Lost my bb 😓

I went for my routine check up yesterday happily as I am supposed to be week 8+6. However I was told that there is no more heartbeat. I am in so much shock as the heartbeat was very strong just a week back. Gynae said this may be due to genetics issue but I can’t help to think if it’s because of us having sex once a few days ago. We were very careful to be gentle and slow. My pregnancy is a high risk one and I have been taking progesterone daily. We had sex once around 7 weeks but bb was healthy and heartbeat was strong after that so we didn’t think it would be a problem. Can someone please tell me if it’s because of us that we lost our baby ??? 😓😓

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's definitely not the sex. The same thing happened to me as well. The gynae said this happens to 1 in 5 women, and it's due to genetic abnormalities, so that's why the baby didn't develop any further. Don't blame yourself or your husband. Please take some time to grieve, heal and rest before you try again. Stay strong.
