Pregnancy after miscarriage

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on here has experienced the same thing, I had a miscarriage on the 6th of July, the bleeding after lasted about 7-9 days then stopped, I started having sex about 2 weeks after my miscarriage stopped however I’m now getting congestion and feeling very tired (same symptoms I had when found out I was previously pregnant) I’ve taken tests but all negative, has anyone else had this happen so early after or is my mind just playing tricks on me?

Are your dates correct on post? If you started having sex 2 weeks after earliest that would have been would be 27th July which is only a week ago. So if you ovulate exactly 2 weeks after miscarriage you would be 7dpo latest and this is too early for a positive?

Hi @Whoisdis my dates of my miscarriage are correct, I just wasn’t too sure, thankyou for making it more clearer for me as I’ve never understood what happens with ovulation after miscarriage, I think my mind had just been over the place recently and I’m just coming to terms so to be feeling with these symptoms and has made it worse for me but Thankyou!

@louhamilton so sorry for your loss 💕 no problem. I had a missed miscarriage where the tissue came away on 1st July. I bled for a few weeks until around 19th of July and then started tracking ovulation with lh tests, with ovulation showing as 27th. I know it can happen anytime from 2 weeks but some people can take months. I'm currently in tww with nausea and tiredness which were symptoms I had with my previous pregnancy so know how you feel wondering whats happening! I'm currently 8dpo so too early to test but definitely wondering myself whether it's actually symptoms or my mind playing tricks on me.

Do you test for ovulation? It's so hard to know what are bodies are doing after a miscarriage 😔

louhamilton · 04/08/2023 18:09

@Whoisdis thankyou, and I’m so sorry for your loss too! 🥺💗 mine was similar, I got told it was a miscarriage on the Friday, was meant to be 8 weeks but baby didn’t grow past 6 weeks then by the Monday I started bleeding, Wednesday heavy bleeding and by Friday I had miscarried at home but this was my first time and I just wasn’t sure with how everything worked, I’ve never done an ovulation test but I may look into getting one then do you think? it’s so horrible isn’t it like I’m getting the same symptoms that I had after I first found out! But fingers crossed for you that it is good news 💗

It's awful isn't it 😔 I started with brown spotting so went for private scan where they confirmed the worst 😔 was booked in for surgical management on the Friday so it was all physical sorted prior to holiday following week but naturally miscarried hours before I was due in hospital.
I'm iffy about my own ovulation post miscarriage but been trying to read up and basically it can be different for everyone. But you can ovulate as early as two weeks.
I was ovulation testing for 2 cycles prior to pregnancy so thought would try again for ttc this time around. May be worth trying testing to see what's happening. You do have to test for a few days to see if it's going up but you may have missed ovulation if it's happened already. 💕 fingers crossed you get the outcome you're wanting at the minute 😊

I’m so sorry you had to go through that 🥺😞, I definitely will give it a try to see! thank you so much for your help! Please keep in touch and let me know how you’re doing ☺️! Same to you, Thankyou 💗

Hello. 5 weeks ago I had a missed miscarriage, I have had a period and a confirmed negative test also an ultrasound which confirmed everything has gone.

I am now 5DPO and already feeling like I did before.

are pregnancy symptoms more apparent after a miscarriage?

Whoisdis · 14/08/2023 20:46

@SarahLouise98 I don't know if they usually do, but 5dpo is early for symptoms. I've just had my first period post miscarriage but I was convinced I was pregnant before my period came as I was feeling so nauseous prior to period which I did in last pregnancy! Such a cruel trick of the body 😔

Hopefully you get your bfp! Xx

SarahLouise98 · 14/08/2023 20:47

@Whoisdis Thankyou for replying, at the moment I am slightly cramping, brown discharge but not on pad, got flushed and chills, slight nausea and seriously bloated

louhamilton · 14/08/2023 20:50

@SarahLouise98 I'm not too sure, I've just gotten my first period after my miscarriage that was roughly 5 weeks ago but I had some pregnancy symptoms last week due to me creating the thread but my periods have came now unfortunately, it's so horrible these feelings and symptoms but I hope you get your BFP ☁️🤍 xx

@Whoisdis I’m certainly not getting my hopes up, I’ve already had a period and a very high peak LH strip of 1.35 so I’m hoping we’ve done it but only time will tell

capetownclaire · 15/08/2023 13:22

@Whoisdis I felt the same thing now. So nauseous, got a bit excited but then my 1st period came... 3 weeks after my miscarriage which seems much earlier than most people. Was tracking ovulation after 10 days but it either happened earlier or not at all. Very confusing!

Whoisdis · 15/08/2023 15:04

@SarahLouise98 fingers crossed for you. Its so hard to keep in mind it can take people up to a year to conceive but you feel a bit robbed after a loss. I feel months behind as I should have been coming up to 5 months now pregnant now 😔

@capetownclaire It's awful isn't it. You try to keep telling yourself not to get excited but hard not too. I bled around 2 weeks after passing the baby, then started lh testing straight away, I seem to have ovulated 6 days after end of bleeding. So period was around 5 weeks after miscarriage.

The worst thing is I know getting pregnant again would be best thing for my recovery but scared that I'll be over anxious when it happens again.

SarahLouise98 · 15/08/2023 16:31

Currently 6DPO . Caught my peak and CM-BBT confirmed so hoping and praying now. Got symptoms but obviously are very similar to AF so fingers crossed
