I was married when I was 22 year old now I am 23... after getting married I got pregnant after 1 month but I miscarried after 6 weeks like 45 days in total then after six months gap I got pregnant but the same happened to me miscarried after 6 weeks... I want to know the reason and cause for all this and all I want 2 know that can I get a baby again??

Not a lot is known about all the reasons women miscarry, but some are infection, exposure to environmental hazards like chemicals, and birth defects that nature is keeping from developing. Early miscarriages are much more common than many people think. You can't really know if you are likely to be able to carry a baby to term next time or not. Some women have several miscarriages and then give birth, and some are never able to. It takes a lot of money and a good medical center to work on all the possible ways to determine causes and solutions, and usually women wait until they have had several before they do this. Try to wait several months between pregnancies as you did this time. Ask your relatives for family history too.
If you work in some industry like textiles or hairdressing, or if you can be checked for infection, please look into that.

I did 2 tests one for toxoplamosis and the other was for brucella both were negative I really need to know what to do now... like any kind of preventive measures I am supposed to take... is my case common?? Miscarrying after 6 weeks two times is it common?? I really need help... I got no family history of miscarraiges... hope to find a solution..

Yes, it's common, sorry. It's so common that it is believed that there are countless ones that go unrecorded in the first month, because the embryo is still so small, and woman think they are having a heavy period.
What about long term exposure to chemicals in your town, your jobs, your husband's jobs, the soil, water? Do you live in a city or rural area? Pesticides on local crops? Your husband's medical history, or medications he takes now?
Those are all questions to consider, although they are secondary to the theory that nature has just designed us to miscarry a defective embryo. I would not consider the coincidence of 6 weeks for both to be significant, not yet.
Patience is key, because you don't want to rush to get pregnant again. Let your body settle back into your regular hormonal cycle.

Thanks for replying... no I don't think there is any kind of chemical exposure in our town I am nt doing a job am a house wife and my husband is a telecom engineer so he is not exposed to any kind of chemicals dats going to do the harm... he has no medical history as such and as far as I know he is not on any medications but yes I do take carbamazepine because I suffered from epilepsy not now though but the doctor told me that I should continue taking these tablets and that they were completely harmless as most of it is excreted... and no one in our family has been through recurrent miscarriages...

Miscarriage and epilepsy ARE related.
Please spend many days googling 'miscarriage and epilepsy' and read, read, read. It's a complicated subject.

Carbamazepine (Carbatrol) is a class D pregnancy risk drug - that's high risk.
Plus, even women who are not on any medication have a higher incidence of miscarriage with epilepsy.

I read about a woman who had 6 miscarriages before having 2 children. She and both children have epilepsy.

There is plenty of mis-information out there, so be careful. I would find a different doctor.

I did had this question in my mind so I did ask my doctor he is a very good and famous doc... he told me it won't harm my pregnancy and let me tel you I did not have epilepsy in general like it was just minor find of fits nothing else so what do you recommend me?? Should I stop taking these medicines? And I will go and see that doc again... but tell me what should I do now for a safe pregnancy?
Plus this what exactly the doctor told me he said its harmles like the chances are less please see this site

Epilepsy ALONE means higher incidence of miscarriage.
The drug is class D! Have you read the classes and what they mean?
And "Up to 90%" are safe - what kind of statistic is that? Up to 90 means anything from zero to 90!

Believe what you want and who you want.
You are going to have a harder time staying pregnant because of epilepsy.

Sometimes the benefits of some medications outweigh the risks. It is possible that this OP must take this medication.

I'm sorry that my emphasis sounded angry - I'm not.
No, I'm not saying anything about the drug; I don't know what studies have been done. I am saying that Class D drugs are considered to be unsafe during pregnancy. I am saying that women who have epilepsy do miscarry more.
You didn't Google 'epilepsy and miscarriage' did you?
Doctors may tell you that you have to have a seizure to be more likely to miscarry. That may be true, but it doesn't mean that not having seizures won't also have some effect on miscarriage. Just a history of epilepsy means an increased chance of miscarriage, according to several sites I read.
Keep in mind that statistics come from studies and studies like this can't be set up in a scientific setting because you can't use humans as test subjects. So the statistics are based on REPORTS. And if the world medical community doesn't keep track of a woman's history of epilepsy and early miscarriages, then the world doesn't know.

(J_9 brought up the fact that you may have to take the medication. That is between you and your doctor.)

She should not quit this medication without speaking with the doctor. This medication is prescribed for certain types of seizures and coming off the meds can be dangerous or life threatening at times with this particular drug.

Yes, it is a Class D drug, but there are certain situations that warrant that the patient continue taking that Class D, even through pregnancy, and this is one of those conditions. The OP would be monitored through a high risk OB if she is to continue taking them.

I want to emphasize that I never even remotely suggested that she quit the drug.

I never suggested you did Joy. Just that the OP may see it that way. I know I certainly read it that way last night and decided not to respond until I had time to read the thread again.

Yes, this medication does carry risks as it is a Class D. However, from my research on this med at the hospital last night, I found that 90% of women go on to carry healthy pregnancies, with little, if any, complications.

Yes, there is a risk of spina bifida with this drug. Yes, there is a risk of miscarriage. But in the end, it is up to the OP and her prescribing doctor, along with a high risk OB to determine if the risks of the medication are worth the benefit it delivers her.

Well thank you everyone... I will make sure that I see my doc as soon as possible and talk to him about all this matter... the information you both provided was very useful for me... but now somethng is knocking my mind... will I never be able to get babies just because I have epilepsy? Should I stop taking this drug cz I'm miscarrying due to it??

You didn't miscarry due to the drug.
You probably do have a higher probability of miscarriage due to a history of epilepsy.
Each woman is different. Epilepsy varies a lot. No one can predict when you will be able to carry a baby to full term.
Please re-read what I wrote very, very carefully, and please Google 'epilepsy and miscarriage' as I suggested.
You aren't reading carefully. I think your emotions are making you anxious. Take notes if it helps when you read here and other sites.
Please don't give up hope, even though you might have more miscarriages. Plenty of women are able to have children.
