Early miscarriage. Should it give me hope?

[MiracleOfLife]

Hey girls, I have been ttc for over a year now and this month my period was late and I finally saw 2 lines on the test and the digital test said pregnant as well. I got so excited and my husband called his whole family to share the good news (that was really dumb and I didn't want him to do it, but you know how guys are) only to find out after the Easter dinner that my period has started. I went to the doctor today and the test was negative, she told me it was false positive but I know that I am never late and with 2 tests being positive I am sure I had an early miscarriage. Do you think that should give me hope? At least now I know I can get pregnant, it just didn't last this time. I am depressed and will appreciate any thoughts.... Good luck and baby dust to all of us ttc!!!

Ladies, I am so happy I found this website. You are so comforting and compassionate - I am so grateful to all of you. I feel stronger and more positive now. I think we will ttc right away - and if there is a success, I will most certainly share it with you! THANK YOU girls, (especially ArmyPrincess for helping all of us here)...

I'm sorry that you had to go through this.  It does sound like a chemical pg - I had one on 3/9.  AP is spot on - it's such an early m/c that people mistake it for a late AF (a positive is a positive is a positive, until it's negative is what my doc tells me).  So, if it was positive and then turned negative shortly after, you probably did have a chemical - for me it was a very heavy AF with intense cramping, but my cycle started closely to normal this month (though I've tested + on the OPK much quicker than normal - watch out for that if you are ttc again - I thought I was back to normal).  Relax as much as you can, and I would think you are fertile given this development (there is a silver lining in all of this).  Take care and good luck!

I'm sorry you went through this. I'm not sure why a false pos would be mentioned to you? I'm not a dr but I know that a digital hpt requires more hcg and I have never gotten a false positive with one if anything you would have gotten a false neg. It's possible it was a chemical pg. Meaning you are pg but the pg doesn't take and you get your period. It's quite common but most women never know. I'm sorry you had to find out but it should bring some relief pg can happen. Keep your chin up it will happen try to stay positive. For now try to rest and relax and take it easy. I'm here if you need to talk. Best wishes to you...

Thank you so much for your kind words!! It really helps to hear from somebody who went through the same experience... I wish all the girls here healthy pg's and wonderful babies.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. It's natural for someone to be so happy to get a positive test 2 times, after trying for a year. I think you should have plenty of hope that you are able to get pregnant again, that itself is a blessing and a step closer. I too went through a miscarriage days after telling my family that I was pregnant. It's just something that you don't really expect to happen. Good Luck!!! Keep trying for that baby girl!!!! With time it will become easier on you mentally.
