Hi allchik, very sorry for your recent loss. Sad We've all been through it here, so we know how awful it is.

I had a natural mc back in June (no ERPC or medical management, it happened at home without any intervention), and I still got a faint positive on a home test two weeks later. By three weeks I was testing negative. It's perfectly normal for the hormones to take a little while to clear out of your system. (That said, if you're still testing positive after a few weeks which is unlikely let your doctor know.)

It's 2WW time for me. I'm pretty sure I popped an egg a few days ago. As of today I'm getting a bit of the tiredness and dizziness I had on my BFP cycle, though sore boobs and metal mouth have yet to make an appearance. Fingers crossed...

I went back to work as soon as I could as I felt like I would just feel more sorry for myself. Hopefully it'll be good for you to get back to work too x

First mmc happened August bank holiday, I started bleeding when I was 11 weeks. I had one af then got pregnant again only to have another mmc on 10th Jan, found out at my 12 week scan with no bleeding. I had my first af last week so we'll be trying again as soon as!

As I'd already had a successful and uneventful pregnancy we told friends and family quite early on thinking nothing would go wrong, when I had my first mmc I found so many people I knew had gone through it before. It is common but lots people do go on to have full term pregnancies with no trouble so keep your chin up and look forward to trying for a baby again x

Thank you for your kind words. I just can not believe how empty and lost I feel, I'll be fine for a few hours and then it will just hit me like a sledge hammer.
Going back to work tomorrow and DREADING it, work at a school, but kind of thinking it will do me good to plod on and 'get on with life' but I just feel as though Im in limbo land really......I had began to imagine the next year with such a dif outcome....e.g. that I would be breaking up for the summer break and not going back (was due 2nd Sept)....was going to be 6 months pregnant for my sis in laws wedding so was having a maternity bridesmaid dress made etc.....just can't seem to readjust to the next 6 months without a growing bump :(

The first 12 weeks seemed like such a hurdle......to get to 13 and for it all to end was heartbreaking....so scared to go through it all agin....but desperate for it at the same time!!

Did you manage to conceive again? sorry if its too personal to answer :(

Feel like I just want to sleep for 12 weeks and wake up with a healthy 2nd trimester pregnancy xxx

Hi allchik, so sorry to hear your sad news x It is so shocking when there are no signs indicating anything is wrong.
I've heard different things from different people/doctors/hospitals but first time we waited for 1 af so that dating the pregnancy was easier plus I felt it wasn't quite so raw (emotionally) and my hormones had settled down too. I can understand your want/need to try as soon as possible though x
I'm not sure about when to test for a negative result as it didn't occur to me to do that!

Big hug x Take care of yourself x
