Positive test after 2 losses in 7 months

[LalaR]

Hi ladies, I am looking for some support and reassurance. Yesterday I found out I am pregnant again after 2 losses in 7 months. Both my losses have been early and I have never got as far as seeing anything on a scan. Both times I started spotting or bleeding soon after AF was due.
This time AF is not due until Thursday but I keep going to the loo to check for spotting. I have been feeling really nauseous and had some breast tenderness which continues. Today I feel anxious as I have started having some cramps again after a couple of days cramp free. Is this normal or should I expect AF to arrive? Sorry so many questions!!
Thanks to anyone who can help me through this.

Hello flower. Sorry nobody replied to you. I am on my 3rd pregnancy in 6 months so know how worried you feel. My 1st MC was 5 wks and 2nd at 7wks. If it helps I am still cramping badly and feel like my period will start any minute. I have everything crossed for you that this works out. Feel free to keep in touch. Good luck x x x x
by the way.....have you tested again today? how are the tests progressing?

Hello, I am also on my 3rd after 2 losses in 6 months. The first was at 7 weeks, the second at 5. I never had any cramping with either of those, even during the m/c, but this time I have had some cramping and am almost at 6 weeks now. In my mind it's a good sign of the uterus growing! At least that's what I will tell myself until I get to the ultrasound.

I too am running to the bathroom constantly to check for spotting. It's so difficult to focus on anything with this on my mind all the time! Hang in there, I am sure things will be ok

I'm having lots of cramping too! I can't remember if I had cramping like this with my DD's pregnancy, and I don't remember having it with my m/cs. So I guess it sounds like cramping is good? We are all doing it!

Thanks everyone for reading and replying. Now 12dpo and AF due tomorrow so the next few days are key. Tested again this morning and the line started appearing within 2 mins rather than 8mins. Still not as dark as the control line. Digi test positive 1-2 too! Feeling sick but I'm poorly just now with a sore throat and cold. Hoping it's all positive. I'm going to be a nervous wreck by the time I reach 12 weeks!! How are you all coping with the nerves? Good luck everyone!

That's great! A good sign for sure

The nerves are the hardest. Just trying to keep busy with things OTHER than searching forums and Google. I doesn't help that my OH thinks that my nervousness can make this one go wrong too So I am trying to hide it and stay positive! I did finally stop testing at 17 dpo too, that helped. I guess when it comes down to it, I know that what will be, will be, and there's no point in stressing over it since I can't change the outcome. But that's all logic, which doesn't always win over emotion! Hang in there and try to find other things to occupy your mind

Thanks crancherry. Keeping distracted is so so difficult. My test today was perhaps a tiny bit darker but not quite half as dark as the control yet. I sent a blood sample for hcg this lunchtime so hoping it is ok and plan to test bloods again on Monday looking for a good rise. Decided that numbers were the only way to settle me just now. My DH also thinks that anxiety caused the last MC so I've not really told him what I'm up to!! Hoping I can hang in there until 6 weeks so I can ask for an early scan at EPAC.

I had lots of cramping on and off for the first few weeks. It's totally normal and unless it gets really sever and you start to bleed you don't need to worry. I know it's scary but I really hope that this is your sticky bean
I am still checking the tp every time I wipe and I just turned 24 weeks. I am not sure when that will stop. I think after losses you just have a hard time relaxing.

Wishing you all the best sweetie x
