Pregnancy after chemical and line progression

[Strawberrybloom]

Hi, I had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago so I'm so nervous but trying to stay hopefully having just gotten a positive test again this month so would love to hear some positive stories and also how much line progression I should expect before a missed period.

By the calculations of my BBT and ovulation tests I got a positive at only 7DPO this time. The line was very slightly darker today (see pic although it has dried darker in this pic than it was at first). It's strange I've tested positive so early but then my dates could be off. I miscarried last time at 4.5 weeks although I had more pregnancy symptoms but that's maybe as I was slightly further on than this time. I'm praying this little one sticks 🙏

How are you getting on? I'm not having much luck, hcg is at 5500 not rising as they would like, but still going up slowly. got another scan tomorrow, they suspect it might be growing else where that's why the slow rise, but I Don't understand how!! when the sac was in the right place. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

I've been thinking about you ❤️ I'm so sorry you have all this going on and I'll keep everything crossed that you get good news at your scan tomorrow. It would definitely seem strange when the sac is in the right place. Was it a Transvaginal scan they did?

I have my scan tomorrow too. They've not done anymore bloods since the first lot. I think I'd rather find out at the scan how things are. I finally did another ClearBlue and got my 3+ so that's good at least.

I've been getting the odd very intense cramps that freak me out. Hoping they're just spasms to do with everything stretching and it's irritating the muscles that are already too tight with my MS as I have a lot of hip spasticity and I'm also on my second lot of antibiotics for a UTI! The nausea got a lot worse today so I'm hoping that's a positive sign too.

I'm so nervous about my scan but please God all will be okay! Please let me know how you get on tomorrow. The fact we're both still pregnant means there's hope. Look after yourself and chat again soon xx

Good luck for tomorrow🤞🏼 all your signs are very positive. Defo update each other tomorrow. Mines not untill 4.10pm tomorrow.

I hope all went well with your scan @Stacycu 🙏 Thank God mine went well - I'm measuring exactly 6 weeks and we even saw a heartbeat. She warned us beforehand though that depending on when you ovulated they sometimes can't see much at 6 weeks. We're back again in 2 weeks for a follow-up so please God all will still be okay. They're referring me to their high risk unit given my MS. Thinking of you today and hoping you get good news xx

Awwww I'm happy for you 😊 my situation ain't really changed. The sac is still empty, it's grown since last time, measures 5 weeks and 4 days. Hcg is going up very slowly. Could possibly be a blighted ovum. It's just a case in more scans and more bloods. I guess if nothing shows in the next week after the next scan then it's all over for me. I'll just sit and wait untill my body realises its non viable, then my hcg will drop naturally. I had a 2 hour wait for the doctor so I just left, and asked a nurse to call regarding next appointments. I'm just fed up now with the same outcome.

Hi, i just wana say Thank you, for being on this journey with me, but sadly the doctors have advised me that this pregnancy is going to end up being another miscarriage, at least one of us is going to have a happy ending. I want to wish you all the best for the future and thank you for being around through this journey. (One thing I have learnt from all this, is never to buy hundreds of pregnancy test again, and just ride it out). I'm just glad I have my answer and can move on with life, I want to miscarry naturally now so I'm riding it out. I do have a back up appointment for 2 weeks time to have a tablet inserted inside, to start it off but that's last resort...

Look after yourself and the bump, and please update the thread with your progress.
Take care, Stacy 😊 👋

Stacey I am absolutely heartbroken for you. I know there is nothing I can say to make it any better but please know you're not alone. Look after yourself and I hope that someday you'll be dropping a message into this thread letting me know you're having your rainbow baby 🌈. I'll let you know how things pan out for me too but thank you for making these first few weeks less lonely. Please look after yourself xx

Hi, just wondering how your getting on with your pregnancy? I finally had a miscarriage at 9 weeks. I decided to wait for it to happen naturally rather then have medical intervention.

Hi @Stacycu, it's so lovely to hear from you as I was wondering how you were getting on. I'm so so sorry you've had to go through another loss. I hope you're doing as okay as you can be and you've lots of support.

All okay here so far thank God. I'm 11 weeks and had another scan yesterday - with my health issues and the fact I'm getting lots of infections I'm having a scan every couple of weeks which helps with the anxiety. We opted for the Harmony genetic testing so get the results in a week or so so please God all's okay 🙏 I will keep everything crossed for you that you have your rainbow baby in no time and I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much xx

Beautiful @Strawberrybloom it's so good to hear all that, I'm happy for you 😊
Thank you for responding. Good news though I've just become a grandma, lol so I have him to cuddle with. I don't know if I'll ever have a rainbow baby, I think my body has given up after 6 miscarriages now. But it was a pleasure talking with you, please update me with your progress. Take care 😊

Hi, @Strawberrybloom i was just thinking about this chat and was wondering how your doing? It's been a while.

Hi @Stacycu how have you been doing? Our daughter was born in May and is now 12 weeks and doing great. Honestly still can’t stop staring at her and can’t believe we have the baby we always dreamed of. It was so lovely taking to you in those early days. Thinking of you and hope you’re doing okay xx
