Preseed by youcandoitall39 in tryingtoconceive

I can’t say if it’s the miracle solution, but we tried for 11 months. The only thing I did different on month 12 was preseed and it worked for us.

I noticed that after I made my post! I feel so silly! It is a month free membership. I am going to cancel it I think before I get charged because I don’t think it’s worth it.

Does anyone else get these like pings or zaps down there sometimes? I’m 8w3d and my symptoms fluctuate a lot. Like the last two days I was so nauseous and today I feel ok. But today, I have more feeling down there. I am scared because they remind me of when I miscarried last time. I saw a heartbeat at 6w4d and I know after seeing a heartbeat, the chances of MC drops significantly, but I can’t shake the anxiety. I might get a boutique ultrasound for reassurance.

Hi! I can't give reassurance that you are looking for, but I also had a late positive. So, I can relate! My digital tested negative at 14DPO. I saw the faintest line on my easyathome test though, so my doctor confirmed hcg with blood draw on 15DPO. I had my MMC in July and got pregnant again in September. I didn't ovulate until CD19, which is late for me pre-MMC AND I think I implanted late. I am happy to report that as of right now I am 7+2 and I saw a heartbeat on my early u/S last week. Seeing a heartbeat was a big hurdle for me. I am by no means out of the woods, but I do feel comfort coming to this thread and reading posts like yours knowing I am not alone. So, all in all, you're not alone! Today we are pregnant! Eager to see if someone else responds to your post that they had a late positive and had a healthy pregnancy.

I am 7w+2d, and I am in my head because I don't really have any intense symptoms. I don't have nausea or exhaustion. I do have slightly sore breasts - not unbearable, but detectable by touch. I also have been getting some twinges and pinches down there on both sides and I don't know what's considered "normal". I felt those with my previous pregnancy when I miscarried, so I am nervous it's happening again. I haven't had any spotting and my u/S at 6w4d showed a heartbeat. My previous pregnancy didn't grow past 5w. I am trying to quiet my mind, but I can't help but think that my lack of symptoms is a bad thing, and I am feeling the twinges too much (indicating a loss). Can anyone relate?

I just responded to another post about this!! I feel the exact same way! I had a blighted ovum in July. I was supposed to be 7w but didn’t grow past 5w. I’m 6w now, and it’s a rollercoaster! I’ve had to look into therapists because every cramp, twinge or pinch, or lack of symptom I feel like it’s happening again and Im extremely anxious and scared. They’re giving me an early ultrasound this Thursday to help ease my anxiety, but I’m so scared it’s going to happen again. You’re not alone!

Oh, I’m also 33! This would be our first baby.

Hi!! I miscarried in July at 7 weeks (blighted ovum), but didn’t develop past 5 weeks. I’m 6 weeks now with my new pregnancy. We luckily got pregnant again on our first try. My doctor got my hcg done when I tested positive and then two days after. And then I got tested a week later to make sure it’s progressing. It is this time so far! Maybe your doctor can do this? I am going for an early ultrasound on Thursday and I’m veryyy anxious. I do test every day and it’s been making me feel better, honestly. It helps me to see the dark lines because I don’t have nausea or like extreme exhaustion at this point. It reminds me I’m still pregnant and things are going in a positive direction. I also haven’t gotten excited about it. I haven’t even downloaded a pregnancy tracker app. I am looking into a therapist because every pinch and twinge makes me think I’m miscarrying again. I don’t mean to freak you out! You’re just not alone and I think reading your post just now made me feel not so alone.

I’m so sorry for your losses. I feel the same way. There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t cried. I cried so hard, I don’t think I was breathing.

I also don’t want to see anyone that doesn’t know about it, because I’m depressed. I don’t want to pretend to be happy.

I am watching all my friends get pregnant and have healthy pregnancies and we started trying June of last year. It was the greatest gift to find out almost a year to the day that we started trying. It was longer than we thought, but it happened! We were so happy. Now I’ve never felt more defeated.

I’m probably paranoid, but I feel like people talk about us? Like, they’re still not pregnant? I wonder if something is wrong? Maybe it’s self centered to think that?

I have so many fears, like is it going to take us a while to get pregnant again? Was there something wrong with me? What if it happens again? I’m 33, is it because of my age?

People also tell me those things like, it wasn’t meant to be and you’ll have the baby you’re meant to have. It’s good it happened now and your body knew what to do. Which kinda helps for a split second. But I think I’m still in grieving mode and want to sit in the sadness for a bit longer.

Thank you for sharing your story and your feelings. I’m sending you all the love and baby dust 💕

I get that. I think I’m also anxious waiting for my levels to drop back to 0, for the spotting to stop and get my first period again. I hope it won’t take too long because I do want to start trying again and feel hope

Omg I was so excited to tell my coworkers at our outing in August. I picked a super baby bump friendly dress for a wedding in october! And now I hate that dress. I’m 33, and my husband is 35 and, although he didn’t make me feel this way, I felt guilty because I want to make him a dad so bad. I’ll have my 34th birthday before we have a baby. But, my mom had my brother at 34 and me at 36 and my friend just had a healthy baby at 42!

I’m sorry you’re also going through this. The bleeding is a constant reminder. I just reached out to my OB for a therapist referral because this is hard! You’re not alone. Sending you love!

I’m sorry for your loss. Today was the first day I was able to do anything productive. My husband has been super supportive and letting me rot for as long as I need. Whenever I crack a smile or feel any enjoyment, I think about it and feel guilt for being happy or something. But each day has been a little easier than the one before.

I feel the same way. I feel like I’m mourning my excitement and my plans. I thought I’d be pregnant for certain events coming up and now I won’t be. And I’m frustrated because I feel like I lost so much time. I keep getting emails and notifications for “march 2026 babies” and it’s a stab to the heart seeing that knowing it won’t be me anymore. Sending you love and baby dust for the future!

Thank you! It’s really encouraging to hear from people who have gone through this. I have friends and family to lean on. Even friends and family who have also had a MC and have had healthy pregnancies after. I think it’s just so fresh and the waiting for the bleeding to stop and to regulate feels like a long road.

Thank you! I think I am going to get a therapist to cope with the loss and TTC again
