I've had 4 chemical pregnancies/ miscarriages since July 2020 😪
July 2020
December 2020
May 2021
February 2022.
I usually lose them within the first 2 weeks after getting a positive test.
Pregnant again and every time I go loo I'm so scared to see blood... currently on day 3 of missed period.
I'm on levothyroxine for low FSH, 75mg Aspirin, 5mg Folic acid and now progesterone pesseries twice a day.
Any success stories to keep my hopes up?

I worried the same with my DD whose a teen very soon. It’s awful, the worry the stress. You do have to try to relax. Hope is out there, wishing you well

Hi OP, I can’t tell you how much I relate to this, every word resonates honestly and I totally understand. I had DS in 2013 - started bleeding lightly around 6/7 weeks which turned out fine. We then 5 years ago decided to try for DC2. After no luck I MCd 3 times between September 2019 and Feb 22. I got another positive test last month and am now 10 weeks, and surprise surprise, started bleeding again! At around 7 weeks. Assumed it was all over again, put a pad on went to work and tried to forget about it. Went to EPU after about 5 days of the bleeding to confirm my thoughts of another MC and to my surprise saw a dancing baby and was dated a week further ahead! I nearly fell over. Sonographer said she couldn’t see any reason for bleeding around the baby but the spotting has continued since (about 3 weeks now.)

Anyway that was a very long winded way of saying - there’s nothing anybody can say to make you relax in pregnancy after loss. Nothing. For me, I give myself a designated 15 mins or so in the evening to panic about all the things that can go wrong. Then I dust myself off and get on with my day so the anxiety and fear creeps into the rest of my life as little as possible. All you can do is know what will be will be and as a PP said - there is absolutely hope out there. I am sending you lots and lots of well wishes 💐

Thank you @KissThaRain I'm trying my best to relax 😊
@Tisfortired I have a DD who I had in 2013... no problems with her. Had 2 losses when she was nearly 3yo. So this will be my 8th pregnancy. I'm so glad you got good news. I'm under a gynaecologist who is sending me an early scan letter... hoping I don't bleed before then, fingers crossed x

I just found out I am pregnant and really worried something wrong. I have pain on right side.
I am very early and test showed 2-3wks. I am scared going to the loo too. No bleeding but very worried.
I have appointment EPU tommorow.
Very scared

@StaceyW87
After 4 miscarriages 2 at ten weeks and 2 at 6 weeks I'm now pregnant 14 weeks and still knicker check, I'm on progesterone 2 a day to the fear never leaves ya as i have learned, this will be my first hoping all good tomorrow at my dating scan.

Took me to 11 weeks to send form away for midwife as my anxiety got the best of me, good luck and hope it all works out.

@Scorpio8 I know every tiny pain is so scary. Hope you get on OK tomorrow.

@Babyghirl bless you I'm glad you're progressing with this pregnancy nicely. If I get that far I can imagine every toilet break being worrying too... just expect blood every time 😪 x
