  • Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: Early spontaneous loss at 6 weeks in Aug 2021, MMC with D&C at 12 weeks in Feb 2022

    Status: Second cycle back TTC after our last loss, waiting for AF now

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I think I might be having a chemical pregnancy? (I really dislike this term, but I don’t know how else to say it). My hopes were up but only for a second so it doesn’t sting too bad. It was a real mind fuck last time to make it almost to the end of the first trimester and my body still thought it was growing a baby. So I am mostly feeling grateful that at least my body knew it wasn’t going to happen this time. But now I would like AF to come so I can move on. 

    I am going to put some *TW* pee stick talk in a box here (don’t worry, no pics!). TLDR: I’m not pregnant

    I was expecting my period on Sat or Sun, so I tested on Friday morning (11dpo) and it was negative. Then Saturday I had a positive on 3 different brands, but pretty faint, especially for 12dpo. I thought at first maybe it was just bad luck with indents, but I have tested each morning since with similar results. Now I’m 15dpo and the tests have not progressed at all, they’re getting a little lighter this morning, just waiting for AF. I’m clearly not pregnant, but it seems like maybe I caught the start of something that didn’t work out? It would not be surprising to me given our very scientific diagnosis of “old eggs” 🙄

    Questions? For anyone that has had a chemical, how quickly did your body get back to business? 

    GTKY: Have you ever gone out for Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving night? I hate shopping with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, and the only thing I dislike more than shopping is people, so no, you won’t catch me out doing any Black Friday things 😂

    @maggiemadeit, I'm sorry you are going through this. Sending all the positive vibes and hugs your way.

  • @maggiemadeit, I’m so sorry. With my chemical, I tested positive the same day I started bleeding. It took about 5-6 days for tests to go negative. Ovulation was super delayed (CD42 or something). Sending you hugs.

    I have two kids and had a loss at 11w at the end of October

    Status: I think I’m getting my first period today. I had a negative UPT on Monday (3w post Mc)

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I’m getting back into my running routine which I love. 

    Any testing coming up/any recent results. We’re planning to try again after the holidays so for now I’m enjoying not being pregnant for this period. 

    Questions? Nope

    GTKY: Have you ever gone out for Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving night? No, never had time for that. Also where I live now, all stores of any decent size aren’t allowed to be open on Thanksgiving. Which is great except it also includes grocery stores, and that’s highly inconvenient.

  • @catem07 I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s great that you’re getting back to your running. I miss it so much right now! 

    A kind reminder that we don’t mention live children here, except in the TFAS (trying for a second) thread. If it’s super necessary to mention, please use a TW (trigger warning) and/or a spoiler box. Just out of respect to those in the group who do not have live children and have been trying a long time, experienced loss(es), or are struggling with infertility.  
  • @sunshine134 @wanderlustsoul Thanks a lot for the support ladies, and thanks for sharing your experience ❤️

    AF came this morning. I am grateful to my body for letting this one go, and I am moving forward. I still believe that it will happen for us. We WILL find that last good egg when the time is right. 
  • @maggiemadeit lurkey loo - i had a "chemical" sept 2021 (started bleeding at 5w6d) i would say i bled a smidge longer than usual and my next cycle started after 25 days... so a little shorter. the next cycle also had smidge longer bleeding, but normal 28 days... 
  • @anniemarie887 Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it.
