Chemical pregnancies - your experiences

Hi

I’m just going through my second CP in two months. I’m starting to feel like it’s never going to happen for us and don’t know how I will cope with another. I think the worst part is when people say “at least it wasn’t a real baby” - has anybody had similar? I’ve been off work for 2 days because before I left I was just sat crying at my desk. I’m happier at home with my toddler as I’m distracted, but paranoid about work wondering why I can’t go to work. I daren’t leave the house but we have things planned this weekend that we’ve had planned for months. Am I meant to sit in home crying or can I go? How do you respond to comments such as the one I mentioned? Another is when people tell me at least I already have a child. This doesn’t make anything easier. I know I’m lucky to have a child, but the two losses are still heartbreaking. As soon as we starting to TTC, I planned everything in my head. As soon as you see the two lines on a test, you think about the months ahead and the due date. It’s such a crap thing to say.

I suffered a miscarriage in may, chemical pregnancy last month and was distraught.

everyone was telling me at least you’ve got two boys and I’m so grateful to have them, but to me any loss i felt could be a possible another little person. And because I know how much I love my two, just to think what could have been really upset me.
sorry if that doesn’t make any sense it’s hard to put into words!
i know a chemical pregnancy isn’t a baby, but it is to you until you know and that’s the hardest part.
Please be kind to yourself and if you feel like you can’t go this weekend don’t.
but if you can try not to think distract yourself with your little one.
