Pregnancy after Chemical Pregnancy Loss

knottieda9a2c958580b4ee

I miscarried a chemical pregnancy a little under four weeks ago. Much to mine and my husband's surprise, I got pregnant again my first ovulation. While some symptoms aren't as bad as last time, like my acne and breast pain. Others are way worse, like my morning sickness and fatigue. Even at a little under four weeks I can barely stomach most food. I spend most of my day lying down because I'm so exhausted. Due to the loss of my first pregnancy, I'm beyond scared I could lose another one. I'm obsessing over every symptom, wondering if it's normal or not. Has anyone else gone through this? How do you combat the anxiety and stay with the joy? Is it normal to just want to sleep and throw up all day?

I’m 5 weeks 4 days and going through the same exact thing. Since I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks I’ve taken three more additional tests in moments of total panic because I was sure that it was happening again. August was my third chemical pregnancy in five months. So far my breast tenderness isn’t as bad as last month and neither is the morning sickness- I only get nauseous if I get too hungry. The fatigue is a struggle and I have a 2 year old! 

I keep telling myself that if something is going to happen, if this turns out to be another chemical pregnancy, it’s out of my control. There is nothing I can do to prevent or change it. The only thing I can do is to take care of myself- rest, eat healthy, exercise, take my vitamins, etc. I tell my husband when I’m feeling anxious and he’s been really reassuring. I also call my best friend and she’s been an amazing support. 

Hang in there! I keep telling myself the cramping and the other symptoms are good signs

I’m in a similar boat. I miscarried at exactly 5 weeks in July. Pregnant again now and currently 7 (almost 8) weeks. At just over 5 weeks I went to the ER because I was having sharp stabbing abdominal pain and a fever and was worried it was ectopic. They confirmed it was in my uterus and I just had a bad UTI. They saw a gestational sac and yolk but no fetal pole. Regular Dr confirmed that was normal and said she’d see me in two weeks and we’d be able to see plenty then. Went in a few days ago and she still couldn’t see anything but said for an abdominal ultrasound that was still normal. She ordered a referral for me to go get a transvaginal ultrasound but insurance is dragging their feet and not approving it, so I still haven’t gotten it. And every time I feel any sort of cramp or anything I worry. I hope if gets better. My first pregnancy was miserable symptom wise but at least all along I was able to confirm baby was healthy.
