Hellow guys my period 9days late taste morning finally got positive before test all negative 🙌

You literally said EVERYTHING perfectly. There is no excitement after trauma from multiple losses. “ all we can do is hang on for the ride & see what happens” Nothing guarantees anything. Currently pregnant with a most likely non-viable baby and will be 3rd m/c this year. 8th total. The hcg doubled perfectly until it didn’t…No answers and have done everything we can. Devastated.

I agree it's rough when u have miscarriages back to back. I'm worried after ectopic years ago. But I've been pregnant at a young age.... 15 exactly. I'm 27 now today I'm 9 days late... I also haven't tested.... nor do I want toooo.... I believe I miscarriage this year again. Painful. Thanks for sharing... I would love to get the wheel. ❤❤❤right on.... true. Due date goodluck.
