I'm really struggling to understand how I should feel. I think because I seen a line and it was there and it was a thing then ur just wasnt a few days later.
Has anyone felt the same? I feel like I'm about to breakdown but don't know if I gave that right

When I had a chemical I was absolutely heartbroken, there’s no right or wrong way to feel, I found myself minimising my pain because I was only pregnant ‘for a few days’ but it was real and you’ve a right to feel however you need to. It’ll be ok eventually, with time. Sorry for your loss. Flowers

Thank you for your reply and so sorry you've experienced the same. It's just really sad that as soon as you see that line you think everything is about to change and then it does but bit how you expect

I know. It was my first experience of pregnancy and I just thought I was going to have a baby, and then I started bleeding. In a way it opened my eyes to the reality of pregnancy and when I spoke to people eventually it was a lot of ‘me too’ so it made me realise just how frequently it does happen.
I’m pregnant again now - only 6+3 so very very early and quite scarred by what happened before but trying to be positive.
What you’re feeling is totally normal, take all of the time that you need. X

It really is awful and I hate the term chemical pregnancy as well...
I had it with my first pregnancy and I remember being so excited to see a line and literally a day later I started bleeding. I was devastated.
People seem to put it down and say it happens all the time but it doesn't make it any less upsetting.
Sending love Thanks

I had a chemical last month, it's heartbreaking. I felt totally horrendous, broke down the day i started bleeding. 2 days later I felt much better and positive for TTC the next cycle. I'm now on CD28 (AF due any time) and praying for a BFP that sticks this month. It's sadly all too common but no-one ever ever talks about this when they announce their pregnant! It's all happy oh we didn't take long we weren't even trying stories.

Look after yourself and remember it's okay to not be okay. I'll keep you posted what happens with me, hopefully some good news will help you feel positive for the next cycle xx

Sadly AF arrived me for so no luck after chemica l- I have a very short luteal phase though which is what is causing me to struggle and have chemicals. I have heard loads of ladies go on and get a BFP the cycle after a MC or chemical.

Sending loads of luck your way and hope you feel better soon x

I had one before my current pregnancy. I had a hunch so took a test a couple of days before my period was due then lost it a week later. I didn’t really feel super upset, I think it was because I didn’t have enough chance to bond in any way with the pregnancy. I had two missed miscarriages discovered at the 12 week scan and they hit me a lot harder.

I had a CP and was absolutely devastated, we both were. I fell pregnant straight away and have found the anxiety hard to deal with at times, 16 weeks and still worry constantly but just hoping everything continues ok.
Look after yourself and wishing you luck for next time Flowers

@Bby20 sorry to hear you went through this but glad you are pregnant again. May I please ask you whether you waited for your period to come before trying again? I know they say to wait until you've had one period but it's so hard and it's the only thing that gives me hope to go again x

No I didn't, my doctor said we didn't need to but said it would be easier to work out dates if I did.
I found out I was pregnant again 4 weeks after my CP which I couldn't believe.
Good luck.
