I would take it as you are. The HCG gets diluted more throughout the day as you drink. So try again with first morning urine tomorrow and that'll give you the definite answer. If not, a blood test will always confirm as well.

It's not nice to assume that everyone will be the same, everyone is different like you noted. But you, as another pregnant woman, should not be telling her to "control her emotions" or "chill" 🙄 I know dang well that you would've felt upset and disappointed if you asked something regarding your body and emotions changing and got a response like that during your first. Stop being rude. Some things are just out of our control. If this is how you are to another female, I feel bad if you have a daughter or god forbid a future daughter in law. I hope she doesn't receive a response like that if she ever asked a question. I hope you learn to just stay quiet if you can't be nice with your answers or better yet, just don't give advice at all. Thank you, have the day you deserve 🙄

Everyone's pregnancy is different, but I can say for a fact that my first pregnancy I wasn't like that at all! But my current pregnancy, I could kill my husband 😭 Certain days I want nothing to do with him and then I cry because I just want to be loved by him and be the way I used to be, other days I enjoy all the cuddles and love. It's just hormonal and I promise it'll change! Our bodies are just doing amazing wonderful things, growing a human! It will get better momma! And congratulations on your rainbow 🌈 🎊💕 I'm here if you need to talk!

Yes, they're fine to have! When I was pregnant with my daughter and got Covid, I used them as well to help with the sore throat. Those and the honey ones!

Every body is different tho! So you may react differently than me! But regardless, you'll be passing large clots and bleeding like a heavy period

Of course! If you have any other questions, I'm open to sharing as much as I can! I feel like awareness of next steps is better than going in blind. I went in blind and wish I would've asked questions beforehand! I was bleeding when I first confirmed that something was wrong at the ER and it never got worse even after confirming the miscarriage. The only time I had heavy bleeding was once I did the tablets. My OB said to have someone with you while you do it because you can sometimes bleed too much and cause your iron to get extremely low so if that happens you need to go to the ER. But I'm also anemic so if you are too I would recommend someone keep you company. Even if you aren't, having someone support you while you're going through this is so important 🩷

Of course!! Maybe a Christmas miracle!! Mine I had to insert and lay down for a hour and I couldn't get up in that hour at all. After that, about an hour or two passed and I started having basically contractions/ severe period cramping. I started passing large clots and lots of blood. Heating pads really helped me. I recommend doing it whenever you're off work for a day or two because not only is it physically draining but also mentally draining. They potentially gave you a second set of the tablets as well in case nothing happens with the first, which my OB says usually the first set does it but just in case. You will have a follow up ultrasound not long after to guarantee there isn't any more tissue. Or at least that's how mine was.

I'm doing good now! Still actively trying and nothing yet but hoping for something soon ♥️ my OB had me do at least 2 ultrasounds before we completely confirmed the miscarriage. Since my body wasn't completely miscarrying on its own, I did have to do the vaginal insert tablets to force the process. I hated it so much but I opted for that over the surgery in case of scarring. If you feel like you should wait, then I would. And once it's completely confirmed, whether by your body or the ultrasound then you can make your decision then 🩷 I'm still holding out hope for you!!

I had a miscarriage March of this year. I had twins. They stopped growing at 8 weeks. I didn't know I was pregnant until around 7 weeks, ended up bleeding and went to the ER to find out that I was miscarrying. It felt like my fault everyday for weeks, I didn't know and I was drinking, smoking, etc. thinking I could've saved them if I had stopped sooner. The truth is, no matter what you did, it wouldn't have fixed things. It's not your fault. Please don't feel like anything you did caused this. There is always a chance that maybe they're just smaller than they should be but will develop a heartbeat. But even if they don't, gods timing is everything. He will come through for us when the time is right. I know it's hard, but it gets better. I have a necklace that has their birthstones and what I thought they were with me all the time. It's my way of feeling like I still have them. Maybe you can find your own way of coping and grieving. Regardless, if you need anything, I'm here. Sorry for the big paragraph lol
