Hi, just an update, so we got positive pregnancy test on day 7 a very faint line that gave me so much hope, I didn’t want to share it here in case some were getting negative result but unfortunately my faint line has completely disappeared on day 13, it was a PGS frozen transfer and I honestly thought this time we will make it.....

This was a lesson for me to never ever test early because you never know....

Good luck to all of you ❤️

Honestly I'm experiencing all sort with this bloody journey, hope you are at a better place in life now xx

in reply to Mara84

We are okay thank you it happened 3 years ago. 13 months after & 2 more surgeries to treat my endo we conceived our 14 month old daughter & I’m 6 weeks 3 days I won’t get excited till the 12 week scan ( due same time as we were with the chemical) hope that can offer some hope that just because you have a chemical pregnancy doesn’t mean another pregnancy wouldn’t be successful.

We were bloody determined not to give up & fought. It was so hard after the loss but we took the positive that we managed to conceive in 6 years of not managing to even for a short time. It was definitely the worst blow on our long struggle felt like a big slap in the face!

It will get a little easier each day ( you never forget the loss but learn to live with it) time is a healer. Give yourselves as much time as you need it & don’t expect too much from yourself it’s early days. Treat yourselves - I treated myself to all the things I couldn’t do pregnant. 🥂

I hope you have plenty of support xxx

Thank you for sharing your story with me, I’m so happy to hear your family expanding and congratulations on your pregnancy.

You know I had experience lost before, had two missed miscarriages that’s why we decided to move in to ivf and PGS testing... maybe that’s why I thought this time everything will be just great.

At the moment it still hurts to think of a glass of wine, so silly that today I found myself ordering all the vitamins needed help us to conceive naturally...

Thank you again and I do hope everything goes smoothly for you and your family xx

in reply to Mara84

Thank you it’s been a tough journey but glad we didn’t give up.

I’m so sorry I didn’t know. How awful for you. It’s horrible enough to go through once let alone three times. I’m so very sorry. It’s just not fair.

It’s not silly for not wanting to give up on your dream it’s completely understandable.

Have you been referred for miscarriage investigations? I think after 3 they should refer you.

Have you tried prednisone ( low dose steroid) low dose aspirin? I take prednisone & progesterone from positive test till 12 weeks. I swear they both made a difference & kept my daughter safe- the first pregnancy it took the drs a few days to sort out prescriptions & receptionist were useless didn’t tell me 🙄 by which point pregnancy was lost...

I have heard after a miscarriage you are extra fertile so providing all content has gone ( usually does with a chemical ) you’d been fine to try again if you are mentally ok with it. xxx

Hi dear, after my second missed miscarriage, I went recurrent miscarriage clinic and did all the possible test, also sent the pregnancy tissue to the lab for test... the only thing we found out was that my little baby girl has turner syndrome and thats why I had the missed miscarriage. After my husband and I did CarrierMatch test to find out if we have any genetic disorders and nothing! thats why we were suggested to do PGS ...

Long journey and I hope one day happy ending for all of us ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear you experience the same thing... I'm really interested to find out what went wrong... if you have any information please share with me , I understand that anyone is different but trying to understand it before I'll go for a review... hope you are better dear xxx

I havent really discovered a reason for my loses apart from my progesterone levels werent high enough so we have upped the meds now. Also Ive recently had an ERA test done to check when my implantation window is and I need to be on progesterone for a full 24 hours longer than most people. However this could all be coincidental for my losses as most chemicals are thought to be due to chromosomal issues but again I think that's just an educated guess as they honestly just dont know the reason these things occur.xx

Well I cant say for sure what works as we are still striving for a pregnancy but I definitely think the progesterone levels before transfer are really important. Thank you for your kindness too, its much appreciated.xx

Big hugs. It's so awful but remember to treat yourself to something amazing as you so deserve it. I've also just had a chemical with my second round and I've just thought that it's going to make me stronger for next time. You are so strong, don't forget that!!! Big hugs. Xx

Sometimes I feel no one really can help you... to be honest I can’t see friends or family whom I close to it make me more emotional... thank you for your kind message xx

Twiglet2 in reply to Mara84

Aww I get that and no one really knows what’s it’s like (except maybe people on here) sometimes though family and friends they can just distract you and be there and help without even knowing it. I didn’t tell anyone about my chemical earlier in the year until I felt a little stronger in myself but I did spend time with my family just for the comfort of them being around without them knowing why I was down xx you are completely right though no one can really really fix it for us xxx

I’m so sorry this has happened. We have had multiple chemicals so can totally understand how cruel they feel - total joy followed so quickly by such disappointment and sadness about what could have been. Sending love and hugs to you lovely. Take care and know we are all here for you Xxx

I'm so sorry you have your heartbroken... did you find anything regarding Chemical pregnancy? if you have any information, or advise please write to me...

hope you are doing better now xxx

I’m sorry I haven’t really got any helpful advice. We never got to the bottom of it and most consultants tended to just suggest the most likely issue is my poor egg quality (but I am 40 so quite a bit older). So we’ve decided after 5 unsuccessful fresh cycles to move to try DE. But I do think for many it’s a numbers game so worth trying again if you feel like you can. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Wishing you the best of luck with whatever you decide as your next steps xx
