Hi everyone,
I'm new here. First BFP on 7/30, natural MC at exactly 6 weeks on 8/12. This would have been mine and my husband's first.
Edit: I have deleted the main text of this post as it was pointed out to me that my request for specific emotional advice was better directed at the PGAL board. Thank you to those who directed me there.
I would like like to add a request for all to be kind to us newbies. We have all gone through great emotional trauma. Newbies may make missteps, but we are hurting and seeking community as much as you.
Love and luck to all.

Re: intro
Second, I would head over to the Pregnant after a Loss (PGAL) board for this question. Some of us have had 2 or more losses and know the feeling you are talking, but it's been overshadowed by the utter pain of suffering 2+ MCs. We are better equipped to tell you about the utter terror of learning you are about to miscarry for the 2nd, 3rd, etc time than about how to manage PGAL anxiety.
I hope you are pregnant with your rainbow. Good luck.
1) If you are having negative pregnancy tests, you are not pregnant. Those symptoms can easily be pre-period symptoms. And so soon after a loss, you can't expect that your PMS symptoms will be the same as pre-loss. Your body is going through so many hormonal changes after a loss, the only thing you can expect is for things to be a little unpredictable your first cycle.
2) it's inappropriate to come into this community and ask us if we think you are pregnant. We are a community that both gives and gets support. I'd recommend sticking around, posting in the TWW and WTO threads, and you'll see what I mean. If you ARE pregnant, this post could be triggering to many members here who've had a rough go of it recently. There is a "Pregnant After Loss" board that would be a much more appropriate place for this question.
3) Please don't use the term "baby dust" here. That term is offensive to women who've had to cremate their babies. I know it's used on other websites as a "good luck" thing, but please please please don't use it on the Bump.
I suggest taking a pregnancy test.
