Chemical Pregnancies - I'm looking for success stories after them please

I'm 37, after suffering a MMC and MC a few years ago I am now trying with a new partner. After just four months TTC I found out I was pregnant last Sunday at 9DPO. I couldn't believe it but we have had him tested and he's very fertile - I've been ovulating every month after losing two stone specifically

Now this morning it seems it's chemical, I have no bleeding (yet) had a ton of pregnancy symptoms and I'm completely devastated. I am looking for success stories after CP please to give me a little hope that I will one day become a mum 🥺💔

Thanks so much @2020mission - I cried reading your story (I cry at everything right now of course!) This is this morning’s test. Most symptoms I had are now gone so I’m just desperately waiting for the bleeding to start so I can move forward. Did your period come on time or delayed and if so - do you remember how long by? My period would have been due in the next few days x

@MrsAlexander sorry to hear about your losses. I'm 34. My husband and I started TTC in January 2020 and we thought we were so lucky as the first ever attempt we got our BFP! A week later I was bleeding and we realised it was a chemical. We had another BFP in August that year but the same happened again. Started to worry at that point but kept trying. We didn't get our next BFP until April 2021 and to be honest when it happened I was just waiting for the loss to happen again it wasn't a positive feeling. I bled at 7 weeks and knew it was happening again however this time the pregnancy tests lines were still strong and it turned out to be a successful pregnancy! So it was third time lucky with a 16 month wait but it goes to show it can happen. My little one is 9 months now. Please try and keep positive it's horrible to suffer but it can definitely happen. I also didn't change anything on that successful pregnancy I was so tempted to start taking all sorts to try and make it stick but in the end I thought if it's going to be a chemical there's nothing I can do to stop it.

Thank you so much for your reply @WandaVon - it's exactly what I needed to hear. My period would have been due in the next few days but the text still has a faint positive. Did yours come on time? x

I had a chemical in Jan at the age of 36. Fell pregnant again on February and now I'm 33 weeks along. I hope it all works out for you.
