Different pregnancy symptoms after a miscarriage?

[purplecolouroffunk]

Hello,

I had a missed miscarriage (MMC) in April. We found out at about 7.5 weeks that nothing had grown since 5 weeks, so it was an early loss. I went for the surgical management option.

Long story short, I haven’t had a period yet since the MMC. We’d intended to wait until after my period but we misjudged ovulation and ended up DTD right in my fertile days (used OPK to check).

When I was pregnant I had huge sore boobs from about 6dpo and that was pretty much the only symptom.

Fast forward to now - I’m 10dpo and don’t have any symptoms at all. Boobs are not remotely sore. I want to wait until at least 12dpo to test so that it’s a bit more definitive.

It’s probably stupid, but part of me is like well I was pregnant less than 2 months ago, so if I was again, why would my symptoms be so different if they’re in such close proximity.

The stories I’ve read generally seem to be about pregnancies with long gaps in between, or between a first and second child, where I can imagine the symptoms might be really quite different for each. I can’t find so much about pregnancy symptoms specifically after miscarriage, especially being as close together as 2 months apart.

My question:

Has anyone had a miscarriage with symptoms in the TWW, and then gone on to another BFP with no symptoms? I know every pregnancy is different but I’m wondering whether to discount myself cause I have zero symptoms this cycle.

Thanks for any advice! 💜

Hey,

Yes I have, I'm convinced I can only carry girls! I am sick a dog when pregnant with girls but I've not had half as many symptoms with boys! Think it's all the extra hormones for their ovaries etc.

One of my mates didn't even realise she was pregnant for 3 months because it was so easy for her.... me I was in hospital on a drip from 6 weeks 😂 it really is different with a every person and every pregnancy. It's like a roll of the dice.

It's fairly common not to have a period for a while after MC. I didn't have one for 3 months one time and another i didn't even have a period because I got pregnant before it started at 2 months post op. Also had endometriosis surgery and didn't get a period for 5 months after.

Telling you all this random info in case any of it helps. Apologises if it doesn't 🩵

@Confused68272 thanks for sharing! The whole thing is such a minefield - I just wish there was a certain set of symptoms to look for so you’d be sure either way 😂

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve suffered miscarriage too, it’s so tough.

It’s a good point on periods being wacky afterwards. I guess I was assuming because I did OPKs and know when I likely ovulated, my period would probably follow 2 weeks after. My that might not be the case! Should be due getting towards the end of this week on that basis, so guess we’ll see.
