3 losses and I might be pregnant again

[Chris2315]

Hi everyone 😊 So I think I might be pregnant but I’m too scared to take a test! I’ve had 3 early pregnancy losses in a row all in the space of 1 year 😢 I gave birth to my gorgeous baby boy in 2015 and hat pregnancy was fine, and then last August I got pregnant again. I had bleeding and pain and after lots of tests and scans, they found it was ectopic on my ovary and I had to have methotrexate - awful experience 😟 in January this year I got pregnant again, but had more spotting and they couldn’t find a baby. Then in March I got pregnant again, and had strong symptoms and no bleeding at all! Because of my ectopic I’m being seen by the EPU, and even though I thought it was ok my baby didn’t have a heartbeat and didn’t grow 😢 I had to induce a miscarriage and it was awful!

We started trying again 2 months ago and this month I was due on my period on the 5th. It’s now the 9th and I’m still not on! I haven’t got many symptoms, just needing a #2 a lot, some mood swings (might be normal) and more CM (mostly clear but a bit yellowy sometimes). I had a positive OPK on the 22nd of July which puts me on ‘luteal phase’ day 17 tomorrow which from what I’ve heard is unusual! This morning I did feel a bit lightheaded but not sure if it's me just reading into anything.

I want this so bad but I’m also scared 😟 I don’t want to be disappointed and not be pregnant, but then if I am I’m so scared it’s all going to go wrong again! Has anyone had their period 17 days after ovulation? I have a test ready but I don't want to get excited and have a negative, or find out to early and have it all go wrong again :(

I felt the same way after two missed miscarriages last year. I think I was five days late before I dared to test and even then I took the second in the pack to double check it was correct and bought a clearblue digital a few days later to further confirm. It took ages to sink in and I refused to even accept I was pregnant until I had the dating scan (the miscarriages were both discovered at the dating scans.) Everything is fine this time though and I’m 27+4 with a healthy boy .

I know it’s difficult but it’s best to put your mind at ease (ish) and know the answer either way. It does all sound as though it may be positive if your periods are usually regular. Good luck .

Thank u :) I took a ClearBlue test this morning and it was positive so I'm excited but really feeling a bit pessimistic. A few pregnancy symptoms so far but not a whole lot, but I am only 4 weeks 6 days so hoping it comes soon :)
