2 Chemical pregnancy’s in a row

6 replies

Holsh9 · 03/05/2021 20:20

Hey so I am just after some success story’s after a chemical pregnancy’s.

I’m 34, have 2 children..and I’m TTC DC3.

March I took early pregnancy tests all which came back positive, but faint.. and then went on to bleed 3 days later and the test turn negative.

Same happened in April, but the lines did get darker so I felt a bit more confident.. but then I bled a day after my period was due.

I know testing early is the devil..but I also feel pregnant during this time to, it’s not just the tests that tell me that I am.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced 2 chemical pregnancy’s in a row, and went on to conceive and bean stick?

I can’t help but feel worried that something isn’t right with me, and maybe I need tests? Or maybe my age is against me? Trying not to be negative but it’s hard as I’ve never had this trouble before,

Please help

Keep testing early and if it happens again get in touch with Tommy's and ask if you could take part in the CERM trial.
I've had 3 consecutive CPs last year (after at TFMR) and then a 4th one on progesterone. I was asked to participate in the trial (before the 4th but agreed after) and I ended up testing positive for chronic Endometritis (not to be confused with endometriosis!!) which is a chronic bacterial infection in the lining of the womb which causes early miscarriage/implantation failure. 2 weeks of antibiotics can sort this out. I'm now 8 weeks pregnant.

That's really interesting how do I ask to take part?

I have had 1 mc and at least 2 chemicals possibly 3. I have 2 children and we are trying for #3. Got my first recurrent mc clinic apt on friday so il see what comes of that. I honestly 100% believe that the 1st mc I had has messed my hormones / preogesterone x

@Holsh9 I asked to be referred to Tommy's recurrent miscarriage clinic and Prof Quenby suggested it. But they've now also advertised it through different hospitals which might cut the normal waiting time for a an appointment at the RMC short, but I'm not sure. I'd get in touch with them directly and just ask (second link contains email address). Depending on where in the country you are they accept two miscarriages (Coventry).
