Trying to Conceive Discussion Forum

Reply by wanting#4 » May. 5, 2012 1:09pm I thought the chemical pregnancies were pinpointed due to women testing early (way before AF was due like 9-12DPO) and then when AF did come on time that is how it was determined a chemical??? Maybe I am wrong...but my assumption/opinion is that is AF is due and not here and you got a + then you should be good hun :-) Good luck! Report	wanting#4 Posts: 7

But for all intents and purposes, the exact day doesn't matter much in terms of whether the pregnancy is viable (you can have an early loss at 4 or 5 or 6 weeks and the difference is only in the name- it doesn't make it any less disappointing to the mom). To the original poster, (((hugs))) I went through the same thing- had 1 baby, no problem, and then it took 9 months of trying to conceive our 2nd (daughter was about 2 like yours, too). Then I m/c at 5 weeks. Then I got pg the very next cycle and carried a healthy girl! I was nervous about m/c till 10 wks, though. Report	imatestingfool Posts: 14
Reply by jesssienna » May. 17, 2012 1:20pm I am in the exact same boat this month. I have a daughter who is 12 and me and my husband have been trying since june 2010for our second. Got pregnant in april 2011 and sadly misscarried on may 2011. And then in October had a chemical. I just found out i am pregnant exactly a year after the first m/c and altoughi need to be excited i am so nervous. I really feel what you are going through. I talk to my gyno friend who said just because you had mc or mmc doesnt mean you will have it again and aLso nothing to do with chemical pregnancies as each pregnancy is different. Which made me feel a little better. she also said as long as nosign of period or any spotting you should enjoy being pregnant. I know its easy said then done. one other thing i did this month as well rang the doctor as soon as i found out i was pregnant and as he knew my history he referred me to early scanning unit so in two weeks time i will be going to ultrasound which is at least 4 weeks early for this country.(UK) he said as i will be then 6 weeks they should be able to see by then. apart from just not stressing and not going to toilet every five minutes to check if i come on i suppose all we can do is relax or try to. I wish all ttc and people are in our situation the best of luck and hopefully y full healthy happy 9 months. so sorry for long essay but i really felt i ought to share. best of luck xxx Report	jesssienna Posts: 2
