Hi folks...just wanted some advice really. Little history on myself, I am 29 and have had 2 miscarriages and no kids so far. Me and DH have been trying to get pregnant again for a while now and it has taken about 9 months...which was a shock for me because the first 2 times I got pregnant very quick.
In any case both my pregnancies ended in heartache...both physical and emotional pain. I am now pregnant again at 5 wks and feel so on edge and anxious that I cannot even begin to explain. What makes it worse is ever since about ovulation I have been getting terrible cramping similar to a coming period, I was convinced this month was a fail too but then 7 days passed and still no AF, I was excited that I was pregnant but I am just experiencing horrible periods pains. There is no bleeding just cramps. Anyway I feel really sad and down in the dumps and my previous two experiences with loss keep flashing in front of my eyes and I'm just terrified again. I cannot bear another experience like that.
I have decided to quit work after talking to my husband and be on bed rest, but I feel like a major inconvenience to all my co workers as it will come at a time when we are short staffed anyway due to covid.
Also does anyone know of any testing I can do even if private to see if everything is adequate levels? For e.g. progesterone maybe? As my previous MC were both around 8 to 9 wks. Also has anyone else had these cramps which are pretty bad and feel like a period pain? Is this something I should be concerned about...as I am freaking out and feel crazy. 😓😥
