Another "Chemical" Pregnancy

mommytojj · #1 June 28th, 2009, 07:12 AM

Good Morning,

I'm new to this board. I took an HPT this past Wednesday and found out that I was pregnant. On Thurs. I went to the doctor for a blood test. I still don't have the results of the blood test. On Friday and Saturday I took several more HPT's and they were negative. I started bleeding on Saturday night. This is my 3rd miscarriage before 5 weeks. As most of my friends call them..."chemical pg's" I really don't like that term, but I understand it. Is there anyone out there that has had 3 very early Miscarriage's and gone on to have healthy babies. My DS is almost 2 years old. My LP seems to be 14 days every month. I feel very frustrated. I would love to hear from anyone else that has been in this situation or knows of someone in this situation. Thank you so much. I want another baby so badly.

Im so sorry for yet another loss for you. Your right, making a label on a pregnancy no matter how far along you are, seems to diminish the pain we are in. I have ony had a couple of these types of m/c's through out my life, one recently in Jan of 09. Most of mine have been after the heartbeat has been detected. I have seen several women on here that have had early losses before the 6th. week get pregnant and have a healthy baby in the end. You may need to have some blood work done and see if you have any blood disorders or low hormones accounting for these early m/c's. I would strongly suggest it as it is your third in a row. Most of the time there is a quick cure for this via medication to bring you to term. Im so sorry for your loss, and welcome you here. I hope you get your answers quickly.

Thank you for your reply. I get really excited every time...only to find out it didn't work out once again. I am hoping my doctor will take the testing more seriously this time. I have endometriosis and have had 3 laperoscopys. I also had a "botched" c-section with my son. I'm nervous that I have too much scar tissue. Hopefully my doctor can give me some answers soon. I have noticed that this recurrent issue is taking a toll on my marriage. It devastates me every single time. And...I feel like there is something wrong with me and I feel at fault. I know that isn't rational...but it's how I feel.

i am so sorry about your loss.

I had two chemical pregnancies and went on to have Matthew. So, yes it does happen....and when it does, the emotional pain from the loss does fade away. For me the journey was soooo worth everything I went through to get here. It IS possible.... stay strong and think as positive as you can. I hope you get your sticky bean soon.

Sorry I can't help with your question but I am so sorry for the loss of your angels

I hope the Dr can give you some answers.

I just recently had a chemical pregnancy. I also had one before my daughter lacey. I had been wondering the same thing. Unfortunately our risk of having miscarraige after already having one increases. Hopefull you get your bfp soon!

I'm so sorry for your losses, hon. My sister had several early losses and one stillbirth before having her daughter and son. Miracles do happen!

Trish36 · #12 June 29th, 2009, 07:34 AM

So sorry for your losses!!
My dr.s receptionist has had 7 early losses and went on to have a healthy baby. I'm sure that it will happen for you too. Hopefully soon!!! Good luck ttc again!!!!

Thank you for your kind words. I just got a call from my Dr.'s office. They are saying that the blood test was negative and that I was never pregnant. I had 2 "pregnant" on 2 digital tests. They don't seem concerned enough to do any testing. I'm so confused. I've never had false positives.

No matter what the doctor says it is still a loss all the same. The minute we see that BFP we fall in love with our babies. I am sorry if the tests were wrong and ended up causing you grief and pain. Either way we are here for you.

hoping4baby · #15 July 1st, 2009, 11:10 AM

I am sorry for your loss, I understand how you feel as I am going thru the same thing. I had my 2nd "chemical" pregnancy last month. My doctor said only if I have another loss will they do any testing which is so frusterating. Has your doctor mentioned anything about checking your progesterone? My DH tells me to relax and it will happen, easier said then done. Keep me posted.

mommytojj · #16 July 2nd, 2009, 12:21 PM

They won't check anything until I have another one. I'm frustrated!! I don't think I can handle seeing another BFP and then turn around and have BFN's the next day. Sooooooooooooooo frustrating.

I had three early/chemical m/c's before this pregnancy. I was referred to a specialist after #2 because of my age, but then had my 3rd right after I saw him for the first time. Mine were caused by a cyst in my uterus. Had that removed.
Not foreseeing any more problems with this one, the loss of the twin was completely unrelated (actually still carrying the twin).

Hope you don't have to go through another one, I know a lot of people discount them because if we weren't testing we wouldn't have even known, but the pain is still just as real.

hoping4baby · #18 July 2nd, 2009, 01:03 PM

That is frusterating that you've had three losses and they STILL won't check. So you have to have four M/C's before you will get answers? I don't understand the logic of Dr.'s sometimes...it's so maddening.

My husband thinks we need to take some time off from TTC and just relax. I feel like he does not want this as much as me.

I think when Dr.s don't want to help you figure out WHY you have a miscarriage it's time to get a new Dr. that is more aggresive in treatment and finding out why things failed.I hope you can find some answers.I can only think of two that can cause early miscarriage.One is a blot clotting disorder,easily treated with one baby aspirin daily(81mg) and may require a prescription for another drug I can't think of...starts with a H, I think.The other is progesterone which is a easy blood test that is done 7 dpo to see if it's too low to support a pregnancy,if it is then it can easily be treated.

mommytojj · #20 July 2nd, 2009, 07:01 PM

Thank you for the information. I am going to look for a new doctor. I feel really comfortable with her...but I don't think she is being aggressive enough. This has been a really emotional process. I've been in an angry phase for a while now. These early miscarriages have been back to back. I haven't given myself time to heal. I want this so badly...that I just keep trying.
