[ - ] Any recurrent miscarriage moms on? Just got back the genetics from my 2nd miscarriage this year (and 3rd loss - one ectopic). The baby was chromosomally fine. If this happened to you, did you ever find out the cause of your miscarriages? Testing for me the first time around came back inconclusive so I am just not sure where this leaves me. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

The ectopic doesn't count as a miscarriage. Unfortunately 2 miscarriages can be common, don't start freaking out about your ability to have children if they can't figure it out this time around, I know many people who had two m/c and went on to have other kids. I'm sorry though, I've had an ectopic and that's really hard, especially with everything else on top of it. [ Reply | More

My BF had 3 miscarriages and it turned out her progesterone levels were very low. For her first successful pregnancy she used was prescribed progesterone supplements in the form of suppositories for the first trimester. Her second pregnancy was entirely problem free. After the 2nd m/c she went to a RE and then a high risk OB once she got pregnant. I'm sorry for your loss(es). [ Reply | More

I think it depends on the camera (and the store), but I think most cameras come with a small memory card. But then you'll want to buy a card with more storage space so you can take more pix (at higher quality); they're a lot cheaper than they used to be, I think you can get a pretty big card for $30-50 [ Reply | More

Start by asking if she ever has done any babysitting. If yes, ask here to come one day and you stay. If you like what you see and can check refs then go for it. Have her keep her cleaning responsibilities as well. You need references to check stuff like reliabiliy/punctuailty especially if you WOHM [ Reply | More
