Pregnant again after two losses

[Trying4first1]

Hi ladies
I got a positive pregnancy test today at 11dpo!.Earliest I have ever had one! Was so unexpected as have all my normal AF symptoms.
I have had two MCs so I am so scared this one will end the same way. I am excited but petrified. It all hasn't sunk in yet. Anyone else in the same boat? X

Congrats on your bfp!

I'm not in the same boat as you but had a second tri loss and understand the worry and anxiety that comes with a bfp after losing a baby. It's never ending and everything is a worry, I know I'll spend my time worrying until my 20 week scan and nothing feels safe anymore.

It's horrible to feel so worried but we just have to try and stay positive for our babies and hope that this will be our rainbow xxxx

I'm in the same boat. Chemical at 5w first then had one at 7w and got a d&c I'm counting down for my scan at 9w

Hi and congratulations!

I'm in the same boat - two first tri mcs and feeling the most anxious I've ever been. I just can't concentrate on anything as all I keep thinking is the worst.

My symptoms (or lack of) are exactly as they were with last mc so I feel out before I've even started.

Really hope we all have sticky little beans and will be bringing home healthy babies next summer! X

First off, congrats

Try to stay positive. I know it's hard, especially if you've suffered multiple pregnancy losses. I've had three back to back, all at 6-8 weeks, so if I can get past that, I will feel much better. I no longer look forward to an ultrasound but dread it and 7 weeks is the earliest my doctor will give me one, which seems like an eternity.

Hi Ladies

Thank you all for you replies. firstly I am so sorry for your losses. its so sad that we all had to go through such a tough time i guess that we are going to feel very nervous as its only natural. I am constantly worrying this time around and feel very anxious. So far this pregnancy is different as I have a constant headache. But nothing else going on yet, sore boobs and achey back comes and goes. Not overly tired yet. But it is very early days and i know proper symptoms wouldn't settle in for another 2 weeks or so. Praying so hard that this is our rainbow. I am going to try and see my GP next week for bloods and hoping that will stop me from being so anxious x

First, congratulations
I was in the same boat, last year i had 2 back to back losses.
I rested up for 1 month and then we caught on our first try, i was very anxious,scared and didnt want to get too excited. My doctors were very understanding of my worries so sent me for 3 lots of blood tests and they all came back fantastic! This defiantly made me relax,next stage was my early scan at 6+5 which also turned out great! But deep back in your mind that worry and pain never fully leaves you but the days do get easier i promise!
I was very lucky and had a simple pregnancy.
But even in the late days the worries were still there,even reduced movements sent me crazy so my little girl was induced at 38 weeks.
Just take each day as it comes,dont think too far ahead.
Also my pregnancy symptoms didnt kick in till 7 weeks which was only minor sickness,tender boobs and abit tired.
Good luck and stay positive xx

Please don't worry about symptoms, this I my third pregancy and I've never had any symptoms with any of my babies. No symptoms doesn't mean that anything is wrong xxxx

Hi ladies. Thank you so much for your replies
I guess it's natural to worry after losses and we analyse every little thing. Today I am 5+1 so very early days still. I took a CB digi and only got 2-3 weeks on the indicator with FMU, where it should 3+ weeks.
Also I've not had headaches for days and no leg cramps and backache/uterus cramps like before. I'm not tired or moody or emotional, nothing. Only symptom I have is sore breast which to be honest are bearable and I am sometimes gassy. Very worried that this pregnancy is going the same way as my last I remember just having sore breasts last time and that was all.
I know it's prob too early for symptoms but I can't help but worry all of the time. Luckily I have my bloods being taken this Wednesday then more the week after. Me and DH have a early scan provisionally booked, depending on blood test results. I won't book in with the midwife until after our early scan as was awful having to call up last time after our loss.
We are just trying to get through each day and we don't really talk about the baby as it's easier not to and we don't want to get attached incase the worst happens. We are focusing on other things that we love to do and just getting on with life as much as we can 😊

Hi trying! CONGRATS on your pregnancy! How have your tests gone? I also find myself pg (and well over 40!) after 2 losses. I read your ticker and my losses were also at just over 4 weeks and 9 weeks. I am doing as you say -- my fiance don't really talk about it, because we don't want to get attached. Just eating right (though i have zero appetite) and taking things day by day and trying to focus on all the other things we love to do.
I have trouble believing this would happen again (pregnant without really trying and so unlikely at my age!), if it isn't meant to be this time. So I trust it is.

I have a really good feeling for you and I wish you a very happy and healthy pregnancy!!

Hi hopie! Thank you so much for your kind words and also huge congrats on your pregnancy
My HCG levels at 5+4 were 7645miu which are in the range that they should be. I get my next results for my 6+5 blood draw on Tuesday.
So far this pregnancy is very different. I have been getting nausea on and off and am feeling very tired. Breast still tender but bearable. I think I'm getting used to them!
How are things going with you!? When is your due date!?

I have a good feeling about your pregnancy too. Two losses is enough. Its now time for us both to grow a rainbow! 🌈

Hi trying41st! Congrats on the GREAT numbers!! I got my beta and progesterone test done today and have to wait 2 days for the results.

Thank you for the well wishes! Oh, i so agree that this is our time finally.
I have such a GREAT feeling for you. My feeling on myself isn't so hopeful- I have had some very light spotting and with my age and all I am just overly cautious.

Yes, have also gotten used to the sore bb feeling! Totally bearable. The BAD nausea has not been very bearable though. I must stay positive, but the constant sickness and aversions are hard!

Hope you're feeling good today, though tired I'm sure. Wake me up when January is over?

 

[Trying4first1]

Thanks hopie!
Got my results today. Was 27000 something a week later. Which my GP said was ok so will trust what he says.
Good luck with your betas! Let me know how they go!

I'm like you. Don't always feel hopeful. Especially as my nausea isn't that intense at all (maybe because I'm having a boy?) haha. But does make me worry. How old ar you if you don't mind me asking? Don't worry about age too much. My mum had my brother at 41 and he was born very healthy no complications 😊

The fact you have bad nausea is a great sign so hold on that! 😊 As horrible as it is.

been very tired today and the headache from hell. Not much nausea really. Guessing it's the headaches turn
Hope your doing well!?
Il wake you up at the end January only if I can then hide and wake up mid Feb!

 

[hopie2015]

Haha! Sounds like a deal. I just want January to be over!!

My due date is Sept. 6th. Crazily- the same due date of the baby I lost last winter..and my OH's birthday. Sigh.
I just don't have a good feeling.

I am so happy about your second betas being great!! All sounds great. And no worries about not having strong nausea -- some are just lucky and never get bad nausea. I am worried mine is extreme so early.
My doctor left a message today to call her as soon as I can to discuss my first test results. Nervous b/c the dr. never really calls..it is the nurse. I have called back twice and still no call back.

I am thinking it is not good based on my age. I never tell it..so I will have to pm you. j/kidding! I recently turned 44. Shock I even got pg first time trying at age 40, 42 and now.

I guess I'll hear back from dr. tomorrow at this rate. I would rather this just end now, as terrible as that sounds, than later. I am soo sick I haven't even kept a sip of water down.

I have SUCH a good feeling for you, I really do. You are in my prayers for a very healthy 9 months.

I just wanted to update you hope.
Sadly I am having another MC. Went for a scan at 8.5 weeks. Baby is measuring 10 days behind and the heartbeat is very slow. We are waiting for our bean to pass so we can end the pregnancy.
We are absolutely devastated and are very uncertain about our future. Our dream of parenthood seems even further away.
We are having a break from TTC until all investigations are complete. We will then take things as they come.

I hope all is well with you xx
