M/C - reassurance please...

[Ilovebeingamummy]

I have dd 3.4yrs who took 12mths to conceive after coming off pill, ds who took 2 cycles postbreastfeeding to conceive and was naive enough to think babymaking wa pretty much plain sailing for us.

After a tentative bfp (very faint when af 1 week late) I started bleeding on fri and it hasn't stopped since (3days).

I suppose I am now petrified of having ongoing problems ttc and of this happening again.

Just wanting reassurance really that this can happen as a one off after straightforward pregnancies and can be followed by another straightforward pregnancy.

I know from these boards that so many people have been through so much, and what I am experiencing is relatively common and fairly minor, but I am scared and upset and trying to put a brave face on in RL.

I don;t know whetehr I need to get scan to confirm, or really have any idea of what the right things to do are...

Thanks x

I just wanted to reassure you. I had two normal pregnancies which produced ds1 and dd this was followed by a miscarriage that caught me by surprise. But a month later I was pregnant again and the result is ds2 who is now 5 months old. I wont say it was easy, I spent the first 14 weeks of the last pregnancy convinced it was a missed m/c or something like that, especially as I had alot of pain in the early days, but it was ok.

Have you got negative tests now? If so then you don't really need a scan, with an early miscarriage they would just look for the hcg levels decreasing as nothing would be seen on a scan. However if you are still getting positive tests then you should go see a doc.

I hope it helps knowing that you are not alone in experiencing this, and that your feelings of being scared and upset are perfectly natural.

Thank you rainbowdays. I saw GP today who did negative test and as my bfp was so faint I am looking at it as a chemical pregnancy, knowing that with such low hcg levels implantation must have never properly happened, so its easier to accept. I hope I will get pregnant as quickly as you did and have a healthy baby soon. Thanks again x
