After a fetal heartbeat is detected, your chances of miscarriage drop to around 5%. That on top of the fact that I had just had a baby with seeming random chromosomal problems made me feel safe (what are the odds of two in a row?)... But that was just stupid. Of course I'm going to come out on the bottom.

Abbie- my heart is breaking for you right now. I wish there was something I could say to make you feel even a tiny bit better, but I know there's not sweet girl... We had to wait until after the 3 mc to see anybody. I don't get why you aren't classified as RPL until then, but what are you going to do? I hope you find out that you can speed up the process.

I'll be thinking of you...
The clinical term for miscarriage is 'spontaneous abortion'. It doesn't matter that Max was a missed abortion, it still counts as a miscarriage and any doctor willing to treat 2 recurrent miscarriages will consider your losses as miscarriages.
