The bleeding stopped after a week and a half. Now it is October 17 and I have not gotten my first period after the misscarriage. How long before I should be concerned? Thank you~ Debbie Deanna~

Four losses in a row are indeed very suspicious and sometimes stimulating egg development when you don't need it can lead to the body ovulating poor quality eggs, causing more miscarriage. Talk to your OB about the drug, especially since you inadvertently took it at the wrong time. Letrozole is a highly dangerous drug for embryos.

Unfortunately, this is my fourth failed pregnancy in a row. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter - she was my first pregnancy. My first miscarriage was at around 10 weeks - after I'd heard a heartbeat. The 3 subsequent pregnancies haven't made it past 7 weeks. We think one was an ectopic. My husband and I are going to see my OB this week to discuss what to do next. We think it may be a hormone issue, but these last 2 miscarriages happened while I was taking Letrizole. Somewhere in my heart I almost feel like it's just not my time yet to have another baby. My daughter is a joy and we have a good life, which, like many people is filled with outside stresses including a father with Alzheimer's and a mother who is not taking care of herself b/c of his illness. They are in financial dire stress and rely on us for a lot. So - maybe this is my time to help support them and an baby may come when I'm ready to concentrate on me again. Who knows. Regarding testing...I tested on Day 29 (which I thought was Day 1) b/c I started bleeding. Test was Negative. when my period lasted over 7 days I knew something was up. That's when I took the test and got a faint line. Got the blood test that came back at 80. So there I was more or less hoping it was failing b/c I'd already started taking the Letrizole which is a big no no if you're pregnant. Screwed up, eh? Thanks for letting me vent.

It is helping me go through what I'm undergoing now. I am miscarrying now. My husband and I have decided to go through it naturally. We are both sad and grieving now but all the articles and stories here are really helpful to both of us, especially to me. I am 36 y/o on my 11-12 weeks, with my first pregnancy. That coupled with a number of other conditions that I have: endometriosis, PCOS, blocked left fallopian tube, among others, makes me a high risk patient according to my ob/gyn-perinatologist. In fact, after my ultrasound yesterday when we found out that the gestational sac had already collapsed with subchrionic hemorrhaging already present, my doc told me I'm really a super high risk patient. Be that as it may, I'm really grateful for her kindness, patience and compassion. As I am writing this, I feel a sense of peace. Again, thank you.
