Teen Pregnancy - About Miscarriage

Question
I'm just 16y.o and I've got pregnant for 5 times and lost them.
Maybe because of stress and the arguments, me and my boyfriend had together.
I swore we had all those babies and lost them before they even get to their first month. Everything was not intentional.
We've lost the 5th last July. My menstrual period for August and September are both fine, except for this October. The blood appeared only once and then, none.

I wanted to ask you if I'm still able to have a child in the future. I'm really scared and I want the percentage. Please answer me.
And what are the chances to have any cancer-related diseases?
Please.

Answer
Dear Michelle,

First, I am not a doctor.

Believe it or not, the average woman has NINE losses of either embryos or fertilized eggs before carrying one to full term and giving birth. Most women do not notice these because most happen before the women have even missed a period.

There is no reason to believe that in the future you won't be able to have a healthy pregnancy and give birth. Sixteen is a little too young to give birth anyway.

I would say you have a 100% chance of giving birth when you are at least 20 years old, married, and living with less stress in your life.

Cancer is an entirely different matter, and has nothing to do with miscarriages. The best way to determine your risk for cancer it to ask both of your parents about any cancer related illnesses that people in their families have had.

Best wishes,

Deb
