Hmm yes strange. It does seem too early for new pregnancy. I wondered if you were earlier than you thought and nothing would have be seen at the scan even with a bleed. But that then doesn’t explain neg test.

They’ll check for hcg levels in the blood and might (should) bring you back for another scan. In theory most likely is retained products, even though they said you were clear, they do make mistakes.

Let’s us know what gp says tomo! X

Thanks @yukka I told him in the end but he said he's not using the points you have to worry about anyway. I still felt paranoid about being poked and pushed, even though I know he wouldn't do it if it would hurt the bean. Also horrible when you tell people and they say congratulations! You must be so happy! But in your head you've not had any happiness and excitement yet as you assume it's just temporary again Sad

Between 5 & 6 weeks I think, I bled for three days but not heavily, lighter than my period.

Yukka · 29/01/2019 19:45

And how many weeks/days were you on 17th? Did the bleed last long?

OP posts:
frillyfarmer · 29/01/2019 19:20

@Yukka I had a heavy bleed on 17th, scanned the following day and they confirmed that there was no retained material on the ultrasound... I'd just assumed I'd miscarried on 17th but it seems quite quick to then have a negative PG test the following day now I think about it?

Yukka · 29/01/2019 18:54

@user1474623337 most women get period within 6 weeks of mc. It does vary and there’s no set rule. Have you had negative pregnancy test? Are you using ovulation sticks at all? These can be very useful for tracking what your body is doing during this recovery time and preparing for period again xx

@frillyfarmer when did you actually mc - you mentioned scan and test two weeks ago but when did you mc and did you track dtd dates?

Yukka · 29/01/2019 18:44

@dimebimble please do tell him, certain acupuncture points and massage areas must be avoided when pregnant. It’s different if helping conceive but now you are pregnant there are strict rules. If he’s a registered practitioner then he is bound by confidentiality, just point out to him that it’s still confidential. He has to treat you as a patient nothing else xx

Hello ladies
Thanks for the well wishes. I'm now home from the erpc and it seems to have gone well. I'm sore and achy but I expected that. I now have to wait for results from the lab and a referral to rmc. But I think I'm rather disappointed in epas as both my ward doctor and nurse are both heavily pregnant (you know just to rub it in). Do you think I should complain given what I was being treated for. I know it's not the ladies fault what I'm going through but I think it really insensitive of them.

I'm going to count today as cd1 and commit myself to the crazy ttc train once more as I asked about ttc and they said when ever you feel ready just wait for the bleeding to stop. I wondered if it would be best to wait for rmc but the nurse didn't seem to think so.

Dimblebimble · 29/01/2019 17:13

Thanks @strawberrye. Technically he should, but he did mention to me about my FIL's piles (which until then I was blissfully unaware of). But I guess I don't have much of a choice, he's unlikely to see my FIL any time soon anyway.

strawberrye · 29/01/2019 17:08

@Dimblebimble I can understand your concerns but I would tell your physio as it may affect the treatments he gives you, and also he should respect your confidentiality.

Dimblebimble · 29/01/2019 14:27

I'm going to the physio tonight as I was involved in a minor bump after Xmas. He normally does acupuncture on my lower and upper back and occasionally a bit of alignment (pulling my hips about, pushing down on my ribs). Should I tell him I'm pregnant? I've read it can impact how they perform the treatment.

The physio is quite effective but is also quite casual and informal and knows my in laws (not closely) so I can't trust him to be discreet.

On the other hand, both times I've conceived it's been directly after his treatments, so I wonder whether they have a positive effect on my fertility (hence I'm still keen to go to my appointments).

What would you do?

Thank you ladies. GP took bloods this morning and said he would call with the result tomorrow PM so the wait continues.

They said I could have been earlier along and not big enough to show on scan if I implanted late. But that doesn't explain the negative after the scan?

I'm just in limbo I feel so shit. And if by some miracle I am still pregnant, I went on a complete gin bender after my MC. Fuck fuck fucking hell. 2019 is not being kind so far!

Ithinkthatsenough · 29/01/2019 10:09

Hope it works out for you @frillyfarmer x
I had a negative pg test 16 days after delivering a baby at 16 weeks, but i had 3cm of retained tissue. So it is possible to have a negtive test but still have something left over. I had an internal scan to confirm, then a d and c x

Laney79 · 29/01/2019 10:01

Any luck with the gp/epau @frillyfarmer ?

Only thing I can think is that they missed something on your scan? Or that it was twins (maybe double ovulation that month and a late implanter?) But as you say I wouldn't want to get hopes up either. Very very odd. Let us know how you get on.

@Clumsykitten hope you don't have a battle as you fear. As for bmi, 28 isn't too high is it? I thought 25 was normal weight so you wouldn't be far over. As you say be prepared to battle a bit though in case you need to. How old are you? X

user1474623337 · 29/01/2019 07:51

I've just had a miscarriage and they told me i could test positive for a while after but to do a test at 2 weeks and if positive it could mean still some tissue left which they'd need to remove (I think through tablets) to prevent infections ... I would call the early pregancy unit and they'll probably.see you xx

Well, second test was CB came up instantly. I'm completely drawing a blank - MC scanned and confirmed on 18th followed by two negative tests - it's impossible to ovulate, conceive and test positive in less than two weeks so what the fuck has happened? Suppose I won't know until I see GP but I'm absolutely not investing hope in anything right now, it can't be positive can it?!

MummyG82 · 28/01/2019 22:01

@Chilliandlime we sound very similar, it's totally doing my head in n DH n I just want to ttc again! I think I have had signs of ovulation but I'm not very good at working it out 🙈. I rely on my flo app to be honest, which is fairly accurate. But obviously without a period it's still going off my old cycle before MMC. I have thought about getting some ovulation test strips to see what they say, but then today I have had bad period pains! So FX for af to start!

I hope your body gets back into a cycle soon too. The waiting just drives you crazy doesn't it.

InDreamland · 28/01/2019 21:07

@Laney79 I think I'm 10dpo. Got my static smiley on the CB OPK on 17th January in the morning. Smiley was still flashing on the 16th before I went to bed.

Topsey83 · 28/01/2019 20:45

@Laney79 thank you.

user1474623337 · 28/01/2019 20:41

Hi everyone
I'm ttc after a miscarriage on 7th Jan.. we decided to just let nature take it's course and not wait for next period etc

My question is when would I expect a period after a Mc ... I get that's why they want you to wait before getting pregnant again but we've had so much trouble getting pregnant I didnt want to wait

What's everyone's experience .. I don't want to get obsessed with doing tests but kind of don't know when to start thinking I'm late

Thanks xx

Lilimum6 · 28/01/2019 20:25

Well ladies 24 hours from now I will officially be back on the ttc train. If all goes well with my erpc. I'm just a little bit scared today if I'm honest
