TTC after chemical pregnancy

[LucyCL]

I had a MC this Jan , 6 weeks and 1 day. Then I had a CP last Tuesday, 4 weeks and 6 days. I finally stopped bleeding today. Two pregnancies and two MCs so far.

I would like to know what your ttc experiences were like after CP. I admit I felt so lost when I saw the line getting fainter and I have been feeling very low and anxious for the last 7 days. However it is not healthy and it is time to be positive! So, I will be trying again this month. That is why I decided to start this thread.

9dpo with like third morning urine. almost didnt do it because i know it's not too sensitive but yay!

this look and sounds good. your LH strip is confusing HCG with LH! yay!

i am thinking of referring myself sooner than i anticipated only because im trying to be positive

My EDD is 20/4/25. It seems like forever… I am trying to get through it day by day , telling myself that I have done well at the end of each day. As long as I am not bleeding, it is fine.

When will you self refer ? I am following you !

🥹

ah i really don't know! i might see how i go...and do another weeks digital next week at 5 weeks?

If I get past the 5 week mark , I will self refer.

I did. Well, I talked to EPU and they did it for me - they said there was no reason to wait, but being in the system was good.

I self-referred at 4+2 and by 4+4, my booking in and first midwife appointments were booked. I'll be 8 & 9 weeks for those, and my 12-week scan will be booked at those.

I referred early last time and then had a CP and had to email them to say that I was no longer pregnant, but they were lovely and that situation was always going to suck. It's very much personal preference, though!

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and it is nice to have the appointments in the calendar to optimistically look forward to.

Today is 4 weeks and 3 days for me. I really do want to look forward to something positive so I am doing it today. It will make me less anxious.

@YouveGotAFastCar that's good to know! that gives me faith

@LucyCL do it! i'm 3w6d so will be 4w tomorrow...im still hesitant but i may do it at the weekend or maybe tomorrow or maybe the day after that...or after that!

mine were pretty quick in booking me in last time with a midwife appointment but also a bit rubbish when i told them my concerns (they have a nifty little chat you can message on but it's dangerous because i was messaging them everyday 😂)

@GreenPickle @YouveGotAFastCar
I have done it. I am also planing to do an early private scan when I am 6.5/7 weeks. It is better to check earlier than being sorry. It will also help with the anxiety. But hey, as long as my RHR and BBT still stay elevated and I am not bleeding, I am happy. I will think like this every day.

yay good for you!

yes, i want to get one when im 7ish as im worried about it being transvaginal (think they do this if it's too early?). i know it's unlikely something will happen but im super worried.

i'll probably also do a gender scan instead of waiting because im too impatient...i think i'll have a boy. what do you guys think you'll have?

secretly hoping for twins haha

we just have to get through today :) im going to self-refer on friday

Yes, I will also do a gender scan at 12/13 weeks if everything goes well. To be honest, you are more likely to have twins and I am crossing fingers for you! ❤We have to be positive for ourselves and each other! I also get super anxious whenever I feel something wet down there. I can’t help it.😞I have to go to the toilet every time to see if it is blood.

I am hoping to have a girl so I could name her after my granny. A boy would also be perfect! No matter what gender, I’d be very happy to have a baby who is alive and healthy at the end of this pregnancy journey!

@LucyCL we got this, your body knows what to do now! i really feel like these are sticky beans for all of us ❤️ try and not think about it, so much easier said than done. Last BFP, I wasted so much toilet roll just to check. Just remember, there's nothing you can do (not trying to be blunt!) and we just have to take each day as it comes 😃

i love that! i agree that a happy and healthy pregnancy is all that matters 💕

i've noticed my sense of smell has gone crazy (same with last pregnancy) and everything smells FOUL and also finding it harder to breath.

Lovely to see all these BFPs on here 🥹🥹 I can't remember who I have and haven't congratulated so congrats to all!

You will too! I am thinking of you and @Carportforme ! 💖

This is the stage when I wonder if having fewer symptoms is good or not. Of course, every one is different so I can never compare myself to others. I have no idea when I will get more symptoms.
I hope you will feel better ! It also sucks when everything smells terrible because you still have to eat.

I’m so happy to hear of all of these BFPs and hoping everyone has a smooth journey from this point forward. I’m 7w3d and my sickness is definitely ramping up, I’ve come home from work and got straight into bed! We’ve booked a scan for Saturday, feel super anxious about it already xx

Sorry, bit late to the party but congratulations! Realky happy for you xxx

@LucyCL how are you doing today?

I did another e@h and it was probably the same darkness as my darkest one last pregnancy which is good as i'm only 10dpo and last test i did previously was either 14/16dpo! but of course, i am still anxious. BUT i am already feeling better this time around

I'm still hesitant to self-refer until next week. my period was actually due for this sunday so i may wait until monday where i'll be 4+6! ahh, im just not sure

@CJ2021 @GreenPickle My RHR has been gradually increasing and CBT remained elevated this morning. There are fluctuations in Mira chart which is normal and also it is not used to monitor pregnancy which I totally understand and will not let the fluctuations affect my mood. Line progression makes me worried sometimes but I know that I also shall not take line progression seriously. Easy at home hcg strips are also not designed to monitor pregnancy. I feel anxious when I wake up every morning because I am approaching towards 15 dpo. Then on 17 dpo I had a CP last time. This week is going to be tough for me. I also constant check my heart rate and RHR throughout the day. At the same time, whenever I start to feel anxious, I have to take 3 deep breaths to calm myself down. Before I go to bed , I say this to myself “ I thank my heart and body to keep me and the poppyseed alive and and I did well today”.
I hope everything goes well for you ! ❤

@LucyCL soo true about the hcg strips - they'll never tell us the amount of HCG in our system. it's so easy to get carried away. I got my husband to hide the rest this morning and will do one probably on Friday and then some point next week.

i've also just referred myself - didnt want to hang around thinking something bad will happen, wanted to manifest positivity! have yours been in contact yet? they were super quick for me last time!

How is everyone doing? My scan is now tomorrow after work and my booking appt next Tuesday 😱 Anxiety is another level. Can’t really believe I’ve got to this stage and I just can’t seem to imagine anything other than bad news tomorrow xx

No, I am still waiting. Have you heard from
them yet ? X
