BFP after MC due June 2020.. join me?

Following MC we have been TTC since May 2019. This month I got my BFP... Had a feeling I had caught this time, waited for AF, 4 days late and the BFP was there.

Now, I want to feel excited, optimistic, pleased... even just a smile. I can't feel anything other then utter panic, dread and a constant need to check for bleeding.
Symptoms so far include; discharge, naussea, abdominal cramps, lower back cramps and frequent need to pee.

Similar to the MC last time I have some vaginal/pelvic pressure.

Booked a 7 week reassurance scan a week on Monday. I just feel so obsessed with symptoms and twinges, I can't focus on anything else.

Im a teacher and broke up for half term for two weeks, thankfully!

Just wondered if there any other less than pleased anxious BFPs out there?

Hi hun! Sorry about your previous MC and congratulations on your BFP! Im in a similar boat. Started trying at new year and have had 3 early miscarriages in that time. Found out we are pregnant again two days ago 😊 ringing midwife tomorrow and hoping i will also be able to have an early reassurance scan. Hope you are well xx

Hi OP, mind if I join? I'm sorry to hear about your MC.
I've had a MC in July at 6 weeks, got my BFP couple weeks ago (I'm 6 weeks today, due on 14th June 2020). And I am absolutely terrified. Every twinge, cramp etc is making me nervous and almost certain I'll start bleeding again. I overthinking symptoms and lack of them. I wish I could just sleep for next 6 weeks.

Hi everyone I am so glad you have a thread going on this
I had my first pregnancy in June and a MMC in July we found out last week we are pregnant I see my midwife Friday for Blood work
I am just petrified... trying to be happy and calm but I am scared - trying ti stay positive and live in the moment have faith and trust my body -- but still scared... we over think everything
my symptoms this time are COMPLETELY different
First pregnany - sore boobs I couldn't even sleep nausea all the time, cramping a lot! so much I thought it was over,

my HCG was high and progesterone slightly low had a scan a 6 week HB -- then week * no HB

This time- no sore boobs (once in a while) acid in stomach indigestion, bowels issues, tired that's it...

How do you not be scared.....

akg89 · 24/10/2019 22:07

Hi all!
Sorry I've been trying hard to distract myself.
Sorry and congrats at the same time to you all! Such a worrying time!!
I've spent an entire week running backwards and forwards to the loo checking for any bad signs... Just can't shake the feeling!
Fingers crossed our early scan on Sunday will reassure us. Praying for a heartbeat then get through to 12 week scan.
My main symptoms are hunger, sore boobs and mood swings... lucky DP! 😂
Hope you're all well!

Hi OP. Hope you don't mind me joining too x October 6th last year I suffered an absoloutely horrific MC and it devestated us. 12th October this year we got a BFP! I am terrified. We threw ourselves into planning our wedding for August 2020 but have agreed if all scans etc go okay we will postpone for 12months. Having to keep this a secret from DS7 and DD4 as MC last year was unbearable for them. Sending positive vibes and love xx

I’d like the join too, had a MC in June at 5.5 weeks, now 5 weeks pregnant again, due 24th of June.

I have a scan next week with my fertility doctor to see if everything is going ok.

I’m so paranoid I’m going to lose it again, keep expecting to see blood every time I go to the toilet.

Queenlucy02 · 25/10/2019 13:27

@akg89 did you ask for an early scan? I rang my midwife to get an appointment and she didnt say anything about early scan or early appointment. She did tell me not to cancel my fertility appointment in a couple of weeks so im hoping they will do a scan 🤞 due around 23rd June. Hope your okay 😊 let us know how scan goes on sunday! Xx

GracieK · 25/10/2019 15:05

Hi all! And congrats!!!
So glad to find out I am not alone. I got my bfp last week. Can't believe it as things have been very irregular since my MMC at 10 weeks in July.

I've been having pretty bad period like cramps for a few days and finding it impossible to get excited. Ridiculous I know! My head knows the stats are in our favour but I can't stop checking my pants every 5 minutes. Defo going crazy.

@Montii congrats on your bfp!! I am also due 24th June (I think - cycles have been all kinds of messed upConfused). Fingers crossed for your scan!

Love and positive thoughts to you all xxx

SoonToBeMrs91 · 25/10/2019 15:30

Hi guys, congrats to all BFPs here. I've started spotting last night with some pain today. Got myself to GP this morning and got a scan booked for Tuesday (the earliest they had) I'm pretty sure I'm going through MC again, and we're both preparing for the worst with my husband. I hope we are wrong about it being a MC again.

Stee1 · 25/10/2019 15:33

Hi all got my bfp last Thursday after 2 n half years trying after our ectopic we had given up then was 5 days late have an early scan Tuesday to make sure baby in right place this time..

rampantrose · 25/10/2019 16:17

@SoonToBeMrs91 sending massive positive thoughts and love your way and truly hope things work out for you 🤞❤️ I lost a large clump of blood early on but so far nothing else 🤞
Hopefully it's just little one bedding in nice and safely xx

Montii · 25/10/2019 20:10

@SoonToBeMrs91 sending positive thoughts also 💗💗💗 hope you are ok

SoonToBeMrs91 · 25/10/2019 20:16

Thank you guys for all the positive thoughts and vibes. I'm afraid it was a MC again. I gushed out blood earlier, so what little hope I had is gone. I'm still going to Tuesday scan to make sure all of it passed. I'm pretty down right now, and in quite a lot of pain. But nothing can be done, however unhelpful that feels.

Montii · 25/10/2019 20:39

@SoonToBeMrs91 I’m so sorry to read that. I hope you have a good support network around you 💙💗 and I hope you get your 🌈 baby soon

rampantrose · 26/10/2019 13:57

I'm so sorry to read that @SoonToBeMrs91 I was truly keeping everything crossed for you. My very first midwife said something to me the other day that has really stuck with me. Our bodies are much more clever than we think. You cannot shake a a healthy apple from a tree. I pray you get your beautiful rainbow baby soon 💐🌈

Hi all,
I became pregnant though IVF in June and then had a miscarriage soon after. Second IVF also managed to get pregnant again-however I had a big bleed last week and my HCG wasn’t rising quickly but miraculously at a scan at the EPU last Friday the baby was measuring on track and heartbeat correct. I’m still extremely cautious with the big bleed having happened -got my viability scan at my fertility clinic this Friday so hoping things have developed.

@SoonToBeMrs91 I really hope your scan is reassuring -I don’t want to give you false hope but my bleed was heavy -red and period like and needed a few pads. It lasted about 6 hours and I spotted old blood for 5 days or so. The baby was still there. Good luck. Could you not go into a walk in early preg unit tomorrow rather than wait till Tuesday?

summertimehere · 28/10/2019 13:39

@mouse1234567 can I ask what caused the bleeding? @SoonToBeMrs91 so sorry I’m exactly same as you some bleeding Friday pains and cramps at weekend not getting scanned to tomorrow the waiting is horrible I have history of recurrent miscarriage so know not good and don’t feel pregnant

SoonToBeMrs91 · 29/10/2019 12:38

Just came out from scan and they couldn't find anything, as we expected it was a MC. Just having my bloods done cause urine came back still positive. Hopefully it will be a complete MC so we dont need to have any intervention. Back to TTC for us it seems.

Montii · 30/10/2019 20:08

@SoonToBeMrs91 really sorry to read that, hope you are doing ok 💙

I had my scan yesterday, it wasn’t positive or negative news I guess. They could see a sack but nothing in it, the doctor said from the measurements of the sack he’d say it looked more like 5+3 rather than 6 weeks so wants to scan me again next Tuesday to see if I am maybe a few days behind where I thought I was.

Has anyone had anything similar? Trying to stay positive and not stress out about it too much.

Stee1 · 30/10/2019 21:23

Monti I had my scan yesterday thought I was 6+2 but could only see a sac so only dated me around 5 weeks I have to go back in 2 weeks if nothing happens before that hoping good news for us x

Montii · 31/10/2019 05:16

@Stee1fingers crossed for both of us. Hopefully the rest of this week and weekend goes quickly.

I’m so nervous 😥

akg89 · 31/10/2019 20:12

Hi all.
So sorry to hear the news of MC sending love.

We paid for private early reassurance scan as my anxiety is ridiculous so it was money well spent.

We had exactly the same the scan revealed the sack and a tiny white cell. So we are back this Sunday for second scan to hopefully have progressed to heart beat. Then I'll calm down and wait for 12 week scan.

It's so reassuring to hear your stories. A much needed hand hold for us as we go through this.

I'm going to try and be more active. I love reading through mum's net and have been a lurker for a while. Thing is I get to bed with my iPad as I usually do and fall asleep during the first thread!

Sending love and well wishes to you all xx

@akg89 bet you cant wait for for second scan sunday.
I was speaking to my friend about my fertility appointment (looking to see why i have had 3 MC) and she said are you sure they will scan you now your pregnant? So thats got me thinking maybe they wont! Surely if they was going to do a scan anyways to check ovaries then they can do the scan to check baby? Or am i just wishful thinking? Suppose will find out on Tuesday at the appointment, will be 7 weeks then :)
Hope everyones doing good :) xx

akg89 · 01/11/2019 14:15

Surely they will scan you any way to check it is a viable pregnancy?

Yes I am so excited. We've been away with friends this week which has really helped me to stop obsessing. So all in all feeling alot better about the whole thing.

Hope you're all well.
