Chemical pregnancy? Help!

[Mamainmaking1]

Hi everyone I'm currently having what I suspect is a chemical pregnancy - started spotting brown on Monday after BFP and being one day late for period. Had pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, light headedness etc up to Tuesday mid day and then it all stopped. My lines were getting darker up to Tuesday on a frer (negative clear blue digi later ok tuesday) then from Wednesday the tests were a bit fainter and then stayed the same. Yesterday I started red/dark red bleeding with terrible cramps. The cruel thing aS that just before the bleeding I had took a frer and it was getting fainter ever so slightly but for the first time I got a pregnant 1-2 weeks on the clear blue . I just want to know anyone else experience with this and does this sound like a typical chemical pregnancy? Has anyone had one and went on to quickly have another successful preganncy ? Did anyone take anything such as progesterone to help? What bloods should I be asking the Dr to run ? I also have an under active thyroid. Any help would be really appreciated!

So sorry @Welliedays and @Morgane777 they’re so so awful

@Mamainmaking1 I’m positive I’m out
I’m due on in 2 days and have my pre AF heavy uterus crampy feeling
I’m 100% sure I’ll start wiping brown Friday at 9dpo
Stupid short LP :( then I get about 5 days of that before the red flow starts, what the heck

Progesterone bloods this afternoon, I feel like I know they’re going to come back too low :(

Hello

I'm sorry to read that you have all suffered with chemical pregnancies I totally get how devastating that can be when you are wanting something so badly.

I got my BFP on Wednesday and then a 1-2 weeks on Friday with a clear blue. However I have spotted every day. No major stomach cramps sometimes it feels a bit achey.

Do you think this will turn into a chemical? I know really only time will tell and I plan to do another clear blue digital next week but not sure when, to see if there dates change

@indecisivewoman81 sorry to hear about your situation. It is so hard to tell because when it was happening to me I kept reading how normal it was to be spotting at that time and as long as it wasn't red etc it was fine. But I had got the positive on the Monday and by Tuesday pm I had felt a real decline in my pregnancy symptoms - I wasn't as nauseous , chest wasn't sore etc. Then my lines weren't getting any darker on the frer so that also had me prepared for worst - how has your line progression been? Mine never became a strong blazing positive - it became a visable positive only. Achey can also be caused by your uterus getting ready for baby - at this stage it is a waiting game how many weeks?

@Boc86 how are you getting on ? Any sign of AF or are you still waiting to see how this month went? How did you get on at your bloods?

@Mamainmaking1 thank you for the reply. I haven't got any more cheap tests left just the digital conception one (which I'm holding out to use end of next week). I'm only very early on 4 weeks 4 days I think. It's just a waiting game and I know that really. I was very nauseas last night and had woke up starving Saturday morning. Both these things I remember from before (I have two children age 10 and 7). I don't feel too bad today, apart from having a headache and a bit of heartburn (but this could be anything).

I will just have to wait and see. I need to learn patience!

@Mamainmaking1 I came on with absolutely no BFP so just didn’t even catch this month
I now have to wait till November to try again due to commitments next year

My bloods showed low progesterone so I’ll have to start progesterone suppositories :(

How is everyone doing at this stage of the cycle? @Welliedays @GanderousGoose @Littlebee1990 @Morgane777

So sorry to hear about AF @Boc86 but really glad you got to bottom of potential problem with the Dr and they have agreed to give you progesterone. What were your levels if you don't mind me asking? I often worry my progesterone may be low as I spot for 2 days before AF every month which I think I read somewhere could be a sign.

Who on here takes asprin? (Or Intending to take asprin). Can you advise me on what dosage you take and when you start it?

Is anyone taking any supplements to try and help prevent further chemicals? I have read about a few different things - coq10, calc flur, vitamin b and vitamin d etc and I don't know where to start. I would also like something to help thicken my lining (I ovulate early on day 12 approx).

Perhaps @Wearewaiting @Spinksy9 you could advise if you took anything additional or changed anything before geting your most recent BFP?

@indecisivewoman81 I hope things are continuing to work out for you

Hi @Mamainmaking1
I'm on cycle day 6 today, so not much happening for me yet. My last AF, which was my second chemical, was so painful! I've never experienced that pain before! Has anyone experienced painful AF when is a chemical?
I started taking baby aspirin last month and I've been taking Coq10 also (Ubiquinol, which is absorbed better by the body).
I also take prenatal vitamins and vitamin D.

Hi everyone - CD10 for me. Will definitely keep you all posted and would love to hear from all of you too about how things go! I'm trying not to be too hopeful, esp given my age...

@Morgane777 what is baby aspirin? I had 75mg asprin is that too high? When do you start taking the asprin?
Also, see the vitamin D, do you take it on top of the vitamin d in your prenatal? What dosage do you take? @GanderousGoose yes we will definatly keep updated, really hope this is a good month for us!!! Last month I was so busy and the days flew by without me really thinking about them - I don't feel the same this month I feel like every day I am conscious of what stage I am at so feel this month may drag 🙈

Hey Everyone!
CD11 for me.. hoping to be in my fertile week by end of this week 🤞🏼
I have been taking folic acid and also vitamin D but nothing else. My apps say AF is due 7th September.. we are away on a staycation with a group of friends on 3-13th and I can’t decide if you take a test with us or not...

I'm cd24 and got my BFP yesterday (although I'm not getting my hopes up just yet). AF is due on Thursday so I'll feel happier a week today if I've not had any bleeding. I only tested as I had a few symptoms but wanted to mentally prepare myself for a negative.. And then it ended up positive!!

@mamainmaking1 things all semi okay here. Tiny bit of brown on knickers again today ?one small spot) no idea why this is. I would have though that if I was going to have a chemical it would have happened by nOw but who knows. Plan on testing again at end of the week.

Felt very nauseas again last night and this morning. Like travel sick

@Mamainmaking1 my progesterone is 18.4 it should be over 30
I’m on baby aspirin i snap a dispersible 300mg in 1/4 so 75mg, it’s supposed to be 81mg
I take vit c, d, b6 and complex with the aspirin and Seven seas trying for a baby it’s ridiculous 🙄

@Mamainmaking1 baby aspirin is low dose aspirin. I take 81 mg daily (as @Boc86 says). I started last month and haven't stopped since. You should be careful with alcohol and I take it with food (otherwise is not easy on your stomach).
@Welliedays I hope this BFP is the good one for you!

Thank you @morgane777, I hope so too, but I'm feeling very symptomless again today!

@Welliedays becareful what you say! Last week I told a friend I just didn't feel pregnant. Today I vomited in tesco 🤢🤣

@spinksy9 😂😂 this has actually just made my day, I mean I'm so happy it wasn't me doing that, although now you'd said that I do need to go to tesco later 🙈 sorry, I shouldn't laugh!! How many weeks are you (just so I can work out when to avoid going hahhahaha)

@Welliedays between 6 and 7 weeks! I have never run so fast in my life. Just abandoned my trolley at the till and made it to the disabled toilet !

Hi everyone sorry I have been busy last few days.

@Welliedays congratulations so pleased for you!!! How are you feeling now? Was this your first cycle after chemical? Giving us all hope over here!

@Boc86 sorry to hear about AF but the chances are higher for a BFP for a few months (I think 6) after chemical from what I read online so fingers crossed , I know it's crappy but keep positive!!

@indecisivewoman81 how has everything worked out for you? I read online today that if you are experiencing spottint early pregnancy you can request progesterone from the GP. Tommy's website has a info sheet you can actually bring with you so just a thought for you if it's still ongoing.
I really wish I had of known that and I would of atleast tried it to see if I could of saved the last pregnancy.

@Morgane777 I am around 3dpo, should I start the asprin now? I have 75mg asprin is that ok to take daily?

@Boc86 I have just bought the procieve vitamins as they are apparently packed full of stuff and I have upped my dose of levothyroxine myself as gp reported my under active thyroid was out of whack a bit last test and reflexology said it was out too but gp said to repeat test in three months? 🙈 What level of vitamin d are you guys taking? I have read good things about b6 and vitamin e for preventing miscarriage, what dosage do you take boc86?

@Boc86 my progesterone came back at 31.9n/mol, as far as I am aware that's just 10.5ml and I think it has to be 10 to be normal ovulation. Makes me think mine is also pretty low and I could possibly benefit also from progesterone. So rubbish when does it end for us!!

How's everything with you @Littlebee1990 ? Have you reached fertile week yet? Fingers crossed for BFP!!!

@Spinksy9 hope you aren't too sick, but its all good in terms of strong pregannccy symptoms :)

Ahh thank you @Mamainmaking1, AF was due yesterday, but I give her until probably Sunday or Monday to show her ugly face. Havent tested since Sunday so I might test again this Sunday to check what's happening! It was my first cycle since my chemical, so there is hope for everyone... As long as it sticks this time!!

@Welliedays fingers crossed for you!! Ans remember if any bleeding starts you can request progesterone! I know I will definatly be keeping that in mind when I get my next BFP and first sign of anything I will be in the gps lol. So exciting for you!!

Ps, @Welliedays did you take anything different this time?

@Mamainmaking1 ahh thank you, I'll remember that! I was just taking folic acid before and I started taking vit d and vit C this time.. But literally no other changes at all

@Mamainmaking1 I hadn't realised that so thank you. I haven't been spotting for two days now so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Going to test tomorrow am and am hoping for an increase in dates on my digital clear blue (last week said 1-2).
I will keep you posted.
I hope you are doing okay?
