So we got so excited for our first ever confirmed BFP only to be told by the doctor that my progesterone was very low and HCG was also lower than expected. It turned into a chemical pregnancy with more confirmed blood tests the next day and I am now waiting for it all to flush out so we can move on and try again. We're feeling sad but also glad to know that at least we got this positive and know that implantation can happen, but now I'm worried that my lining is consistently too thin around 5mm at ovulation.

Has anyone else's first BPF turned out to be a chemical pregnancy? I'm worried that this is going to be a new pattern for us.

Next month she suggested I could take baby aspirin and could be put on progesterone after ovulation if I wanted, in addition to 7.5mg Letrozole.

Why is it so hard to do something that should happen naturally?! Lately it feels like EVERYONE is falling pregnant but we can't manage it. It's been 17 months already.
 
Aw no I'm sorry to hear that :( chemicals are very common - You likely had a genetically abnormal embryo that never could've grown into a baby. In a healthy couple aout 20% of fertilised eggs wind up being genetically abnormal. It's sad but it doesn't mean anything was wrong with you. I hope you get your next BFP quickly. Good luck x
