Pregnant with after miscarriage

[shannonhinton0421]

In November I sadly a miscarriage at 5 weeks.

Yesterday I found im pregnant again, we are absolutely over the moon, but the anxiety I have this time is just on another level, today I've taken 7 tests.

When I had a miscarriage in November I took another test 6 days after a found out and the line was fainter obviously I panicked and took a digital the digital came back postive, but then I started getting leg pain and then during the night I woke up bleeding, took another digital and it was negative.

But now I cant stop testing and I'm going crazy, some lines are lighter, which I know is normal depending if I've just drank a lot of water, digital still says pregnant.
I'm worried because all day I've been getting on and off lower back pain, I have still been feeling a little sick, I wouldn't be very far gone right now due to miss my period tomorrow.

I'm going to try and just test in the morning from tomorrow just for some reassurance.
But every little twinge I get It making me worry, j keep saying to myself there's nothing I can don't worry, relax, what will be will be, but it's easier said than done isn't it.

Hi there,

I’ve been through the same thing and over the moon to have my rainbow baby.

You need to relax, this anxiety is not good for you at all.
fingers are crossed for you that all is well. I remember I was constantly worried with every little spotting or twinge when pregnant with my baby too due to the miscarriage I had.

I guess the thing you need to tell yourself is, it is what it is… sadly there’s nothing you can do in situations like this, but try to relax if you can :)

also, it is always better to do a test in the morning with your first pee, as it’s more concentrated.

goodluck x

Thank you! I just had to keep myself busy to keep my mind if it I think.

Sorry you went the through the same thing, thank you for your advice I definitely need to chill out abit x

Hi @shannonhinton0421,

I totally get where you're coming from but you're going to drive yourself crazy symptom spotting and testing. I had MMC in March and we started actively ttc again since May. I had a very faint positive this morn but I haven't even told my DP yet as like you I'm having strange pains which would suggest AF is coming (I'm due tomorrow too) but I also have pregnancy symptoms that I experienced back in Feb so I'm over analysing everything 😭 There's a great thread that I'm following that you should copy this post into for some reassurance. Fingers crossed it works out for both of us but if for some reason it doesn't there's some amazing positive stories from other ladies in the same position as us. Fingers crossed for you either way 🤞.

Oh wow that's crazy we are both in the same situation because I'm so experiencing symptoms from my first pregnancy too.

Thank you I'm going to follow now x

@shannonhinton0421 ive had 3 mc now and know exactly how you are feeling anxiety-wise but honestly i would try not to test at all now youve had your positive. I know its hard, ive been there, got myself into a testing frenzy but it was pointless because whatever will happen will happen anyway. You cannot change what will happen and the tests will just make you more anxious. Try to do things to focus on your anxiety instead. Best of luck

I hope everything goes well for you

@shannonhinton0421 thanks you too. Hopefully see you on other thread and we both get some good news whenever that may be 🤞💕x
