Chemical pregnancy: even though an early loss feels like the death of a dream

I have had 2 chemical pregnancies back to back. A fertility doctor suggested “just wait till later to test” like that’s the problem.

Testing early doesn’t cause it. It makes you AWARE. So if something is wrong for reaccuring you can hopefully find out.

“At least you can get pregnant”

“At least it was early”

“I’ve had worse I was ... months pregnant”

all doesn’t help. You should not compare loss.

My fiancé and I want this so bad, and although both were early I was still pregnant. People may not see it as a loss of a baby but it was a death of a dream.
