A mother-of-one has spoken out about the heartbreak she endured during 27 miscarriages.
Lisa, 33, from Birmingham, unwilling to reveal her last name, had a smooth pregnancy with her firstborn in 2007 and assumed it would just sail in the future.
However, the intern nurse worker endured two devastating miscarriages before being diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
Tests showed that Lisa had high levels of natural killer cells, which meant her body was killing unborn embryos. But the medication has not stopped the heartbreaking miscarriages.
Lisa has talked about her devastating days after Meghan revealed Markle in an article The New York On Wednesday, how she lost her second child after a ‘sharp cramp’ while changing her son Archie’s diaper in July.

“I never knew it was possible to have unexplained complications in building a family,” explains Lisa. It’s frustrating and heartbreaking to say the least. Losing a baby doesn’t get any easier, but I have developed thick skin.
‘I am super fertile, but I don’t even smile and don’t celebrate when I see two more lines. When the pain and miscarriage occur, it literally feels like my heart is being ripped out.
“But the harsh reality is that once it happened, I can carry on as if it didn’t happen.”
Lisa describes her second miscarriage at ten weeks as the ‘worst’ as she was hospitalized for blood loss.

“I was at a family meal and it happened when I went to the bathroom,” she explained. ‘I remember the blood pouring out. It was so traumatic. I couldn’t believe I lost another baby. ‘
The NHS cannot further investigate miscarriages until the woman has suffered three.
Lisa sought private medical care because she could no longer endure the pain. But the tests came back to normal, which meant there was no cure to end the heartbreak. Lisa was “confident” it wouldn’t happen again.
“When diagnosed with unexplained infertility, it is more difficult to accept,” she said. After three miscarriages, I stopped telling my friends and family that I was pregnant.
Like I almost waited for it to happen again. I have seen strong heartbeats that have given me hope that it will not happen again.
‘I often wonder why this is happening to me. Sometimes it feels unfair. I am grateful for my daughter, 13, who I don’t want to be called, but I don’t understand how or why I can’t carry another.
“I’m desperate for that overwhelming feeling of love you get when you have a newborn.”
The average woman has 5% natural killer cells, but Lisa had 11%. She prayed that the medication would work to reduce them.
Doctors were baffled when the cells dropped to 2%, but the recurring miscarriages continued.
In May 2019, Lisa was informed that the only way she will have a biological child would be through surrogacy.
“I didn’t even have to ask my sister Joana, 31, because she’s offered it many times,” she explained. “I can’t even imagine how grateful and grateful I am that she is going through with it. ‘We did an IVF round in October, but that failed.
‘I was sure it would work because the embryos were healthy and Joana is a mother of two. That loss hurt more than the rest because I thought surrogacy would be the answer.
Fortunately my sister wants to try again. She said she would do anything to help me. ‘
Lisa hopes her story can break the taboo and encourage women to speak up about miscarriages.
“I don’t think it is talked about enough,” she said. “I want others to know that they are not alone and that miscarriages happen without a medical explanation.”
