Cautiously pregnant after two losses...

[Vicki_Cream]

Hello ladies!

I suffered and ectopic pregnancy in 2012, and I recently had a MMC which ended in a D&C in October this year, so as you can imagine I am incredibly anxious.

I'm waiting for a doctor's appointment at the moment so I can get referred for an early scan, but I am feeling a tad hopeful that this pregnancy is ok. I'm feeling horribly sick so far already, and have a slew of other symptoms, whereas with my recent pregnancy I had barely any symptoms except from occasional vomiting. I had severe hyperemesis with my daughter, so I'm kinda hoping I don't develop that again this time haha.

I'm also a little confused as to how far along I am, as I had a super short 20 day cycle after my D&C (which would put me at about 6+1), but the dates on my ticker are going by my average cycle length. I guess I will have to wait for my scan to find out!

Congratulations on your BFP!

I've had two first tri m/c so I can totally relate to the anxiety. Sounds like this ones off to a better start though, I'll keep everything crossed for you! X

Fingers crossed for you and congratulations on your BFP

Totally anxious here....I have had 2 chemical pregnancies over the last 12 months and had a loss at 9 weeks during the summer and had a d&C. That turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy so even more distressing....I was told to not TTC until I had been discharged. You have to be referred to a specialist centre for HCG monitoring....luckily chemo was not required and I was discharged to TTC early October, fell pregnant 3 weeks later

Had an early scan at 6 weeks and saw HB and have another tomorrow, exactly 9 weeks so I am officially crapping myself, so nervous and symptom spotting

Welcome! I am right there with you in the worry boat. I also had a loss in October though, at least from a physical perspective, I was lucky compared to many. I started bleeding heavily out of the blue at 6 weeks, and things went quickly and obviously.

It took about 2 weeks for my pregnancy tests to go negative, and I started feeling sick about a week after that. I was shocked to have a positive test exactly 4 weeks after the MC. I have has two scans so far and things look good. Both of the scans (6+4, 8+4) line up with the first day of the MC bleeding essentially being cycle day 1. I feel VERY lucky to be here, but very freaked out too. I also suffered w hyperemesis w my son and am pretty sick this time around too. Of course, in the way my crazy paranoid brain works, I would feel WAY worse if I felt any better.

I'm just trying to take it one day at a time and hold onto the idea that things will work out the way they are meant to be. Some days it works better than others, but I am starting to have more good feelings than bad.

Thank you ladies, I'm sorry for your losses, but a massive congratulations on your BFP's!!

I've got my first scan on the 29th, feeling super anxious about it already. My doctor agreed that I'm probably further along than the standard dating he did today, and we will find out at my scan. Fingers crossed we see a little heartbeat this time.
