update- HCG levels halved miscarriage confirmed. Will now qualify for recurring miscarriage testing as I got magic number 3 in a row some I've had with Amelia . (4th loss in total) will try to get the steroids and ask about more progesterone and ask to see where my levels are in pregnancy to see if it's enough I've been given. Even if I have to get a private blood tests. We will continue our vitamins. I will wait till my next period ti try again 1- to allow all content to be gone 2- to make it easier to date the pregnancy. Totally gutted but won't be beaten. We will have a sibling for our daughter. I will sign off for a bit. Emotionally I'm drained by it and need to recoup. I thank you all dearly for your support you really made a difference in a dark time. I knew by not seeing the sac at 7.5 weeks it was over. Not a huge shock but disappointed nevertheless. I will try to organise weekly scan from 6 weeks as each week as with each loss my nerves are now higher. I will enjoy my wonderful family my Francesca is best blessing and is more and more looking like a complete miracle. The 3 amigos will be okay. We will get through this. Love you everyone on here. **********************************
Today I had a scan at EPU- no sac seen, cervix fully closed.
I then did a urine sample which I'm guessing must've come back positive as the dr got me to do my first HCG blood test today and one on Friday.
She said "why are you crying" I said "because I've lost another pregnancy " she said "we don't know that you have" She said she can't rule out ectopic, or my dates could be out out and not showing on scan. Said it was too inconclusive to know what is happening.
I'm back at the drawing board of waiting again to see what is going on.

Thank you for the reply. They are running blood tests and will decide what to do next. I don't have the symptoms of ectopic but will keep a close eye on it and will go to a and e if symptoms develop. I didn't have pain when I was examined by the gynae where it could be. I'm hoping my dates might be out as I ovulated later that cycle Xx
Thank you. The only good thing is I haven't miscarried yet ( I could still) I'm hoping my dates are out as I ovulated quite late on that cycle. Definitely a roll coaster. Said to my hubby it's like a game of where is Wally ?!🤣 Xx
Stay strong lovely lady! Sorry you are going through this! Hopefully your dates are just super out! Mine were with Tommy and my first scan they didn’t even see a sac even tho I should have been 6weeks! I have everything crossed for you! I had to have my hcg blood test done a few times every 48 hours to check they were rising okay so hoping yours does the same love xxx
Thank you I really needed to hear a positive story! I fell after my chemical but didn't wait to have a period just fell after and I ovulated later so I don't know if that could alter my dates? If I didn't have a scan I'd be feeling more hopeful- my cervix is closed and I'm still getting positive tests with strong symptoms. Hope the pregnancy is going well Xx
I had it this time too! Was certain I was 6 weeks but I do ovulate late also and when I went they only saw a sac and no baby so it was a bit of a worry but I went back 2 weeks later and it was there! But with Tommy my first scan all they could see was a thick lining and no baby and check my cervix was closed too so I have everything crossed for you!!! You might just get very early positive pregnancy tests like me! 🤞🏼Xx
Thank you. I hope so. What a worry for you. They said my lining was thin- it was 10mm? The cervix being closed is good as I haven't passed the baby and I've had no cramping. . My symptoms are still strong. The thin lining really worries me. But the dr said the scan was too inconclusive to know what is happening. Trouble is I've never had early scans with my other pregnancies ( except first chemical which all content was gone by 6 weeks) I've nothing to compare it to. It's all very confusing. I'm hoping as I ovulated later that is why the baby hasn't been seen yet - I surged day 16 ovulated 17/18 and maybe fertilised day 19- which could put baby behind by 5 days which I guess might make a difference at this early point. Xx
Hey Jess, just wanted to chip in here and say a lining of 10mm is not thin!! I'm so sorry you're still in limbo land with no answers.😔 Have you had any hCG results back yet?xxx
Sorry to hear this 😢 take care of yourself & sending u hugs it is a very emotional time. Hopefully you can get some answers or reassurance with tests either way.
I'm sorry that you've had your loss confirmed Jess but also glad you know where you are. Bug hugs, you're so strong and focused. Take care 3 amigos!xxx
