Anyone have 3 or more chemicals? If so, what is the plan now?

I’ve had 2 this year and currently awaiting my fate. AF due 17th Nov and getting faint shadows with colour on internet cheapies but too faint to be picked up on camera.

Previous 2 chemicals I never made it past AF date and this is always how it started off, faint test after faint test...

Hry hun I didn't want to read and run, I've had 2 this year and now I've just got a BFP. I gave up and stopped tracking then missed a period so decided to test, came back positive, so must have caught immediately after my chemical in sept.
I've had terrible treatment in the docs/hospital, told me they won't see me because of covid and as losses we're before 8 weeks. So I've been on my own!
Pinning my hopes on this one as I would put myself at 7 weeks which is the furthest I've been.
I would speak to your doc if you are worried, but my advice is to just keep going, and stay positive and stop early testing, I waited until I missed a period to test then there's less upset.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Hey @lastbany and @rbetty - I started to bleed this morning after having faint bfps since 10 Nov. I don’t know what to do, I feel like I’ll never carry a sticky pregnancy

Hi,
Not 3 chemicals but a mc at 10 weeks followed 2 consecutive chemicals. I decided to try for a few more moths before going to gp. It's just so hard. The months I didn't get pregnant, I just thought oh well but the chemicals were just cruel and painful.
The next month I was pregnant again and it was totally different. Lines were properly there.
How long have you been trying? Worth seeing your gp as they may recommend trying something straightforward - aspirin for example.

@User415373 - Hey 👋 I’ve spoken to the GP and they’ve referred me so it’s a waiting game now as with Covid things are moving slow. Could take months to get an appointment out for me.

Each time I get positives a week or so before AF and they don’t get darker. They remain light but present. Then bam! Bleeding starts around AF time. It’s so so upsetting because I know something was happening in my body and it was trying to get pregnant but failed to.

My doc hasn’t said anything about aspirin and I’ve been told to wait for my referral. I had bloods done and they came out fine such as thyroid etc.

I’m so sorry to hear about ur losses, I can’t imagine how hard it must’ve been for u at 10 weeks. Did ur last pregnancy with the strong lines work out? Did u try aspirin?x

Hi,
That's great that you're at least in the system. Hopefully you won't need it!
No I didn't take anything but I'd been reading a lot on why some people manage to get pregnant and why implantation may not occor. My mc was missed and had happened at 5 weeks so just after implantation, too. I felt my problem was very different to those who struggled to get pregnant. Of course no one really knows and much of the time it's genetic abnormalities. However, if it is an implantation issue my understanding is that it can usually be helped with hormones /supplements in some cases. I am now 18 weeks with no problems and have managed this within a year of ttc which my midwife reminded me is completely normal. She pointed out that in the past, women wouldn't have even known about their chemicals and they're probably a lot more common than we realise (especially in those with the willpower not to test until after AF!)
The chances are everything will be fine but I know that will give you little comfort xx
