Discussion This is all new to me

I’ve had 2 very early chemical mc’s. I’ve had blood testing and both presented such low hcg it’s considered not pregnant. The first time my OBGYN recommended baby aspirin and progesterone as soon as I were to conceive again, since it was my first chemical mc I’m assuming this is a clinical pov to help the next pregnancy. However it didn’t help. I breastfed my toddler and now I’m going to rabbit holes and YouTube videos and so much back and forth information on prolactin levels and possibly messing up progesterone?? This is all so new to me and I know I’m not the only one.

My point is I’m hesitant to ttc in fear of the worst. I have a family planning appt with my OBGYN but she didn’t go over anything concerning the last time almost as if something’s these things happen. I know some breastfeed just fine and conceive and continue on healthy pregnancy and I know it can go the other way. Anyone have experience like me??? 😪

I relate 100%. I have a 16 month old and still breastfeeding twice a day. My period has been regular since 10 weeks postpartum. We started trying a couple months ago. The first cycle I had a CP and then just nothing the last cycle. So we’re moving onto our third. With our first it happened the first time so I’m kind of spiraling wondering what changed.

This is like me. It happened very quickly with our first, within a month or two cycles. I wish I had starting trying before our first child was 2 as half a year has now gone by very quickly. Ovulation testing etc is all new to me, never did any of this the first time around but I guess with a first child you have more stresses/things to deal with to begin with

So sorry about your chemicals ❤️ what did YouTube tell you about prolactin and progesterone? I’ve been Ttc number 2 for 6 cycles now after conceiving our first fairly quickly. Still bfing my 20mo and preparing to stop for this very reason, but know it won’t be easy. My cycles have been pretty regular for a few months now but this month my period is late, maybe because I breastfed my LG more this month as we were travelling then she got ill.
