So getting HCG taken today and Monday and a scan Thursday. If I end up miscarrying or not, I want to wish you all healthy and easy pregnan...

Periods

How long did it take for your period to arrive post miscarriage? Mine took over 7 weeks and resulted in retained tissue so had a mva in theatre. I am 2 weeks 3 days since it and I feel like it’s coming but is that too soon?

Evaporated line or an actual line?

Hey everyone. I’m one day late and I took the test and I’m seeing this line but I’m not sure if it’s evaporated or a faint line? I had miscarriage 4 months ago so I don’t want to get my hopes up yet. Do you think it’s evaporated?

Advice needed! How to break my pregnancy news?

My best friend has suffered 3 miscarriages within a year. When I found out I was pregnant, I hoped that she’d fall at a similar time. Last week she told me she was pregnant (2 weeks behind me) and my plan was to tell her that I was pregnant when she reached 12 weeks. Devastatingly, she miscarried this week and now I...

Help 😬

I had a miscarriage 7.5 weeks ago at 13 weeks. I did a test 3weeks post miscarriage and it looked negative (it was pretty hard to look at so I didn’t study it like I do when ttc). I’m now 7dpo and saw this today. What do we think? Could it possibly be a rainbow, left over hcg, a dodgy test 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just don’t know.…
