Just found out i'm pregnant again, scared after 1st pregnancy was miscarriage

[aptamil]

Hi all,

I'm new here and I am here for some words of wisdom. I'm 29, had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in October. I had a feeling from about 5 weeks that something was wrong as all my symptoms went away. I had severe breast tenderness immediatialy after ovulation that gradually faded.

6 days ago I did a HPT at 10 dpo, it was positive and has been getting darker every day. I am now 15dpo, have very little symptoms, was having some nausea this had stopped. Now I am having a very little tiny bit of breast tenderness and some mild twinges in my abdomen but not much else.

I was charting until yesterday when i had a bbt drop from 37.01 to 36.4. This scared me so I decided to stop temping as it is clearly going to drive me crazy.

I am about to start a 7 day stretch of long shifts and I am worried about this effecting my pregnancy. Want to be happy but am not going to just yet.

Is the drop in bbt definitely a bad sign? Any hope for me? any advice from those who have been there?

To those preggers after a m/c all the best

I had a drop around then that went below CL. It looked just like it does before AF starts. I immediately got some progesterone cream (and then a script from the doctor) and we saw our twins at our 8 weeks scan. You could try the cream as it won't hurt if your levels aren't low. You do have to continue it until 12ish weeks though.

Hi there,

I can't help you with the temp drop as I never temped, but when I got my BFP after MC I was always panicking because I didnt have morning sickness, I felt fine except for being tired a lot and needing to pee a lot. To be honest I panicked all the way up to my 12 week scan, and even after that I still worry now just not as much. Just take each day as it comes and try not to panic. The chances of MC again after one are only 20% which is the same as anyone who hasnt had a MC, the odds are completely in your favour.

As for the work, I would tell your boss that you are pregnant and they can accomodate you accordingly. I told my boss staight away that I was pregnant again and she asked me what changes they could make to help, I reduced the lengths of my shifts and worked more short days rather than fewer long days (I used to do some 12 hour shifts, now I do a mix of 5, 7 and 9 hour shifts instead).

Oh and once you get to 12 weeks I would recommend buying a doppler, I bought mine as soon as I saw that little heartbeat on the scan and found the heartbeat on it at 12 weeks 1 day. I had a bleed at 20 weeks and the doppler has been really good reassurance!

Feel free to PM me or ask any questions (not that I have all the amswers of course, I just found other women who were further along gave me light at the end of the tunnel!)

I saw your post and decided to respond as soon as I got my news...
I am in a very similar situation. I got my blood taken at 13 dpo, HCG 284.I had a huge temp drop on Monday morning (I will attach my chart) and thought for sure I was having another mc. I went in to get my blood taken that afternoon and just got the result, 1310 hcg!!!! I have stopped temping and stopped poas. If you can, go get blood drawn for peace of mind. And I agree with baileybubs, if you can, tell your boss, even express your concern and see if you can take it easy!

Wanted you to know that a temp drop does not necessarily mean anything during pregnancy! Good Luck!!!
