Chemical pregnancy and miscarriages

[glf777]

Hi all,

I am completely clueless when it comes to pregnancy etc.

I have had a couple of medical abortions in the past which appeared to go ok. I couldn’t carry on with either pregnancy’s due to the person I was with (had serious drinking issues).

December 2020 I took a pregnancy test two days after my missed period, and got a positive test. A few days later I just had normal period like bleeding. I assumed this was what people refer to as chemical pregnancy’s.

In May I took a positive pregnancy test a few days after I missed my period. A day later I had some bleeding which I passed a tiny blood clot, and had half a day of light bleeding. A week ago I found out I had blighted ovum/sac with no foetus in it. I was given medication to get rid of all of the remaining tissue etc. I did have heavy bleeding so ended up in hospital.

I guess I’m now just worried I will never be able to get pregnant and carry a baby. Has anyone else experienced this? The guilt of my past is really playing on my mind.

I had two miscarriages (6 weeks and 8 weeks) before I had my kids. Possibly some chemicals too, tbh, but I tried not to test too early. A couple of times I was SURE I was pregnant but then had a period, so... It's very very common and there is no reason to think you won't be able to have kids if you want them.

Thank you so much for replying. I have just got myself so wound up, and it’s really bothering me!
