29. Rebecca Smith - Unexplained Infertility, Recurring Miscarriage, Partial Molar Pregnancy

In episode 29 we talk to Rebecca Smith. Bec started her trying to conceive journey in January 2021 and has sadly already experienced more heart ache in the last 14 months then some do throughout their whole conceiving journey. It all started only weeks after removing her contraceptive mirena when she found out she was pregnant and her and her partner were absolutely blown away how quickly it happened. Not expecting it to happen so soon they were still so overjoyed at the news and already started planning her due date and picturing what life will be like with a little bubba. A few weeks later after a hesitant call from her doctor and seeing what every pregnant woman’s fear most, Bec started having her first miscarriage. They decided to jump straight back into trying and whilst this next try was also successful, they were faced with another miscarriage shortly after seeing the positive pregnancy test. This second time really hit them hard and they decided that they wanted to have a break and change their model of care as they weren’t getting the support they had hoped for. Fast forward to September, Bec was now under the care of a fertility specialist who was following her cycle closely to ensure that her hormones, ovulation and egg quality were all on track, unfortunately even with the guidance of a specialist and going through ovulation induction assistance they experienced another 3 failed months. Thankfully after Bec’s fourth month with her specialist they finally had some amazing news and they were finally pregnant, just in time to end the year on a high note. It pains me to say but this resulted in a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks and they were later re-diagnosed with the pregnancy being a partial molar pregnancy. She explains what an absolute whirlwind of emotions this has been and goes into detail of what a partial molar pregnancy is and the potential after affects that can happen. This is extremely raw for Bec and her partner and she has been so brave throughout this whole episode. She only hopes to spread awareness about her battles and help anyone else on a similar journey.
