My LO didn't want to leave my belly. I ended up taking two kinds of pills and then had to have 2 D&amp;C's because of sticky placenta. After all of that my doctor said it was safe to try after I got my period again. I did, and got pregnant with LO on the first try. I would ask your doctor what they think. Hope it comes quickly again for you too, and the next is your sticky baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-how-do-you-and-your-partner-feel#post-99132 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:30:24 +0000 jocole 99132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I completely agree - better that it happened sooner than later. I was at almost 5 weeks too. I didn't think I needed to see my doctor, but I suppose, based on your recommendation, I should. Thanks for that.<br /> Congrats on your little poppyseed! Sending you sticky thoughts.</p> <p>@artbee: thanks for the support. and I'm sorry for your early loss too - that sounds horrible. I am grateful that my pregnancy didn't go on longer and I hadn't built up much more excitement. </p> <p>For both of you, how long did you wait before you tried again? What are the potential consequences of trying again too soon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-how-do-you-and-your-partner-feel#post-99085 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:58:26 +0000 heffalump 99085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry this happened to you :( I miscarried at 6 weeks, but didn't find out until 12. My husband isn't one to show his feelings, especially when I'm having such a hard time. He's usually very strong and supportive, the one to talk reason into me when I would say things like, "we just weren't meant to have a baby," and "it's never going to happen for us." Although I'm sure he was also very upset, just didn't show it. But now we do have an 8 month old baby girl, so it can happen for you too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-how-do-you-and-your-partner-feel#post-99081 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:54:27 +0000 MamaMoose 99081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is pretty much what happened to me. I lost the pregnancy at 4.5 weeks. It's a really scary and horrible thing to go through. But your body just knew something wasn't right, and as much as it sucks... better it have it happen very quickly then later on in the pregnancy. I'm currently pregnant again. Only 4w2d but I just had blood work yesterday and my doctor thinks things are looking good so there is definitely hope. </p> <p>I will say though you should go in and see your doctor. They will want to do blood work on you to make sure the pregnancy completely goes away on it's own and that you don't need a D&amp;C. They will also likely want you to wait through one normal cycle. So even though it happened really quickly, do call your doctor and let them know what's up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-how-do-you-and-your-partner-feel#post-99056 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:23:59 +0000 jocole 99056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday I found out I had a chemical pregnancy. I was pregnant for a hot minute there, but something was wrong and my body decided that it just wasn't going to work out.<br /> I had taken a few pregnancy tests before I expected my period and they came in positive. Then when my period was one day late... then two.. I finally started to believe this might the happening. But morning number three came, and with it, my period.</p> <p>I'm feeling OK about the whole thing. The silver lining is that I know now that I'm ovulating and can get pregnant. I was sad for about a day, but I realize now that this doesn't really change anything in terms of the big picture. We'll just push on to next month.</p> <p>My husband is taking it a bit harder - he was so excited about all the milestones we were looking forward to. Plus, he seems worried about my health. I've reassured him that I'm perfectly healthy and that this was probably the safest thing to have happen - if the pregnancy were to go on longer, then we might have run into more serious issues.</p> <p>I know that this type of thing is very common - so much so that people often don't even know it's happened. Have you experienced it? What kinds of effects did it have on you and your partner? Did it change your plans? or was it just another bump in the road? </p>
