I’ve been grieving a similar loss for 4 years. My baby’s heart stopped beating at around 14 weeks. Haven’t been able to conceive again since. My prayer for all of us mums in waiting is that we will all have a reason to smile again soon.
I’m so sorry for your loss! I had something called a “missed miscarriage”last year at 8 weeks. I didn’t know I had miscarried because I was still having pregnancy symptoms. My body still thought I was pregnant even though the miscarriage had already started several weeks before. When I went in for my first appointment at 8 weeks, that’s when I found out I had lost the baby. It was a crushing experience because I was expecting that first visit to be so happy, and it was the complete opposite. I had surgery, complications from surgery, was at risk for a molar pregnancy, but thankfully it turned out not to be one, and then got an infertility diagnosis all while over 10 of my best friends got pregnant. No one knew I had been pregnant or lost the pregnancy, so it was really tough to constantly hear people sharing their good news and all things baby while I couldn’t conceive. However, 10 months after my miscarriage, I have finally conceived again! I’m terrified of having another miscarriage and am dreading the first doctor’s appointment that’s coming up in a few weeks, but I hope everything will be okay. Loss is hard. It definitely leaves a scar. I grieved the loss of my miscarried child and my future as a mom every day until I got pregnant again. I don’t have any kids, so if this one works out, it will be my first. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I know how hard this is.

Hi Claire, I had a chemical pregnancy, positive test that started fading and I lost it at 7 weeks, my doctor told me it’s called chemical if it’s lost before the first echo or heartbeat. I was already being treated with medication for PCOS for a few months when this happened. The pure euphoria of the positive test followed by the heartbreak & letdown is still something that really hurts. I too felt alone in this sadness. The upside indeed that your body knows something is wrong and acts accordingly. I fell pregnant again a few months later with my beautifull babyboy, who is now 8 months & called Honoré! I hope you will soon experience the pure euphoria again! And I look forward to seeing this happen!

It's just happened to me. I felt 'off' last week, 1 day before my period was due, took an early response test, positive. Another the next day, and a digital test (as couldn't quite believe it!) and again, all positive. The only thing I did notice was that the lines weren't nearly as dark as they were when I tested positive with my 2 daughters at that stage, but I didn't think too much of it. Fast forward to yesterday, I had a spare digital test and thought ah lets take it just because, and I was shocked when it came up 'Not pregnant' this time. 2 hours later I started bleeding and that was that. No longer pregnant. I'd got so excited and it was ripped away so quickly. Like you though, I am so grateful it happened this early on rather than later. I am hoping to fall pregnant again soon, although this experience will definitely create more anxiety for me those first few weeks/months. Hope everyone experiencing pregnancy loss heals and get's to have their rainbow baby one day soon xxx
@@MarieIoane-xx7rxsending love! It's weird being bought back to this comment I left! I actually fell pregnant the following month, currently snuggling my now 16 month old daughter 🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience Claire. Last year I suffered a miscarriage which I had to have medical intervention with. It was physically but most of all mentally the most painful experience I've been through and I still deal with the after effects of the trauma in my day to day life. I am incredibly blessed that I already have a 4 year old, but the amount of comments on "so when are you going to give her a sibling" or "so when are you going to have another" when little did a lot of people know that I had gone through a loss which has/had ultimately made conceiving again more difficult. People really have no idea what is happening behind closed doors and now having experienced this first hand I completely understand and appreciate why no one should ever speculate or comment. Sending so much love and support your way 🤍🤍🤍
Oh Claire, I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this! We had been ttc for 7 months. Fell pregnant in February, and unfortunately miscarried at 8 weeks. It’s terrible, and you’re right, a loss is a loss! We immediately tried again and I’m now 8 weeks with our rainbow baby🤞🏼🤞🏼🌈✨ Good luck and baby dust to you!!!💕
Claire I am so deeply sorry for your loss, I was told I likely would never be able to have children. I could get pregnant but staying pregnant was the issue, due to massive fibroids etc. I didn’t meet my bus until I was 40, Nd we didn’t start trying until we were married and on our honeymoon. We were beyond thrilled to discover I had come home pregnant from the honeymoon. Sadly we lost that baby at 16 weeks. I went for my first ultrasound and the technician kept asking me “ are you sure you’re pregnant? “ I was flabbergasted, crying and saying “of course I’m sure, I’ve had blood tests done took 10 home pregnancy tests”. In the end, there was no heartbeat. I’m not sure when the heart stopped beating but that appointment was in my 16th week. I just went home from the ultra sound in shock. My husband was at work, I was home alone and the receptionist from my Drs office called and said the Dr had been sent my recent ultrasound and there was not a viable pregnancy. That was it. I was devastated and the whole demeanour around telling me was just absolutely horrific. At that point I had JUST told people at work I was pregnant, I wasn’t showing as I was a fair bit overweight so I don’t show until much later on. Anyway through my own investigation I discovered that a very high percentage of women will have at least one miscarriage and many will have several in their lives and never know. I discovered that society seems to have come to expect that women will just suck it up, put on their big girl pants and carry on. What a truly horrific expectation put on women, a loss of life is a loss of life. Certainly the longer you have to bond with this new life, to prepare for their entry into the world the deeper that loss is going to be felt, however, loosing a life at even 6 weeks is still a loss. I think that it’s not healthy for a woman to be made to think that if you have a chemical pregnancy or an early miscarriage that it’s easier to deal with. I am so deeply sorry for the loss I know you and Paris are working though. I will be praying that God will bless you once again. We would have dearly loved to adopt to add to our family but I was 44 when my son was born, and I was told I shouldn’t try for another child as there were many obstacles and complications with my entire pregnancy. The fact that there are still women out there who ask other women about pregnancy or not, and making these wild assumptions is just staggering to me. How can any woman not understand what a complete lack of respect this is? Baffles me. Thank you for being so open about what you have been through. I trust God will hear your prayers and bless little Honore with a sibling. To ALL Women....STOP asking other women about pregnancy, If they want children, when are they going to have children, how many children do they want...on and on and on. 🛑 ✋🏼, please women...please stop this very intrusive and hurtful act of guessing if a woman is pregnant, or not. We can make a big change if we all share with other woman that this practice of asking other women about their reproductive health. Prayers for you and Paris 🙏🏻😍.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm currently having one but still have not started my period. It's been a week since I missed my period. It's a horrible feeling seeing that positive only to get the negative a few days later. Your right, the silver lining is that it happens early. Good luck with your journey and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, Claire! I had a very similar situation happen a couple years ago. I was trying to get pregnant and got a positive, then after two weeks it was gone. It really threw me for a loop! I was really sad and confused. Thankfully, we were able to get a positive again a few months later, and now I have my adorable 18 month old son! ♥️ wishing you, Honore, and Paris all the best on this family journey. 💕
Very sorry to hear this Claire, thoughts are with you and Paris. So brave and emotionally strong of you to post this - I absolutely know it will help other women. Much love and sending a virtual hug ❤
Appreciate you so much for sharing this🙏 These things are so hard to talk about, but thank you for sharing your experience on the difficulty of pregnancy and miscarriages. I'm so sorry about those comments. Sending you love❤
As a member of the ivf community we see chemical pregnancies often because we test so early because we know we’ve been implanted with a fertilized egg. People outside of the infertility world often don’t know they were pregnant before the chemical pregnancy takes place. Sometimes testing so early is hard because you know you had the loss.
Lots of love Claire. I have grieved my sister who died giving birth to her full term baby. He died in her tummy at 8 and a half months. She had to give birth to him but she heamorraged and passed away as well leaving a husband and 2 little girls. It’s always sad when ever it is. Xx
so sorry to hear of your loss Claire. I also had a chemical pregnancy years ago and went on to have a lovely daughter. I remember feeling the same way ,like I had imagined the whole thing.
Bless you Claire,I’m so sorry you had to go through this.You are so correct when you say don’t ask a woman if she’s pregnant,for some getting pregnant is not an easy thing and it is such an emotional hard time when a woman is experiencing this.Many 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 to you and Paris,💗💙
Oh sweetest Claire I saw your insta and came right here to see what you were talking about. Im so sorry this happened to you. God works in mysterious ways. Sending you happiness and healing. Be well dearest girl ❤🙏🏻
I find it staggering that anyone would ask someone if they were pregnant! It is just waaaay too personal! People can be shattered if they are trying to have a baby! It is simply intrusive and rude! Thank you for the video. I hope you are okay now.
It is so very common and there is a train of shame as everything related to women that we can only leave behind by supporting each other. I am so sorry for your loss and wish you and family the best. Big hugs.
Thank you so much for sharing.. This just happened to me. Before Christmas I just knew I was pregnant I tested on 12-22 and had two positive had all the symptoms. The day after Christmas I tested again and got a negative then the next day started bleeding went into get the blood test and it was negative. My symptoms just disappeared over night as well. This was just in the past week I was so devastated still am. Thank you so much for sharing your story it is a very upsetting moment specially when you have been trying for a year 😔
Same thing just happened to me this week. I tested positive twice on 12-24, then i got symptoms.. the next day I tested again, i got a negative, then the 26th I was bleeding until now. I guess i will never know if this was a chemical pregnancy or just a false positive
Very sorry Claire.. I’ve had 2 miscarriages.. one at 8 weeks & one at 12 weeks ( which resulted in a D&C) .. I had 3 babies after my second miscarriage.. I had baby #5 at the age of 41….. I cannot begin to tell you how important it is to keep your stress under control. Please feel free to DM me if you need to talk.. you most certainly are not alone.. I remember how alone I felt & I was shocked how common this was yet no one ever talked about it. Thank you for being so brave! Blessings to you & your family❤️
Claire, my goodness, so sorry, but I agree it is a blessing that it happened sooner rather than later. I had a similar experience, right before I got pregnant with my daughter, she is 4 now. Be encouraged, and get ready for your rainbow baby!
I’m going through this just now and have found it so hard to find videos of people to relate to. Positive test on Tuesday and then bleeding and turned negative by Thursday. I could have only been 2-3 weeks and thankful it happened early if at all but so gutting to lose our first pregnancy.
Thanks for sharing! This very same situation happened to me this past week and my husband and I are still trying to digest it. We’re def okay but it was such a quick and brief wave of emotions. I really appreciate women like you and the original poster sharing their stories because I didn’t know how common this is!
I am so sorry for your loss Claire, sending strength. I had a similar experience when trying to conceive my first baby. I had positives for 5 days felt really strong pregnancy symptoms. Then the line started to fade. I went to the out of ours GP who did a test and it was negative. They implied that I was making the pregnancy up ( as I was so disappointed and wanted to conceive) anyhow 3 days later I experienced a heavy cycle. So yes its very common and happens , be kind to yourself and take care x
I’m so sorry, Claire, what you went though. A loss is a loss, but yes, I agree, let’s be grateful of our body’s ability to naturally detect an unviable pregnancy early rather than later. From what I remember from my embryology lectures at uni is that of all pregnancies that start with conception, only around 30% make it to full term. 1/4 women experience infertility issues, and male and female factors both equally cause that. We should never assume anyone is pregnant unless they share it. I had a patient who had such bad uterine fibroids where she looked visibly pregnant and people would ask when she’s due. I’ve also been “congratulated” when I wore a fitted dress on Instagram when it was just bloating. Of course some people mean well - but it can certainly feel like salt on wounds for anyone who is struggling or has suffered a loss.
Thanks for sharing ❤️ It just happened to me as well and I just feel really empty. My partner is sad too, but he is just thankful that I even got pregnant and is ready to try again. I’m also thankful for that, but it’s so difficult to accept that I felt the pregnancy so clearly in my body and then it was just gone.
I dont have kids and im not looking to get pregnant but as a woman, i appreciate you for bringing awareness to such important and sensitive topics. Now I know about this and I can support any friend who may go through the same as you did. ❤
Sincere condolences for your loss. How heartbreaking... and how brave and selfless of you to share your story so it could be helpful to others. When it happened to me at about six weeks (over 30 years ago -- a couple of years after the birth of my second daughter), my doctor referred to it as "an early miss" (short for miscarriage, I guess). It was heartbreaking, as I very much wanted another baby. Adding to the upset was the fact that, because it was so early on and I hadn't told anyone I was pregnant, I got little to no sympathy from others... and a few who clearly questioned whether or not I was "really" pregnant at all. It's real, and your voice amplifies the reality and the heartbreak that other women feel when it happens to them.
So sorry Claire❤ sending you love and strength in this difficult time. Everything will be alright in the end, whatever that looks like. Please feel better soon!
I’m going through a chemical pregnancy right now. I’ve had the faint line since 11 DPO and have been testing every day since then yesterday was 14 DPO and still a faint line. Then early this morning I had heavy bleeding and my heart just sank. My last pregnancy was my 1st and it was an ectopic pregnancy so we’ve waited the recommended time since surgery to try again and we were soo excited for this pregnancy. So now I’m going through the grieving process all over…. and it just sucks. My heart goes out to everyone who is/has gone through this❤️
So sorry Claire , but the good thing is that you are more likely to conceive after a chemical pregnancy . Same thing happened to me . The doctors called it a missed miscarriage. I think it’s also called a blighted ovum . I then conceived 6 months later . The doctors told me the pregnancy ended at 6weeks but I still had to get a D+C and I kept having positive tests for weeks . Crazy how your body can trick you ! Take good care Claire .x
After IVF transplant of last embryo after 2 successful pregnancies beautiful boys I get positive test exactly like your scenario! Weeks later have an internal scan to confirm the pregnancy as hcg levels dropping. We find there is a pregnancy sac (which is why you get the hcg level) but no heartbeat so no actual baby developing. Worst period ever after 7 weeks! Cried and cried so disappointing but like you said it’s the way Mother Nature meant it to be! I am super grateful to IVF for my 2 beautiful boys the third was just not meant to be! Good luck darling !!
I recently also had a chemical pregnancy. I took a pregnancy test on a wednesday , the next day I tested again and it came more strong positive than the day befor until on Sunday I was bleeding and went to hospital to check what happend they test with a pregnancy test and it came negative and they told me it was a chemical pregnancy which is very common . But I take it from the good side that it wasn't going to be a healthy pregnancy so thank God how the nature works . What comes in my life it's God's will . This also helped me not to take advantage of my 4year old
I had a miscarriage Feb2022. I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm nervous 💗💗 I hv no symptoms 13 positive pregnancy test and cramps and bloated.im praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby 🙏🏾🌈❤️
This happened to me with my first pregnancy. It was heart wrenching, but we were told it was a normal occurence in every woman's life. Less than a year later I got pregnant with my first son and everything went perfect, three years after our first sones birth we had our second son. I'm quite sure I went through a second chemical pregnancy right after my second son, but we weren't trying so I didn't get tested. I'm glad you talked about this, back when this happened to me, 25 years ago, it was known, but social media wasn't a thing, so we didn't get to know things from people outside our closest social circle.
Very sorry for your loss Claire. It is sad but we don't give our bodies credit, they are super clever and will try hard to not to allow a child to develop if there are issues with, say, the DNA, egg or sperm quality, or we ourselves are physically not up to a pregnancy at that given time for whatever reason. Usually for most people, they go along to have healthy pregnancies. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks when I was 47 it was very sad because I knew it was my last chance, but with hindsight the circumstances were not right and my body saved me from something that would have been hard for me to deal with at the time and for the 10 years that followed it. It is God's will in this lifetime I was not to be a mother and I wholly accept that decision of a higher power x
I’ve had a chemical - I thought it was dehydration but it was clear as day. I heard a lot about chemical pregnancies before I’d been testing so wasn’t a surprise but it was still a punch to the heart ❤️ had my baby after 6 months
Lost my first son because of placenta previa, had a premature delivery,was in nicu for a month and lost him this was 4 years back..but recently 4 week back had a positive pregnancy test again and i was over the moon..but yesterday i lost that again as it is sait to be a chemical pregnancy....i have been played with my emotions over and over again.... please pray for me and my husband to be able to move on...i dont want to go through this journey again.....
Just last week we had 2 positive tests and had told a few close friends to find out on Friday we had lost it. Out of 6 people our age who have had children 4 have also had early miscarriages, it really is so so common. It doesn't take away the heartbreak but I'm just trying to do the same, be positive and just to carry on xx
It is in fact very natural for this to happen few times in a woman's life. Mostly, you won't notice. This happened during my first IVF pregnancy by the end of 7th week. Your body is often smarter than doctors, because they picked it as a best embryo of the clutch. What I hate about it is the term "biochemical pregnancy". It felt like they tried to dismiss anything was happening in my body when all the symptoms were kicking in. It felt dismissive and disrespectful.
I did a lot of research and found the exact same findings. How our body checks for abnormal chromosomes and how our body is one step ahead of science. Many women have them and won’t notice, only the ones who are checking every step.
Thanks for sharing this haven’t heard of a chemical pregnancy hope ur all doing well I do agree to what you spoke about at the end I know where your coming from I’ve been there in my case I now have two beautiful girls after having 8 miscarriages and a still born so never give up stay strong sending you big hugs 🥰
I just recently experienced a chemical pregnancy, but I had positive pregnancy tests for days following my miscarriage. I had just had a positive digital test with the week's indicator, and then the following day I started bleeding.
Currently going through this 😢 a weekish before AF was due I took a first response test ,there was a faint positive line , the next day I had implantation bleeding ,so waited a couple days to test again and the line was slightly darker , my 🍈🍈 hurt so much and I was starting to get other symptoms ,I had 6 positive tests all together ,but they were getting no darker ,and on the day AF was due (2 days ago) My symptoms had disappeared and I started bleeding red around midday ,took a test and the line was so faint you could barely see it anymore :( currently sat here with an extremely heavy AF 😢 never been through this before , my last 3 pregnancies happend quickly and went perfectly ,I’m 40 now and got pregnant on month 2 of trying naturally so was so happy it was still happening quick.but no sooner had we got our heads around it,it was took away from us 😢 ,me and my partner both did have flu at Christmas time (my partner at time of conception and me when I must have just got pregnant ,and iv since read that flu is not good in early pregnancy so wondering if that’s what caused it ?! We will never know , But What ever caused it,it’s not a nice thing to go through 🥹 hugs to anyone who has been/going through this too ❤
I literally have taken 9 Home pregnancy text ALL POSITIVE last one was last night and the positive line was darker than the other faint lines…. But today at a clinic they said my test was negative I’m so confused even clearblue said “PREGNANT”
Hi I'm new to your channel I'm 8 weeks missed period and I had one positive the rest where negative could this mean I'm having an early miscarriage I'm just scared as I had an ectopic pregnancy back in 2019
I had chemical pregnancy of 4 weeks and 3 days but the following next month at 10dpo, it showed a very lite faint line.. what must be the reason?... Does the hcg still present in my body or am I pregnant again?
Hi, I have the same symptom as you. Can you please give me your feedback if you were pregnant again or just a positive test from the chemical pregnancy?
hi May I know, a few weeks ago on 1/3/23 I did a urine test and found it positive. A very bright double line. Likewise the second and third day.. On the evening of 1/3/23 I went to the hospital because I suddenly fell ill where I had fever and vomiting and a headache. after that, the doctor put in a water drip and injected liquid insulin in my body. And at the same time, he did a urine test. The result was negative. Likewise, after almost 2 weeks of my period being late, I referred to the doctor for the same symptoms I experienced as pregnant women. But after doing a urine test, it was still negative. But the symptoms I experienced were similar to those of a pregnant woman. Even now I have been late for 3 weeks. So, what does all this mean? Am I pregnant or not?

Oh Claire, I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this! We had been ttc for 7 months. Fell pregnant in February, and unfortunately miscarried at 8 weeks. It’s terrible, and you’re right, a loss is a loss! We immediately tried again and I’m now 8 weeks with our rainbow baby🤞🏼🤞🏼🌈✨ Good luck and baby dust to you!!!💕
Thank you for making this video. I just tested negative after a post it is and I’m shook. This is one of the only videos I could find.
Claire I am so deeply sorry for your loss, I was told I likely would never be able to have children. I could get pregnant but staying pregnant was the issue, due to massive fibroids etc. I didn’t meet my bus until I was 40, Nd we didn’t start trying until we were married and on our honeymoon. We were beyond thrilled to discover I had come home pregnant from the honeymoon. Sadly we lost that baby at 16 weeks. I went for my first ultrasound and the technician kept asking me “ are you sure you’re pregnant? “ I was flabbergasted, crying and saying “of course I’m sure, I’ve had blood tests done took 10 home pregnancy tests”. In the end, there was no heartbeat. I’m not sure when the heart stopped beating but that appointment was in my 16th week. I just went home from the ultra sound in shock. My husband was at work, I was home alone and the receptionist from my Drs office called and said the Dr had been sent my recent ultrasound and there was not a viable pregnancy. That was it. I was devastated and the whole demeanour around telling me was just absolutely horrific. At that point I had JUST told people at work I was pregnant, I wasn’t showing as I was a fair bit overweight so I don’t show until much later on. Anyway through my own investigation I discovered that a very high percentage of women will have at least one miscarriage and many will have several in their lives and never know. I discovered that society seems to have come to expect that women will just suck it up, put on their big girl pants and carry on. What a truly horrific expectation put on women, a loss of life is a loss of life. Certainly the longer you have to bond with this new life, to prepare for their entry into the world the deeper that loss is going to be felt, however, loosing a life at even 6 weeks is still a loss. I think that it’s not healthy for a woman to be made to think that if you have a chemical pregnancy or an early miscarriage that it’s easier to deal with.
I am so deeply sorry for the loss I know you and Paris are working though. I will be praying that God will bless you once again. We would have dearly loved to adopt to add to our family but I was 44 when my son was born, and I was told I shouldn’t try for another child as there were many obstacles and complications with my entire pregnancy.
The fact that there are still women out there who ask other women about pregnancy or not, and making these wild assumptions is just staggering to me. How can any woman not understand what a complete lack of respect this is? Baffles me. Thank you for being so open about what you have been through. I trust God will hear your prayers and bless little Honore with a sibling.
To ALL Women....STOP asking other women about pregnancy, If they want children, when are they going to have children, how many children do they want...on and on and on. 🛑 ✋🏼, please women...please stop this very intrusive and hurtful act of guessing if a woman is pregnant, or not. We can make a big change if we all share with other woman that this practice of asking other women about their reproductive health.
Prayers for you and Paris 🙏🏻😍.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm currently having one but still have not started my period. It's been a week since I missed my period. It's a horrible feeling seeing that positive only to get the negative a few days later. Your right, the silver lining is that it happens early. Good luck with your journey and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, Claire!
I had a very similar situation happen a couple years ago. I was trying to get pregnant and got a positive, then after two weeks it was gone. It really threw me for a loop! I was really sad and confused. Thankfully, we were able to get a positive again a few months later, and now I have my adorable 18 month old son! ♥️ wishing you, Honore, and Paris all the best on this family journey. 💕
Very brave of you to share this Claire thank you. Sending you lots of love and praying for you ❤️
Very sorry to hear this Claire, thoughts are with you and Paris. So brave and emotionally strong of you to post this - I absolutely know it will help other women. Much love and sending a virtual hug ❤
So sorry Claire. Life can be so cruel, let alone people’s selfish comments. Sending you lovely vibes xox
Appreciate you so much for sharing this🙏 These things are so hard to talk about, but thank you for sharing your experience on the difficulty of pregnancy and miscarriages. I'm so sorry about those comments. Sending you love❤
As a member of the ivf community we see chemical pregnancies often because we test so early because we know we’ve been implanted with a fertilized egg. People outside of the infertility world often don’t know they were pregnant before the chemical pregnancy takes place. Sometimes testing so early is hard because you know you had the loss.
Lots of love Claire. I have grieved my sister who died giving birth to her full term baby. He died in her tummy at 8 and a half months. She had to give birth to him but she heamorraged and passed away as well leaving a husband and 2 little girls. It’s always sad when ever it is. Xx
😢😢
Happened the first time I got pregnant. Broke my heart and I’ll never forget it!!! So sorry it happened to you too
so sorry to hear of your loss Claire. I also had a chemical pregnancy years ago and went on to have a lovely daughter. I remember feeling the same way ,like I had imagined the whole thing.
Bless you Claire,I’m so sorry you had to go through this.You are so correct when you say don’t ask a woman if she’s pregnant,for some getting pregnant is not an easy thing and it is such an emotional hard time when a woman is experiencing this.Many 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 to you and Paris,💗💙
Oh sweetest Claire I saw your insta and came right here to see what you were talking about. Im so sorry this happened to you. God works in mysterious ways. Sending you happiness and healing. Be well dearest girl ❤🙏🏻
Thank you for having the courage to share your story and help educate others, you are really brave. Sending love ❤️
I find it staggering that anyone would ask someone if they were pregnant! It is just waaaay too personal! People can be shattered if they are trying to have a baby! It is simply intrusive and rude!
Thank you for the video. I hope you are okay now.
It is so very common and there is a train of shame as everything related to women that we can only leave behind by supporting each other. I am so sorry for your loss and wish you and family the best. Big hugs.
I'm sending prayers to you and your family 💙
Happened to me 2 months ago and the month after I got strong positive results till now! Don’t give up! Lots of hugs.
Sorry to hear you go through this. Hopefully with the grace of God you will have your second bundle of joy soon x
Thank you so much for sharing.. This just happened to me. Before Christmas I just knew I was pregnant I tested on 12-22 and had two positive had all the symptoms. The day after Christmas I tested again and got a negative then the next day started bleeding went into get the blood test and it was negative. My symptoms just disappeared over night as well. This was just in the past week I was so devastated still am. Thank you so much for sharing your story it is a very upsetting moment specially when you have been trying for a year 😔
Same thing just happened to me this week. I tested positive twice on 12-24, then i got symptoms.. the next day I tested again, i got a negative, then the 26th I was bleeding until now. I guess i will never know if this was a chemical pregnancy or just a false positive
So sorry to hear this news, sending love to you Paris & Honore 💕
Very sorry Claire.. I’ve had 2 miscarriages.. one at 8 weeks & one at 12 weeks ( which resulted in a D&C) .. I had 3 babies after my second miscarriage.. I had baby #5 at the age of 41….. I cannot begin to tell you how important it is to keep your stress under control. Please feel free to DM me if you need to talk.. you most certainly are not alone.. I remember how alone I felt & I was shocked how common this was yet no one ever talked about it. Thank you for being so brave! Blessings to you & your family❤️
Claire, my goodness, so sorry, but I agree it is a blessing that it happened sooner rather than later. I had a similar experience, right before I got pregnant with my daughter, she is 4 now. Be encouraged, and get ready for your rainbow baby!
Thank you for sharing. A very brave thing to do. I hadn’t heard of this before. Prayers and thoughts are with you. ❤️
So brave of you for sharing Claire. Blessings to you and your beautiful family ♥️
I’m going through this just now and have found it so hard to find videos of people to relate to. Positive test on Tuesday and then bleeding and turned negative by Thursday. I could have only been 2-3 weeks and thankful it happened early if at all but so gutting to lose our first pregnancy.
This is happening to me now got a positive Monday clear blue digital and now saying not pregnant
Thanks for sharing! This very same situation happened to me this past week and my husband and I are still trying to digest it. We’re def okay but it was such a quick and brief wave of emotions. I really appreciate women like you and the original poster sharing their stories because I didn’t know how common this is!
I am so sorry for your loss Claire, sending strength. I had a similar experience when trying to conceive my first baby. I had positives for 5 days felt really strong pregnancy symptoms. Then the line started to fade. I went to the out of ours GP who did a test and it was negative. They implied that I was making the pregnancy up ( as I was so disappointed and wanted to conceive) anyhow 3 days later I experienced a heavy cycle. So yes its very common and happens , be kind to yourself and take care x
I’m so sorry, Claire, what you went though. A loss is a loss, but yes, I agree, let’s be grateful of our body’s ability to naturally detect an unviable pregnancy early rather than later. From what I remember from my embryology lectures at uni is that of all pregnancies that start with conception, only around 30% make it to full term. 1/4 women experience infertility issues, and male and female factors both equally cause that. We should never assume anyone is pregnant unless they share it. I had a patient who had such bad uterine fibroids where she looked visibly pregnant and people would ask when she’s due. I’ve also been “congratulated” when I wore a fitted dress on Instagram when it was just bloating. Of course some people mean well - but it can certainly feel like salt on wounds for anyone who is struggling or has suffered a loss.
sorry to hear this Claire xxx🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for sharing ❤️ It just happened to me as well and I just feel really empty. My partner is sad too, but he is just thankful that I even got pregnant and is ready to try again. I’m also thankful for that, but it’s so difficult to accept that I felt the pregnancy so clearly in my body and then it was just gone.
I dont have kids and im not looking to get pregnant but as a woman, i appreciate you for bringing awareness to such important and sensitive topics. Now I know about this and I can support any friend who may go through the same as you did. ❤
Sorry for your loss & sending you lots of love❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry Claire. Sending my prayers and love your way during this time. 🤍
I’m so sorry , sending you love and prayers ❤️❤️🙏🏾
Sincere condolences for your loss. How heartbreaking... and how brave and selfless of you to share your story so it could be helpful to others. When it happened to me at about six weeks (over 30 years ago -- a couple of years after the birth of my second daughter), my doctor referred to it as "an early miss" (short for miscarriage, I guess). It was heartbreaking, as I very much wanted another baby. Adding to the upset was the fact that, because it was so early on and I hadn't told anyone I was pregnant, I got little to no sympathy from others... and a few who clearly questioned whether or not I was "really" pregnant at all. It's real, and your voice amplifies the reality and the heartbreak that other women feel when it happens to them.
I am so sorry for your loss 😔 x
🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️ get some rest and take care,.. I know you’re a TH-camr but you don’t owe anyone any explanation.., PERIOD!!
I'm so sorry, Claire, that sounds difficult. Please feel better soon as possible 🌺🌸
So sorry Claire❤ sending you love and strength in this difficult time. Everything will be alright in the end, whatever that looks like. Please feel better soon!
Thank you for sharing , my first pregnancy ever was like that , very sad. I have a son (20) and a girl (18) but I’ve never forgotten that episode 💚
I’m going through a chemical pregnancy right now. I’ve had the faint line since 11 DPO and have been testing every day since then yesterday was 14 DPO and still a faint line. Then early this morning I had heavy bleeding and my heart just sank. My last pregnancy was my 1st and it was an ectopic pregnancy so we’ve waited the recommended time since surgery to try again and we were soo excited for this pregnancy. So now I’m going through the grieving process all over…. and it just sucks. My heart goes out to everyone who is/has gone through this❤️
Claire I'm just seeing this now my heart feels for you. Positive vibes moving forward loving prayers for the future of your family.
Honore’s b day is soon. Rejoice in that…while grieving what might have been.❤️
You’re right. I kept looking at him thinking oh how lucky I am to have my special boy.
So sorry to hear this Claire. Thinking of you.
So sorry Claire , but the good thing is that you are more likely to conceive after a chemical pregnancy . Same thing happened to me . The doctors called it a missed miscarriage. I think it’s also called a blighted ovum . I then conceived 6 months later . The doctors told me the pregnancy ended at 6weeks but I still had to get a D+C and I kept having positive tests for weeks . Crazy how your body can trick you ! Take good care Claire .x
After IVF transplant of last embryo after 2 successful pregnancies beautiful boys I get positive test exactly like your scenario! Weeks later have an internal scan to confirm the pregnancy as hcg levels dropping. We find there is a pregnancy sac (which is why you get the hcg level) but no heartbeat so no actual baby developing. Worst period ever after 7 weeks! Cried and cried so disappointing but like you said it’s the way Mother Nature meant it to be! I am super grateful to IVF for my 2 beautiful boys the third was just not meant to be! Good luck darling !!
I recently also had a chemical pregnancy. I took a pregnancy test on a wednesday , the next day I tested again and it came more strong positive than the day befor until on Sunday I was bleeding and went to hospital to check what happend they test with a pregnancy test and it came negative and they told me it was a chemical pregnancy which is very common .
But I take it from the good side that it wasn't going to be a healthy pregnancy so thank God how the nature works .
What comes in my life it's God's will . This also helped me not to take advantage of my 4year old
Sending a lot of love your way and positivity for what is to come.
Oh Claire, I am so sorry for your loss. Take care.
I had a miscarriage Feb2022. I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm nervous 💗💗 I hv no symptoms 13 positive pregnancy test and cramps and bloated.im praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby 🙏🏾🌈❤️
This happened to me with my first pregnancy. It was heart wrenching, but we were told it was a normal occurence in every woman's life. Less than a year later I got pregnant with my first son and everything went perfect, three years after our first sones birth we had our second son. I'm quite sure I went through a second chemical pregnancy right after my second son, but we weren't trying so I didn't get tested.
I'm glad you talked about this, back when this happened to me, 25 years ago, it was known, but social media wasn't a thing, so we didn't get to know things from people outside our closest social circle.
Very sorry for your loss Claire. It is sad but we don't give our bodies credit, they are super clever and will try hard to not to allow a child to develop if there are issues with, say, the DNA, egg or sperm quality, or we ourselves are physically not up to a pregnancy at that given time for whatever reason. Usually for most people, they go along to have healthy pregnancies. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks when I was 47 it was very sad because I knew it was my last chance, but with hindsight the circumstances were not right and my body saved me from something that would have been hard for me to deal with at the time and for the 10 years that followed it. It is God's will in this lifetime I was not to be a mother and I wholly accept that decision of a higher power x
I’ve had a chemical - I thought it was dehydration but it was clear as day. I heard a lot about chemical pregnancies before I’d been testing so wasn’t a surprise but it was still a punch to the heart ❤️ had my baby after 6 months
I am so sorry. Prayers for you. ❤️🙏🙏
Lost my first son because of placenta previa, had a premature delivery,was in nicu for a month and lost him this was 4 years back..but recently 4 week back had a positive pregnancy test again and i was over the moon..but yesterday i lost that again as it is sait to be a chemical pregnancy....i have been played with my emotions over and over again.... please pray for me and my husband to be able to move on...i dont want to go through this journey again.....
Sending you love Claire 🌹🌹🌹
This will have helped someone out there I’m sure xxxxxx
“Every Good Wish” to you 💞💞💞
I’m so sorry for your loss sending warm hugs to you and Paris
I’m so sorry you are going thru this. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks last month. It’s awful. 💔💔💔
Sending so much love ❤️
I’m sorry this happened thank u for sharing ♥️♥️
Just last week we had 2 positive tests and had told a few close friends to find out on Friday we had lost it. Out of 6 people our age who have had children 4 have also had early miscarriages, it really is so so common. It doesn't take away the heartbreak but I'm just trying to do the same, be positive and just to carry on xx
Thanks for this video!
I tested positive 2 days ago and today I tested negative.. 😪 I have symptoms of pregnancy & now I don't know what to think..
I’m very sorry for you 😢 Hope you will get pregnant soon and make your dreams come true ❤
It is in fact very natural for this to happen few times in a woman's life. Mostly, you won't notice. This happened during my first IVF pregnancy by the end of 7th week. Your body is often smarter than doctors, because they picked it as a best embryo of the clutch. What I hate about it is the term "biochemical pregnancy". It felt like they tried to dismiss anything was happening in my body when all the symptoms were kicking in. It felt dismissive and disrespectful.
I did a lot of research and found the exact same findings. How our body checks for abnormal chromosomes and how our body is one step ahead of science. Many women have them and won’t notice, only the ones who are checking every step.
Sending you love!🤍
Thanks for sharing this haven’t heard of a chemical pregnancy hope ur all doing well I do agree to what you spoke about at the end I know where your coming from I’ve been there in my case I now have two beautiful girls after having 8 miscarriages and a still born so never give up stay strong sending you big hugs 🥰
so sorry this has happened to sending you lots of Love.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
So sorry for your loss Claire, sending you and Paris lots of love xx
So sorry that you've been through this
I just recently experienced a chemical pregnancy, but I had positive pregnancy tests for days following my miscarriage. I had just had a positive digital test with the week's indicator, and then the following day I started bleeding.
God Bless you and your family.🙏🏽💗🙏🏽
Literally going through this after a 10 week loss two months prior. I had a chemical with my first pregnancy as well 💔
I am so sorry praying for you and your family
I'm so sorry u had to go through that, yes u r right.love to u xo
I’m so sorry, me too happy same . I got positive test on 2022 December but on January first week I got negative blood test.
So sorry for your loss🥲
Currently going through this 😢 a weekish before AF was due I took a first response test ,there was a faint positive line , the next day I had implantation bleeding ,so waited a couple days to test again and the line was slightly darker , my 🍈🍈 hurt so much and I was starting to get other symptoms ,I had 6 positive tests all together ,but they were getting no darker ,and on the day AF was due (2 days ago) My symptoms had disappeared and I started bleeding red around midday ,took a test and the line was so faint you could barely see it anymore :( currently sat here with an extremely heavy AF 😢 never been through this before , my last 3 pregnancies happend quickly and went perfectly ,I’m 40 now and got pregnant on month 2 of trying naturally so was so happy it was still happening quick.but no sooner had we got our heads around it,it was took away from us 😢 ,me and my partner both did have flu at Christmas time (my partner at time of conception and me when I must have just got pregnant ,and iv since read that flu is not good in early pregnancy so wondering if that’s what caused it ?! We will never know , But What ever caused it,it’s not a nice thing to go through 🥹 hugs to anyone who has been/going through this too ❤
This is sad news, I'm sorry for you both.
Dearest Claire, so sorry to hear of this sad news 😢. Sending you and Paris and baby Honore my love 🥰
Welcome to TH-cam CC there are more of these comments and people than there are stars in the sky.
Thanks for sharing. Love goes out to you. 💕
I literally have taken 9 Home pregnancy text ALL POSITIVE last one was last night and the positive line was darker than the other faint lines…. But today at a clinic they said my test was negative I’m so confused even clearblue said “PREGNANT”
Some brands are less sensitive. But could also be a chemical pregnancy.
Sending you all my love and support 🌷💗🌸💕
Hoping you achieve your longed for pregnancy.💕💕💕
It’s feels awful to hit the like button….. so hitting a ❤for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi I'm new to your channel I'm 8 weeks missed period and I had one positive the rest where negative could this mean I'm having an early miscarriage I'm just scared as I had an ectopic pregnancy back in 2019
I had chemical pregnancy of 4 weeks and 3 days but the following next month at 10dpo, it showed a very lite faint line.. what must be the reason?... Does the hcg still present in my body or am I pregnant again?
Hi, I have the same symptom as you. Can you please give me your feedback if you were pregnant again or just a positive test from the chemical pregnancy?
Going through it now 😭🤧
hi May I know, a few weeks ago on 1/3/23 I did a urine test and found it positive. A very bright double line. Likewise the second and third day.. On the evening of 1/3/23 I went to the hospital because I suddenly fell ill where I had fever and vomiting and a headache. after that, the doctor put in a water drip and injected liquid insulin in my body. And at the same time, he did a urine test. The result was negative. Likewise, after almost 2 weeks of my period being late, I referred to the doctor for the same symptoms I experienced as pregnant women. But after doing a urine test, it was still negative. But the symptoms I experienced were similar to those of a pregnant woman. Even now I have been late for 3 weeks. So, what does all this mean? Am I pregnant or not?
