Anyone ever get pregnant straight after a miscarriage without a period? If so what was your experience?

[Ruby2328]

Hi all just can’t seem to sleep so thought I’d start a thread, start of June I miscarried for the first time was just 5 weeks, I started spotting on the 3rd of June, bleeding got worse 7th/8th of June where I passed a big clot then it eventually subsided and stopped by the 10th, I then had to get follow up hcg blood tests to ensure my levels fully went down, had my last blood test 15th of June and was told they dropped below 10 and that I didn’t need to go back to the hospital, few days after that I took a pregnancy test and it was a clear negative, when I was in hospital they said we could have sex again after I stopped bleeding which we did as I was feeling fine and was up for it, about 3 days ago I took a cheap Poundland pregnancy test and it was such a faint positive could barely see it I thought my mind was just playing tricks on me, so I took a test each day since, the line pretty faint but definitely there, so yesterday I took a clear blue digital weeks test and it said “pregnant 1-2”, now I’m feeling abit confused because I never had my period and I’m just wondering could this be just left over hormones from my last miscarriage even after a negative test and my hcg levels dropped to under 10, or could this be a new pregnancy? Has anyone else experienced this before and it was successful? I can’t help but feel so anxious about it and am just so scared that if it’s a new pregnancy I will miscarry again :( should I go to my gp soon or should I wait another week or two to make sure my period doesn’t come? Any advice would be so appreciated x

I don’t think anyone can really say exactly what’s going on.

When we were TTC, it took about 16 months to get a positive test. I miscarried at 6 weeks, and then got pregnant again in my next cycle. I don’t remember if there was a period in between, just that it was immediate.

Sadly, I miscarried again at about 5 weeks this time.

I then, again, got pregnant immediately. Luckily, this one stuck, and I now have 12YO DS.

Do you know what? I thank my lucky stars for both those miscarriages. If either one of them had stuck, I wouldn’t have DS, and that is unthinkable.

I hope it’s the right result for you and keeping everything 🤞🤞

This happened to me. Miscarried in Feb and got pregnant in March without a period in-between. I knew I was pregnant again because my HCG levels had dropped to an amount a pregnancy test would no longer detect the miscarriage.

I'm now at 17 weeks

Yes this happened to me! Miscarried in April then pregnant again in May no period in between.

Hope everything goes well for you this time

An loss that early it's unlikely to be leftover hormones.

I had a mc on July at 9+3 after seeing a hb on scan at 8+3, didn't ttc straight away. When we did I had a chemical (positive tests up to 5wk then negative and af turned up a week later) in November. Got bfp with this baby in December and now 34+2wk with a very active little girl. I didn't do my self referral until I'd had positive tests at 5 & 6 weeks to rule out another chemical (both were digital & got 3+ result).

It is terrifying being pregnant after loss but all can be well, just take it a day at a time and celebrate the milestones you pass. Congratulations and good luck.

@SmackMyAssnCallMeJudy I’m very sorry for your losses it isn’t easy :( so happy you eventually conceived your ds! I’m praying this is the one for us, it was really hard for us as we were so excited and now I feel like that experience has further robbed us of the joys of early pregnancy :(

@NatMoz Awh I’m praying for you and hope your pregnancy all goes well! It’s such an overwhelming feeling to get pregnant straight away! Is there anything you did to ease the worry? I can’t help but feel like I’ll lose this baby too :(

@Babymamma192 and how have you been feeling? Did you have the same symptoms as your last? Really hope all goes well for you! Xx thanks so much I’m praying things go well, I wouldn’t mind two days ago before I took the clear blue and I only had the faint cheap test a customer came into my job and handed me a poem about a mother carrying her baby with a picture of a baby on it in the womb and then a medal with an angel on it! Was so crazy he didn’t even know I previously lost a baby before either and the next day I properly found out off the clear blue, it was like a sign or something it was mad😅

@Chelyanne I’m so sorry for your losses, sending loads of love your way! I’m so pleased to hear you eventually went on to have a viable pregnancy and I think I’ll do the same as you with the self referral, I went very early when I found out last time and lost the baby a week later :( it is very hard, really is annoying how you can’t get excited or anything but I will take it day per day and pray this will be my rainbow baby, can’t thank yous all enough for getting back to me, please keep in touch and let me know how you’s get on @Babymamma192 @NatMoz

@Ruby2328 Well for me I had an 8 week scan to see if there was a heartbeat and I was sick in my stomach. I've also been taking very low dosage aspirin once a day along with my pregnancy tablets.

Miscarriages are really common even if no one in real life talks about it. How true this is I don't know but they say you are most fertile after miscarriage which I suppose makes sense in my case as we had been trying for nearly a year before losing the baby and then the shock of getting pregnant again.

@NatMoz Awh I could only imagine how anxious you must have been you poor thing, how do you go about getting aspirin did you have to ask your gp or did they recommend it, I also heard of girls having progesterone as well, but I feel like if I mention it to my gp he won’t prescribe any of it to me, it’s really sad show no one talks about it, it can be a very lonely time but I’m very appreciative to have all of you to talk to! Yeah we were the same we were trying for a good few months, got pregnant, lost it and now pregnant again straight away, please god everything goes okay for us!

@Ruby2328 to be honest I just get it from Boots! I did a lot of research and quite a few others on the site were recommended to via their midwife.

I figured there was no harm given it's such a low dose and it seems to have been successful so far and I've had no issues regarding the down syndrome and other abnormality tests!

After my miscarriage at 12 weeks and and subsequent ERPC I was told not to attempt another pregnancy for at least six months. The first period I had after was brutal tbh.

@NatMoz do you have a picture of the aspirin you’re currently taking? Might pop down to boots and get some seems as there’s no harm!

@OldTinHat oh really? A lot of midwifes have recommended different things from what I have been looking up, i had a natural miscarriage with no need to intervene so that’s probably why they said it was okay, hope you were okay during such an awful period xx

I got pregnant immediately. He's just turned ten. It was fine...,.but very stressful. They had no problems dating.

@Curioushorse did they just date it going by your last miscarriage?? So happy for you that you had a successful pregnancy with a healthy little boy xx

Yes- he's 12!
I'm sorry for your loss. Try not to worry is such a trite thing to say, but please do try.
Every pregnancy is different, every woman is different, and sometimes they never get to the bottom of why miscarriage has happened.
Just try and keep healthy and try not to stress.
Wishing you all the best

@haba Awh I’m delighted for you! ❤️ Thanks so much I’ll try not to I have always been a worrier even before I was pregnant before, I will try my best to just take it easy, I’ve been taking all my vitamins and everything so please god everything goes okay

They factored in the miscarriage, but I don’t think they pay that much attention to dates of periods anyway. They just measured him at the scans and came up with a date based on that. I did end up having far more scans than normal, and I actually bled sporadically throughout (it was awful), which they said may have been linked. But….ultimately it was fine.

Good luck, OP. I don’t envy you the stress, because I’m sure you’ll be anxious (I was!). But it’s very possible for everything to work out OK!

@Curioushorse ah I’m so happy everything was okay! Thanks so much for getting back to me ❤️ I’ll try stay positive! Xx
