Not pregnant after chemical

86 replies

Hey guys, I believe I had a chemical pregnancy in December. I had several faint positive tests that got more faint over several days. I read so many success stories of people conceiving the month after a chemical so was hoping I would. I am now on day 2 of a new cycle so did not conceive this month. I am feeling really down about it and worried this might never happen for me. Did anyone conceive soon after a chemical but not the month after?

@Lou739 a break sounds like a good idea. I think trying to conceive can be a viscous cycle, the stress is very real. I am trying to be more relaxed this month but I will probably be a mess when I get to the tww. I will definitely keep you posted, I think I will ovulate in the next few days 🤞.

@Millie1501 im actually taking your advice from a previous post and keeping super busy and taking things easy! Will be away during ovulation this cycle for work so won’t be trying which is probably a good thing to take the pressure off but please keep me updated I’ve everything crossed for u!

@mumtum2023 so glad it happened for you soon after your chemical. Good to hear positive stories like that 😊.

@Lou739 i know it’s so tough right now. But I have heard loads of stories of people getting pregnant longer than expected after a chemical. I think conceiving is a bit like rolling a dice each month but the longer you try the more likely it will become. Also you know you can get pregnant so there’s a very good chance it will happen again, just no way of knowing when sadly. I hope you have some fun plans to cheer yourself up this week?

@mumtum2023 thank you for the positivity it’s so hard after a chemical when it’s not happening as u hear how many people get pregnant super quick after. Had chemical in sep 2023 and still no luck x

Hi, I had a chemical pregnancy in May 2022 and fell pregnant again end of August/beginning of Sept 22. Baby is now 9 months old x

Lou739 · 03/03/2024 17:42

About a week away from ovulation so no updates. I’m feeling a bit defeated by the whole process. Not looking forward to the tww. How are you feeling? When you planning on testing?

Lou739 · 28/02/2024 15:09

Hi all any positive updates! Hope everyone is doing well currently 9 dpo!

@Lou739 oh I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. The tww is harder and harder every month. I bet it’ll happen when we least expect it lol. Try keep yourself busy and take your mind off things. I’ve booked quite a few dates with friends to meet up with during my predicted tww. I’m going to try acupuncture this month. I know a lot of people don’t believe it helps with fertility. But if it helps relax me and takes my mind of things that can’t be a bad thing.
Keep me posted.

@Millie1501 I’m day 14 (I usually ovulate early 9-12) so in tww, absolutely not getting my hopes up this month as I was convinced last month was my month. I hope next cycle is your time- a Xmas bundle of joy maybe ;)

@Lou739 af arrived yesterday, so gutted. I had some pms like symptoms but also had some unusual symptoms for me. I was bloating a lot which I usually only do around ovulation and I was feeling dragging sensations etc on my right side. I was convinced it may be my month but no. On to month 9 now, trying to re stress this month and make ttc more fun, I don’t think stressing is helping. Whereabouts are you on your cycle now? Are you on your tww? How are you feeling?

@Millie1501 how are you getting on this cycle?

@Lou739 aww I’m sorry, our bodies really do play tricks on us while ttc. I will post an update for sure. My son’s birthday is on Monday and we are having a party on Sunday. So that will be a good distraction. I’m going to try wait until next Friday to test.

OP posts:
Lou739 · 07/02/2024 23:34

@Millie1501 af came 4 days late- talk about my brain playing tricks! And Af is never that late but I’m really hoping this is your month so please keep me updated:) we need some good feb news 😀

@Lou739 how you getting on now? Hope you have an answer either way. I hate the tww, I’m only 3-4 dpo atm

I have mild cramps in uterus area defo had major pms symptoms from cycle day 19 - 26 and now on day 30 just mild cramps and small bit of white cm. So odd when I tested today really thought it would be BFP. Really confused

@Lou739 sorry to hear that. I think you’ve done well waiting until 12/13 dpo tbh. I know it doesn’t seem promising but if af doesn’t arrive maybe test again in a couple of days.

OP posts:
Lou739 · 31/01/2024 14:15

Caved and done a early detection clear blue digital at 2pm today and was negative. I am about 12/13 dpo and did wee about an hour before the test sorry tmi! But so disappointing! Hope you ladies are having better luck x

It’s very common to feel pms symptoms before a bfp. I think it’s hard to tell until you’ve missed your period tbh. Try do something to keep your mind off things until you are ready to test. I have my fingers crossed for you.
