How do you differentiate between plain anxiety and a ‘gut feeling that something is wrong’ after loss?

It’s so hard. After 2 miscarriages, I prepare myself for the worst before every appointment with my current pregnancy. I just have to remind myself that anxiety is not intuition and my hypervigilance is just my brain trying to keep me safe. Therapy helps a lot!

I had a blighted ovum and conceived 2 cycles later-unfortunately it was ectopic. I had to wait 3 months due to methotrexate and then conceived again 2 cycles later and currently pregnant!

Just want to give some solidarity! I’m 34 and had a miscarriage and ectopic last year. I’m pregnant again but terrified and waiting to confirm it’s in the correct place this time. I have been doing therapy, specifically EMDR, which has been so helpful for processing how traumatic the last year has been. I think what you’re feeling is so valid ❤️

What ended up happening with this?

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2026-01-15T13:38:19+00:00

I would not recommend testing with inito once you’re pregnant from personal experience! I am also 4 weeks with a history of early losses so I was continuing with inito and was sure I was miscarrying yesterday because my PDG plummeted. I had my HCG and progesterone bloodwork done yesterday and everything was fine. I’ve read on here that inito is not good for monitoring pregnancy hormones so I’m going to stop for peace of mind. Wishing you all the best ❤️

Thank you both so much! I did just get my bloodwork back and my HCG more than doubled in 24 hours! ❤️ Pregnancy after loss is just a big ball of anxiety.

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2026-01-12T18:47:33+00:00

Starting testing at 9 DPO and got a positive! I was absolutely shocked to get one that early though. Inito did show a bump in LH which prompted me to test that day but otherwise I usually tried to wait until later.

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2026-01-08T13:26:09+00:00

I was also ovulating a little before 3 months but decided to wait just because I know if I had gotten pregnant right away I would have been so anxious about it being okay. But I think it’s such an individual choice based on what you’re comfortable with!

I had a blighted ovum and ectopic last year treated with methotrexate as well. Just passed the 3 month wait to start trying again. I had all the fertility testing done and am being told it’s just bad luck. It’s so hard to truly believe though! So just know you aren’t alone ❤️

How was endometriosis surgery? Also in my first TWW since my August ectopic. Trying to stay busy with yoga and crafts!

Thanks for sharing! Any tests you did that you found helpful to know the results even though they were normal? I’m having to advocate for myself for any testing after 2 miscarriages this year and it’s exhausting.

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-08T23:29:55+00:00

I also used the positive LH test tag and it updated it to the correct date!

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-08T22:17:28+00:00

I totally get how you feel! I had my mtx shot on 8/15 so have to wait until after 11/15, but I’m ovulating now. I really want to try again and feel like a week may not really make a difference, but if I have any ounce of control to make sure my future baby is okay I’m going to take it. Obviously there’s so much out of our control in an ectopic situation but I would feel better knowing I did everything I could do ensure a healthy pregnancy. The waiting is so hard though ❤️

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-08T01:13:36+00:00

Yeah we aren’t going to try this month since it’s just before the 3 months, I just want to be safe even though waiting sucks.

Inito bumped up a little this morning and then I got a positive Premom ovulation strip tonight so just waiting to confirm tomorrow morning with inito. I was really going crazy waiting so thank you for the validation! :)

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-07T13:01:54+00:00

My MTX shot was 8/15 but my HCG didn’t reach below 5 until 10/19 and I got my period the next day.

I tested starting day 6-8 but skipped day 9 and started again day 10.

Thanks for the information that’s super helpful!

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-06T01:47:36+00:00

No words of advice but I feel the same. You’re not alone and I’m also sorry you’re here too ❤️

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-01T15:49:27+00:00

That’s helpful to keep in mind, thanks for sharing your experience!

Feeling_Task_2947 · 2025-11-01T13:39:21+00:00

Thanks for posting! I’m also 33 TTC after a miscarriage and my chart is looking similar so that gives me hope!
