to go through depressed for a while now I’m feeling better… waited 6 months like the dr recommend but 2 cycles have pass and still haven’t got pregnant makes me really sad… since I feel like I’m ready to try again… just emotionally sad when I keep getting a negative test… praying to Jesus gives us a miracle baby ❤️
Jesus will ....I recommend you eat all those ovulation booster foos b4 this year ends you definitely conceive
There is an Incomplete miscarriage where the foetus is lost but there are retained products of conception
You mean a baby.
So the baby dies but stays in the mom?
Good summary. I've had every category except septic, thanks to a complete uterine septum, which, I guess, was an example of "being broken." My advice would be to check your anatomy early in the process. Be suspicious. I had so many ultrasounds, and my clinician never really _saw_ that I had two endometrial stripes until I had an HSG following a devastating miscarriage at 19 weeks. The delay cost us 4 years and lots of miscarriages.
Thank you for this episode!
You’re welcome!
I was 16 weeks pregnant ( 30 years ago) and my baby just died inside me for no reason. This was a very very much wanted baby and I had to be induced and give birth to my dead baby. They called it a Missed abortion !!! I was horrified with the name they gave it but I think it is changed now to missed miscarriage.
A biochemical miscarriage followed by a clinical miscarriage (8 weeks). We then decided to do IVF. First transfer was successful. Now I am anxiously waiting for my 6 week ultrasound.
May God see you through ❤
Thank you. We have a heart beat X
Thank you so much for this video. Have had this a few times recently and dumbfounded as to the reason why.
I am so sorry for your losses dear ❤🫂
I had what i believe was a miscarriage about 40 years ago, i was very young and doing my nurse training so really didn't want to be pregnant at that time and ignored any signs putting it down to stress etc but when i looked back the signs were definitely there.
After a couple of days of bleeding and contraction like pains, something came away that i can only describe as looking like the neck part you sometimes get in turkey giblets, it was terrifying and i told no one apart from my boyfriend.
Thinking about it now i was so foolish, I should have told my GP and possibly had antibiotics or other treatment.
Luckily there were no ill effects and i had 3 healthy pregnancies after that
Hi Dr lora shahine am 41 year old i just have a miscarriage with 12 weeks pregnant and i want to be pregnant again what should I do please dr i need your help
I am almost 47. I've had abnormal cycles as expected at my age. I was wondering if it might be possible that I experienced a biochemical pregnancy when I started bleeding bright red at 21 days into my cycle? After a couple hours, the bleeding stopped for 2 days before I started bleeding a normal dark color. I felt mild cramping I don't usually have. There isn't enough information about biochemical pregnancy. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for explaining that a baby dying in the mom is not the mom’s fault. Babies with chromosome differences often have heart conditions.
God bless you and thanks for the information I got a positive result after the ivf treatment and 4weeks later my hcg level dropped and miscarriage at 5weeks I keep wondering what I did wrong this video is helpful thank you Dr🙏
You did nothing wrong ❤❤❤ I am so sorry for your loss 🫂 Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful, thank you for watching ❤
According to this I have had two. I had a biochemical one and my doctor told me it was my thyroid and scheduled me to go see a specialist. I did not go because I know I had a positive pregnancy test. This would have been my 5th pregnancy. I also had one when I was pregnant for the third time. But when I went to the ER they saw a baby and gave no explanation of the bleeding, cramping and mass that I passed that morning.
I could always get a fertilized egg but couldn't get them to implant either completely implant or they'd partially implant so are those miscarriages??? I never had a successful pregnancy...
She left out the miscarriage that happened to my sister and I. We both had to give birth @ 22 weeks and 24 weeks. We both lost our children and where told it was a miscarriage 😢
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss and your sister's loss🫂I'm so sorry ❤️
My 3rd (at 16wks carried until 18 wks) and 5th ( at 24wks carried until 25 wks) pregnancies were missed miscarriages or that’s what my doctors told me, my 6th (13wks), 8th (10wks), 9th (9wks) and 10th (12wks) pregnancies ended in miscarriages also. One of the most heartbreaking experiences parents can have ❤ love to all with angel babies
I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. It happened while we were having intercourse, I felt a big pop in my belly. I can't forgive myself.😢
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please do not blame yourself ❤️❤️
Yeah don't blame yourself girl. Penises can't even get up that far
It happened to me too at 10weeks, after intercourse i was bleeding and i spent the night in hospital because of high bleeding i almost died, and i couldn't stop blaming myself for staying silent while i was in pain during intercourse. Now i'm pregnant first month and i'm not giving more than a kiss😊
My pregnancies could not be tested with urine or blood tests until I was at least 4 months pregnant. Then, I was put on bed rest because I had preterm contractions and presymphasis pubis syndrome.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and thank you for watching ❤️
@@drlorashahine Thank you for bringing much needed information to light.
When I became pregnant in my early 20's I found out I was pregnant because I collapsed at work. I went to the doctors and they confirmed it. A bit later I started spotting. I was told it was normal and nothing to worry about. Not long afterwards I was awakened with basically labor contractions, realized I had bled through the mattress and went to the hospital. I stayed there for 6 days, I wasn't given any information regarding the status of the fetus but it was recommended that I have a D&C. Being so young I agreed. So when I became pregnant again a year or two later I, knowing that something wasn't right with first pregnancy and not wanting to go through that again I had an abortion. I never got pregnant again. There was such a lack of knowledge in younger people, poor communication from doctors that I made the decision that obviously I wasn't meant to have children so I may have foolishly shot myself in the foot and killed my second child and possibly the first. Thank you for putting this information out and I hope and pray it helps someone else make better choices than I did. God bless 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤
Out of my 20 yrs trying and waiting to get pregnant had to 1…1 biochemical and only had 2 drs out of many to take that seriously. Till this day I remeber 12/9/2018. I had been having massive symptoms for a couple weeks absolutly not myself. Took a test and after a few minute it was clear BFP. I absolutely taken aback. It was the weekend so told my self will test again couple days. Well sure enough second test negative went started bleeding that day couple days early. I cried so hard. Out of 20 yrs fertility struggle I have 2 other times in sure I was but never could catch in bloodwork or ultrasound 😢
@drlorashashine what about if you have 6 clinical miscarriages in a row... genetic testing showed my baby was perfectly fine genetically and myself and spouse are perfectly fine per that seperate genetic testing. We have lost 6 what do we do or go from here?
I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. I hemorrhaged passing cantaloupe sized clots. I had a D&C in the emergency room. I did not have an infection. How does this fit in your 10 types of miscarriage?
i had three singleton pregnancies over 10 pounds at birth all three sons and 4 miscarriages and i had no idea the miscarriages i had were called biochemical miscarriage till now. I to didn't know if it counted or not and i have always identified life upon conception not a moment before or after within those biological boundaries and i still struggled if mine counted or not AND i was baffled that i didn't give self any credit back then when i felt so drained since i bled crazy heavy with a mix of clearish yellowish jelly fish like fluid mixed with the thick heavy blood stream found in the toilet. I felt so guilty for not being able to retrieve each body each time i had miscarried early on but for one, and i was in such disarray at the ER they took the foil i had the chunk of tissue i passed and placed in to show the docs so i would get diagnosed accurately and to bury the tissue in case it was a forming baby early on but i wasn't sure what it was since it had no form to it and looked more like a tissue sac that broke off from inside my uterus more than anything. It was no larger than a butter bean lima bean and i was on time with my monthly menstruation so i knew it was still very early on but i was never able to bury my miscarried babies's body. I would night mare years later of stone babies floating cold and lifeless along the surface of the streams and rivers and the attempt to try to rescue them was warned to be a trap to pull you in as they will pull their victims under to drown and be held there forever with them. that never happened in the dreams as i couldn't figure out what to do before waking up.
I had a clinical miscarriage my boy passed away at 10 weeks went for the 12 week scan found out no heartbeat he would of been four next year in 6 January
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss🫂❤️
I was blessed with an ueventfull first pregnancy and an amazing birth of my healthy baby boy. Then we tried for another baby, and we conceieved after 3 months. Everything seemed fine. A scan at 13w5d turned our fine. I felt great in the second trimester. Only a small spot of blood at 17w0d told me there could be a problem. At 17w1d a scan showed us a featus, but no heartbeat. It had stopped developing around 14 weeks. I got pregnant again and I am now 18w0d today. Wish me luck. ❤
Beat of luck hun ..God will grant you favour
Could you do a video on lithopedion formation?

My first pregnancy was fine! No issues. My second was a chemical loss at 5 weeks. Two months later, I got pregnant again and lost that baby at 8 weeks. I went to the ER when it started because I was stupid and didn't know they couldn't do anything. I was told it was a "healthy 6 week pregnancy" even though I'd told them I was 8 weeks along. They left me to connect the dots in my emotional state. I lost that baby alone at home, blood everwhere. I passed a perfect little placenta with a perfect little cord, but no baby. I could never understand why the placenta and cord would be (what I assumed) 8 week size if I had a "normal" 6 week pregnancy. Would those even be recognizable at 6 weeks? I wish I had gotten to see my baby. Not sure if I lost it in all the blood or if it were never there. Is that a blighted ovum? Again, nothing "normal" about that... I did go on a year later to have a healthy pregnancy with the help of progesterone supplements. I now have two healthy girls since my miscarriages both with progesterone.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I am so sorry for your loss and the way it happened🫂 I am so happy about your two girls ❤️❤️
It is also okay to NOT feel heartbroken by an early miscarriage. As someone who needed IVF for my two children, I had 30 total fertilized eggs that translated to 12 blastocysts (day 5) and 2 live births. Most of my blasties didn't implant (7 of 12) and 3 took. And 2 didn't get transferred at all. Of the 3, 1 miscarried early and I've always been completely fine with it. That seems to shock people for some reason, but I was just not any more attached to the week 7 loss as to the little blasties that didn't implant. I felt a little sad they didn't work out, but no sense of loss.
Because you're calling them "blasties" instead of babies. Incredibly dehumanizing.
Just Tuesday I had a positive pregnancy test and retested today it was negative 😭 Hubs and i are both disappointed.
I can't seem to stay pregnant.
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😢
You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult situation you've gone through 🫂❤️
Do doctors still acknowledge a miscarriage as being ‘clinical’ even if you never made it in for testing before or after the miscarriage?
Because I’m assuming 7 weeks would be a clinical miscarriage… but I never had blood tests.
Would they be considered biochemical or clinical if you haven't seen them on ultrasound but also don't have proof that they COULDN'T be seen? I've had four miscarriages and two of them I'd managed to make it to around the 6-week mark, maybe even a few days further, before losing the pregnancy. It's always been unclear to me whether those counted as biochemical or clinical miscarriages. Pregnancies should theoretically be able to be seen by then, so in that respect they seemed closer to clinical miscarriages. But at the same time, I never made it far enough to ACTUALLY be scanned, and all of my pregnancies resolved naturally and completely painlessly, just like a period. Also, the one time my clinic did scan me at 17dpt (5w2d) for my most optimistic pregnancy (number-wise) due to an ER visit the previous night, they didn't see anything and I lost it the following week, so I don't know if there was anything to be seen even then.
We can be comforted by the fact every baby goes to Heaven no matter what happened. The Lord is good.
What about when you have an ectopic pregnancy? I had one last year and had no choice but to have surgery to remove my baby and tube, as my tube had perforated. Can ectopic be classed as a type of miscarriage? I can't help but feel guilty for being made to terminate my own baby, although if I hadn't my consultant said I would have a severe haemorrhage and possibly wouldn't have made it myself
I've experienced 5 pregnancy losses, 4 in a row.
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss 🫂❤️
My 1st pregnancy end in Misscared at 9 weeks along with issues in 2006
I had my first miscarriage for my first pregnancy and I was so sad and I'm trying again how can I deal with it
My first miscarriage 2022, was after an IVF conception. The ultrasound showed embryo was not growing well (reading 5days late)...and I lost it in the 5th week after embryo transfer.
My 2nd was also from an IVF concenption, lost it 10days after embryo transfer.
My 3rd was natural conception, I lost it in the 6th week from LMP date....
Now I am 14wks pregnant, natural conception...and I am really praying this one is here to stay. I am 42yrs old....and I am considering having a cercilage, I do not know if it is compulsory to have it....
I had one done with my 2nd pregnancy after my first was born at 26wks. And passed away. It made my labor hell, I ended up in labor for 36 hours and got bad infection from water breaking but a delay in being able to dialate. If possible try ur best to keep things natural as possible. It made me last labor great, I have a healthy happy 3.5 year old
@@amandafields3723oh I see.....Well the consultant I am seeing now, tells me I might not need it; he is sure the previous losses had nothing to do with my cervix; and encourages me to really have lots and lots of rest, no sex for now till the pregnancy advances more...I think it is so that nothing irritates my inside maybe! But I am going to have a C- section for delivery, so I do not need to wait for labor 😀. I look up to God for everything also. Thanks Amanda for your response!.
@@amandafields3723...oh I see.. well the consultant I am see currently says I might not need the cercilage; he is sure the previous losses were not due to my cervix.

Thank you so much for this video. We have been ttc for 10 months and we experienced our first (to our knowledge) chemical pregnancy last month. My cycles are anywhere from 29-32 days so maybe I’ve even had them before but this was the first time I had a dream I was pregnant and took a test and it was positive. Each day the line was getting fainter & then I started spotting and cramping. Hcg was only 6.3 at the lab and didn’t make it to my second appointment because I got my period. It was devastating. Your video validates that we did go through pregnancy loss because I never thought of it that way. Hoping we can conceive soon. I saw a rainbow on my way to work the other day ❤️🩹 I hope the nurses at the office can order an hcg again for me and also get my progesterone checked once I get a positive test again. I really feel hopeful for this month I’m currently in the 2 week wait period 🤞🏼

I only ever got pregnant with hcg shots once my eggs were ready, I did that over 8 yrs, got pregnant 4 times lost all from 6-10 weeks. Never found out why and never got to be a bio-mom 😢
You have my sincerest empathy for the difficult situation you went through. I am so sorry for your loss 🫂❤️
I just recently had a miscarriage few weeks ago at 41. My hcg levels lowered tremendously in a few days before bleeding and spotting. Ultrasound showed no baby or sac. Some days I still feel pregnant from certain symptoms I’ve been having, but no positive test.
I really appreciate you sharing your story with us❤ I am so sorry for your loss 🫂❤
So, do i have a clinical misscarriage, silent misscarriage or both? I am supposed to be 7 weeks pregnant, but the ultrasound only measures the gestational sac to be only 5 and a day, and they don't see anything else, came back for another ultrasound last Wednesday, and still nothing 😔😔 i don't have any bleeding but feels the other symptoms last month, i will have another ultrasound next week to confirm. I am so devastated for its gonna be my first one after trying for a year or so, I'll be 39 next month and i feel im running out of time.🥺 thanks for this video Doctor
I am so sorry 🫂 Thank you for sharing your experience ❤🫂
You had a missed miscarriage.sorry about your loss.
This is similar to what happened to me. I had positive urine and blood test so I went for scans and they said I was 6 weeks but measuring less, went back for another 2 weeks later and the sac was empty, they told me I had a blighted ovum my body naturally miscarried 2weeks later because I opted to wait rather than take medication.
My first pregnancy I lost my baby at 6 weeks and 6 days to a missed miscarriage. I had no clue until we did the ultrasound that my baby didn't have a heartbeat. I still have a hard time with it and that was in 2015
You have my sincerest empathy for your loss🫂❤️
i was 14 weeks pregnant with identical twin boys and they hadn’t grown they were only 12 weeks 3days they both died they said fetal demise i just had my d&c my placenta was really high and thick and i lost a liter of blood i don’t know what happened 😢❤
I just experience my own part of pain i had miscarriage last month it was painful now I'm healing is my first and it will be my last amen 🙏 after having sex i started spooting went to hospital was diagnosed of UTI INFECTION Was given antibiotics shot for 7days with progesterone but it did not help save the baby i miscarriage on the 2day of treatment with small amount of bleeding but immediately i passed the clot the pain stopped and spotting lasted for 2weeks now im having my normal cervical muscu went to hospital ultra sound said no debris ..uterus back to normal shape ....but was given misoprostol is it safe to take it ?even when bleeding have stopped
What about an Ectopic Pregnancy? I know this type of topic isn’t talked enough. My embryo was growing in my right Fallopian tube. I had internal bleeding thinking it was a miscarriage, following up with horrible pain. In the end i lost my fallopian tube. It happen 2019.
I am so sorry - I have different educational videos on ectopic pregnancy- medically it’s not considered a miscarriage but it is absolutely loss - I am so sorry
It’s a miscarriage because the baby died.
I had a stillbirth in the same month last year...after months I found I have multiple ovarian cyst and a small fibroid in uterus...
And now since last month I was experiencing pregnancy symptoms...but after two days of my due period date I was spotted last night with heavy pain in lower back and legs and stomach..then after 11-12 hours again started bleeding normally with cramps....
What should I expect now?

I had a situation where something had prompted my dr to do a vaginal ultrasound they were checking my bladder to see if it fully drains, and they seen something on the screen they thought it was cancer because I tested negative for pregnancy. They scheduled an appointment where they put a camera up there but didn’t see anything. From the time of the ultrasound to the time of the camera appointment I had bad crams one morning and put a pad on then went to work. I was sitting at my desk and felt something coming out with crams and blood I went to bathroom and found a thumb size mass of tissue. It didn’t look like a little baby but looked like it was skin tissue not a blood clot. I called my dr they said to take a pregnancy test and if it’s positive then it’s a miscarriage but it was negative so they said not to worry. I always think about that and wonder if it was a miscarriage. I have Pcos and never had any children.
I had the same thing I would have compared it to like a piece of raw chicken breast. My Dr had me bring it in for pathology and it was a piece of the endometrium lining.. it just came away in a large piece for whatever reason
Hello doctor, please suggest... is ectopic pregnancy counted in miscarriage? @dr Lora
Great question. An ectopic pregnancy is not considered a miscarriage for medical purposes. It’s still a loss and I’m very sorry if you have experienced this.
@@drlorashahine thank you for your reply, i experienced 1 ectopic pregnancy - lost a tube ! and 1 missed miscarriage after several years.
What does it mean when they say they found fetal tissue in one sack but not the other? (This was sad because this was right after I had my first set of twins.)They said my HCG levels were good then I went in and had it check again and it was low, so they elected for a Dnc because I was bleeding heavily.
How many ivf cycles should do before giving up
Depends on your budget.
It totally depends on many factors but most patients and doctors make a long term assessment after 3 cycles.
