Miscarriage at 5 weeks 4 days :(

[rps2392]

Hi everyone,

My period was over a week late and I had three positive pregnancy tests at the weekend (one faint line on a Waitrose test and two clear blues stating 2-3 weeks). Going by my calculations of when my last period started I would be 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant today.

Only sadly last night I had some brown discharge and woke up today to blood which got heavier throughout the day. I then got a negative test at lunchtime today so I’m pretty sure it’s over just as quickly as it began. Not sure if this is a chemical pregnancy or a miscarriage but either way I feel sad and haven’t stopped crying all day.

I wasn’t TTC but the positive test made everything change for me and in just 36hrs of being pregnant I realised it’s what I want.

Does anyone have any similar experiences and have you gone on to have a healthy pregnancy afterwards? Thank you xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss lovely. I experienced something similar around 6 weeks or so a couple years ago and had a miscarriage. It broke my heart and hurt so much losing my baby even though it was so early on.
I conceived again straight away next cycle and now have a very energetic happy little toddler.
Wishing you all the luck in the world and hope you get your rainbow baby very soon. x

I had a miscarriage a year ago to the day, 21/12/20. Many more chemicals since. I’ve had ten losses now. No take of hope sorry but I am now trying IVF. Hope you get what you want someday soon.

I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks 3 weeks ago - and it is heartbreaking OP. It doesn’t matter at what stage your pregnancy was, whether it was planned or not - one you know you’re pregnant, you become attached to the idea of that baby.
It doesn’t get better, but sitting with your loss and moving forward does become more manageable.
Wishing you strength and good thoughts xx

@rps2392 sorry to hear ur news - it's so devastating when u think u are pg and then it's taken away so suddenly.

I had an early MC in October and conceived again straight away in my next cycle - unfortunately that pg ended with an early MC too.

I would say just try not to put too much pressure on yourself and your body will do it's thing. There are lots of positive stories of people falling pg in the few months after a loss.

Fingers crossed for u and sending lots of love x

I am so sorry for your loss x it is heartbreaking xxx

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks at the end of July, and conceived straight away the next cycle two/three weeks later. I am now nearly 22 weeks and everything is going great! Hope that helps x

I'm so sorry you have had to go through this. I had an early miscarriage very like you describe before falling pregnant with 2 year old DD and I still vividly remember the sick feeling of disappointment and devastation and fear that I wouldn't get pregnant again or have a baby.

6 months later I fell pregnant with DD - a very straightforward pregnancy although I was very anxious.

Since then I've actually had 3 more miscarriages (I'm 40) but now I'm 21 weeks pregnant and all looks great so far. I hope this helps. Take care or yourself, miscarriages are very difficult things to recover from

Sorry OP this happened to me 2 weeks ago. I feel fixated on getting pregnant straight away now. I had a normal healthy pregnancy with my 2 year old so naively didn't expect this to happen to me.

Same here.. Positive tests then negatives yesterday and today. No period yet. Was very early days but I'm still devastated. Had planned sober Xmas and New Year and just feel stupid now.

@rps2392 I was 5 weeks when I miscarried in October. I had two very strong positive pregnancy tests on 4th October including a digital, took a few more tests a few days later (still very dark lines).

Woke up on the 9th with spotting and period like pains and by late afternoon was bleeding heavily and my pregnancy tests were lighter and then became negative.

I was on cloud 9 for those 5 days and was completely heartbroken when it came to an end, so was my husband. I’m still coming to terms with it now months later which sometimes I think is silly because it was “only” a chemical pregnancy. For me it was the loss of a dream and the plans we had made in those 5 days coming to an end that I struggled with and still struggling with now.

I was hoping for a miracle this month but AF arrived at the weekend.

I know exactly how you are feeling, it’s devastating and you feel completely lost and it’s just so bloody unfair!

Good luck for the future
