Success stories after chemical pregnancy?

[aw98989]

Hey all, wondering if any of you could kindly please share success stories after a chemical pregnancy?

My story so far:
I came off the pill June 2022 (wasn't planning to get pregnant I just was over hormonal birth control as I already have high testosterone and wanted to work on balancing hormones outside of BC) fell pregnant immediately and had an abortion at 8 weeks (my biggest regret but I do find solace that I truly wasn't financially able to have children at the time, my circumstances have now changed dramatically).

Started ttc December 2022, tracker ovulation and fell pregnant in January but this ended up in chemical 😢

Februarys cycle my ovulation was delayed by a week and was unsuccessful, AF came. I was disheartened as I read you're more fertile after a chemical. Now March cycle I am 6dpo! Won't test until I'm 16/17 dpo if I miss my period as can't go through heartbreak of chemical again.

Just wondering how long it took for others after a chemical pregnancy?

I'm 24, healthy and my hormones are pretty much in balance so hoping it happens soon but can't help but sometimes feel I'm being punished for my abortion😢

Would be grateful to hear success stories after a chemical 🙏🏼

I’m sorry you feel regretful but you did it for the right reasons for you ❤️
I had a CP last year and got pregnant first cycle trying afterwards (although technically it was the second cycle after, but we had a break for one cycle). But I also had one years ago and it took another 4 cycles to get pregnant, so there isn’t really a ‘normal’ amount of time. It’s the frustration and impatience that makes it seem like it’s taking forever!

This is maybe not a comfort but you’re not more fertile after a chemical, so don’t feel disheartened it didn’t happen next cycle. I have had a mmc and then a chemical, both are hard, so allow yourself to be sad but don’t add more pressure to yourself because you’ve heard you should be more fertile right now. Someone said to me after my miscarriage that I would “ovulate strong” whatever that means. There’s no science to support that. You either ovulate or you don’t.😀

My story so far… myself and my partner had a very ‘let’s see what happens attitude towards having a child’ in other words we used no contraception and have been sexually active for a year +
Because we were having no success with conceiving I assumed that there may be an issue with one of us and had kind of got myself in the mind frame that it wouldn’t happen… however last month (April) my period was four days late so I held off testing until then as I didn’t want to get excited and it turn out it was nothing. But it turned positive, I was over the moon and so excited … we found out on the Friday…
the Friday eve / night I was having awful cramps on my right sight and started spotting… just a small amount when I went to the toilet, this continued with the awful cramps and by the Saturday evening I was passing red blood which turned into clots so I knew the worst was happening 😢
chemical pregnancy was confirmed with repeated blood tests at the hospital.
I am struggling to get over it all I hate that I went from being so happy and excited to feeling so low like I had failed 😞
im in my next cycle and I have over thought any little twinge that I feel and I think I convinced myself from constantly googling that I would get pregnant this cycle… I’m dpo 13 Iv been testing since dpo 7 🫣all with a BFN In reality I already know that my period will be here in two days but I can’t stop myself overthink everything 😢
I feel like Iv spent the whole month just counting down the days in hope of getting a BFP.

I had a chemical in feb/march , had a mc the previous August. I didn't ovulate or get my period for 8 weeks after my chemical . However when I finally ovulated, we went for it and I'm 6 weeks pregnant now. I actually think the 8 weeks break did my body some good.

I'm so sorry, I've been where you are and so awfully low after it. You will get through it and it will happen for you both.

I had a chemical pregnancy in late Nov 2020, at same point i got covid. I then unfortunately had another chemical in January - I think my body wasn't ready after covid on nov/dec. i then got pregnant is April 2021 and baby born dec 2021 all healthy now a tear away toddler. I would suggest giving a couple of months for you body to get itself back to normal. Good luck

When I was trying for baby #1, I had two MCs. Kept trying on and off for two years.
Had a chemical and got pregnant the following month. Now I have a 16mow old :)
Trying for baby #2

No help yet but I’m on my first cycle post chemical and other than being a week late ovulating everything else seems normal so I’m hopeful it won’t have impacted anything longer term.

Congratulations wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy ❤️

Thank you for replying
I’m sorry to hear about chemical
wishing you lots of luck ttc 🍀

Thank you for replying
glad you had your successful pregnancy in the end and wishing you all the luck ttc again 🍀

Thank you for all your responses
I’m feeling a bit better hearing similar experiences… aside from partner I haven’t told anyone so sometimes it’s just letting it out that helps
i think I just need to be a bit patient… I am however a very impatient person 😂🫣

Sorry for your loss. CPs suck because they make you feel so stupid for getting excited about early BFPs. As with everything, it completely varies. When TTC DD2 I fell pregnant again 4 months later (she took 12 months in total) at 35. I had another early MC last year (not quite a CP, as the positives lasted another 3 weeks after the bleed) at 39, and 16 cycles on I've not had a whiff of anything, even another CP...Good luck, I hope you fall again quickly!

I found it helpful telling people. The first time I had a loss, I kept it in and it hurt me more.

Thank you so much for sharing your story… yes cp’s really do suck… it’s horrible to be so excited and it just to be ripped away.
im sorry you have been waiting so long after to get that BFP again wishing you all the luck!!! 🍀

I've had 2. First was September/October 2017 and we'd been ttc DC2 for nearly 3 years by that point. Got diagnosed with secondary infertility so was heartbroken that we'd lost one after so long and then got pregnant with DD in the January just as we were about to start undergoing tests etc to see what was happening. Second one was July/August last year. We'd been using condoms since birth of DS2 so one must've slipped through. We hadn't been planning on anymore (hence the condoms) so was a bit of a shock and then just as we were getting our heads round it, it ended :(.

I’m so sorry
it’s awful isn’t it ☹️
Especially when it happens unexpectedly…im finding it really hard that we had the happiness of it all and then the next day it just completely turned upside down. Before I could have the attitude of seeing what happened but now ‘we had it’ I’m finding it hard now we don’t…
I hope if you decide to try again it happens for you soon x

@JJxxxxx aww thank you but nope we are done now, 3 DC and 2 step DC and now DH has had a vasectomy. If the last one hadn't have ended as a chemical then it would've been a happy accident but there we go. As it happens we were done after 2 DC as it had taken 14 months with DS1 and nearly 3 years for DD but DS2 decided to be our little surprise when DD was 8 months old 🙈.

Hope it happens for you soon, it's hard to deal with when it feels like everyone around you is getting pregnant so easily
