I can tell I'm not pregnant anymore

Little bit of background...
Currently 7 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. Iv had 3 miscarriages in the last year plus 4 in past years. Last time I miscarried I just knew. I went with my gut. This time I have been feeling really sick, my boobs have been sore and iv been that but more tired. Woke up this morning and nothing. I feel fine. I just know in my gut that the baby isn't growing now. I'm tempted to go and get another clear blue to see if it still says 3+ weeks but I don't know if that will give me an answer. I just can't wait around for the next 5 weeks until dating scan to see if baby is still there or not

So sorry to hear about your previous losses @loutyre. 7 weeks is just about the time when my tiredness and cramping began to subside a little in both my successful pregnancies (the ones I lost, conversely, I didn't notice any lack of symptoms until I began to bleed heavily). I'd speak to your GP or midwife and ask for a referral to EPAU, they should be able to do a TV scan and let you know if all is well. Fingers crossed for you Thanks

My symptoms used to disappear sometimes when I was pregnant. So sorry about your previous losses

blackcatclocks · 28/05/2019 08:42

Sorry for your losses Thanks

Could you ask the EPU for an early scan given your history x

flumpybear · 28/05/2019 08:46

Ask for a reassurance scan, I'm surprised they haven't offered considering your history

FWIW I had both too, not feeling pregnant and convinced myself the foetus has stopped growing but it was fine so try to keep positive (stupid to say I know ... )

Good luck 💕

Got a reassurance scan booked for next Tuesday x

I'm sorry you're feeling worried and for your previous losses.

What I would say is that testing again won't give you a definite answer. My tests continued to show positive (and 3+ weeks) when the pregnancy wasn't progressing, I had a missed miscarriage, but the tests gave me false reassurance.

I hope the scan goes well next week Flowers

Just go with your gut with the scan. Hopefully you’re wrong and the baby’s fine!

60secondfacetimer · 28/05/2019 12:13

My symptoms came and went in the early stages too, try not to worry. Have you had any bleeding or cramping?

AwkwardAsAllGetout · 28/05/2019 12:19

This happened to me last year. Too many losses and convinced it had gone wrong again as all my symptoms disappeared overnight. I’m now cuddling my 6 week old dd. I’m keeping everything crossed for you x I hope you have some emotional support, I hadn’t realised just how difficult pregnancy after losses would be. I didnt relax til she was here safely and I spent the whole pregnancy convinced something would go wrong. I’m surprised they’re making you wait a whole week for a scan, they were very good at seeing me fairly quickly. Have you booked in yet? Might be worth seeing if your midwife can get a sooner appointment. That or your GP? I went to mine in very early pregnancy as I was having bleeding and was so worried and they called and get me in that day, based on my history and the awful emotional state I was in.

russiandwarf · 28/05/2019 12:30

I'm so sorry for your losses Thanks I had 3 miscarriages before this pregnancy, 2 were missed miscarriages so I know how awful it is. I am still sitting with my fingers crossed now at 21 weeks. I just wanted to say though that between 7 and 13 weeks specifically I had days where all my symptoms disappeared and I was sure something had gone wrong. I suffered terrible constant nausea and sometimes even that disappeared. I was beside myself at some points. I know it's excruciating waiting for a scan - I had 2 early private scans as no reassurance scans were offered to me. I'm glad they have offered you one. Hang in there. Another posted told me "new sperm, new egg" and I just try to focus on that and hope for the best. Keeping everything crossed for you x

All the best x

Loutyre I had a heavy bleed with this pregnancy at 6 weeks, lasted days. I told my partner and family I had lost the baby and began the process of moving on (I have had multiple losses also so I know it’s hard), found out weeks later actually I was still pregnant, I only went for a scan because I was still bleeding and worried. Good luck x

Nameusernameuser · 04/06/2019 11:24

Good luck OP, look after yourself Flowers
