Pregnancy after loss

I had a miscarriage in June following our first round of letrozole at 5w+4. We’ve just found out we’re pregnant again following our second round of letrozole. I feel like I’m spiralling into an incredibly anxious state.

I’ve had cramps on and off for the last week but today I’ve had some lower backache which is unsettling me. Is this common? I had this just before I started heavily bleeding last time - I started spotting a week before.

I’m finding myself checking the toilet paper and obsessing over my line progression as I watched that fade last time. My fiancé has finally hidden the pregnancy tests from me which has helped as I can’t obsessively keep taking them but I’m still overthinking every cramp and pain.

Any advice from those who’ve been through similar and how you coped would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I can completely sympathise with all of this! We lost 2 last year and I was obsessively checking toilet paper all day long and analysing every cramp/pain. Fast forward to now I’m 21 weeks pregnant and have had 1 million cramps/twinges/pains and everything is fine so far.
pregnancy after loss makes you crazy! All sorts of aches are definitely common, try not to panic. The only way I’ve coped is reassurance scans and reminding myself that I cannot change the outcome. Hang in there x

Thank you. I started with terrible backache yesterday afternoon and then had a little bit of light pink spotting just after I posted this. This is what happened last time so I just feel like I’m going to wake up tomorrow and it will all be over. X

I had bright red bleeding during this pregnancy between week 6 and 7 and all was still good. Remember every pregnancy you’ll have is a seperate event xx
