My partner and I (I don't know all the terminology yet but I promise I will learn!) got pregnant the first month after coming off the pill. This was a shock as I was convinced it would never happy as I am an IVF baby (and have always feared I would have the same issues) and have had cin3 abnormal cervical smear and a significant lletz procedure which took a lot of my cervix :(

I had all the symptoms straight away. Nipples hurting, mongomerys tubercles, boobs growing, sickness, headaches, cramping and a heavy feeling in my abdomen, metallic taste. Finally got a BFP (I know that one!) in Friday morning! Friday afternoon I started bleeding and this continued into Saturday and then took a test this morning and was negative. Would have been 5 weeks tomorrow.

Got an appointment today and the doctor confirmed he thinks I have had a miscarriage :( he has referred me for a scan (nothing open on Sunday here unfortunately) so just waiting on that now.

I suppose I just need reassurance this is normal and have other people gone on to have healthy pregnancies after. Also how long after does your cycle return to normal/do you ovulate.

Thanks in advance

Hi so sorry to hear of what’s happened to you.
I had similar last summer. Bleeding started at 6 weeks. It is shitty but is so normal. Loads of women miscarry. Drs only worry once you’ve had 3 in a row.

I’m currently sitting in bed nursing my healthy little boy who was conceived around a month after my miscarriage. He’s fab and the way I see it is if the first hadn’t miscarried i would never have met him. I also think early miscarriage is nature’s way of preventing you having to make an awful decision later on as most miscarriages are because of genetic abnormalities.

Works out that I ovulated about 3 weeks after bleeding stopped - no period in between. There is some evidence that for 6 months after you miscarry you are a bit more fertile so if you feel ready keep trying.

Good luck OP

Thank you for taking the time to write back to me. It really helps just to know you have a healthy little one now. It gives me some hope xx
