I miscarried at 8 weeks on March 17, my very first pregnancy after over a year of trying (possibly due to low progesterone and estrogen levels). Started seeing an RE, who started me on Femara and estradiol supplements, and BAM! Got a VERY faint positive test at 10 dpo, then a positive clear blue digital at 11 dpo. My hcg beta was 59 at 12 dpo, and yesterday, at 14 dpo, my second beta was a whopping 202!

I should be excited, right?! But no, I’m terrified because all I can think about is that the same thing is going to happen. I’m on progesterone and estrogen supplements this time, so hoping that makes the difference. Counting my blessings as much as I can, but still keeping extremely low expectations to protect myself from repeat devastation.

In your second pregnancy after a miscarriage, how long until it feels more real and less like impending doom?

Also, found this article to be so so so real.
