I'm a bit of a lurker here but never post. I need some hand holding atm. This may be a bit long so i'll apologise in advance 'Sorry'

I have two ds's atm before i conceived ds1 i had a mc at 15weeks. It was horrendous and i put it down to being my first pregnancy and maybe my body didnt know what to do. Anyway fast forward 4 years in October last year i fell pregnant and was overjoyed (we were trying) it was short lived i mc at 8 weeks.

I got pregnant again in December but was so sure id loose it because i had spotting when my period was due that i completely and stupidly ignored it. I carried it till Feb then lost it over a whole month and it was hellish. I developed an infection and had to tell someone, go for a scan etc. I got a scan the beginning of march and they could see a 6 week sac with a heartbeat!!!! I'd gotten pregnant again! God knows how!!!Confused I lost this baby at the end of March. I think it may have been the anti biotics i was on for my infection.

Anyway here is my problem im late again by 2 days. Im never late. I'm crapping myself. Mainly because i'm gonna look like a complete idiot getting pregnant again so soon after all the palava of before. And of course because i just can not handle another loss. Its so painful physically and emotionally. Sad

Oh spongesrlovely this is one of the most agonising situations.You don't want to test because a -ve will be gutting and a +ve will put back on the merry-go-round of emotion.Every twinge is like "oh is this my period" and every time you go to the loo and ther's no blood is a huge relief. Painful as it is you know what will be will be, and I'm not being flippant or spiteful,I've been there.
When I did eventually get pg with DD after 2 close early MC I didn't test until I was 8 weeks and every day was agony til I got the blue line,then the scan.
Only you know if you want to do the test now.I think I put mine off because I was scared of the truth( BTW pg planned,folic acid,don't smoke/drink).
