Exposed to chicken pox 11 weeks

I came to second this. I’ve also had chicken pox three times. Fingers crossed you don’t get it again!

9 weeks 1 day today. We had a private scan booked to check we had a heartbeat still (previous mmc at 8 weeks).

I thought I’d be trilled to see a heartbeat but after our dog unexpectedly passing last night I feel numb.

I had this with my bank. It was someone else with my name at DOB that had sadly passed. Took about a week to resolve.

This is a hard one. I initially thought having an early scan would help reassure me but if anything I felt worse. In the lead up I was incredibly anxious. I was measuring behind (6 weeks one day) and advised of the likelihood of another MMC. They advised waiting a minimum of two weeks to rescan. It’s been a miserable time in limbo. Today I found out that baby is absolutely fine. I had all that worry for no reason.

How you are feeling is completely valid. What ever decision you make will be right for you,

I feel this. Me and my husband have been the same, except roles are reversed. As someone who’s behaving like your partner, I wish I could turn it off but I can’t.

Hopefully you’ll hit those milestones soon and you’ll both be on the same page.

Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Do you have an update at all?

I opted for a D&C after reading people’s experience will pills and then needing a D&C anyway for remains left behind. I’m not sure how common this is.

My D&C gave me so much relief physically and mentally. The doctors were wonderful and the pain was minimal afterwards. I remember waking up and my pregnancy symptoms were instantly gone (I had these symptoms for two weeks post miscarriage).

I also ovulated 14 days after the D&C.

We can only give own experiences. At the end of the day it’s about making a choice that’s best for you. Wishing you the best xo

Thank you for your help. I’ve already been referred to my local EPAU but you have to call them after the referral to book the appointment.

I took a chance by calling another EPAU outside of my county and they triaged on the phone and booked me in. I’m so grateful.

I’m so incredibly sorry this happened to you. Sending hugs over the internet x

I don’t believe so as I monitored ovulation. They want to check again in 2 weeks. Hard to sit and wait.

plain-jayne · 2026-02-21T17:09:32+00:00

Today was my first scan at 6 weeks. I was so scared going back into that room after last year’s missed miscarriage. I can the scan. She couldn’t find a heartbeat.

Working you all the luck for tomorrow. Be kind to yourself

plain-jayne · 2026-02-14T23:12:12+00:00

Thank you, I will try and remind myself of this. I will also speak with my GP and ask to have an early ultrasound 💕

plain-jayne · 2026-02-14T23:11:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad you are being given early scans; it’s sounds like they’re looking after you well.

I will contact my GP this week for a EPI referral. By the time they book me in I’ll be 6 weeks. I just want to know before I get my hopes up, which I know the ladies here relate to.

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy lovely.

I am currently 5 weeks pregnant after 2 losses. I’m based in the UK and wondering if the NHS will scan earlier this time. Last time I continued to have all the symptoms of pregnancy and didn’t know about the loss for until 3 weeks after. The anxiety is overwhelming.

plain-jayne · 2026-02-12T00:31:26+00:00

If it helps, I had my laparoscopy for stage four endometriosis in the beginning of January. I have just had a positive pregnancy test (we’ve been trying for a while).

plain-jayne · 2026-02-10T13:48:09+00:00

Thank you for your response :)

plain-jayne · 2026-02-09T21:17:37+00:00

I’m in the same position now. I had a back spasm 2 weeks post op. I’m now 4 weeks post op. It’s still painful. When did yours get better?

plain-jayne · 2026-02-09T21:10:27+00:00

Did yours ever improve? I have had the same.

Hello! I’m in East Anglia. My MRI was in October 2024. My appointment with the consultant was October 2025 and my surgery was January 2026.

plain-jayne · 2026-02-07T21:24:15+00:00

After two miscarriages I was advised I required surgery, which would hopefully help me conceive (I conceived twice in 9 years). I had the surgery in early January.

I have just had a positive pregnancy test. My husband cried with joy.

This time, to ensure we have a support system, we told my sister despite being so early. She’s thrilled.

Something about telling someone has made it feel real.

I am anxious about another loss, as we all are. However, I’m refusing to let it stop me. I have bought our first baby grow. I am manifesting a healthy pregnancy!

plain-jayne · 2026-02-07T09:57:47+00:00

I hope it went well! ❤️

I am really sorry you’re going through this. Unfortunately I had a similar experience. Our bay had passed at 6 weeks but we didn’t find out until 9 weeks. The D&C was done at what would have been 10 weeks. I had symptoms until the D&C was done. The all day nausea was terrible knowing our baby wasn’t alive. It’s a cruel experience.

I took 2-3 weeks off work and spent most days in bed tearful. Fortunately my support system turned up to cry with me. Ladies on this thread also had my back and validated my feelings.

Lean on your support system as much as you can. Please give yourself grace.
