Thank you for always being transparent with your own story. I found out Sunday I'm pregnant with my 5th pregnancy, all have been losses so far. The last one was a blighted ovum that resulted in hemorrhaging before I could get my D&C scheduled. It's a lonely and scary world to live in with multiple losses, and your story gives those of us struggling hope.
Dr. Crawford, your compassionate and informative approach to discussing miscarriage is truly remarkable. Your personal connection to the topic and clear, reassuring guidance offer invaluable support to those navigating such a challenging experience. Thank you for providing clarity and comfort with such empathy and expertise 😊
Thank you for sharing what to expect and what is in the range of normal. I didn't know how scary miscarriage could be or the weight of grief until it happened to me. I'm grateful for people like you who are willing to share so we don't need to feel so alone.
I had a 10 week missed miscarriage and then a D&C at 12 weeks and some of my friends who are pregnant or just had babies sometimes block me out of the conversation or hang out without me because they don’t know how to talk to me and it hurts more than anything. I def found who my real friends are during the processes and post process
I'm going through my second miscarriage this year. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I know it isn't my fault, but I am having such a hard time with it.
I think I was pregnant last month but never got a positive test. I had such strong pregnancy symptoms, but never got a positive and then had a late period. Hoping to conceive this month
Just had a Dr's appointment today and I don't know how I feel about his answer. I had surgery back in February to take out endometriosis and clean out my tubes. The end of March I found out I was pregnant and lost the baby about 3 weeks after I found out. The last 3 months we've been trying and no luck. We're hitting all our days and then some, also I'm ovulation around day 11-14 and start spotting on day 27 but never start until day 34. He says it's just my body still recovering but I feel like it should be back to normal by now, I mean it was an early loss and I passed everything on my own. Do you think I need a second opinion on what's going on or it just takes time like my Dr. keeps saying.
Thank you so much for all this great information. I just experienced my 2nd miscarriage and my 2nd d and c today. I opted for them even though I was only 9 and 6.5 weeks because of my delivery went with my son (he's 3!). Am I ok to start trying right away after a d and c once bleeding is stopped? I'm not sure I'll be able to "try" but last time my OB said we could try after I get 1 period. Thanks for any advice and loving these videos. Thank you advocating for us as women and moms❤
I had my son when I was 35 years old, I am now 37 years old and have since had 3 back to back losses, the first had slow rising HCG & measured behind by 2 weeks then passed, the second also had slow rising HCG but only measured a few days behind & we saw a strong healthy heartbeat but it stopped growing. My third was a blighted ovum. I've had all the testing done and everything came back clear except for I have lower AMH, but this has not impacted my ability to get pregnant we have conceived immediately each try. I was given progesterone to help but obviously that wouldn't of helped a blighted ovum. Do you think all my eggs are poor quality and could be causing my losses ? I conceived my son almost 3 years ago when I was about to turn 35, surely my egg quality couldn't of gone all bad since then ? Please share your thoughts, I'm so heartbroken 💔
We are pretty similar. Just got my third miscarriage and cleaned by D&C this week. I just turned 37 and pursuing my second child. My pregnancy this time was through IVF #2 cycle. My previous two miscarriages, both conceived naturally when I was about to turn 35 and 36 were concluded as genetic abnormalities. My first live birth pregnancy was so easy and so smooth. That is when I was 32. I have the same question as yours , is that my egg quality so poor now😢 ? May I know if you have been given the answer by your doctor since the post here ? Thank you
@bellab7035 I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, I understand the heartbreak and the layers of grief that go with that! In my case I believe my 1st and 3rd miscarriage were chromosome related but my second was not ( it was tested) I am now almost 9 weeks pregnant & everything has gone perfectly, I'm even more sick then I was with my son 3 years ago! Baby is measuring ahead with a strong heartbeat 💓 the one thing I've done differently this time is take progesterone suppositories . I believe this has been the difference. Wishing you all the best and sending love ❤️
@bellab7035 I'm so deeply sorry to hear about your losses, I totally understand the feelings of despair and hopelessness you feel. But I wanna say please don't give up hope! I am now 11 weeks pregnant with a normal, healthy pregnancy and I'm 38 years old! It is possible to have a baby after recurrent loss. I am a Christian so my faith in God has bought me through this and I believe it is because of him and also taking progesterone suppositories this time that my pregnancy has stuck. Wishing you all the best praying for you ❤️
@@sarahjb1986 Thank you so much for the encouragement. I had my 3rd miscarriage last month at 7 weeks, from an IVF pregnancy. I was so devastated. Now I also have had 3 back to back losses at early stage, I don't know what to believe. I am 37 now, really feel my body is turning down the my wish to have another child. I am going through my grief and healing and want to move forward. I am waiting for my period to come back, wish to try naturally in between IVFs. I signed up for another IVF when I have my second bleed. Where is my rainbow baby?
Very informative video! I have a question though, after naturally miscarrying and stopping all PIO is it normal for the first AF to be longer with some spotting before and after? And is that considered a period?
I started working on my health instead of taking medicines but some supplements in this cycle like omega 6, folic acid, myo insitol and thyronorm/thyroxin. I had two positive UPT but zero beta HCG. Was it alpha HCG? Or progesterone which made me feeling like pregnant. I had every symptom , my cervix was high, breast tenderness and nausea etc , 2 positive UPT but zero beta HCG. I couldn't understand the situation. Moreover, I was doing yoga ( follicular phase+ luteal phase) . I couldn't understand what happened. My husband's report is low.
I’m 38 had 3 missed miscarriages (by 9wks each time )with in the last year. It was very easy getting pregnant but staying pregnant was the issue. Each time low progesterone and subchorionic hematomas. At the third D and C baby’s dna sent for genetic testing. Still waiting for results.Any suggestions on what I should ask my Obgyn going forward. Steps I should take. Thank you!
So sorry that you have gone through it. I am also back to back 3 miscarriages who is waiting to be explained why the 3rd time miscarried. May I know what the genetic testing say ?
Is it normal after missed miscarriage to have elevated LH 13.1 and FSH 13.9 tested in the second day of the first menstrual cycle after the miscarriage?
Is seeing a heartbeat on an ultrasound at 6 weeks a guarantee you won’t miscarry? My girlfriend and I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago she was 6 weeks at the time and we saw a heartbeat but the doctor said she’s high risk because she’s 41 and it’s her first time being pregnant ever. We are supposed to go back this coming Monday to see what’s going on. 🤔
@NahlaaHayarti thanks all is well so far but because she’s high risk (her age and it’s her first time being pregnant) the doctor said to take it week by week.

If you want i can make your Thumbnail. Trust me thumbnails can be a game changer for your TH-cam growth Looking forward to your response ☺️
Dr.Crawford, thank you for this video. I went in for a vaginal ultrasound at 5 1/2 weeks , they found an empty sac.. my HCG levels were not rising as expected.. I began bleeding the day after, feels like my first ever period. I was told this was the beginning stages of a miscarriage. I’ve lost about 10 pounds since I found out I was pregnant.. Not experiencing major cramping or bleeding only when going to the bathroom I see blood clots and only spotting with mild random cramps… Should I be okay for the next time we try? What do you recommend? Hoping to get pregnant in the near future 🤍 it’s has been a rollercoaster of emotions

What was the reasons
@@Izatilo-q9p I never received any reasons other than it's genetic.
I would love if you could make a video sharing your loss/fertility story and what you did when you eventually got pregnant successfully.

Hi Natalie! Recently had a D& C and doctor hasn't informed me of how long to wait to TTC. What would you recommend?
Is it normal after missed miscarriage to have elevated LH 13.1 and FSH 13.9 tested in the second day of the first menstrual cycle after the miscarriage?
How come my comment which got liked multiple times got removed???
