Pregnant after chemical pregnancy

[lisawoop]

I have been TTC for 2years. Finally conceived last cycle just to experience a chemical pregnancy. Was completely devisated but happy to know I was actually fertile. Now I've just done a pregnancy test and it's positive. I'm happy but so scared because I don't wana go through losing it again. Is there anything I can do?

I'm going through the same thing had a chemical in march and I'm now pregnant again! In the same boat as you I'm petrified!!

I don't think there's anything you can do but keep calm and take it easy. Which is alot easier said than done!!

You could speak to your early pregnancy unit? I'm getting hcgs checked on Tuesday I have been offered a scan but I know I won't see anything and ill be even more of a wreck!!

I haven't got any symptoms yet have you?x

I can't get an appointment with my dr until 25th April which is a nightmare but will ask for an early scan because of what happened before. My breasts started getting a little sensitive yday afternoon but nothing else yet. It's so nice to know I'm not the only one. Trying to relax but is so much easier said than done!! Keep me updated. Fingers crossed for the both of us!

I managed to get the 16th April but I got my positive last Saturday feels like forever but the week when I think about it has gone pretty quick. I go away on the 23rd April very nervous about flying think I'm paronid about doing anything I won't even have sex now my partner hates it but understands. Should have my first midwife appointment around 8th may but I'm not really looking that far ahead I'm just thankful for every week that my pickles growing.

I've got the sensitive breast but not when I touch them? The feel tingly and sore. When are you due? How many weeks are you? But of a shock when your expecting af were you ttc straight after your chemical? I know they say your more fertile but I didn't believe it till now xx

I was due Sunday but only done test today out of fear af would just come late, I must only be 2/3 weeks. What about you? Think I might get one of those tests that date it to. Yes I continued to TTC straight away as was told by the dr it was safe after cp and seems I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years I really couldn't bare the thought of waiting. My breasts are feeling exactly the same! Really strange compared to normal af symptoms. My husband is panicking along with me as he's wanted children longer than I have, he's even said he's worried what sex will do but we will just deal with that as and when we need to I think. After trying for this long I'm paranoid about doing anything but I have heard flying is safe at first. At least you can discuss with your dr before you go! Xx

I had a chemical in January and conceived again in February. It's really tough not to worry- especially around when AF is expected. I admit I was super anxious early on. There really isn't anything you can do at this point. I try to take the perspective that if I lose the pregnancy, the baby was not healthy and wouldn't have survived anyway. It is tough either way, but after 3 losses (16w/5w/chemical) it's the only mentality I can have. I understand the worry you feel and I really do wish you the best! Stick baby stick!!!

 

[lisawoop]

Thank you for your reply and I'm sorry for your losses. I am trying to stick to that mentality but it is difficult when you've wanted something for so long. Can I just ask when you told friends and family? Because of what Weve been through my family and friends have become so much closer and now I'm pregnant I'm desperate to tell them! But if I tell them it makes it all the more real and will be harder to deal with if this baby isn't meant for this world.

I told my mom immediately this time, and we told immediate family soon after (around 5 wks). After our first loss, we learned how vital family support is to us, and with our other losses they have been a huge support. I've also told my best friend right after we found out each time. I think after what we've been through it's necessary to have the family support. My mom definitely helps when I have my freak out moments. I learned my lesson when I got pregnant in the fall. We were waiting a couple more weeks to tell family, and I miscarried at work at 5 wks. My husband is a huge support, but I really wanted my mom with me too. I hated calling her after the fact to explain everything.

Thank you for the advice, I think I am going to tell them after my drs app on Thursday. Actually quite nervous because its going to make it very real!!

I had a chemical in january and conceived again in february and Ive been a nervous wreck since I found out...a few things have helped me tone the anxieties down a bit... at the beginning I had CHEAP preg tests online (like 20 of them for 15 bucks) and I took one EVERY DAY and watched the line get darker and darker....once it was darkest though i felt pains and went to ER hcg was 22,700 and they did a scan and saw a beating heart... soon after that i ordered a doppler online on ebay (sonoline b) and it sucks waiting to use it but we found hb at 12 weeks and now i listen every day and it gives me some reassurance (dont get me wrong...i still freak out over everything) but it helps to give me the reassurance I need

 

[lisawoop]

Everything is still ok, fingers crossed. I'm almost 10 weeks now. Will hopefully be having a scan in the nxt couple of weeks which I'm quite nervous about to be be honest. I am scared that they won't find a heartbeat but I guess only time will tell. How can women cope with this paranoia multiple times? This is my first and I can't see me going through this again!

 

[Hope115]

I have my first scan this next thursday and i will be 8w3d and im worried about there not being a heartbeat too. I know it sucks but we just have to think what is meant to be will be.

Best of luck for Thursday! Make sure u let us no how it goes xx
