Loss... Now what?

in Late Term and Child Loss
I took a positive pregnancy test on Monday. We were not trying, but I haven't been on the pill in years so I assumed I really couldn't conceive. I also take progesterone a couple weeks out of the month to balance out my high estrogen levels. Another reason I though I couldn't get pregnant. I called the dr to have blood work done because I take hormones... Just to see if everything was ok. Well I get a call that my hCG is only 16 when I'm almost 5 weeks. That's all the girl told me, but I know that's not good. I took another pregnancy test and it was negative. Obviously, my levels have dropped. I'm so sad, and scared that I won't have another shot at this. I know obviously something was wrong, and I want a healthy baby but, I've been on such a roller coaster of emotions this week. Has anyone experienced such an early loss?

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Most of the people on this board have had late losses. I think you might find people in a similar situation on the miscarriage board.

    @melissamc14‌ it's no problem. Some people here have had both early and late losses. I just think you might get more responses over there. I think you are welcome to post on either board.

    I just dealt with a m/c at 4w 5d (5/6/14). It was a rather stunning and shocking experience, I did however know for almost three weeks at that point. We got multiple positives on 4/17/14. As soon as I called my dr they congratulated me and scheduled my first appointment for 8w. Now, I'm seeing and calling my OB/GYN at least once a week to make sure my levels go back down. 
    I know what you mean by thinking that you couldn't conceive. My husband and I hadn't been doing anything to prevent pregnancy for over a year when we got our BFP. I kept thinking that there was something wrong with me and I was so excited to get that positive. I hope that now that I am seeing a dr regularly that we can actually try now. 
    It's definitely hard. I also had a mc at 7 weeks when I was much younger, but never went to a dr because of the dangerous situation I was in at the time. That was about 6 years ago, and I still wonder about that little one... I named him, I always thought that baby was a boy and I actually got into writing him letters when I was really missing him. I have a collection of letters that eventually, when I'm ready I will release somehow. 
    I think the early m/c can be just as hard but in a different way. You have just enough time to become attached. I actually ended up in the hospital and on sick leave for a week with my latest loss and its not something I will soon forget, I miss my little new year angel but now I have days where I just want to try right now even though we are still monitoring my hCG levels. And there are days, when I just want to curl up in a ball and forget that anything else exists. I haven't figured out how to deal with this particular loss yet, I'm heavily considering talking to a therapist!
    I am sorry to hear of your loss.
