BFP today after 2 x miscarriages - looking for some moral support!

[blueberry23]

Hi everyone!

Got my BFP today (a very faint one at 8dpo, but definitely there on two different tests.)

This is my third pregnancy in 5 months - I lost the other two at 5 weeks both times. I was breastfeeding and I've now stopped so hoping that was the issue and now I've stopped this pregnancy should be fine.

But I can't explain my level of fear that I'll start bleeding again, I feel absolutely terrified about what it will do to me to have to go through another miscarriage.

Any words of wisdom for me about how I can stay calm and think positive?

I'm also trying to think that even if the worst happens we have literally conceived every single time we have tried (including with my darling 20month old) so at least we know we are fertile.

Everything, everything crossed!

Also we are telling no one so I need to talk to someone

Hi there, same position. 4 miscarriages before 6 weeks, now pregnant and have made it to 8 weeks which means on Wednesday we will have actually made it to booking appointment stage

I breastfeed my 3 year old and am still carrying on throughout this pregnancy

If you can, get to your GP ASAP. They may agree to blood tests to see that your levels are all good. Mine has been very supportive this pregnancy and checked my iron and kidney function and so on. I believe they can prescribe progesterone if they believe it will help (for me it's not necessary)

I dreaded the bleeding after every positive test and still constantly check even at this stage. I think it's natural to worry when you have experienced losses.

Rest as much as you can, try not to stress (yes that's impossible) and I didn't lift anything heavy after the test either (I'm countryside so normally very active and always lugging stuff about)

I just keep reminding myself that every pregnancy is a new chance, each time something could have been slightly off but that doesnt mean that this one won't be a sticky baby for you

Talk away, I would be surprised if there aren't a few of us in this position, like you I won't be telling anyone until the pregnancy is well advanced so maybe we can all support each other through the journey.
