Pregnant after a Loss

New Here and Nervous

Hello ladies :) Very happy to be here but, like all of you I'm sure, am very nervous. So nervous that I have not shared the news with my husband.

I miscarried on April 16th at 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. Just over a month ago and relatively early in our pregnancy (although still devastating). To my surprise and delight, I am expecting again without having a period between. I will be 5 weeks on Wednesday (and I think even that's a little off because of the mc...I think I'm actually a few days behind...more like 4 weeks).

With our DS I had 2 dark lines on 13 DPO. This time, I ovulated later but still think my lines should be darker at 17 DPO. This is driving me a little crazy and making me doubt if this will stick.

 

I don't want to stress and want to just enjoy this and be happy. I'm trying to wait until 6 or 7 weeks to tell my husband so I feel a little more secure. I got blood work done today and it confirmed the pregnancy.

 

Anyway..I'm so happy to be here. And so happy for all of you that are here as well. Best of luck to everyone :)

Re: New Here and Nervous

  • ((hugs)) Welcome and congratulations! Honestly, I would think about telling your husband right away. If something, God forbid, does go wrong, you will want his support and understanding. Yes, it's a scary time for both of you, but you will be stronger for having gotten through it together.

  • You know I've thought about that...you're probably right as I would tell him regardless about it so keeping it from him won't do any good.

    Thank you for the warm welcome :)

    Welcome and congrats! I hope this is your sticky baby!

    I told my husband right away every time I've been pregnant. He's my best friend, and it's his baby, too. We're in this together as a team. We celebrate the good times together and grieve the bad together.

  • Completely agree... as are my husband and I. He mentioned last time to wait and tell him but it was just in his disappointment I think. I can't keep things from him so it's more of me being nervous and thinking I'll be able to wait...which I won't!

     

    Thanks for the advice..you're right I need to tell him:)

  • Congrats and welcome. As PP's have mentioned, I think telling your husband right away would help you deal with the stress/anxiety of being PgAL. I know that I could not handle the pressure without his support.

  • Looks like you changed your mind about telling your husband. That's good. You will need him every step of the way.

    You can call your doctor and see if they will draw betas. They can see if the hsg is rising.

    Congrats and welcome.

    Hey congrats! I wanted to wait to tell my husband too. I just wanted to know everything was ok before telling him so we could be excited instead of saying "we'll see what happens.." But it didn't last. Ended up spilling the beans by the end of the second day knowing. I know how u feel!!

  • Congrats and Welcome!  Please ignore the darkness of your lines.  As a POAS addict, I will tell you that analyzing those little lines is trouble  ;)  They are dependent on so many factors, some of which are out of your control; watching your betas rise is a much more accurate indicator of rising pregnancy hormones.  Good Luck to you!

  • I agree, the darkness of the line is dependent on how high your HCG levels are and if you are less then six weeks those levels would still be low. They are rising daily and will take the largest leaps after the six week mark, so don't think anything of it!! Congratulations!!
