Hi, I have had 3 miscarriages post VR. The first was in June 06, which was just 5 months after the VR. I had never had a m/c before. I pretty much loss the baby the same week I got the BFP. It took 1.5 days to pass and I was in shock partly from the BFP, then sudden loss and partly because my loss occurred while I was out of state at a funeral for my grandmother.
I got pg right away (without a period) and loss that one in August at 8 weeks. I began spotting, went for an u/s where they found there was no heartbeat. The baby was not developing properly.
We waited for a cycle to pass, then got a BFP in Oct 2010. I went in for a 7 week u/s in Nov and they found an empty sac that was only 4 weeks along. I was sent to a perinatologist who performed an u/s a week later. He also found an empty sac, but it had grown. While the dr was hopeful my dates were off, I knew exactly when we had conceived. My DH is only home on weekends so we have those kind of things nailed down pretty well. I miscarried naturally 2 weeks from the first u/s. It was very painful physically, but the emotional toll did not catch up to me until Christmas break.
We are now seeing a fertility specialist and so far all test results have come back normal. I always thought our biggest hurdle was going to be getting pg. After hitting that 5 month mark, that has not been an issue. Instead, we have a whole new problem with carrying to term. We are trying baby aspirin empirically and just praying the next one will stick. I've asked God to not allow us to conceive if it's not meant to be. It may sound like a strange way to pray on a ttc after VR board, but my heart just can't take another loss.
