First Pregnancy after MMC

Hey Bumpers!

I’ve been pretty hesitant to get involved in this group. With my first pregnancy, resulting in a healthy boy, I made 3 really close friends via the bumpers group and still talk to them daily!

But I got pregnant again last fall and then had an MMC and D&C late in my first trimester. Leaving the bumper groups (I was due late June/early July), deleting the apps, etc was harder than I care to admit.

I’m looking to connect with others though whose current pregnancy is after a similar loss…. Specifically an MMC where your body was still very much trying to grow a non viable life. The anxiety during this waiting period is killing me 🥲 I’m so scared it’s going to happen again.

Edit - grammar

13DPO, BFP but drop in PDG

I’m 13DPO today and got a positive test 3 days ago (VERY light line on FRER). My HCG strips are still sooo light and my PDG dropped from 13 to 6 today and now I’m panicking. The FRER has darkened and I have a solid positive line there…I’m just soooo nervous after having an MMC in November last year 🫠

I do have one child and with him I had high PDG at this point and even with the miscarriage. I plan to reach out to my OB again tomorrow… I have a scan scheduled for 5/19.

Just wondering if anyone had lower PDG at 13DPO but healthy pregnancy? I know the urine test vs blood work can be very different too.
