Would really appreciate some advice post chemical pregnancy

I was only 4+1wks so barely pregnant at all really - if I hadn't POAS a week before, I probably wouldn't have twigged until the flow was so horrendous that it would have left me in no doubt that it wasn't a normal period... BUT I'm not really sure what to do now. I have a DD who's nearly 2 so its not like I haven't done the whole TTC/pg thing but this is completely new territory obviously.

From reading other threads, I should POAS when the bleeding stops just to be absolutely certain, although in my heart, I know its gone, because the HPT I did the day it started was fainter than previous ones & I now don't feel pg at all. I'll do it just to check before going to a party on Sat, & don't want to pickle anything other than my liver...

I suppose my questions are these;

  1. should I do anything about this? If so, what?
  2. can we start TTC again now?
  3. is there anything obvious that I can do to help the bean along next time? I'm starting on the pre-conception vits just to give my cells a helping hand & doing the usual TTC stuff, & realise that, if it was that simple, this board would be empty but, still...

Anyway, I know its daft to get upset by something I barely had in the first place & know many posters will have been through far worse, but if you could offer a little guidance/advice, I would really appreciate any help.

TIA

think at this easy stage and bleeding heavily then you probably don't need to do anything about it. but if it sets your mind at ease then make an appointment to chat to your Dr.
pretty sure you can start tic straight away as many posters have fallen preg straight after mc
and unfortunately no this was not your fault- nothing you did caused this.
just be kind to yourself

Thank you shemacin for responding. I didn't think I should do/could have done anything but wanted to check. Thanks for the reassurance.
