recently i've been experiencing increasing pregnancy symptoms while still bleeding from my missed miscarriage last month. baby was measuring 8 weeks 2 days but i didn't pass anything until 14 weeks 2 days. i bled for a week then spotted for another week (at this point all of my pregnancy symptoms had disappeared). for 4 days after that i didn't bleed or spot at all but had ovulation like discharge and thought i may be ovulating but figured it wasn't possible since i still had some retained tissue to pass. i then began to bleed and pass the retained tissue and have bleed for about 2 weeks now, during those 2 weeks i began to experience a few pregnancy symptoms but they seem to be increasing everyday and i wasn't sure if it was just placebo since i want to get pregnant again already or if i was experiencing these symptoms due to the bleeding. surely it's not possible for me to be pregnant since i had been bleeding so much right?

Hi @purplefairy22 that sounds strange, I'd ring your GP and explain, ask for HCG bloods to see if there's an increase. Have you tested negative yet for the MC? Other option is your EPU for a scan maybe?
I'm sorry this is happening to you, it sounds so confusing.

@justsayso i have an appointment on friday where they will do a urine test and bloodwork and i will also receive an ultrasound to confirm i've passed the rest of the tissue. i figured since i'm passing tissue there's no possible way im pregnant but these symptoms are making me think otherwise at this point. if these symptoms aren't from pregnancy then i wonder why i'm experiencing them, i was thinking it could be because i was bleeding so much my hormones were changing
