Chemical Pregnancy Symptoms

Hi All, hope you’re hanging in there during this very turbulent time.

I’m due to start my 2nd round of IVF at my next day 1 of my cycle, should start the drugs in early January. I had a chemical pregnancy in October, 2 months after my IVF miscarriage, and at the moment it feels very similar like I have the same symptoms as I did for my chemical pregnancy. Slightly sore breasts but nothing major, really feint menstrual cramps for about 4 days now. I’m due to get my period in a weeks time, I just wondered if anyone knew whether another chemical pregnancy might affect my next round of IVF?

Thanks all and good luck to those going through treatment this Christmas xx

Could it not be that you are pregnant? It doesn't need to be a chemical.

Chemical and pregnancy symptoms are effectively the same especially at that early stage.

It depends if you are doing a fresh or frozen transfer. My clinic make you wait one month after a chemical before you can start a fresh round

Dont panic yet though, I am hoping its actually the start of a BFP xx

It sounds awful but after the MC and the chemical I just have lost a bit of hope to be honest, and as it’s so similar to how I felt with my chemical (plus my low AMH) I think I just don’t believe it would happen for me naturally. My period isn’t due until the weekend so I’ll know for sure then.

Waiting a month makes sense, I thought someone might say that’s what the clinic is likely to say. Thank you for the positivity, I appreciate it. Hard to have hope right now, it’s been a glum year for everyone but I’ll try and not think the worst x

I had two. I had early nausea and period cramps started really early on ( about 4 weeks)Really strong period of cramps and early positive tests fading before 5 weeks...

With my first one ( natural) I had labour pain week 5 all night and then bleeding the following day. I didn't go to to hospital as I thought it was just the most horrible endometriosis pain I've ever had and the midwives kept on saying my cramps were normal....

With the second one bad period cramps for a week and then woke up one morning and no symptoms at all.nnever bled until I stopped the meds.
