Don’t really know what I want from this post? Maybe to offload, I know there’s plenty of ladies out there that feel the same. I had a mmc last July and I’m now coming up to 7 weeks pg. for the past week I have ever so slightly spotted on tissue maybe every other day - not heavy at all and no pain. Last night woke up for the normal 2 am wee and again there it is - small amount bright pink. The minute I see it I’m feel like here we go again, just wait for the worse. I then went back to bed and didn’t sleep at all, tossing and turning. Every morning and throughout the day since I found out (sounds weied i know I hope nobody sees haha) but I brush against my boobs or press them just to make sure ether feel the same and are slightly tender. The anxiety is out of this world. Along with the constant battle in your head of wanting to be excited as this could be it or no let’s not get carried away as this could go the same way as last time. Oh it’s a joy! Up, down, up, down!

Hi @Babycakes1989. Congratulations! I'm sorry for your previous loss. I'm in pretty much the same position but my MC was a year ago. I'm 5+6 today and spotting every now and again. The anxiety is REAL!
I can't offer any comfort, but just wanted to offer a hand hold and say you're not alone.

Thank you glitter 😘 I appreciate it - it’s really comforting to know I’m not alone so thanks. I wish I could fast forward time - but in all honesty I think the whole of pregnancy is probably a worrying time but gets easier. Massive hugs to you & sorry to hear of your loss too my lovely xx

Hi @Babycakes1989 I think we posted on another thread together last week. I'm still repeating to myself what you posted about 'new egg, new sperm' this time! I've poas every day since the first test Blush My boobs hurt less the last couple of days so obviously I'm stressing about that! I totally get what you're saying! Just trying to take things one day at a time and reigning in my mind when it starts to wander. My family say I need more positive mental attitude but it's so hard!

@russiandwarf What you said about new sperm, new egg is really comforting and I keep thinking of that when I'm getting mega anxious.

When I first got this BFP, I was so excited as it has been a LONG time coming. However, as my last pregnancy did not end well, I find myself preparing for the worst and I'm trying to just not think about it too much and mentally prepare for this one not ending well too. I've always been the same; prepare for the worst and anything different is a bonus. It feels wrong to say that, but I just can't get too excited until I know there's a heartbeat after what happened last time.

I feel exactly the same!! Also I feel like my boobs aren’t hurting much as they did before and my lack of symptoms worry me daily. I really can’t get attached. Is it bad I’ve planned things to possible book/do if he worst happens so I have stuff to focus on/look forward to. Thank you all for your comments! And yes new egg new sperm is a great way of looking at it!! Xx
