TWW after Chemical - anyone else?

[rosied31]

I'm 4dpo after having a chemical/early miscarriage last month. The TWW crazies are really setting in, is anyone else in the same boat 😣? So desperate for some good news after such a tough time of TTC the last few months. Baby dust to all x

Hey @SnookyPook hoping everything went well for you last week 💛 I had my blood HCG done yesterday at 4w6d (according to Fertility Friend app) and it came back at 829, feeling so unbearably anxious that this is going to be the start of a miscarriage as I keep seeing other people on mumsnet with results over 1000 at this stage. Going back for another test tomorrow to see if it’s doubled but not feeling particularly hopeful given I have basically no symptoms anymore 😢

@rosied31 thank you lovely. Unfortunately I'm out. My HCG remained low and wasn't doubling (apart from one random result). They were investigating for ectopic but had a scan Monday and more bloods which suggest, to their best guess, it's not ectopic but definitely not viable. Anyway, I started bleeding that evening. Was like my body knew there was no more hope. 😌 That's three in a row for me now so getting referred to fertility which at least feels proactive. It's been a tough few days - not least because Monday was also my original due date from my MMC in April 😌

829 is on the lower side but still within normal range I believe. Will keep everything crossed for you. Mine never got that high even at 6+4. Do let me know how you get on if you want to. Xx

@SnookyPook I'm so so sorry that this was the final outcome :( that's absolutely horrible and must have taken such a toll on you having to wait so long to be told that. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to grieve this loss. Sending big hugs <3 My blood test is at 11am so I'll know by the end of today, I'm absolutely sick to my stomach with anxiety 😔

@rosied31 thinking of you - really hope it's good news 🙏🏻

Thanks so much @SnookyPook - I just had my results back and they're 1688 so they're pretty much bang on double in 48 hours with a bit extra, really relieved. I also have irregular cycles and ovulated cd 18 this month so I don't think I'm actually fully 5 weeks yet. The EPU said it all looks really good for now, really relieved. Obviously so much could happen between now and my first early reassurance scan but this has taken a huge weight off my shoulders for the time being. I absolutely recommend pushing for a progesterone prescription as that and 75mg aspirin are the only things I've done differently this month. Sending you lots of positive vibes, your rainbow baby will 100% come xxxx

@SnookyPook so sorry to hear that ! Really hope you are ok and have got lots of support xxx

@rosied31 that's great news! Things are looking positive for you and hopefully you can relax a bit now. How did you get the progesterone ? And how did you know if your progesterone is low. I'm worried about it Cus my first pregnancy was IVF and was also on progesterone and clexane injections and feel like I could need it again. But could be over thinking it x

@rosied31 great news! So happy to hear that. Absolutely get you feeling nervous still but take the wins! For now, for today, everything is ok ❤️😊
