faint positive after my mc 9 weeks ago. Don't know what to think
Hello. well I have had 3 mc this year. Chemical and then the baby didn't form and my last one was 11 weeks ago. totally stressed out as I didn't want to get pregnant right now. we have been so careful and I am not to sure when I ovulated and I could be anywhere in my cycle. I also just started my counselling to help me deal with everything. I am going to wait to test but the hope and joy is there along with a good dose of fear which is totally normal. what do you ladies think? should I let the bomb drop or should I wait atleast till the new year or what. I am so shocked I had my mc 9 weeks ago and plus my brother and his wife told everyone that they are pregnant. Almost think I should just keep t to myself and not tell a soul. What if it is a chemical

That's clearly a personal decision. You may want to share only with a few very close friends or relatives depending on how you feel about it. I always waited until 12 weeks before announcing to anyone because of the high likelihood for a miscarriage (in my case)? I like to avoid being asked how things are progressing and in the end having to tell everyone about a loss. Best wishes and sticky vibes!

Like Mozart said when you tell people is a very personal decision. Some people want to go ahead and tell everyone early and have everyone be happy together and then be sad together if it ends in a loss. Others prefer to keep it private till they're more sure of the good news so if it ends in a loss the grieving process can be more private. With my last pregnancy I ended up telling my mother and I had a MC 2 weeks later. I ended up being thankful that I had someone to lean on for support. It would have been difficult to grieve my loss just me and DH.
I'm so sorry for your other losses. I can only imagine the mixed emotions you must be having over this new pregnancy. Hopefully this will be your take home rainbow baby.
Wishing you all the best.
