As someone who experienced 5 miscarriages, I want to share what can be observed on a fertility chart when a pregnancy ends.
I learned to track fertility 14 years ago, even before getting married. I thought I knew everything about my fertility and could control it for a healthy pregnancy.
To my disappointment, during the first pregnancy ultrasound, I discovered that my baby's heart was not beating. It was incredibly painful, and I never imagined I'd go through the same several times.
Two miscarriages preceded the birth of my son, and three more occurred before my daughter was born.
It's worth noting that recurrent miscarriage is rare, occurring in only 0.7% of women. However, approximately 15.3% of couples experience their first pregnancy ending in miscarriage, often with unknown causes.
If you've experienced pregnancy loss, my heartfelt sympathies. Don't give up, and you may witness your miracle.
Contrary to common belief, tracking fertility signs didn't help me predict or identify early pregnancy issues. Even if the fetus has died, the female body continues to consider itself pregnant, producing hormones that can mislead fertility charting. Ultrasound and Doppler studies are the only reliable diagnostic methods.
Nevertheless, how can fertility education help in seemingly hopeless situations?
Firstly, knowing fertile days increases conception chances, as in my case. Pregnancy occurred quickly because I knew the optimal time for conception. Out of 7 pregnancies, two resulted in the birth of healthy children.
Secondly, if fertility charting during pregnancy planning reveal a luteal phase deficiency, addressing it promptly with a doctor can correct progesterone imbalance. Progesterone deficiency is a known cause of early miscarriages.
Thirdly, understanding ovulation helps accurately determine conception day and calculate gestational age and estimated due date correctly. Avoiding errors in gestational timing is crucial, especially when dealing with recurrent miscarriage.
I hope my story is helpful, and I sincerely wish you never experience the pain of miscarriage.
