Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. My second pregnancy was a missed miscarriage, we found out at my first ultrasound, I should have been about 11 weeks but baby stopped growing at 9.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I am terrified for my first appt, there weren’t really any signs that anything was wrong with my loss so it completely blindsided us. In general I’m just trying not to think too much about anything. This my 4th pregnancy, we had a successful 3rd (he is now one), so the loss isn’t quite as fresh this time but PGAL brain never really goes away.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
I enjoy running. It helps to clear my mind and keeps me active despite having a desk job.

I had a super uncomplicated first pregnancy, made it half way through, saw our little boy in the anatomy scan and left with our doctor saying, “Everything looks perfect!” Then two weeks later I went into labor at 22w 2d. It was so fast they couldn’t stop it, and still don’t know why it happened. He was born premature and didn’t survive (we actually spent today visiting his grave, which was nice.) When given the okay to try again we tried for a year before getting pregnant, then miscarrying at 7 weeks. I should note that I have since had four healthy children because I take progesterone injections from 16-36 weeks, and my cervix is closely monitored just to be safe. But each pregnancy has DH and I nervous the whole way through.

Some waves of nausea have come and gone, pretty tired, and the normal amount of anxiety waiting for my first appointment.

Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. I got my BFP this past Thanksgiving. When I was almost 8 weeks I passed a large clot, went to see the midwife who said I miscarried. Got my HCG done and it was going up so I had to go back for an ultrasound but had to wait because at this point it was Christmas. Was told I miscarried and took misoprostol. It took weeks for the bleeding to stop and for my HGC to finally go back to zero which was just a crappy reminder.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I had some bleeding two weeks ago at 6+2 and went in for an ultrasound. They didn't see the heart beat so I'm going back tomorrow. I've been trying to go about life as if it's fine but I'm so anxious to go tomorrow.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Emotionally I am very anxious, physically I am nauseous and having headaches off and on.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. 2 very early losses in the last 18 months. Turned out my tubes were blocked so the RE thinks they might have been ectopic and self resolved.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Much better. On medication for HG, and the fact I HAVE HG I am finding reassuring now that I have it under control. The only other pregnancy I had it with was my son.
