So a bit of background, myself and my partner have been trying to conceive since April. I managed to get pregnant straight away but unfortunately has a miscarriage at 10 weeks. We knew it was going to happen since our 8 week scan.
Then again in November, I had another miscarriage but it was only a few days after I had a positive pregnancy test. I have been doing everything right, I have stopped drinking alcohol, apart from the first day of my period, I exercise everyday and I have moved to decaff coffee.
Anyway, this month, my period isn't due until 1st Jan. My period is usually 29-30 days every month but this morning I had some very light pink spotting. This would make me 4 days early and this would be my second period this month. I honestly thought I might have been pregnant, my boobs were so sore and yesterday I couldn't stop weeing. I feel so disappointed and each month is harder to try and get excited as I just keep feeling disappointed. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I have had a MMC this year. I have experienced longer bleeding since having it and my first bleed post MC started off with very light spotting so that I wasn’t actually sure it was my period for a few days.
However I don’t see any mention of whether you’re tracking ovulation or not? Or whether you’ve done a HPT? If you aren’t tracking ovulation could be the you ovulated earlier this cycle, hence earlier period. Could be that your cycle ends up successful as it’s not unheard of for people to spot leading up to their expected period and then test positive. Could just be that your body is regulating post CP. either way, doing a test in the next couple of days will give you the answer.
Thank you so much. I know I just have to wait it out but the waiting part is the hardest
Yep. Trying since January 2024. Chemical pregnancies in June 2024, March 2025 and most recently December 2025. So it’s taken us several months in between conceptions to actually get pregnant again but I can’t seem to make it past 6 weeks when I am. It sucks. I am starting IVF in February though, so that might un cover some issues or at least get some embryos in the bank so I’m trying to see it as a productive step forward. Was really hoping the latest positive test meant we were going to one of those couples who gets their miracle right before starting IVF, but alas it was not meant to be that way. I like to think (hope) that all of us on this thread will look back at this time of our lives and realise it was all worth it.
Yeah it's really hard. I think the waiting is the hardest part too. I have learnt to try and not get my hopes up too much but it's pretty all consuming
I had something similar but with a happy ending. I conceived right away but had a 7 week loss and then 6 months later had a CP. I got pregnant with my daughter thr next cycle after that. I hope you have a similar happy end.
I am so happy you got your happy ending
Started trying oct 2023, MMC Mar 24, miscarriage May 24. fertility tests & treatment followed by miscarriage May 2025.
Have you stopped trying now? I am sorry to hear this.
Spotting is common but if it’s out of the ordinary for you it could indicate something else, like a polyp. Polyps may also have a link to miscarriages.
Perhaps it’s worth exploring whether something is causing both the irregular bleeding and the miscarriages?
Sorry for your losses.

Thank you, I hope so too. The waiting is the hardest part
