Is it worth doing a test?

Hi ladies,

4 weeks ago we sadly had a miscarriage. Since then I have had no period. However recently I have had sore tender nipples (not breasts) which isn't something I had in my previous pregnancy. I haven't had any other symptoms.

Should I take a pregnancy test or wait? Hmmx

Even if you were, it would be unlikely to show this early so you could put you through anxiety of a negative test for nothing.

First time, I had a miscarriage. I didn't have a period in between but it was a full month in between. Do you know if/when you ovulated?

I was on the pill with the 7 day break, I then became pregnant and after a few weeks had a miscarriage. I bled a lot during my miscarriage which is normal (also had a blood test from my doctor confirming I wasn't pregnant anymore) since then I haven't had my normal period for me to start taking my pill again. I have had unprotected sex as we do want to try again but just not sure when to take the test as you're supposed to wait until you miss a period but I haven't had mine! X

Sorry for your loss :( miscarriages are horrid.

I would wait a week or two if you can to be honest. I think even if you are it would be too early to get a positive.
I got pregnant with my daughter 6 weeks after a MC. You are extra fertile afterwards but try not to get your hopes up just yet as a negative after a MC can be emotional.

Good luck xxx

Thank you, I think I'll give it two weeks and do a test. Fingers crossed! 👶🏼💪🏼
