Pregnant three weeks after miscarriage?! Could I be?!

Your story is very encouraging! I'm going through something similar. I love reading other women's experiences, it gives me so much hope after so many bad days

@Alexisb20 I had a miscarriage January 20th and my husband and I don't believe in birth control so I was waiting for my hormones to drop so I could try to convince again. My levels wouldn't drop, so out of fear that the miscarriage was incomplete they sent me off for ultrasound. 7 weeks 3days after my miscarriage I was confirmed by ultrasound to be 5 weeks 5 days along with a detectable heartbeat! Hope this helps.

Hi @Alexisb20. I haven'r had my cycle yet either after my miscarriage last month and I too am having symptoms. The best advice I can give is to wait. Your body may still have high hcg levels which may result in a false negative if you are trying to conceive. However, there may be a good chance that you are and if so, Congrats!

I was in the same boat as you @HopefulKate1980 . I hope you had luck and a healthy baby to go along with it.

The only sign I’m not feeling is soreness to my breast.

Hey my name is Alexis. I had a miscarriage at 5weeks on January 30th , I stop bleeding February 4th. My Partner and I didn’t waste no time February 6th we started trying again up until today. Lately I’ve been having the signs of pregnancy that I’ve had before I also feel this tingle feeling near my belly button. I still haven’t got my period yet after the miscarriage. Am I pregnant?

No one follows back on their stuff there would be a lot lets questions and forums out there if people just concluded what happened with them. Please can you state what happened in the end as a lot of people are going through this.

Thanks

I can only share my own experience but I miscarried at 10 weeks and sure enough I was pregnant 3 weeks later- I think friends were shocked but it really does happen. Oh and I had the smelly urine too, it was my first sign with both pregnancies Good luck

Same way you know you are ovulating any other time...I began temping again and checking my cervical fluid as soon as I stopped bleeding.

I had an Mmc also at ten weeks and it took almost 6 weeks before I stopped getting positive pregnancy tests.
Then had an early miscarriage at 7 weeks and ovulated again just over 2 weeks later, got pregnant that cycle and had ds.
I would say it's too soon for you to have ovulated and to have pregnancy symptoms. The positive test is more likely to be from the mmc.
But hope I'm wrong!

I had an ERPC in early December 14 due to a MMC.
I fell pregnant again in early January 15, baby now a 15 week old bouncy baby boy .

I ovulated two weeks after a miscarriage at 6 weeks and fell pregnant (is now six weeks old and stuck to my boob). The miscarriage was very light, couple days, less than a period - though I bled at six weeks I think it may have stopped growing before that.

I was pregnant again 3 weeks after a miscarriage, but it was a blighted ovum at 6 weeks so there was no foetus there to 'pass'...I only bled for 5 days and it was lighter than most of my periods.

Fingers crossed for you OP.

I don't think you could have ovulated while still bleeding unfortunately. I would guess it would take at least a week between bleeding stopping and ovulation happening. So I think it's unlikely that you could have conceived straight after the bleeding stopped.

Thank you for thinking of me while you are in the middle of it all. I had a DD who is now 20m old after going to Coventry University Hospital and being treated for high NK cells. Can't recommend them enough for anyone suffering from unexplained infertility or recurrent miscarriage.

It's too early to become pregnant again. Your hormones would need to settle down and restart a new cycle so it's moe likely that the hcg is from the lost pregnancy. Test again in a week. Hopefully you'll get a real positive soon enough!

Hi Kate,

I'm in kind of the same boat, ERPC for MC on 3rd Jan. Have had some pregnancy type symptoms past couple of days so 3 weeks past MC.

However I don't do preg tests or Ov tests so I can't give advice on that. After a long time TTC I only do tests now when my period is late. It took 34 days for my period to come back after my last MC so unless symptoms ramp up massively and period doesn't arrive, I won't test until sometime in Feb.

My consultant also says fertility is higher after MC and the only reason doctors ever say to wait a month before TTC is so they can more accurately date the pregnancy.

Sorry this post is a bit long winded and pointless but just wanted to say that you aren't the only one! Fingers crossed for you.

Mc at 6 weeks over easter 2011 then conceived 3 weeks later we had dtd twice in that time hence knowing when it happened.

I knew within 2 weeks... Craving red meat and dairy like a madwoman... Couldn't bear the sight of any green veg

You might be, did you have any of your normal ovulation signs? I miscarried in 2008, and got pregnant before having a period, we tried as soon as I saw signs of ovulation. On the other hand it may be residual hcg.
