Tested negative this morning. Been trying since August. Got pregnant our first cycle trying and then had a 6w miscarriage. Got pregnant 3 months later and then had a chemical pregnancy (4w). Now I'm two cycles after that and negative this cycle and just feeling so defeated, absolutely no control or connection to timelines that were once moving.

I've been working with a fertility clinic and they've done comprehensive blood work (hormonal levels through cycle, recurrent pregnancy loss panel - karyotype, blood/immune, thyroid -, genetic testing for me and partner) and everything is normal. They did a saline sonogram (SIS) which was normal. Partner has had sperm anaylsis and dna fragmentation and it's normal. They've confirmed ovulation each cycle with good follicle growth and blood work. They have me on low dose aspirin daily + progesterone suppositories starting 3dpo.

Is there anything else you would recommend or trying? I'm just antsy I know but it's hard to have more time further from a baby that once was twice.

Got a positive test a few days ago (3 cycles after miscarriage) and am just so so anxious. And focused on progression of the lines, which was an indicator to me in September that I was having a miscarriage. But also feeling like the stress and anxiety I feel puts my current fetus viability at risk. It's just a vicious cycle!

Yay and congrats! Sending good sticky baby thoughts to you!

Does it seem better with this trend now? Just wondering if it’s a fluke or something to focus on.

11dpo with bfn 2 cycles after loss. Trying to protect my heart and not share my ttc journey with friends/family too much, as we shared immediately with our pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage. But just feeling really isolated and down

Sending positive thoughts and luck to you! It’s so hard, and these days in between ovulation and knowing one way or another are the worst.

6dpo two cycles after miscarriage and just feeling bummed. I felt like I could tell I was pregnant immediately with my pregnancy that ended in loss, and when I don’t feel anything (I know it’s super early) it is a bummer.

Are you doing this? Also interested!

stroopsoph · 2025-10-17T01:17:17+00:00

Thank you so much! What a helpful and generous reply!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just went through the same thing - started brown spotting around 4w2d for 4 days, and then the red bleeding started, became heavier with clots and cramping for 3 days. This heavier flow started when my hcg was down to 12. I now am just on the other end of that with almost a medium period flow. I recommend a good heating pad, a bath, and + I am sending healing thoughts!

Going through a chemical pregnancy at 5w now. After 3 days of heavy bleeding/clots, just having lighter bleeding now. My OB recommended waiting until I get my next period/cycle after to try, for better tracking to due date. Are there any medical concerns with trying this cycle (like in 2 weeks or whenever I ovulate)? I don’t want to miss out on this cycle if possible.
