Anxiety with second pregnancy very new

[amy2016]

Hi everybody,

So I had my first pregnancy back in March of this year, I had a mc at about 5.5 weeks. Been TTC since then. My cycles have been short (like 22-25 days) which worried me a bit. I did talk to my doctor about it and he didn't seem concerned, but he's a GP and not a specialist so I don't know.

Anyway just this past week I've had a few positive pregnancy tests. Right now it's day 28. I had the first positive test on Day 24... super faint line... then again on day 25, still very faint but came up a bit faster... and on day 27 (yesterday) a bit stronger. I've been taking my basal temp too and it has remained elevated since ovulation. (I ovulated on day 12 according to my chart).

Well this morning I woke up and I had this awful anxious feeling. I took my temp and it was down a half degree, almost as low as pre ovulation but not quite. So I took another test to try to reassure myself and it came up basically negative. The line was so faint I could barely make it out at all when I squinted. I feel like my pregnancy symptoms are disappearing too. I was feeling really tired and nauseous and achy, and especially the sore boobs, and today it's just all less.

I might just be psyching myself out but I have a really bad feeling I would just love some advice. It's really scary going through this again, and I feel like if I have another loss it will be an indicator that something is really wrong.

Oh and I'm almost 32. Otherwise healthy apart from panic attacks/anxiety disorder.

No spotting or anything either. Last time I mc'ed it started with a very tiny amount of spotting that totally freaked me out, my doctor sent me to hospital just to check and reassure me and it turned out my HCG had plummeted and they couldn't find anything on the ultrasound (it was only 5.5 weeks). Then the next night I had a major bleed and it lasted a good week or 10 days. But last time I mc'ed I had this same "feeling" too and the symptoms did disappear. I am so anxious over all this because I am an anxious person to begin with

It does sound like a possible chemical pregnancy, I really hope it's not and you get a stronger positive the next time you test.

If you are ovulating roughly day 12 even on a 22 day cycle, that would give a lutel phase of over 11 days, and anything over 11 days is considered normal. It took my cycles 5 months to get completely back to normal following my Mc, and I did have one chemical during that time.

Fingers crossed that everything is OK though,

Eta, perhaps you would consider giving vitamin b6 a go, it's particularly helpful when ttc x x

Thanks so much for the response. I really am feeling more and more like it must be a chemical preg I am going to test again in the morning but I just feel like I know. I am very sad. I wish TTC was not such an emotional roller coaster.

I remeber the feeling well, and all going well am hoping this is our last baby as I couldn't cope with ttc again. It's very very hard work

As a side note, we did sperm meets egg plan and caught the first.month, it may have been a fluke but anythings worth a try right?

I genuinely hope your time comes soon, big
