Pregnant after a Loss

Nervous intro

Hello :)  I got a BFP on Friday at 10 dpo and I was really excited but now my apprehension is taking over.  We've been TFAS since October (we have a wonderful DD); I got pregnant in December but miscarried at 6 weeks in January.  I don't have a "feeling" that this pregnancy is going to be any different (a few friends that have gotten pregnant after a MC said they just "knew it was going to be fine").  I'm just really nervous and am trying not to get my hopes up in case I have another loss, which makes me feel like I'm kinda expecting to have one?  I hate not being more positive and I don't know if it's common to feel this way...to add to my apprehension I've been POAS since Friday (wondfos) and the line is still pretty faint and not getting any darker.  I know I just need to stop testing, but the same thing happened with my loss in January.  The lines just never got dark and I tried to dismiss it as the tests being wonky, but then I ended up having a miscarriage.

I hope I get to stick around and everything is ok--my first appointment is July 20th, which seems so far away--just wanted to introduce myself and "meet" other ladies with similar experiences :)

  • Congrats and welcome! I second the wondfos as they have been known to cause more stress than not. They are not very good at getting darker with HCG increase. Just take it one day at a time and maybe find some activities to keep you occupied till your first appt.

  • Congrats and Welcome!  This comes from a gentle and warm place - please stop the Wondfos - they are crazy making.  Personally, after a meltdown my DH had to hide them from me (at my request) because I knew they were making me more anxious, but I just couldn't stop POAS.  Big ((hugs))!

  • Thank you everyone :)  Your kind words mean a lot and I feel better than I did before I posted (especially learning that Wondfos aren't very sensitive).  I'm going to have MH hide them and no more testing for me!  I just remember after my BFP with DD I had such a carefree pregnancy--now I'm a worrier and it's only been a few days.  But today I am pregnant :)
  • Congrats and welcome!

    Welcome and congratulations!!!

    You are still very early. I had a -HPT at 3wks5 and only a blood test at my RE office at 4wks1 confirmed the pregnancy (I didn't POAS after the 1st one). My beta was only 50 that day, which probably explains the -HPT. I wouldn't place much stock into darkness of line on the HPTs.

    PgAL is very rough. I find taking it one day at a time, one milestone at a time, has really helped calm my nerves. ((HUGS)) and best wishes to you!!
