Hi guys I'm new here and hoping some advice! I'll warn you now, this will probably be a long post! It's been 4 and a half weeks since my miscarriage, i was around 7weeks pregnant, I was rushed to another hospital as my local hospital didn't have the facilities to deal with what was going on and I was told from my symptoms it sounded ectopic but when I arrived at the other hospital I was taken for another blood test, told my hcg levels were a lot lower than they should be for how far gone I would have been and that it was a failing pregnancy/blighted ovum, that was it, I wasn't given a scan, any further advice or any other advice other than to return for a further blood test 48 hours later to check my levels were dropping, but even then I had the blood test in the heamotology department and never given the results, I had taken another pregnancy test on the day of the blood test which came negative so I just assumed everything that should have been happening was happening. I bled for 5 days and I presumed everything was over but now it's nearly 4 weeks since I stopped bleeding and for the last week I have felt awful, my stomach is bloated, my boobs are sore and I'm having lower abdominal cramps then today I have felt nauseous all day, I lost it this morning when I woke up feeling sick and went out to buy a first response and a clear blue test, both came back with BFN, I was hoping they'd both put me out of my misery and tell me I was pregnant again as we've been trying again since the bleeding stopped. I'm looking for other experiences, anyone else felt like this? Could I be pregnant again it's just too early? I was having sickness for about a week before I got my BFP last time. I just want the BFP again to AF to show up to put me out of my misery!

Thank you for sharing your experience with me, I hope you've not been TTC too long and you get your BFP soon too! I've read so many lovely stories about lucky ladies who have been fortunate to fall pregnant again straight after miscarriages and have healthy babies. Hopefully my body corrects itself soon and I'll start to feel relatively normal again! xxx

So this morning I woke up early and had to run straight to the toilet as nausea was strong! Me being as obsessed as I am thought I'd use my last first response test and I've got a very faint positive line! I've tried to attach a picture but as I'm new here I'm not allowed but there's definitely one there, I promised myself I would keep it to myself and test again in a couple of days then tell the other half once/if I had a stronger line but after two and a half hours I broke and spilled it out! He can definitely see it too! It's hard not to be excited and over enthusiastic but I am ridiculously nervous too! xxx

Sorry for your loss, congratulations on your BFP. Just to let you know I lost my first baby through miscarriage but got pregnant again very quickly and my second pregnancy went without any major problems. My LO is now 9 months old xx

hollie7492 · 27/01/2018 09:52

Thanks for your replies! Going to try my hardest to ignore that it's happened and wait a couple of days to test again then if I do get a stronger line I'll make myself an appointment and try and let myself get a bit excited! I'll keep you updated Grin

So sorry to hear youre going through this. I've experienced something similar. I too got a negative pregnancy test after 4 weeks....however I carried on bleeding and I'm now into my 8th week of bleeding. I started experiencing abdominal pains last week, to cut a long story short I went for a scan and have retained tissue and an infection so I would 100% go and get looked at if you're suffering from pain xxx

Disneyrules · 27/01/2018 16:49

Only just seen your last post....doh! Congrats hun, big hugs xxx

hollie7492 · 27/01/2018 21:44

Thanks Disneyrules! I'm absolutely petrified! Surely I can't be more than 3wks gone if I'm MC was 4wks and 3days ago! I've felt so sick all day and had a hideous migraine which I only ever normally get when I'm ovulating. Plus I'm having quite a lot of discomfort and cramping down below. It's hard to ignore it but I'm trying my best, I've begged the OH to hide all the pregnancy test I've got stashed so I don't do one first thing tomorrow morning but I'm sure I'll go on a mad hunt first thing to track them down, he's probably not even moved them as he'll know it'll be pointless! xx

Thanks everyone, woke up feeling really sick again this morning and was straight to the toilet, resisted doing a pregnancy test, but I've just been to the toilet and there was a small amount of blood, slight cramping on my right side (was all on the left with my mc in December) pain is nowhere near what it was then and there's only a very small amount of blood but I'm pretty sure it's all happening again 🙁

Definitely another mc, all tests negative now, stopped bleeding this morning but still having the constant nausea which lasted about 3 days after my bleeding stopped last time, back to the doctors on Tuesday and hoping they'll do some follow up tests but unsure as to wether they will, I've heard you have to have 3 or more for it to be investigated but after having 2 in less than 5 weeks I'm hoping I can convince them cause I want some answers! Thank you for your concern, i won't give up trying. Third time lucky hopefully! xx
