Felt pregnant for 2 weeks, now I don't

I'm sad. I miscarried in 2010 with almost the same symptoms as I'm having now so the worry and sadness is setting in.

 

This time - LMP was July 12, fairly certain conception was July 23, I have 24-25 day cycles. I started to sense I might be pregnant around Aug 2-3 (heavy/tender breasts) but didn't test until Aug 6 - and I got a BFP! So excited and happy. I started feeling gaggy the next day, breasts were very heavy and I felt very pregnant - and happy. Symptoms have stayed the same, even throwing up but nauseous all times during the day and breast tender and heavy. Yesterday - no symptoms. I tried not to think much of it but today, I woke with a feeling of not being pregnant. I just don't feel anything.

 

I have an appt this afternoon to have a blood draw and progesterone checked. Is it too late if I start taking progesterone today? They gave me progesterone in 2010, I took it for 3 days, then started to bleed heavy. I haven't bled at all but my heart is heavy.

 

I let my first miscarriage go naturally and thought it'd take care of itself (reabsorb) but I ended up bleeding for 2 weeks, got an infection and spent 3 days in the hospital. I don't want to repeat that.

So, thoughts? Can I have consistent pg symptoms and then not, and still be pregnant and safe? Thank you for reading.

I think it's entirely possible and I had that with my daughters pregnancy. I can understand why you are worrying and I hope all goes well at the doctors today.

I was feeling very much the same way last week - had some pretty certain pregnancy symptoms for a couple of weeks and then everything pretty much stopped. I was so anxious and worried and asked my mw to schedule an u/s so we could see how things looked. Had my u/s yesterday and baby looked perfect, saw his/her little heart beating on the screen and everything. I was so relieved.

If you are really worried about this, I'd suggest scheduling blood work and asking for an u/s! 
I think with a previous m/c the pregnancy after is just waiting for the worst to happen, even when everything is a-ok.

I hope this will turn out to be one of those pregnancy stories I can tell in 7-8 months.

Went in for blood work Friday, I could barely concentrate to function at work. Dr just called and my HCG is 13k and progesterone is 18. I go back in Monday and probably Wednesday. I do feel better with those numbers. I didn't have high numbers like that with the miscarriage.

I also have had a good case of acid reflux today. Haha. I'll take whatever symptoms I can get. Symptoms=pregnant!

Thanks all for your support. Hope to be around to support you right back!
