Hi ladies

Would appreciate some advice, or just want to get this off my chest really.

Apologies if this is a bit long winded and tmi in some places but its my first post! And sorry if I have put it in the wrong place.

I had a missed miscarriage early October last year and after that had some bleeding in November. I wouldn’t call it a period as it was only light spotting for 2-3 days and I usually get heavy periods which last about a week. Also I am really irregular too!

I didn’t have any bleeding in December at all, but on 4th Jan I got my first “proper” period since the MMC. Hubby and I did the deed on 11th Jan just after period ended. We have been avoiding doing it before I had my period as I wanted my body to get back to normal first.

Fast forward to this week and I have had some brown spotting over the last 2 days with some small clots… I was a bit worried that I was bleeding again so soon after my period so did a pregnancy test which came out as positive showing 1-2 weeks.

I’ve just been to the doctor who thinks that I am not pregnant as its too early to detect especially as my period was only 2 weeks ago and the test was too sensitive. He thinks my hormones may not have regulated since the MMC. But seeing as I have had a proper period I don’t think the test should have shown as positive now?

The GP recommends that I wait til when my next period would have been due (early Feb) before testing again as its too early to do anything now such as hormone/blood tests!

So at the moment I am really confused.. Am I pregnant or not? And should I be worried, seeing as since I came back from GP the flow is now red and more “clotty”?

I don’t know how I am going to get through the next few weeks. It will be heartbreaking if I have to go through it all again, although I think I have already resigned myself to the fact.

I am so sorry that you are going through this...

Did you take a pregnancy test after your mc or have any tests done to check your hcg levels??

Is their a chance that there is some retained tissue left from your mc?

I didn't do any tests after mmc so not sure if it's retained tissue or anything. But I thought having a period this month would have cleared it all out?

At the moment think it's just a waiting game but I have no idea what to feel. Happy that I may be pregnant? It might be a false positive? or worried that I might be showing signs of miscarriage again?

Sometimes it can take more than one cycle to clear things if you miscarried naturally... how are you feeling? Any updates?

heya

the spotting has stopped now... I think I'm just going to wait til Feb now before I do another test to see for sure if I am pregnant or not...

Then I will go to GP again to do the HCG tests etc... fingers crossed!!
