Anybody pregnant after miscarriage before 1st AF??

[tm1978]

Hi All

Well I'm 7 + 2. Only had my ERPC 10 weeks ago. I had no clue I was pregnant until last Wednesday. I went to the doctor fearing that something wasn't right after ERPC, been having pain and a test still showed positive. She took bloods which revealed that I pregnant, but she put me straight to hospital regarding the pain (thinking it was eptopic). I got put for a scan and got the shock of my life when they said that I was pregnant again and that I was 6+2. Now the thing was, I felt I was being really responsible after the ERPC. I did NOT have unprotected sex (always used condoms), I had my first period 6 weeks after the ERPC, which was infact not a period and I bled two weeks ago for one day only. Last week my Hcg levels were 10,000. Thinking I may have bled due to all the crap my body had been through. I've been so worried that I've fallen pregnant too quickly and its all going to happen over again. Thankfully the hospital have been great and are taking me for another scan a week today to see if they can detect a heartbeat, but obviously I'm not hopeful. I've had constant really strong period pains and every website I go on says that you should defininitely wait for at least one period before falling pregnant. I feel that if I lose this one, I've set myself up for a fall. Obviously the condom burst on us, but I had no idea, we've hardly ever used these as I had always been on the pill. I guess I just wanted to know if this has happend to anybody else and if they managed to get a baby at the end of it.

I’ve just finished reading through this old thread and it’s helped me so much! I have a tiny bit of hope now. I had a MMC with medical management on the 23 of April. I’m now waiting for my HCG levels to drop, absolute torture! DH and I are keen to start trying ASAP but I’ve been told that I need to wait for levels to drop to 0, and wait for one period (I’m not sure I want to wait though!) @Mommybear05 hope you get some good news soon!

@Rainbowhope11 sorry for your loss. Yes it’s horrible waiting for the levels to drop. I got a cheap pregnancy test and it was so depressing willing it to be negative. I don’t know about your personal situation but if u are ready I believe in most cases u can try again straight away. That’s what I’m doing anyway without waiting for period. Then again I didn’t have the medical management. Hope u get your bfp soon too. If you want some support or ttc buddies I’m on a thread for women ttc after miscarriage and it’s been so helpful! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3844298-TTC-after-miscarriage-April-2020?pg=29&order= The link is here if you would like to join us for a chat and to share our journeys.

@Mommybear05 thank you so much, I'd love to join that thread! I find these posts really comforting

@Rainbowhope11 same here. Feel free to check it out and introduce yourself. Everyone is really nice.

Hi ladies @Mommybear05 @Rainbowhope11 - so sorry to hear about your experiences.

Just saw there had been some activity on this post so thought I'd pop up. I was pregnant in September - lots of positive tests across a few weeks and then turned negative. I was gutted, no bleeding or anything :( HCG levels were tested and had dropped so just had to wait for nature to take it's course. Incredibly cruel and confusing time.

My story had a silver lining, I tried again as soon as the bleeding from the m/c stopped, I didn't wait for a period the following month - I got pregnant again in early October and my baby is due on July 16th!

I know it's not the same for everyone but everything I read made me think there wasn't a chance I'd get pregnant before I'd had a normal cycle after miscarriage and I know the doctors don't 'advise' it but it happened for me and rainbow baby will be here in just a few months.

Wishing you all the best of luck and hope my story brings some hope - I was devastated, confused, felt betrayed by my body and it was a horrible time but rainbow babies arrive when you need them :) xx

@sophia1108 thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. And sorry for your loss. I’m now cd2 first period post mc. We didn’t wait either but opks suggest I didn’t ovulate this cycle but maybe I did I don’t know. Cycle post mc was 31 days so I’m taking as a positive time and ready to try again.
Wishing you al the best with your pregnancy and thanks again for taking the time to share xx

Hi ladies, I'm gong through similar right now. I had a mc on 19th march (4 weeks ago today), I was 6 weeks pregnant & was devastated. My husband and I decided to put off ttc again until this coronavirus madness is over, we did have unprotected si after 2 much wine 2 weeks after the mc but I didn't really think much of it, we had been trying for 5 months when I fell pg last time & I had been religiously tracking ovulation & timing the si perfectly.
I have felt pregnant the last week or so, getting breathless while running, very sore breasts & nipples very nippy, I have an 18 mth old who still breastfeeds & he's lost interest again which happened in March when I was pg.
I took 3 tests last night, clear blue weeks indicator said 1-2 weeks. I also did a tesco own brabd & freedom and they were both faint positives.
I'm such a mix of emotions, I don't know how to put it but I can't feel happy as I'm still grieving the last baby. I'm so nervous about the pandemic, my husband is on the shielding list so wing be able to attend any scans. And also I really don't know how I'm cope with another mc if it happens again.

Reading your stories of positive outcomes had lifted my spirit. Is how I'm feeling normal? This is a very much wanted baby but I'm just so confused.

@Lori86 hi and sorry for your loss. My mc was happening when yours was so I really do fed your pain.
Firstly can I ask if you have got a negative test post mc? The hcg can stay in your system for a while. I was told to test for pregnancy two weeks post mc to make sure it’s gone. Did you do this? This would confirm that the faint positive is a new pregnancy.
Regarding covid it’s your personal choice. I’m not going to put off ttc at all. Everyone’s feelings and circumstances are different though.
I think it’s ok to be happy about a new pregnancy it doesn’t mean you are over the mc but allow yourself a bit of happiness 🌈 if this has happened to me I would be so overjoyed! I understand your concern regarding Mc again but remember you aren’t any more likely for it to happen again this time. Most of the time the mc are just bad luck and you go on to have a healthy pg! So keep telling yourself this every time that worry creeps into your mind!

@mommybear05 I'm so sorry you had the same experience. Its so hard so my heart goes out to you. yes I've had a negative test, the day before the mc I did one of the cb weeks indicators on a whim & was shocked to only see 1-2 weeks when it should have been 3+. The following day I did the second one & it was negative. The bleeding started that night, I attended a&e & they did another urine dip which was negative too. I also did another a week later.
I keep telling myself I'm no more likely to mc this time but I cave shake the fear. Thank you for your words, I know I should be happy & deep down I am. I think I'm just in shock & scared.

@lori86 that’s great news that you had your negative test in between. I understand that you are worried this will happen again. I’m sure I will be. But as I said it really doesn’t mean that the same thing will happen again. You are no more at risk than anyone else who just found out they’re pregnant. How is your other half feeling about it?

@mommybear05 fingers crossed. Fingers crossed for you too, have you had your af since? I really really hope you get your bfp soon x
My husband is delighted, scared, shell shocked, afraid at the thought of seeing me go through mc again but hopeful. Really a similar range of emotions to me!! Tbh he didn't want to wait to ttc again at all, it was me who made that decision so I think it's maybe less of a shock to him.

@sophia1108 thank you so much for taking the time to read our posts and respond 😊 I'm so sorry for your loss, but thrilled to hear that there was a positive turn to your story! I'm hoping to be pregnant very soon, but still waiting for Hcg levels to drop! Have been dtd every so often, so I guess if it's meant to be, it will be. All the best with the rest of your pregnancy😊

Hello guys I hope you don't mind me joining you? I'm so glad to see this thread dates 2020! I'm going through the exact same and happy to be able to talk it out (maybe - a little)
I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages I would have been 12 weeks today and a friend has just posted they're expecting a baby! Happy for them but gutted selfishly for me. X

@Jonsey1987 I'm so sorry for your loss! It's such a horrible experience to go through and I definitely feel your pain. I just had a missed miscarriage on the 23 March, still waiting for Hcg levels to drop, I feel like it's taking forever. Please feel free to join us on TTC after miscarriage - April 2020 part 2 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3878305-TTC-after-miscarriage-April-2020-part-2 that thread is pretty active and everyone has been so lovely and welcoming ever since I joined last week. It's been great to talk to other ladies going through the same experience, hopefully it will be helpful for you too 😊

@Rainbowhope11
Thanks I'll join tomorrow. My EPU have been amazing and gave me blood tests every 48 hours for 2 weeks (in the end I was discharged because they thought they had gone to 28 but then jumped up to 31! Due to corona.) but they scanned me again and said my body had reset 2 weeks after my miscarriage (which was really etopic but resolved naturally) the scan lady said It looked like I'd had a period and she could see a follicle on my right ovary so I was close to ovulating. We dtd, my lifestyle has changed because of working from home and now I'm over thinking.

Im now nearly 6 weeks down the line from the miscarriage and 3 from a possible ovulation and was expecting my period. Its still not here. Did an early test on Monday which was negative. - at which point I think I was 4 weeks since the period not miscarriage(in my last pregnancy I didn't get a positive until I think 5 weeks?!) not sure if I'm pregnant / over thinking and I'm getting frustrated at the fact I've not bled this week or have a positive result. Not bothered which way it goes. Just feel in a rut!
Sorry for the rant!

@Jonsey1987 oh dear! That must be so frustrating for you not knowing what's going on. I hope that you get a BFP soon, or at least AF shows up so that you know that everything is fine. I've heard from some of the other ladies that your body can try and ovulate several times before it actually does happen, so perhaps you ovulated a bit later than you think. Are you tracking with opk's? I've tried, but still have Hcg in my system so it's useless for me right now.

As for the overthinking, I can totally relate! The staying indoors is starting to drive me completely crazy, and my mind just has so much more time to wonder. Hang in there!

@rainbowhope11
I didn't track ovulation as when I went for my scan the lady said the could see the follicle and it was about to release the egg. (this was 3 weeks after the miscarriage) I thought hcg had to be 0 but it was at 31?? The doc was as confused as me.
Because the 'mass' was stuck in the left tube last time and my pregnancy test didn't show positive when it should have done thenI'm worrying if I am it will be stuck somwhere again. The scan showed I was 'healthy' and I was basically ready to go again. Just so confused. Can't see me getting a period in the 4-6 week window everyone else had been getting. Am thinking ill leave it till Monday to take another test. Before this I was at clockwork 26 day cycle ovulated on day 12! Just want some normality now.... X

@Jonsey1987 hello and sorry you find yourself here. Sorry to hear of your loss I know it’s difficult when you see other people who are pregnant around where you would have been. I’ve been using lockdown to help avoid! No advice on your cycle really- I think the rule is there are no rules but check your if no af in six weeks. But I hope you get a bfp before then if you are ready! My af came back after 31 days but It could be any time I think. As rainbow says please feel free to join our thread if you find talking helps! X

Hi I am so glad to see these posts, they are so reassuring.
I went to my 12 week scan on 23.4.20, unfortunately they explained to me that I was experiencing an embryonic pregnancy (sac was empty). This was so hard without my partner being there due to COVID-19.
The team that was looking after me were such lovely people, they took me down to EPAC where I was given a choice of procedure. I chose the medical management, this was such a shock as I thought I was still pregnant having all of the symptoms still.
The next step is to take a pregnancy test in a week or so to see if it is negative, I think we want to TTC straight away however I don’t know if we should not having a period first. There are some great good news stories on here. I guess I just want some people’s opinions who have been through the same thing. Thanks

@Nailvarnish1 hello so sorry for your loss. That sounds so similar to me only I started bleeding at nine weeks and did it naturally. They scanned and I too had an empty sac although my husband was there. I can’t imagine what it would be like to get all the way to 12 weeks and also having symptoms. I didn’t have the usual nausea so I kind of knew something wasn’t right.
I don’t blame you wanting to try again. Good luck

Dear Nailvarnish1 , I’m so sorry to hear about your loss :( I can relate to your loss , I had a miscarriage at 15weeks pregnant on the 27/03/2020 after trying to conceive for almost 4years :( my waters broke and nature just took its call after thinking my baby was safe at my 12week scan, It just goes to show anything is possible ,even when you think your out of your fear zone for your baby . The nurse gave me a tablet to clear out the remaining of the placenta that was still inside me , she also advised me to wait for my period to come before tying to conceive again . I don’t see any harm in trying once blood has stopped from miscarriage . I stopped bleeding a week after my miscarriage . And tried to conceive but wasn’t in luck , as I’ve started my period few days ago , exactly 28days after my miscarriage . I Will keep trying to conceive after my period is finished and I won’t give up hope . It’s possible to fall pregnant after your miscarriage and before your next period . I hope your okay ...

So sorry for your loss too, I always thought it would never happen to me. How wrong was I but I feel comfort in knowing we aren’t alone.
I guess no one knows what is going to happen, I know whatever is meant to be will be and when the time is right it will happen. It has brought me a lot of comfort just to be reading this forum. I hope everyone gets what they want and we can carry on helping people who need it during difficult times like this. Thanks everyone

@nailvarnish1
I'm so sorry to hear youve had that news and you've had to do it alone. I was 6 and a half weeks, I miscarried naturally and I've just gotten my period back literally 7 weeks after :( I pushed last week for more bloods because my hormones were going crazy!! I feel so much better for my first period and more 'back to normal' Give yourself time to heal - it's hard in lockdown and there's nothing to stop you ttc - but go easy on yourself. Good luck x

Hi Everyone!
I was also so happy to see a thread from 2020!

I miscarried at "11 weeks" although pregnancy was deemed unviable at 8 weeks. Baby only grew until 6 weeks. Had to take misoprotosol as nothing was happening on its own.

Bleeding was about one week - on day 11 I had really bad lower pain on one side and back - I thought I was getting sick but I think maybe if possible this had something to do with ovulation. Days 12, 13, 14, 15 I had plenty EWCM and no more bleeding. We TTC all of those days - as these threads have given me comfort on not waiting a cycle if feeling well.

I am now one week past ovulation and feeling a bit queasy and tired - similar to one week after I was pregnant the first time. On day 12 my BETA was 95HCG. It will be interesting to see if it was possible to conceive with it in my system... Will need to wait one more week before a test.

Has anyone knowingly ovulated with HCG in their system?
