2 chemicals and scared

[Arose21]

Been TTC for 5 months. Had my first chemical pregnancy in July and my second is currently happening.

Naturally, I am devastated but going to keep trying.

Apart from the obvious things, any other recommendations? I have heard taking 150mg of Aspirin is supposed to help (blood flow etc).

I'm at a loss. I'm an active, healthy 29 year old (30 in a few weeks). My heart goes out to all those who have been through CP and MC because it really does take so much out of you.

I lost my Mum at the start of the first COVID lock down (in the UK) and my best friend thinks I'm still going through a lot and have a lot of stress (family and work related).

Against my better judgement, I took early detection tests and all four of them came back BFP. I took one the day before I started bleeding and it was so faint and my heart just sank.

My OH tried to be positive for the both of us but I saw the look on his face and it just killed me. It hurts so much.

I'll keep trying. I just hope someday soon, it will happen for me.

So sorry your going through this it's awful, just don't put to much stress on yourself l, try to relax I hated hearing that but after 4 miscarriages and 1 cp I would be a bag of stress by now if I didn't go easy on. 💚

Ahh I'm so sorry. I had several chemical pregnancies in a row between my first DC and my second. No reason for it and did nothing different the cycle we conceived successfully. Have you spoken to your gp? It's worth having a note on your file so that you can push for some answers if it keeps happening. Fingers crossed you get your bfp soon

Not quite the same but I had a MMC in December, a chemical in august, and have caught now - appears to be 7+5 with a strong heartbeat. The only changes were taking 81mg of aspiring daily, 5mg folic acid, and I took progesterone suppositories from 3DPO this cycle. No way to know if any of those were what worked but the folic acid and aspirin are easy changes to make.

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry you went through that!

I'm taking folic acid but going to take the combined folic acid with vitamin D from boots going forward. I was thinking of taking pregnacare but after seeing lots of reviews saying it messes up your periods I'd rather not.

I'm also thinking of taking aspirin before bed too.

I'm sorry they messed with yours! Relieved I didn't buy them today.

@Arose21
Read up on folate it's pure folic acid, some people don't digest folic acid on its own so folate is better. Was following a fertility specialist on Facebook and she told us to get it. Can get it on amazon have a read on it.

I am sorry for your loss, and I am sorry you're going through this, my heart goes out to you. Keep trying dear, hopefully soon it's going to happen for you. How is your relationship with your mil? You need a support system in place for this, so make sure to create one.

I'm sorry for your losses OP. They are shit. I've had a couple myself whilst trying for 11 months before we fell pregnant with my current pregnancy, I am 23 weeks at the moment and doing well.

Apparently they're one of those things. I tried aspirin and soya isoflavones but there doesn't seem to be a reason as to why they happen unless you have some medical issues. I was told to keep trying which we did. What did help me eventually, mentally and physically, was looking after my mental health and acupuncture. I still do it monthly and if you can afford it I would recommend. Hang in there, there is nothing wrong with you or your body and believe that your time will come ❤️

Thank you. I appreciate it. I'll keep going.

I just hate trying to do everything right and still failing.

@Arose21 you're not failing, don't think of it that way as it will drive you crazy. It will happen when the time is right. You're doing what you need to do, the rest will happen when it's meant to. Look after yourself in the meanwhile and your mental health. Don't put your life on hold, you still have to live and be happy.
