Symptom-free pregnancy - worried!

66 replies

Kroot · 17/05/2022 23:41

I have had 3 miscarriages in a row - all early.
First pregnancy, I had no symptoms and found a MMC on week 12 scan (stopped growing at 5 weeks). Second one was a chemical pregnancy and third one was a miscarriage between weeks 7 and 8 (saw heartbeat a week prior and then no heartbeat a week later). Third pregnancy, I had nausea and really sore breasts which then disappeared just before the scan on which we found no heartbeat.

I am now ?6weeks. I’ve not had any symptoms (apart from loose stools). So I’m naturally associating this with my past experience. So worried this will
be another MC.

I have a scan tomorrow afternoon and I’m terrified. I’ve said I won’t get ‘attached’ to this pregnancy but I don’t think that’s a thing, is it?

Anyone been in a similar position before?

Crossing my fingers for you OP 🤞🏼

Yes, I had two losses before a successful pregnancy and symptom wise all three were very similar early on,
so that was no indication at all whether it would stick. The symptoms also stopped at around the same time with all three - 8ish weeks. When I got to the dating scan with my sticky baby I was so nervous! Now he is asleep on my chest and refuses to be put down in his crib.

Good luck.

I'm 5 weeks now after a mmc early this year. More symptoms last time I'm also shitting myself.

@Kroot I'm sorry for all your losses.

Have you been put on aspirin and progesterone already since you've had several early losses? I mean, the aspirin you can take yourself, would be worth starting asap. They both seem to help so many women who have had repeated early losses.

LondonladyTTC · 18/05/2022 06:24

Sorry to hear about your losses.

I am currently 17+4 and still pretty much symptom free. Certainly didn't feel anything in the first trimester as didn't get morning sick at all. Baby has looked healthy on every scan so far.

Good luck at your scan today!

user375242 · 18/05/2022 08:23

Also wondering if you have been offered progesterone?

Typically, other than implantation cramping which can be earlier, morning sickness and other obvious symptoms usually kick in at week 6. So try not to worry too much, it's early days. I had awful morning sickness week 6-12 with my pregnancies but was fine before that.

@Kroot hey I've had a Mc and a successful pregnancy and am currently pregnant, with my DD I was horrifically sick and felt pregnant feom what felt like conception! My MC I felt nothing at all..:. This time I don't feel pregnant apart from the odd wave here and there.... so hoping all is well

Mamastarz · 18/05/2022 19:18

@Kroot I was reading your thread, and wondering how did your scan go today. X

Nikki2ol6 · 18/05/2022 22:46

How was your scan?

Thank you.
I am on Aspirin, but not progesterone. It seems the evidence for progesterone is when there’s early pregnancy bleeding and history of precious MCs. I’ve not really had bleeding.

Thank you so much for all your messages ladies.

Scan showed a small gestation sac, which is so far empty. There was a small area of bleeding outside the sac/in the uterus which I’m told can be an early pregnancy thing and may be nothing to worry about, but we’ll see.

It is either too early to see anything other than the sac, or it’s a non-sticky one. They’ve taken HCG levels for me (results awaited) and I’ll probably have serial levels checked or re-scan next week or so.

Not sure what to think, but I’m not feeling too positive..

If you think you’re around 6 weeks then it’s entirely possible it’s just too early to see 🙂 only a day or two off at that stage will make a big difference on what can be seen on a scan. Do you have the next scan booked yet?

I hope that’s all it is.
I am still very symptom-free and uncertain.

They did HCG and progesterone levels yesterday and have said the levels correspond with early pregnancy. Going to have repeat levels tomorrow so let’s see what that shows

@Kroot I feel you ❤️ did they say what they went up by? I'm so nervous I had an early scan like you just showed empty sac, aNd put me 3 days behind, it was external so not too worried, but at 6 weeks in 48 hours my hcg only Rose from 22k to 23.5k so I've had to wait ten days for a scan which is today I feel like I know the answer :( I have no symptoms x

Lots of best wishes for your scan.
I can’t remember the numbers but it hadn’t quite doubled (went up by like 1.5x I think).

Hope your scan goes well today
