Pregnant after loss thread- November 2021

[Sallyjo27]

Hi all, I’m currently 4 weeks pregnant after 4 previous miscarriages. I don’t really have any symptoms other than boobs a bit sore and nipples sensitive. I’m on clexane injections, cyclogest and aspirin as all the tests they’ve run have found nothing wrong. Is anyone else due in November after loss? I thought it would be a nice idea to have a thread where we can all chat and share our journeys x

@KG1145

Also I'm quite concerned that I don't have any symptoms yet... I'm tired and have occasionally sore boobs but no sickness and with my first i had a lot of sickness, although can't remember when it started tbh.

I'm essentially just constantly trying to talk myself down from panic which I'm sure you ladies will understand x

I am not having any symptoms yet either but don't think I usually do until 5+ weeks.... with previous losses I have had very sore boobs week before period due and have continued to ache until I have lost so hoping no symptoms this time is a good sign 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Sorry to hear about your losses too. Are you planning an early scan at all? I was thinking about 7.5 weeks.

My GP has been fantastic and I've been in for hcg bloods since 12dpo and so far tripling every 48hours but she's booking me in for a scan once I get to week 7 for reassurance. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞Have you had one yet? Xx

@sallyjo27 hi hun and everyone. Mat I join please. Just got my bfp at 11 days which was yesterday. I sadly had a mc at 11 weeks in jan and really hoping this baby will get to full term 🙏. You mentioned a few injections and medication you were taking. Was there any particular reason why. Gonna call gp and midwife on Monday but read as my bmi is over 30 I should take aspirin. How u doing just wanna try and make sure I help the situation as best as possible. Thank u ❤

Hey@Lizbb sorry to hear of your loss. Fingers crossed these pregnancies go much better for us all xxx

Hi sallyjo27, I'm also 8 weeks pregnant after a loss last October, out little girl wasent compatible with life, and we had to have a medical termination at 22weeks. It was awfull what we both had to go threw, I still think about her every day. I'm so worried this time that somethings going to go wrong and its hard to not think that. I have my first appointment with mw tomorrow so I'm hoping she will put me more at ease. Feel free to inbox me x

So sorry to hear of everyone's losses. You just don't realise how common it is to lose a child in pregnancy until it happens to you.

Has anyone had bad experience of clear blue digita weeks indicators? I know I need to stop testing but anxious about my lack of symptoms so been testing and each week has changed from 1-2 and 2-3 but this week is still on 2-3. Am kicking myself for continuing to test but trying to stay positive at the same time

Hi geyser, it's confusing when tests are coming up all diffrent, I only did 2 clear blue tests and they came up fine. Are you doing the tests first thing in a morning as the levels in Yr urine will be diffrent at diffrent times in the day.

Hello all!

I had my first pregnancy at the end of last year after nearly 5 years of trying!
Sadly I miscarried just before Christmas

However I have found out I am 5 weeks pregnant today

Been feeling veery anxious - just so desperately want everything to be ok

Had some stitch like pain today which I'm hoping is normal

Hey I've had lots of tugging and stitch like pains and am now 5 weeks 4 days so think is only a good sign 🤗

How is everyone's pregnancy progressing? I'm counting down the days til my early scan on Wednesday 🙏🙏🙏

Just taking it a day at a time! As hard as that is x

Hi everyone, I saw mw Wednesday, been refered to lots of diffrent things. One imperticular is called the rainbow clinic, it's for mums that have had a loss in the past, they help with early scans, extra tests, reassurance ect. I'm not sure if everyone knows about this. As I didint. So maybe help for someone. Hope everyone and bumps are OK. Praying for us all that we have happy healthy pregnancies.
8weeks +7 today 🙏🙏

That's sounds amazing is it a national service? Xx

Hello all, can I join? I am five weeks now after an mc a few months ago and a few chemicals including last month. I feel like I'm just waiting for something to go wrong - time is moving so slowly!! I am 41 so I am very anxious. I asked my GP if I needed anything to help the pregnancy progress - my progesterone came up slightly slow- and they said no because I had clearly ovulated so no need. Not sure I understand that. I'm waiting for Monday to do another cb digital and hoping I get 2-3! Too nervous to test again before then!

@Geyser33 just seen your post about a lack of symptoms - I posted the same thing on another thread yesterday. I think this early on it's totally normal to have none or for them to come and go. That said, I was happy to wake up super early today (apparently that's due to rising progesterone) and to have slightly sore boobs!

Hey Tweaker lovely to meet you! I am also an older mum I am 40 and pregnant with my second 10years after having my first. Sounds like we've been through the same experience pretty much! I am still running to the loo to check I've not started bleeding and was also anxious about seeing progression on the clear blue digital! I finally got my 3+weeks on Thursday at 5 weeks 4 days
Really hope things progress well for you! My gp has been great this time round and have had hcg levels monitored since 11dpo and now having early scan on weds for reassurance when I'll be 6 weeks 3 days. Has your gp been supportive?
Here if you need to offload! Xxxxx

Slowly getting symptoms now- very sore boobs on and off nausea...hope it all continues and same for you 🤞🤞

Thank you Geyser - I have an 11 year old so we are v similar and I also rush to the loo approx. 1 million times a day to check I have only had a reply from the Gp to a query I submitted (have to complete an online form before you can call them). They just told me to take pregnacare which I obviously started as soon I got my BFP on about 11dpo. I think I'll go in on Monday and ask for the midwife form. I will also take a cb digital again soon - I'll know my hcg has risen if it goes to 2-3.... fingers crossed for us and everyone on here 😁

It's so nice to meet someone in the same situation! I think a lot of my friends who had their kids close together think I'm mad! Really hope you get an early reassurance scan booked- it's a very long wait isn't it! Xxx

Hey all!

Am new to MN so sorry if I’m not posting right.

I am same, due November, preg after a MMC last August. The last 9months has been emotionally draining and I feel totally spent.

Am c5weeks, was delighted to be feeling lousy but over the past few days everything has faded so I’m fearing the worst. Drs haven’t even called to register me with the midwife so no chance of getting a scan - they said it would be 12 weeks by the time they called (I’d be 16wks by then!) I know things are tough for medics atm but they seem completely disinterested. I just keep being told how common MC are, does anyone else find that super offensive and insensitive?

Wishing all commenters the very best for your pregnancies and sending love your way ❤️

Hey sorry to hear that's been your experience. I found a similar reaction the last few losses by male medical staff. I currently have a great female GP who has been so supportive and has gone above and beyond. Maybe worth trying to request a female GP and see if you get a better experience? Sending big hugs xx

Hey, thanks for your reply!

Funnily enough it’s all been female staff 🤷‍♀️ I guess they’re just swamped but it hasn’t been great. I’ve got a very bad feeling today and just went down an internet spiral -EPIC mistake lol

Congrats on your cb result and pleased for you that you are starting to feel a bit ropey - if that’s not an odd thing to say!

Hiya, I'm 7w4d after 2 losses last year - one at 9wks, missed until 12, the other at 7-8wks. I also have a 3yo with complex needs. I had bad evening nausea with my son and similar with my second pregnancy. Last time I didn't feel sick much at all - so much so that I felt there was something wrong. This time I feel absolutely awful. The nausea is all day every day and, after 3 weeks of it, I'm finding it hard to cope with. While I know the nausea might be a good sign, I think half the struggle is knowing I might go through all this and still not have a successful pregnancy. I've booked a private scan for next week as gp was very nice but said they wouldn't scan me unless I had any pain or bleeding. I'm trying very hard to keep up the mantra "pregnant until proven otherwise"!
