I’m scared to test again

I had a MC at 6+4 in November, I’d never felt that things were quite right. I didn’t test positive until 5 days after AF was due and the line was pretty faint and never increased.

This time I felt as if I just knew I was pregnant and did a test at 10dpo which was a clear positive and confirmed with a FRER. I then did a test the day later and although it was still positive it was noticeably lighter. I got myself quite upset and convinced that I was having a CP and every cramp and twinge was the beginning of things going wrong.

I agreed with DP not to test again until AF would have been due to get a better idea, and that’s today. I’ve been having increased symptoms over the last week but I’m just still so scared every morning to go to the bathroom (tmi but I’ve had increased discharge so I often wake up feeling damp and am convinced AF has started), I know I need to test again at some point to know for sure what’s going on, but I’m scared that it will just be over as soon as it’s began like last time.

Sorry for the self pity, but just wanted to get it out there.

I have nothing to say to help; I can understand it must be scary after a loss - lots of love x

Looks like I shouldn’t have worried, AF is starting.

Bless you, I know I’d feel exactly the same. The current situation doesn’t help as it’s not like you can really do much to take your mind off it.

I think I’d probably wait and if AF didn’t show up today, I’d take a test in the morning.

You could start raking some baby aspirin if you’re worried too? I’m not a Dr so obviously don’t blindly take that as advice you must heed, but might be worth doing some research today, I have and there does seem to be a link to successful pregnancies after MC or chemicals for some that take it.

Chin up, it might be all okay yet!

I did a test after I started bleeding and it’s totally negative. Im going to call my GP today and ask about baby aspirin. I thought about taking it this time but read conflicting things. My mum had hughes’ syndrome which resulted in losses so I’m going to ask if they can possibly test for that too. I’m not sure if they’ll do anything yet but hopefully I’ll at least get an answer on the aspirin and it’s on record if I need any further help.
