Due May 2026 after loss

[Ladyinpink1]

Hi, I am nervous even making this thread, like it is too soon to be on the pregnancy chat, but I am not telling anyone in real life, so I feel like it would be nice to have somewhere to talk about things with anyone who would like to join me 🙂.

We started ttc this baby in September 2022, I had a mmc in December 2022 then another in August 2023, then for the past 2 years we have been ttc without success, but I just got my positive test on Wednesday!
I can't believe it, I am obviously very happy and grateful but also extremely anxious.

@Ladyinpink1 thank you, and sorry to hear about yours too. There is something particularly cruel about a missed miscarriage isn’t there? Wishing you all the very best with this one.

I wish I could say it gives me some reassurance, but the reality is there’s a 1 in 3 chance purely down to being over 40. I try to take heart in the many many women I know who have given birth to healthy babies over 40, but I don’t think I’ll relax until I get to at least 12 weeks which feels like an age away now!

So got my blood test back today and my hcg is 319 so feeling a little bit more positive. Last time it was very low at the same time frame!

Thanks you @Ladyinpink1for starting this thread! I need it!

I'm am currently 5 weeks 5 days with an IVF conceived pregnancy. I had a MMC in March 2023 and then couldn't conceive until our first round of IVF last month.

The intense focus on just getting pregnant means I hadn't really given much thought into how it would be if I ever actually got pregnant ... if that makes sense. I'm really struggling to not overthink, google everything I feel and everything I don't feel, trying not to over test and trying not to worry everytime I go to the loo!

My first scan is the 25th which feels like a lifetime away!

@Ladyinpink1 thank you 💕I have pessaries so it's a little uncomfortable and discharge (tmi!) but I just keep hoping it's doing it's job 🤞🤞🤞

Is anyone obsessively testing, or trying not to obsessively test??

@HollyGolightly4 I've done a pack of 20 tests in 2 cycles. Going to stop now and wait for my scan!

I've just done another one because I got scared 🤣🤣🫠 xx

@HollyGolightly4 oh I HATE the pessaries!! Messy and gross.

I have definitely fallen victim to obsessive testing 😂 but this morning I got 3+ weeks on the clear blue so I'm telling myself that's enough now!

I tested a few times this week. Got my strongest positive today so going to noq wait for my scan in 4 weeks. Which feels forever away

I think that's what I'm waiting for to @CloudyIvy55 ! When do you think you are due?

@HollyGolightly4 I think I'm due around the 15th of May, 5 weeks 6 days today.

positive ya nagtive

Got my booking appointment and scan letter yesterday, it's not until the 14th November, I'll be 14 weeks 1 day! I don't know how I'll last that long. I have to call the scan room today to arrange the scan and I am going to ask if it's normal to have to wait so long. Pretty sure with my son 7 years ago it was closer to the 12 weeks.

@Fletchasketch That makes sense, hopeful for you x

Congratulations @CloudyIvy55 and you and I are quite similar with timings , my last mc was in August 2023, then it took us 2 years to concieve again, I was on the waiting list for another fertility appointment when it happened naturally. It's quite a shock after so long isn't it x

@HollyGolightly4 it's the pessaries I am on too, I use one every night but the daytime ones I only use depending on what i'm doing that day. I read the progestrone from them is 24 hours so I feel ok about it but at the start I kept running to the loo thinking it was bad news until I realised it was just the excess coming out x

That's frustrating @Willagorilla hopefully they can give you a slightly earlier one x

I'm 10 days after @Ladyinpink1 @CloudyIvy55 . It is such a shock after so long. I genuinely thought it wasn't going to happen till IVF

Hey 👋🏼 first off congratulations on your pregnancy🎉 I'm so sorry about your losses.😔 I got my bfp yesterday at 9dpo after a 34 week loss in February due to placenta abrupion. I completely understand the anxiety, my feelings are all over the place and it's going to be a long 9 months 🙈

Sending love and congratulations to all ❤️

Hey @Superscientist I'm not sure how i missed your message, sorry.

I recognise your user name, think we have been on threads together before.
Thank you for the positivity, so nice to hear your story, and congratulations, I hope you and baby are both well x

@NatalieSF So sorry for the difficult journey you have had so far, I can only imagine how difficult for you. Wishing you have a very different journey this time, and gentle congratulations x

@NatalieSF I hope you're doing ok. Lovely news, sorry to hear about how difficult your journey has been 💐

I have had no nausea today, maybe it will start later on or come back tomorrow, but when my nausea vanished last time, it was the end of the pregnancy. I know it can come and go a little at this early stage (7w+2) so trying not to stress too much but it is hard x

@Ladyinpink1@HollyGolightly4 thank you, I'm doing ok ❤️ just getting used to the news it's still very surreal. I usually get hyperemesis so I'm sure that will kick it into reality for me soon lol

@Ladyinpink1 how are you feeling today x

@Ladyinpink1it's totally normal for it symptoms to come and go, but of course I understand the worry.

I've woken up this morning which just a 'I'm not pregnant' gut feeling - such a difficult process. Makes me sad that I don't think I'll ever enjoy a pregnancy.

@CloudyIvy55 I'm having one of those days today too, and not as nauseous. It's such a head wreck to put it politely. Hope we all feel lovely and queasy by the end of the day. Hope everyone is doing ok

Hi ladies, tentatively joining this thread from the recommendation of the lovely @Ladyinpink1 😊 I try & avoid joining threads as I always have to leave them, but it helps having people who understand.

I’m 5 and a half weeks pregnant. This is my fourth pregnancy but I have no children. I’ve had 3 MMC in 2 years. This pregnancy im on progesterone, metformin (like last time) but now also aspirin, and will be started on blood thinning injections at 7 weeks to see if that will help as I had 1 positive test for APS followed by a negative.

Not feeling very hopeful at all. Can’t ever imagine having a baby at the end of it. I’ve also been spotting, but I have cervical ectropian so I am hoping it’s that

@Figtree11 I defo know that feeling of not being hopeful. I had 4 miscarriages including a missed one at 11 weeks, and I just thought it would never happen. Luckily my next pregnancy was successful, as I didn't have anything left to give and probably would have stopped after that. I am trying to feel a lot more positive this time round as I am sticking to the same plan that I had my daughter on, so in theory there is no reason why this can't be successful too. It's tough, but hope is all ive got.
