Miscarriage no period but now pregnant?? Help??

40 replies

Looking for a bit of advice...
I had a miscarriage around 8 weeks ago, I've not had a period since the miscarriage bleeding stopped.
I've been having really sore boobs for the past few weeks, put it down to PMS. As it hasn't yet arrived and after something my mum said, I thought I'd take a cheapy test and bam 👀 it showed positive instantly ...
I am so shocked and confused!
Tbh, I didn't even know this could happen haha and I have no idea how far along I would now be (line is pretty strong but I'd only think I'd be a few weeks).

Wow congratulations. I've read your far more fertile the first 3 months after a pregnancy whether it ended in a miscarriage or birth. I've just finished bleeding from my MC and had a negative opk yesterday and today today being classed as CD1. I have no intentions of leaving it a cycle like advised so Id love be in your position next month 😁 fingers crossed lol. Please keep us posted on your pregnancy.

@ASmithxoxox

Just got back from my hospital appointment, bloods and obs taken - just waiting for blood results. Spoke to the doctor, she said it's definitely a new pregnancy. Hoping to get a scan booked in for the next few days 🤞🏻
Fingers tightly crossed for you🤞🏼 Congratulations 💕

@LittleMysSister I will do!! Fingers crossed for you too!
I've just taken a Clear Blue digital out of curiosity and it's come up 3+ 😱 I've never had one of those before!

@ASmithxoxox Let us know how you get on :) Hopefully good news, those lines are strong.

I'm interested as I had an early MC at the start of Nov but have had a positive OPK since and been DTD. I have had negative cheapie strip tests since the MC but tbh I didn't get positives on those when I was pregnant either, only on the more expensive plastic tests. Had a negative blood test and scan from EPU though.

Don't know when to expect a period so I will wait until 4 weeks post MC and do a test every few days just in case I guess.

Call your EPAU and see if they'll scan you (mine did as I had 3 MCs and no period between last one and this pregnancy). Just to rule out retained tissue as you didn't have a negative test.
If not your GP may arrange an early dating scan.
I didn't have a period in-between (but had a negative blood test) and am now 14 weeks.

Can you gets bloods / scan at a local early pregnancy unit ? That would confirm things / give you an idea of dates. Fingers crossed all goes well x

@Romanticrights what were the complications if you don't mind me asking?
I didn't ever take another test but I absolutely know 100% that it was complete and my tests were so weak/ not really visible on this kind of test last time either

OP posts:
Romanticrights · 03/12/2021 07:31

Please don't think I'm trying to be negative, but did you have a negative test after your miscarriage? I was still getting positive tests 6 weeks after mine due to complications and it being incomplete. But they certainly wernt that strong so my fingers are completely crossed for you! Grin

@bedheadedzombie I am shocked at the moment and concerned as I've had 2 miscarriages but also I get married next year so if all goes well, this may change things hahah 😂

Congratulations! How wonderful, you must be so thrilled!

Tbh, I didn't even know this could happen haha

You ovulate before a period. So you're fertile before a period, not after. You have a period because you ovulated, not the other way around.
