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.

Hello @hellobaby99
Sorry for your loss,
Yes it is possible! I miscarried 8/9 weeks ago at 6 and a half ish weeks (well it was etopic) but managed naturally. I'm not sure what treatment you had and whether it's advisable? I was offered the cancer drug (methoziate?????) and so it wouldn't have been recommended . It took 7 weeks for me to have a period after the mc :( and literally just got the smiley face tonight on the ovulation thingy. 😍😍😍 Yey

Going back to your question. As mine happened just before lockdown I was monitored and had bloods every 48hrs for 2 weeks and a scan. My bloods were 31 and she could see a follicle on my right ovary and told me I was about to ovulate so there is a chance.
After the mc I did feel more pregnant. My boobs initially went down but then came back and I cried at everything about twice a week for 7 weeks! But looks like after my first period I'm back to my normal.
Fingers crossed and its good to hope!

Hi everyone,
It’s so reassuring to read this thread, although it’s awful that we’ve all had to go through this terrible time.
We went for an early reassurance scan when I was 6 weeks and saw a little flicker of a heartbeat which was the most amazing thing but then I went for my 12 week scan on 28.04.2020 to be told that the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks 4 days and there was no heartbeat. I had medical management as nothing had/was happening naturally.
We definitely want to start trying again as soon as we can but it took us a year to conceive this time and my biggest concern is that it’ll take this long or even longer again. Does anyone have a similar experience to this or any advice?

Jennica · 16/05/2020 11:33

So this all happend to me! I'm pregnant almost 7 weeks. I conceived this baby immediately after I lost my other baby at 5 weeks 5 days. With that MC I bled naturally and didn't receive any interventions. I took urine ovulation tests and it showed I ovulated 14 days after the first day of my miscarriage.
Everything was going swimmingly and my doctor and I agreed that my due date was set by the first day of my previous MC. Then I had a dating scan. It put me at 9days behind. Which didn't add up to me at all if I looked at when ovulated. My HCG continues to rise but it looks like I might be dealing with a second MC in a row.
So in short. Waiting for a full period post MC is helpful for dating and reassurance for you.

Fingers crossed that my next ultrasound shows a heartbeat. 🙏

Hi ladies, I commented on this thread last month when I found out I was pregnant a month after my miscarriage. I'm so sorry to hear about all of your losses, I'm more 9+3. I had s scan last week and everything was perfect so fingers crossed.
@jennica I hope you're scan went well. It's so hard going through a miscarriage once never mine twice especially so close together but hopefully it's good news. I'm thinking of you x

Jennica · 24/05/2020 09:48

@Lori86 I didn't make it to my 3rd ultrasound I miscarried again 2 days ago :( it's appears I was 9 weeks like the calendar predicted when it happend.
Oh well time to keep trying! Sad
This time around (after second MC) I'm definitely not even going to try until after my first period returns as Im not wanting to end up in another gestational date-guessing game.

Lori86 · 24/05/2020 16:44

@jennica oh I'm so sorry to hear that.
It's so unfair, I hope you're ok. Take your time and be good to yourself. Fingers crossed you get your rainbow baby soon xx

Jonsey1987 · 17/06/2020 13:43

Just thought I'd write an update. After 3 cycles (my first one of about 50 days) a 'normal one' and a strange one I've just found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant!! Hopefully it will stick. Hopefully light at the end of the tunnel. Fingers crossed for you guys x

ROBERTSON89 · 17/06/2020 22:46

Hi all,

I unfortunately had a missed miscarriage and found out at my 12 week scan that the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. This was so difficult to bear. I had my surgery to remove all pregnancy tissue on 17th May. Stopped bleeding pretty much after a week and my husband and I decided to try again ASAP. I do have PCO so that’s tough as I don’t ovulate every month. It’s been nearly five weeks and still no period but for the past week I have felt crazy lower back pain and coming and going cramps like I’m about to come on and then I don’t. I was feeling like this during my first pregnancy and so I decided to take a test 3 days ago which was positive but very faint line then I did a digital one and it said I was pregnant and conceived 1 to 2 weeks ago. So should be nearly four weeks but I decided to take another one today and it came back negative. So I just wonder if it was just the HCG level in my body. And I’m actually not. But it’s so crazy how I have been getting heartburn, back pain, cramp, nausea. I wonder if anyone has been through something similar. Thanks so much and best of luck to everyone xxx

Jennica · 18/06/2020 03:04

Congrats!! Sounds to me like you're pregnant without a cycle between your last MC.
Easiest way to tell is have two blood tests with your local doctor and see of the HCG (that's making the pee test positive) is rising vs falling.
Be cautious however, there's a few of us on here that have all conceived immediately and then gone on to miscarry again. Perhaps, because our uteruses haven't built up that internal lining again via a period, but really who knows. Flowers fingers crossed

Tools80 · 18/06/2020 11:21

Hi everyone. I had a MMC at almost 11 weeks on 25th May, all passed naturally and a scan 2 days later confirmed it had all gone and bleeding stopped a week later. We had unprotected sex a few days after I stopped bleeding and I think that I may have ovulated a couple of days after that again?? So it's been less than 4 weeks since the MC and I have been having a bit of spotting. Not sure if my period is starting or it's implantation bleeding. I never did any tests after the MC to check my HCG levels so I don't know if they ever went to 0. Such confusing, stressful times!

ROBERTSON89 · 18/06/2020 12:05

Thanks so much. My GP unfortunately doesn’t carry tests for pregnancy so they have asked I contact the hospital. It’s uncertain times I guess, when I got the negative I was upset. But just never know especially when I haven’t had my period so hard to monitor. Will keep updated Xx

HTBAM · 24/07/2020 15:25

Hi everyone ! I know its late but I finally found a chat that openly talks about miscarriages. So, I hope I am welcomed in this chat. I am 27 yrs old and I had been trying to get pregnant for years. It has put me into a mild depression and I drink liquor a lot and focus on my homework in graduate school to avoid feeling the pain of not being a mom. I finally got pregnant for the first time in june only to find out june 19 that I was having a miscarriage. The doctor said I was pose to be seven weeks but I was only 4-5 weeks and they see just a gas sac smh. I instantly went into a deeper depression because my mother and father was beyond happy as well a my long term boyfriend (that I live with and been together for 4 1/2 years. Meet in undergrad and graduated together so hoping to be a wife soon lol). What made it worst was my boyfriend was so happy he cried and called all of his friends and told them he was going to be a father..smh.. However I went on to have a natural miscarriage and I did a pregnancy test after the natural passing and it said negative. I am currently on cycle day 36 and according to the miscarriage in my app because the doctor stated to treat it as if it were a period and I have not bled as if yet. Is it true that you are very fertile after your first miscarriage? Could I be pregnant? Because as soon as the bleeding stopped the next day we bd and we have been bd ever since the bleeding stopped maybe only went 5 to six days without bd.. Im driving myself insane hoping im pregnant again but i just feel hopeless because as previously stated before that was my first pregnancy so I didn’t think i could conceive at all. So, now Im thinking was that my only chance of getting pregnant since I never been pregnant before that?? Help ladies lol

Jonsey1987 · 24/07/2020 16:59

@htbam it's awful ain't it? I'm in the UK and after miscarriage I managed to get pregnant again in 3 cycles. (currently 9 weeks and as nervous as hell) The first cycle after the bleed took 8 weeks!! Keep your head up - it'll happen! Think your now really fertile for about 6 months. Every month that went by and I got my period I could have killed someone and people around me were announcing pregnancy's.... Its awful. Keep distracted and those people who you told will support you so use them!! The say don't get stressed etc... But I know it's not as easy and I did too - it's normal!!! Sounds silly but take folic acid now, cut back on drinking and play the ovulation stick game X

HTBAM · 24/07/2020 19:29

@Jonsey1987 Thank you so muchFor responding to me! It is the absolute worst and I pray it doesn’t take that long. It feels like hellI have had absolutely no bleeding not even a spotty nothing so it’s driving me crazy and I’m trying to keep myself distracted but it’s really hard especially with my partner really wants a baby. But congratulations on your new pregnancy you will be absolutely fine I will pray that you have a healthy full-term pregnancy! You gave me hope that maybe I can get pregnant again!

HTBAM · 24/07/2020 19:30

@Jonsey1987 Oh by the way I’m still taking prenatal pills as the doctor told me too. I’m not sure what that supposed to do?

Jonsey1987 · 24/07/2020 19:55

@htbam I went to my early pregnancy unit and once to the docs - they tested my hcg (for 2 weeks ever 48 hours) until I got to 0 and scanned me to make sure I was clear etc.... They measured the lining on the uterus (and actually saw I was about to ovulate) think positive. You will have proper shit days. Speak lots to your friends. 1 in 4 miscarry so just think as that's it - you've had your one. The docs said it was like my body had reset and everything looked really healthy after the scan. Chin up don't be harsh on yourself! I'm 32 and was worried about my age etc. It'll be so worth it when it happens! X

HTBAM · 24/07/2020 22:27

@Jonsey1987 I will try to remain positive. I will keep you posted!

Mumof3hopefully4 · 04/10/2020 12:02

Hi I’m new to this page and read all threads back and so happy to see this feed is still open 2020.
Let me start of with im so sorry all the mumma’s and dads that went through this .. I’m a mum of 3 beautiful boys and I found out I was very early pregnant on the 23/09/2020 and my partner and I was so happy as we have been trying to conceive. My blood HCG was only reading at 42 and the doctors just thought I was only 2 weeks pregnant, then next week had another HCG and was 57 but doctors were concern of the low rise. Again they just put it down to being very early. Then on the 29/09/2020 I woke up with so much cramping pain and started a light brown bleeding and got worse and had clots and didn’t know at the time but thought I saw something pass through in toilet and now I know it was the baby .. over the day and ended up in the emergency room that late afternoon which make things worse it was my youngest son 7th birthday.. got told possibly in early miscarriage but not confirmand my HCG come back 50 so dropped . My partner and I was a mess and so confused and just wanted answers so we could be ok let’s deal with it but not knowing for sure Was so confusing how to feel but we prepared ourselves for the worse. Continue next day still cramping and bleeding and Had to get the internal vagina ultrasound and normal ultrasound and they could see even the sac yet .. got referred to the early pregnancy Centre and couple days later had appointment and confirmed I miscarriage as my HCG was back down to 9. Got to go back this Friday for next test to check my levels are back to 0 which I believe they already have .. did pregnancy test and was all coming back negative. My partner and I had sex already as my bleeding has stopped and only have like a very light brown now and again. Emotional doing much better and still sad don’t get me wrong this will stay with me forever and honestly reading this thread has made me feel much better and give me hope and we are trying to full pregnant again and have a feeling will happen very soon . Praying, hoping and staying positive for our rainbow baby . Will keep you all posted and gives me hope that women fell pregnant again straight away. When it’s ment to happen it will and just put it out in the universe and it will happen. Happy to chat and look forward to following everyone’s story’s xx

Mumof3hopefully4 · 04/10/2020 12:04

Oh and sorry but forgot to say my body did it all naturally and didn’t have to take any medicine ect. I was 7weeks 2 days but baby was only HCG 4weeks

Praying2BaMom · 30/10/2020 21:43

Hey everyone! So I had a miscarriage on October 5th at 5 weeks (chemical pregnancy). My fiancé and I wanted to try again right away, so I tracked my LH levels once the minimal (and I mean it only came out when I peed,
Not like the movies and horror stories I’ve heard about) miscarriage bleeding stopped. So I ovulated last Wednesday, confirmed by ovulation tests and an LH level reader. Sunday my uterus felt like it was was having a muscle spasm, then Sunday night I had that watery pink blood that happened 1 time while wiping. This whole week I’ve spotted brown discharge (again, only when I wiped, that’s how little spotting it is). But I’m still having some today, 9DPO. Pregnancy tests are either very faint with blue dye, or negative with the pink dye tests. My question is, anyone get pregnant before your next period after miscarriage? And if yes, did You have longer implantation bleeding than what the internet says you should have (the 2-3 days max)? Thank you in advance!

Marieeve · 19/01/2021 17:30

I hope someone will help me, i feel so alone ! I miscarried my first baby on dec 13th. Got pregnant on the second month of trying. Stopped bleeding 5 days later. Its been 37 days now. I tested on jan 8th and it came back negative. Tested again last saturday jan 16th, negative again. Chances of me being pregnant ?? Not pregnant and period showing up ? I just wanna have a baby and be a mom. I dont know whats happening. should i test again this week ? An i driving myself crazy ?

Jonsey1987 · 19/01/2021 18:30

@Marieeve its proper shitty.... If you want the honest answer then my period took 2 months to come back - I went back to the docs as its expected to be back after 4-6 weeks but I'm living proof this is not the case... Its hard because you always think positively thinking there still could be a chance. But 2/3 of the longest months of my life later I got pregnant again. I'm 4 weeks off my due date now. Every month I lived in hope, heads up - it'll come. Don't be harsh on yourself. Give it a another 10 days and go and see your gp if you haven't had your period by then :(

Jayjays · 03/05/2021 05:03

So I recently had a D&C on April 12 2021. Bleed for a good 5 days. My partner and I were eager to try again so we did straight after bleeding. My hcg levels are slowly dropping down. Just wanted to know does the clear blue weeks indicator drop down too or will it still say 3+ weeks pregnant on it?

LittleTiger007 · 03/05/2021 10:52

I had a miscarriage last July at 10 weeks with a d&c at 12 weeks. I fell pregnant again in august (and this was all after 10 years+ of wanting a baby!) I fell pregnant again very quickly with no bleed at all in between.
I am now nearly 38 weeks pregnant and the baby is due the same week (date wise) as we first conceived last year... which is rather lovely.

Congratulations OP Flowers
