I'm devastated. I finally thought this might be it. We're TTC baby #2 and I've just had my second chemical pregnancy in a row. It's heartbreaking. What is wrong with me?? These are my tests from the past few days, I was 2 days late on my period and boom, I've just come on Sad I don't know what else to do! Is there anything I can do to increase my chances next month?

I had this and turns out it was my TSH. It was 4 and should be 2.5 or under to successfully conceive. Meds take around 12 weeks to stabilise your TSH, then fell pregnant firsr try.

If you search thyroid issues on this board you'll see how common it is plus the various online blood tests if your GP won't test.

Thank you for replying @Livingmagicallyagain . I will try and give my gp a call and see if they could schedule me in for an appointment.

And so sorry to hear you’ve been through this twice. It’s an awful feeling x

Oh @lepnee I'm so sorry. I've had 3 consecutive CPs (after a loss at 14 weeks in February....). I'm now in the dreaded TWW again.
Speak to your GP. It really depends where you are but in some areas you can get referred to Tommy's (recurrent miscarriage clinic) after two losses.
I had my bloods checked by my gp after the 2nd CP and they've come back fine for thyroid etc. She won't do any progesterone tests like I had asked for but has now agreed to refer me. The referral has been made (it's for me and my partner) and we're waiting to hear from them. I had initially spoken to Tommy's before my I asked for the referral from my gp and they were amazing and said we'll get there. I've done so much research and have spoken to my sister (who is a midwife) and have now upped my Agnus Castus intake to 20mg/day to help my progesterone production and have also started 150mg Aspirin since ovulation, simply because I'm at a point where I've got nothing to lose until I'm being tested for any other issues. I might as well give it my best shot.....
This is all completely new to me since we conceived DS and the baby we lost so easily. Sending hugs.

Thank you @NoCallerID, I will be looking into that!
