@soralette I’m sorry! That’s so scary! Not that it’ll make you less worried but remember it’s totally normal to spot, and rusty-brown sounds like old blood. (And kinda like a country singer) I know that in every pregnancy I’ve had an extra “sac” that they always label a bleed or vanishing twin. When I have spotted it was that old brown color. I’m thinking about you and hoping you’re able to get answers ASAP. Keep us posted! 💓
@soralette Praying for you hard. The good news is that spotting CAN be completely normally and some people spot the whole time. So really hoping that's what this is for you.
@melanier26 Update? Did you tell your MIL or mom first? My MIL is such a gossip that I would lie to her face before telling my own mom. lol
I'm jumping in here too b/c after two healthy pregnancies I had a loss last fall, which totally threw me! In retrospect, I had very few symptoms and low betas, which I feel should have been a signal. My lack of symptoms now is really freaking me out. I'm 4w5d, which is so so so early for major symptoms. I get that, but my anxiety level is still rising.
@junebabyh I got the results of my HCG tests back prior to seeing my parents and the numbers were increasing appropriately so we told them. I personally would’ve preferred to hold off a little longer before telling my ILs but my husband really wanted to so they know as well

That’s a such hard line to navigate when you and your spouse differ in when to tell people. We had to have a very emotional talk about it pretty recently ourselves.
@junebabyh - I am sorry that you find yourself here, but happy to welcome you all the same! 🤞 for your bean!
I'm finding it really hard to participate but I am going to try, so I don't seem like such a stranger when/if things do go well. My symptoms are very not there for the most part and its freaking me out, but that won't change anything so I'm trying to just relax.
As for when to tell it's so personal. With my first loss I had told anyone I was pregnant so everyone was shocked and side lined when I told them I was having a miscarriage and asking for T/Ps. With my second loss we told our parents and a handful of close friends, which really helped when things didn't go well. I need the added support and keeping it to myself is not good for me. We did the same thing this time.
@cmbt2@christis8@c.gardner37@junebabyh Thank you all! Sorry for going MIA; we've been getting deluged in snow here in Seattle (like, we're at 2.5 entire winters' worth of snow at my house, just from the past few days) and I've been trying to convince the RE to move up my scan. They wouldn't, so now I get to try to go in tomorrow through a layer of fresh snow-ice layercake. Whee!
I'm gonna spend some time getting caught up

Hi! Hope it’s ok if I check in with you ladies here before jumping in to the main board. I’m just not mentally ready since it’s still so early.
A little about me, this is my 7th pregnancy. I have a 3.5 y/o ds followed by 4 losses. My first pregnancy before my son was also a loss. I’m 4w3d today and just happy to be pregnant for the time being. I’m working with an RE and will be getting repeat betas tomorrow. Hoping I can stick around for the long haul with all of you, but glad to have this thread. You guys will get my kind of crazy haha.
Hello everyone.
Im going to hang out here until I feel more comfortable in my BM which by my calculations would be October. I have a 10yo DD and a 4 yoDS. I had a loss last year May. We were all crushed. I would have been due in December so saying our Christmas this year was very low key is an understatement. My 10 yo still talks about that baby so Ive decided to not tell her or any family until I feel 100% ready.
Hi everyone, ditto @allrightmeow that I think I would like to hop on here for a few before posting on BM. We have been trying for our first for 2.5 years, have had a hell of a journey including IVF and a loss in September @ 8 weeks. Most recent transfer was (1/14) a success and I am now 7 weeks, with first ultrasound on Tuesday. That’s where we found out we would likely miscarry last time so to say the anxiety is real is an understandment. Symptoms have been minimal, which of course raises the anxiety. I’m glad I found this page existed because I thought I was crazy for checking every time I wipe 😜
So I am officially past the point at which i miscarried last time, which started to make me feel less anxious, but then of course I had a miscarriage dream last night. Really hoping the 6 days between me an my first scan pass quickly! How is everyone else feeling? Hoping all the scans the past few days have gone well!
Hello all. I am 6 weeks and couldn't get myself to come to this board until my appointment today - which thankfully was all good! We havent gotten this far in a really long time (I have two children but we have been trying for number 3 for well over 2 years)- I have had blighted ovums (missed miscarriages discovered at 7 and 8 week appointments where betas and all numbers normal and no bleeding so shocked at the ultrasounds) as well as normal growth but no heartbeat detected. I am cautiously optimistic now when before today I was severely pessimistic since this is the first time we have a heartbeat!
Hi all, hope I can hang out here. We got pregnant easily the first time, lost the baby at 16 weeks, found out I probably have autoimmune issues which caused my placenta to fail, and then I got Ashermans from the d&c, which we didn’t find out about until 8 months of trying. Got the surgery to fix it and then got pregnant again! I’m on blood thinner shots and aspirin and plaquenil. 5 weeks tomorrow. I’m just kind of waiting for something to go wrong again - trying to have a better attitude!
