Genetics?

Does the fact that my mom had 2 miscarriages before me mean that I am likely to miscarry? (She was younger) What about that she was able to get pregnant 6 or so times? Does that mean that I can get pregnant easily? I'm wondering if I'm overthinking all this! LOL.

Camille,

I think each woman is totally different. My mother swears that each time she had unprotected BD, she got PG. On the other hand, this is my 6 mo TTC.

I hope that you have an easy time - both getting PG and not having problems.

Good luck!

I don't think there's any relation. My mother had 16 children (yes, 16!). I have one older sister who had twin girls when she was 19, but wasn't ever able to conceive again. I have another older sister who has been unable to conceive (DH sperm quality issues). And I'm at 12 mos TTC and resorting to Clomid to help me ovulate... if only I was a fertile Myrtle like my mom!

Good luck to you!
