I had my third early miscarriage in mid-late August. Had two blood tests, one with very low hcg (

Thank you everyone.
I am feeling more positive, & grateful for the care from the EPAU (it can be hit and miss at times, but today they were great). I know the progesterone and aspirin may do nothing but at least I feel like I'm doing something other than just waiting.
I have another scan in two weeks which is good - I think I can manage my anxiety for 2 weeks (whereas the idea of waiting til 12 weeks would stress me out!)

Just as a note of caution oo - progesterone can make you bleed so try not to freak out if you do. Administering them rectally can lessen chance of bleeding.

@AwkwardPaws27 aww congratulations! 🥰😁

This is brilliant news, congratulations!

Great news and I'm so happy you got to see the heartbeat. Can't believe your husband wasn't allowed in..that's insane now.
That's great you get another scan in 2 weeks time as well. Do you think you'll be eligible for scans all throughout this pregnancy then? That would be good

JasonMomoasgirlfriend thank you.

Apparently they've seen a spike in covid cases recently so are trying to protect the inpatients and staff - understandable but a bit disappointing!
I'm not sure how many I'll get - they said a scan in two weeks, but the nurse practitioner also said as progesterone may prevent bleeding but its possible the heartbeat could still stop, there may be fortnightly scans while I'm on it, so I think it might be fortnightly til 12 weeks? I hope so!
If not I think I'll book private scans for reassurance. I might book one anyway if DH can't come in to the next scan so he can see too.

That would be great if you got a scan every two weeks until 12 week scan
Yeh the private scans are good, I used babybond and they've always been fab but plenty to choose from.

Uh I feel rough. Definitely not complaining (!) hopefully it is a good sign that I was hugging the toilet bowl at 2.30am...

TW. Miscarriage mentioned and pregnancy.

Hi guys. Just asking if anyones had anything similar - bad or good endings.

We miscarried at 12 weeks 3 weeks ago - i had surgery and my bleeding stopped the next day (20th of December)

Me and my partner have been sexually active since the 27th (soon for some i know but going on to try again is the only thing seeming to get us through this)

I had a negative test 14 days after the miscarriage - Fast forward to last night and today i’ve had very faint positives, two at home and one at the doctors (i did one because i had what felt like implantation pain) - i have NO idea whats going on but the GP doctor has referred me back to EPAU.

They said one of two things, the negative was false and my HCGs are still coming down OR a very very very early new pregnancy.

I have a scan on friday to confirm whether there was anything left from the surgery still causing a positive (which is unlikely) and a blood test to see my HCGs.

Has anyone experienced this before? Surely its way way too soon to know if i’m pregnant again? And surely they would know if they left something behind and i would have had other symptoms like infection etc if this was the case? So a possible false negative and HCGs coming down i reckon?

Beyond confused and this glimmer of hope of a new pregnancy or the horror of something still being there from the miscarriage is going to feel like i’ve lost the baby twice if its a bad outcome.

I wish waited for my first cycle but i am so desperate for a baby and i can’t think of anything else.

just similar stories if any?

Thankyou so much in advance.

Pictured is last night and todays test.

@Mac55555 sorry to hear about your miscarriage. You might like to join this thread for more up to date discussions as this is an old thread. www.mumsnet.com/talk/miscarriage/4711804-journey-after-miscarriage-support-thread-jan-2023?page=7&reply=122967003

Fingers crossed that Friday's scan shows a new pregnancy! Is the pregnancy test you did now the same brand as the one that showed negative last time?

I think this is an old thread, but was your pregnancy successful OP? Sending love
