Thanks to everyone who left supportive comments. I started my period today. I feel just so sad. I'm having my 3rd chemical pregnancy in the past 9 months. I just don't understand why this keeps happening. I got pregnant with my daughter relatively quick and had a great pregnancy. Now I'm just dealing with getting my hopes up and then seeing it all go away. Sorry to be so down. I have a dr appt next week for my yearly exam. Hopefully I'm able to figure out what is going on with me. Anyone else have experience with this? I feel so lonely.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. This has never happened to me, but I am sure it's really frustrating. Hopefully you will be able to discuss it with your doctor and get some insight and some help with getting pregnant. Let us know how the appt. goes.

I would definitely talk to your doctor about some testing. Three chemical pregnancies sounds like a little more than bad luck. I would ask to have your progesterone tested. Do you chart or use OPKs? I'm wondering what your typical luteal phase is.

I'm sorry this happened to you again, and that you're feeling so lonely. :::Big Hugs:::
I agree that this sounds like something that needs to be explored further. Hormonal imbalance perhaps?? It doesn't seem right that you keep having this happen.
My cycles are pretty regular. 27 is the earliest ever and 30 is the latest. Based on opk I ovulate around day 16. I'm interested to hear what the dr says. Dh thinks I'm a little under weight but I don't think so. I'm 5'5" and weight about 115.

I'm sorry. Hugs to you, I hope the Dr can help you out! I've decided getting pregnant is the least fun experience ever, lol. Take it easy this weekend!

If you were too underweight you might not be getting a period at all, or else they'd be irregular. It sounds thin, but it depends on your frame and activity level/food intake to say if it's "too thin", kwim? Like do you eat enough, exercise reasonably, and just happen to have good genes?? etc etc
i.e.: I'm 5'3 and 120 is where I usually rest, and I have a small frame. But everything is in proportion, and fit. I have a small hourglass and good muscle tone. So the number makes sense, lol
If I personally lost 5lbs, I'd lose my boobs/butt, and I'd look less "normal" for me. Which I have before; I've actually been down to 112 as an adult and I looked ill. But on other women with my height, I'm sure they look just fine.
If you're one of those lithe and long types, I wouldn't say you're underweight at all. At the most, like 5 lbs?? That's nothing.
If your lifestyle is healthy and that is what you weigh then you're just little, IMO.
When you were trying to get pregnant with your daughter, were you temping/charting? If not, then you might have had a few chemical pregnancies that you didn't know about. But yeah, it definitely wouldn't hurt to see your doctor.
