Chemical pregnancy

Who’s been through this? I don’t know how to cope.

I would’ve been 5 weeks today, and last night started what I thought was implantation bleeding but quickly realized something was wrong when the bleeding worsened. By this morning I was bleeding and cramping heavily, and cried the whole way to work because I already knew. I went to my doctor today, who ran a test that was negative. They ran some other labs as well, but the short of it is I’m no longer pregnant.

This is my first pregnancy, so it’s definitely a learning curve for me across the board, but I was absolutely not prepared for this. We had JUST told our families we were expecting, and now I have to figure out how to tell them that’s changed. I’ve cried so much today over something I didn’t even know existed two weeks ago, and I honestly don’t know how to move forward.

Any advice? Does it get any easier? Am I likely to have this happen again?
