I am new here. I recently underwent ivf and was successful in getting pregnant after six year. I tried many clomid cycle many iui but no success. Finally I Concieved a baby through Ivf . I don't have to tell you how happy we were, and how normal we felt, then last week we also lost the baby and pain has been indescribable. I had my d&c three days before. ( nine week without heartbeat )
I am extremely depressed but I want a baby as soon as possible. I also afraid of going same thing again and loosing the baby again. Will it be easier to concieve second time and what are the chances of a repeat miscarriage? Can anyone advise or help?

Just wanted to say never give up. My sister had an ectopic pregnancy and lost one fallopian tube, went through months of tests afterwards and for IVF which was unsuccessful as they said her eggs were getting too large. They told her she would never have another child. She got pregnant naturally and now has a son. So, never give up, it can happen. Also, you are at your most fertile when you have been pregnant. <em>edited by KB100 on 09/12/2012</em>

Just wanted to send best wishes to you all. We hit the jackpot on our third attempt but sadly they couldn't find a heartbeat but had to wait 3 weeks before I had a partial mc, then emergency d&c back in August. I totally agree with asouheir and confusion too. Babylover, whether you have a mc through natural conception or IVF there's no reason why you would have a higher risk of mc again. I hope you're successful next time. x Confusion, I'm so sorry to hear your news. Don't give up hope. x Nicky1md, lots of luck in your fourth attempt - I really hope it works. I always said I'd try four times ... x JoyceB, I had to laugh at the 'just winked' comment - you lucky thing! From what I remember of previous posts you've made, you have a great relationship with your kids. I'm sure you'll be a great support to your daughter, good luck x

Bablylover I am so sorry. I know exactly how you feel as I have today had it confirmed that I will also possibly have to have a d&c next week after ivf as my baby is not growing. This will be my 3rd ivf pregnancy and sadly none of them have made it. I originally wanted to avoid posting to you as didnt want you to feel disheartened by my story. However, after speaking with the doctor today I want to confirm exactly what asoheir says, the chances of miscarriage are DEFINITELY NOT higher with ivf they are just more detectable due to the monitoring we have. I have had this confirmed now by THREE doctors. I so understand your pain and wish we didnt have to go through this heartache but the fact remains IVF DID work for you so now it all depends on whether you have the strength to continue. I hope you do as there really has to be some good eventually from all this hurt. Sending you very warm wishes and hugs xx

I feel so very sorry for ladies who have to go through the emotional trauma of IVF. My DD is waiting to start IVF and I know how it affects her and her DH. My normally happy bouncy girl is just not herself. Wish I knew how to support her. My DH just winked and I was pregnant. All her friends are having children and some are onto their second and third babies. She's been married 4 years and didnt want to wait to start her family. Having had a miscarriage, I understand the pain and upset. Sending hugs and all the best for the future x

Hi, I am sorry that you had a miscarriage. I can't say I know how you feel. But I understand how difficult and emotional trying to conceive can be. As far as I know, when I did my research on ivf, we hear about more miscarriages thru ivf then spontaneous pregnancies, not because the likely hood of a miscarriage is higher through ivf. But because an ivf pregnancy is monitered so closely that statistically they might miss taking into account all of the miscarriages that happen when they are through natural conception. I guess I am trying to say, that ivf seems to have more chances of a miscarriage just because we monitor it so match more. On the other hand, a woman might get pregnant, and very early on loose the pregnancy, without her even knowing about it. Am I making sense? But I don't think there is any conclusive evidence that says a chance of a miscarriage is higher through ivf. I hope this helps. I wish you strength, to go through this again. And hopefully next time around you will get your wish.
