Chemical pregnancies

Hi everyone.
So I had a question about chemical pregnancies.
I had one in January, February, a miscarriage in March right after missed period, and am having a chemical now.
All confirmed pregnancies, just early losses.

Now I know it's the long term miscarriages that sway, but im curious if just the fact my body keeps doing this, maybe it is more likely to conceive a girl now?

The reason I keep losing them so early is due to my thyroid, which I'm finally getting under control (I'm not trying for a baby until it is under control. I didn't find out until March about it and this current pregnancy was a birth control baby.)

I know there's no for sure answer, just curious if in theory it's more likely.

I'm so sorry for your losses - but thankful that the thyroid is getting under control. This is one of the main reasons we see losses happen so it's all good to get that corrected now. Getting pregnant on the pill may also make chemicals more likely.

Unfortunately we can't assume that because there are MANY reasons why losses happen, and some of them are actually more blue-friendly. PCOS and some autoimmune diseases are strongly associated both with more losses and with more boys conceived.

So it turns out I am still pregnant currently. Just wanted to update. Guess we will hopefully find out the gender in 8 or so weeks.
I do feel I was very boy friendly though [emoji28]

Oh, so you thought it was a chemical but you were pregnant the whole time?? I'd love the backstory on that if you feel like it. These experiences really help me to help others in the future.

It is so complicated right now.
So last week I was getting faint positives on 2 brands of tests. Then negative. So I assumed chemical.
Now I am 5 days late for my period. Yesterday I got another faint positive. Today a negative.

So maybe I'm just crazy and they are indents (because they are too light for my broken phone camera, but pink and easy to see in person)

Maybe you got a bad batch of tests?

I am ashamed to say this was at least 7 batches [emoji51]

We have been having some weirdnesses with the tests about the last year or so, where people are having what appears to be faint positives that just never get darker. We are coming to believe these are some sort of artifact of the tests and are not a true positive.

Now, since your period is late, you ovulated later than you thought, and may still be pregnant if you had sex later on so you may need to keep testing!

The really weird part is my BBT is in before ovulation/before period range. I wonder if I just didn't ovulate yet.
My cycles are calender perfect 25 days and nothing has changed, so it worries me.

I did get the positives on 3 different brands however

Adding that the third brand was yesterday.
I did get my blood drawn an hour ago, so I will find out soon

Delayed O is rarely any cause for concern.

What could have happened is that some were false pos and then you conceived later (since you Oed later). But if your temp is down still you may be still pre-O. Glad you got bloodwork done, we'll know more soon!

hopefully I have O'd already. Going from a regular O day cycle 11 to now 31 is a huge change for no known reason

Update for anyone who may read this, I did get an actual convincing line today. It's not super dark, but it's there without even looking for it. It's pink. I'm hoping this is it.

I assume my ovulation was delayed because I have a new job, so im stressed and a lot more active now. That's all I got going for me to hope this is a girl because I eat so boy friendly.

I'm sorry, I'm not following you - what do you mean you were supposed to ovulate again Tuesday?

If I had ovulated as normal last cycle, I'd have been due to ovulate tomorrow, is all. Just expressing how strange it is to me to have such a weird cycle this time lol

Looks like my body is getting ready to ovulate now! That explains the missed period. I must have just skipped ovulating last month.
