Trying after a chemical pregnancy

[ylimefulb]

Hi all,

I’ve been doing the LE diet for about three or four months. This last cycle was our first attempt, and I got my BFP on the first day I missed my period. I got blood drawn that day and the clinic confirmed my pregnancy. Two days later I began bleeding and a repeat blood draw showed my HCG had dropped to almost nothing. The OB told me it was a chemical pregnancy. She also told me to skip my next cycle of trying and then try on the next cycle. Is there any real reason to do this? Also, Will this hurt my sway? I started taking prenatals when I got my BFP but stopped when the pregnancy was clearly not going to stick, just a few days.

Thanks!

There is absolutely no reason to skip the cycle after a chemical and that is extremely outdated advice that was never for any medical reason, but because doctors used to worry about women becoming mentally unhinged after a loss.

Go ahead and try with this next cycle, it's perfectly fine.

Thank you so much. I know I’m not a doctor but I could find zero reason to skip a whole cycle. We will go for it!
