Help me! Am I pregnant again after D&C?

56 replies

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 16/04/2019 15:16

Hello,

I had a D&C following a miscarriage in March. I have been so low about it all thinking I could never conceive again etc.
Three weeks after the D&C I had negative pregnancy tests (though I didn’t ever have any blood tests).

We started trying again immediately after I stopped bleeding and I had two days peak fertility with Digital OPK on 6th & 7th April (flashing on 5th)

I have not had a period yet. I thought i might be due this weekend, but understand things can be thrown off for a few cycles after the miscarriage.

Anyway. I ordered some sensitive tests from Amazon, just to have in stock, but as I am a glutton for punishment and I thought I’d just do a quick one now. Got this “line” is it a Line?! Or is it my hormones messed up from D&C? Please help I am shaking!

I can definitely see the lines this morning ❤️ can you get hold of some frer? Then maybe test again on Friday? Really hoping this will work out for you. X

If you're driving yourself mad, can you phone your GP surgery and see if they can do bHCG bloods?

PinaColadaPlease · 17/04/2019 09:17

You need a blood test. Can you phone your GP or consultant (as your consultant was private there may be a better chance of getting it done same day).

Good luck!

Right, ring your GP.
Get sequential blood tests done.

So I phoned the GP. She said not to any blood tests for TWO weeks!

I got a First Response... pic attached. Feeling like all hope isn’t lost yet!

No * to any blood tests

I wouldn't do any more tests now. That frer is very positive.

Without meaning to be negative, my recent experience of testing gave reassurance when it shouldn't have (missed miscarriage). So I'd see if the GP will refer you to epu for a scan when you're 7-8 weeks. Good luck 🍀

Mrsmummy90 · 17/04/2019 10:32

The first response is clear as day! I know it's easier said than done but try not to panic xx

Congratulations!! Xxx

Thank you so much for your thoughts everyone.

Can anyone help me work out exactly how far along I am, or is that impossible given the circumstances?

Obviously I don’t know my last period date, as I was pregnant last month. The one before was 7th February.

All I know is that the OPK said peak on 7th April, but obviously don’t know if that is exactly when I ovulated. Not sure that even helps?

Venus - I forgot to say, sorry for your loss. It really is horrible. Flowers

Due date would be around 38 weeks from ovulation (working on the assumption of a 28 day cycle) although due date will change at a 12 week scan anyway

Hope everything goes well this time round for you, you must be in knots

FirstTimeMama91 · 17/04/2019 14:30

@Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney congratulations to you!! I haven't a clue when you're due date would be sorry I'm not much help lol.
When did you MC if you don't mind me asking? I started had MC 2 weeks ago on Friday. I did a few OPKs this week but they were very strong. Today's was a darker line. Going to dtd every day this week I think lol. We conceived 1st cycle and I lay with legs up after baby dance lol dunno if that helped but I'll be doing it every time from now on!
Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to get a bfpThanksThanksThanks

You can’t do anything, except take good care of yourself physically and mentally.
Be kind to yourself, it’s a long journey.
Oh, and congratulations!!

VenusStarr · 17/04/2019 17:17

Thank you @Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney really hope this has good news for you 🍀

PacmansGapingMaw · 17/04/2019 17:23

I was told the same thing after a mc, but I think it's a standard line so we don't get our hopes up. I was exhausted from the process so I just went for blood tests and said 'fine, whatever you say'. They got back to me a fortnight later to say I was probably about 20 weeks gone, by the hormone levels they saw.

I don’t think it is good news. I’m spotting this morning. I feel devastated Sad

Russell19 · 18/04/2019 09:10

Oh OP, I really feel for you. Now is the time to ring EPU maybe? Think you'd be too early for a scan but they can do bloods?? Could it be old blood? People do have bleeds and everything turns out ok....fingers crossed for you xx

VenusStarr · 18/04/2019 09:13

Giving you a handhold @Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney, do you have cramps as well? Take some time to look after yourself. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will have a good outcome for you xx ❤️
