Hey guys, I'm just going to journal here I think. I'm guarded about telling people yet and I'm currently shielding as covid has gone nuts and I don't want to risk anything at all so I'm feeling a bit isolated.
I'm a healthy, active 41 year old.
I got pregnant unexpectedly in August, it was a shock but my partner and I were delighted. Unfortunately I miscarried a few weeks later, my HCG was always quite a bit short of doubling and I was expecting it.
Then after one period I fell straight on in October, got excited this time as it was planned so id been taking all the vitamins and really looking after myself. It was a chemical and I miscarried just 3 days later.
Found out on Boxing Day that I was pregnant again. I'm just numb. I'm now in the very certain position of either having a baby or a miscarriage... both are so wildly different that the limbo has me numb.
Because of the timing (Christmas holidays) and my recent history I haven't rushed to the docs, don't want to get my hopes up or tonnes of tests as I find it stressful...
My two original pregnancy tests were 2 days before my period was due and were both a very definite dark line. I'm now 5+1 (I tracked my period and ovulation).
For reassurance reasons I just did a clear blue digital, how many weeks test, and it came up 3+ (which is 5weeks plus re doctors measuring guides) which I'm hoping means that my HCG is testing high.
Anyway, I just wanted to put it out there and if anyone else is in a similar position I'm here to chat x
