I’m 7DPO, about to be on my second cycle post MMC.
I have been doing great emotionally until the last few weeks.
Just about every influencer/instagram account is pregnant, all due in July/August/Sept and it really starting to hurt and make me emotional about it all.
I was supposed to be having my anatomy scan last week. I was supposed to be half way to meeting my baby. Instead, I’m praying for another positive test.
My husband and I haven’t been “trying” but also haven’t been preventing. But I’m pretty sure we’ve had sex twice in my fertile window and I’m praying for pregnancy. I tested today and idk why I did. It’s obviously too early. But still was hopeful for some reason? But I’m scared to test again. But I’m also one who can’t wait to test. But I’m forcing myself to wait until my period, or what could be 4 weeks. (I’m an early tester… all my pregnancies I found out at 3.5 weeks ����♀️)
Anyways. Thanks for reading this far. This freaking sucks.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m 7dpo and lost my second baby two days after Christmas. We tried/not tried, having sex twice in my fertile window. I am so sad about all the posts on social media about these summer babies. It truly feels like everyone is having a baby this summer. I’m also a very early tester and going out of town tomorrow for a spa weekend so I want to wait to test but also want to test before I leave just in case? Anyways I know this whole thing feels the most lonely but you’re not alone.

@suprisebabynumbertwo,

hey friend! I’m in your exact same shoes. I had a Mmc in January and prayyyyyed I would be pregnant before my period came back. I was not and here I am with you praying for a positive test. I am also 7dpo and tested today. I thought maybe there was a chance it would be positive but clearly it wasn’t. Don’t lose hope- I don’t feel hopeful but I refuse to lose hope!
I can’t resist testing either. sending you hugs. What can we do to make it 3 more days ��

@suprisebabynumbertwo,
I just commented above saying how I’m tired of find out I’m pregnant so early! Lol! Like why can’t I find out at 6 weeks like most normal people?!
I’m so sorry you’re in my exact shoes. It’s so freaking awful. I prayed so hard to be pregnant before getting my period but I’m reminding myself it’s Gods timing and not just mine. My sister and I would’ve had a due date like 3 days apart, so maybe it’s for the best so they don’t share a birthday lol that’s if I get pregnant this cycle.
I don’t think I should test tomorrow but I have a feeling I will anyway. I have to keep my mind off of it! Haha

@LBMJ62,
awee I hate that about you and your sister too. I’m sure that even makes it more difficult seeing her progress and you should be with her. ❤️�� You are so right- God is in control. It’s his timing. Praying for you and all the women here ttc this month.
It’s weird like testing almost has me mourning what should have been because I’m having to do this again. Hugs! You aren’t alone!

Update: I tested �� 9DPO. I couldn’t keep myself. And got the FAINTEST positive!!!
I thought I’d be more emotional after my 9w loss but I think I’m just skeptical.
Praying for a sticky baby and we get to meet this one earthside ����

Because right now I’m carrying our rainbow baby!! Eeek. Trying not to be overcome with what ifs and worry! Just thankful to be pregnant again and praying for a healthy baby!!!

I’m on my trip, didn’t test before I left nor do I have a test with me, and have fomo lol. I don’t think I’m positive so I didn’t want to waste a test. Congrats girls!
