Positive tests…but worried due to previous miscarriages!!

[Nic08]

Hello everyone,

So I have had around 5/6 previous miscarriages so have been through this stage many times now but just wanted any reassurance I can get or just thought talking may help.

Me and my husband have done everything possible to conceive successfully, our issue not being falling pregnant but maintaining the pregnancy early on.

we have had the fading pregnancy tests numerous times early on mostly before 6 weeks and now we have tried again thinking it may take us a while, even with IVF.

This time I will attach a picture after 2 digital tests and the one below which is at 5weeks 1 day roughly just wondered if people agree this is a good sign of things to come and for the most part should we just stop the testing now as I think after the bad history it only creates anxiety?

Just hoping some people may have had similar issues in the past and gone onto have healthy children.

Thanks

Hi OP! Didn't want to read and run!! Sorry to hear about your MCs but congrats on this positive result. I had one MC and my subsequent pregnancy, I was full of anxiety in case it happened again. My feeling would be to stop testing now. You've got a positive result (yay!) currently, wait now for the process with the scans, MWs etc. otherwise, I think you'll be on pins waiting to test every few days

will keep you in my prayers! Good luck OP. Keep us posted xxx

Thanks so much for replying!!

yeah your right about testing I think I’m always conscious of not feeling symptoms and things but just going to have to wait and see it’s out of my hands now.

thanks again will keep you posted.

Nic08,
That test is looking nice and strong so I just wanted to drop you a note to wish the every success with this pregnancy, its damn hard after losses, I know but it really is good and strong so far so u have everything crossed for you and hubby x

Thank you yes it’s definitely the strongest I’ve ever had but who knows, going for the scan in 5 days so we will soon know.

Can’t do much now I keep worrying about my lack of pregnancy symptoms but it’s still only 5 weeks 2 days so early I know.

Trying not to stress.
Thanks

Oh bless you, I know that fading test feeling. Well. I hope you get a good result from your scan and will be thinking of you. I know that it would be an understatement for me to say I know you will be anxious but not too long to wait. So hoping this one will be a sticky bean for you x

That test is looking really strong. So sorry to hear about your losses. If you are anything like me the more you have the more it takes to come back from mentally and ever believe there might ever have be a positive ending. I had 9 miscarriages that were confirmed pregnancies and went on to have the most amazing miracle DD who is currently in 6th form studying for her A Levels! Our mantra used to be "We don't need a miracle we just need it to go our way". Have faith and stay strong. Easier said than done I know but at this moment in time you are pregnant and this could well be your time. Good luck!
