Miscarriage after 4 years of infertility. advice?

hi

I've been absent for a bit as things have been a bit of a rollercoaster.

we've had secondary infertility for 4 years. diagnosis after my laparoscopy in October which said loads of adhesions from my caesarean for my son, both tubes completely blocked and womb attached to front abdominal wall.

was offered a hysterscopy to check if adhesions were in my womb too, and a HSG just to confirm both tubes are blocked. at this point it felt hopeless, turns out there is a difference between thinking you are infertile and knowing you are.

I had the hysterscopy and amazingly no adhesions in the womb. Had the HSG and dye went straight through, both tubes fully open.

however I was 7 days post ovulation when I had the HSG and it transpired I was pregnant. 3 weeks later having had a strange light period with no red blood I felt a bit nauseous so I did a random test and it was positive!! god knows how it held on through the HSG.

5 days later I started to miscarry. the guilt I feel over ignoring the instructions to not have sex before the HSG are huge (in my defence I wasnt going to bother having the HSG initially as I thought we had no hope and didn't want more bad news)

I'm now due my period today, no signs of it arriving, but too scared to test after what happened last month.

this has messes with my mind so much. we're ok, but I just cant understand how we got pregnant and how the tests were so different?

was anyone else late for their period following a miscarriage?

Hi OP - i has very smiles situation in that c section caused adhesions and ended up with two ruptured ectopic pregnancies in 18 months and lost both tubes

I've also had 2 HSG tests - they can delay your period - mine was about 7 days late after the second one

I've also had recurrent miscarriages and period tends to come back between 5-6 weeks after hcg levels reaches 0

I'm surprised they even did the HSG test so late in your cycle - my hospital was insistent they be done no later than cycle day 9/10 to avoid potential risk to pregnancy x
