Dealing with chemical pregnancy...

[Lauralau10]

Hi all

I got my BFP yesterday and was so excited - i was worried though as all the symptoms I had had worn off a little and I was spotting. As there were no cramps, I didn't think much of it - what will be will be after all.

This morning, I woke up to heavy bleeding, clots and 2 x bfn, not even a hint of a line in either so I'm assuming I've had a chemical pregnancy.

I'm absolutely beside myself about it and I'm so terrified of it happening again - not to mention my OH wants to wait ttc now until Christmas!

How do you deal with this!?

I'm so sorry you are going through this, I'm sorry I've no real advice but all I can say is take time to look after yourself and allow yourself that time to mourn

Laura I'm sorry to hear this. It's really hard, seeing a line only to have it disappear again. It has happened to me (more than once) and to a lot of others on here. Personally, I found the worst thing was that I didn't know if it would happen again or whether I would ever get pregnant 'properly', rather than grief for that particular pregnancy, if that makes sense. Everyone is different though. Look after yourself. What I can say is that it WILL get better and it is overwhelmingly likely that you will have a successful pregnancy in the future. If it helps to know, I'm now 17 weeks with twins.
Wishing you all the best with it

Big hugs.

I've had 3 chemical pregnancies this year following 2 years of infertility. The first one was by far the hardest as it was a week from my BFP to bleeding, and I allowed myself to believe it would be OK. The second two were slightly easier. People seem to think that a chemical isn't a real miscarriage as it's so early, but it certainly felt like it to me. Allow yourself to grieve properly.

I found out on Wednesday that I'm pregnant again. I know there's still a chance of it happening again but something feels different this time, and I'm just praying it sticks.

Allow your dh time to grieve as well. I think men don't know how best to deal with it, and maybe he thinks that giving you some time will be best?

I'm sorry you've gone through this. It happened to me last cycle almost exactly the same as you. It was heartbreaking and I felt like such a fool for getting excited and believing we had done it. Have had some TLC from DH and a trip away to get some time on our own and I would recommend it to you just so you can talk it through together. My next hurdle is dealing with the fear of it happening again but trying to keep a positive attitude. Big hugs and look after yourself x
