Hi
I'm not sure this is the right place
I miscarried 3weeks ago at 5weeks
I stopped bleeding 2weeks ago last week I had cm really strong I brought an ovulation test which confirmed I was ovulating we had sex a lot that week lol as I'd stopped bleeding now 6days laterim having very slight brown discharge cud this be implantation?....

Also a week ago Sunday my hcg bloods where 60 a week later they had only dropped to 21! So I'm wondering if when I ovulated 5days before the 21 reading cud I have conceived I'm bk to the hospital this week to c if they've dropped anymore but I don't wonna get my hopes up but I just feel pregnant help

Just though I'd try a pregnancy test today, 'cause, you know, why not? Um, it's positive! Peed again a little later and used a digital and it was positive too! My doctor won't be too happy, I seem to remember her saying to wait 1 cycle!

Please stick!

Yay!! Congrats!

Hmm, not sure whether you can ovulate with hcg in you system Emzlovliam, but I'm certainly no expert. I tried opks this cycle, but I think because your body is doing so many weird things after a miscarriage they didn't really work. Maybe see if a pregnancy test gets darker over a few days?

CONGRATS! That's wonderful! Much stickiness!!! How many day s past ovulation are you and what are your symptoms?

 

[LucyLake]

Mowat, awesome news and congrats!!! Just one question, you make me so optimistic, my temps have not gone below my cover line and I always thought if they do--you are NOT pregnant. Yours look to have gone under unless you o'ed on Day 22 which is amazing!! Anyway, this was welcome news today as I'm not feeling like this is the month for me although temps look good. Huge congrats!!

Well you can have a positive pregnancy test until you're less than 5 on HCG. I thought I ovulated when I was below 21 as well...who knows for sure. I had a 31 day cycle and then a 25 day cycle last month. All the best xoxo

Hey guys, why is it everywhere you look everyone is pregnant? It makes me so sad but also makes me want to start trying again, ASAP. When is it safe to start trying after a d and c? Xx

I had natural with misoprostol and was advised to wait one cycle. We ended up waiting 2 because of my husband wanting to try for a February baby (his birth month and him just not being ready). I waited 8 years for him to no longer call himself "one and done," so honestly sitting out an extra cycle was small potatoes!!

I will say that my cycles were very different and heavy post MC and I was glad I waited. But, a huge part of me wishes I had gone for it if I could have--it seems like it's worked for a good number of girls TTC again Good luck

 

[mowat]

Thanks everybody. Not sure how many days past ovulation I am, but I think maybe I ovulated on 4th, making me 10dpo. Pretty much just guessing though! No major symptoms---boobs a little sore, some warm pressure in my lower left abdomen. Same symptoms as last time, but hopefully this ends better--3rd times a charm?

Congratulations Mowat!

Any news Awesome? I just don't understand....

They took my blood to test levels today. I should know more tomorrow afternoon.
I thought I was doing ok, bit I am not. I hate having a ray of hope to have it stripped over and over and over and over again. I wish I could curl up on my bed and ignor the world, but I have responsibilities. Every hour or two though I have collapsed in a corner to feel sad and I finally allowed myself to cry.

Update.
Ob office called today and said the hcg was 658. Looking back at all my notes and things I wrote on another TTC board I just don't know what is going on.

Here is the whole story with dates. Maybe someone else can make something of it. On march 27 I started to miscarry, I bled for a couple of weeks and spotted for longer. I had a faintly positive frer test on the 18 of April and a for sure negative test on the 21. I also noted a ton of ewcm on the 21-23. We bd on the 22, and ff says I ovulated on the 23...so five days after my last faintly positive frer after miscarriage. I didn't think I could ovulate so soon after a positive preg test so we didn't protect. That was the only time new conception could have occurred. On may 2 I started to bleed lightly, the 3-4 I bled heavily, 5 was a medium flow, and the 6th I bled light again...a fairly normal period for me. Every day since that day I have spotted. On Sunday the 12th I got a positive pregnancy test. Monday my blood draw showed the level at 658, today another digital test was positive, and tomorrow I have to go in for another draw to see if the levels are rising or falling. Yesterday, the day of the ultrasound I would have been day 20 past ovulation. I would have expected to have seen something by then of there were anything to see, but nothing was apparent on the ultrasound. I am so confused.

 

[EarthMama]

You can't always see something on the ultrasound this early I have heard. I am so sorry for this confusion, I hope you receive clarity soon!!

 

[twinmummy06]

Have they checked for ectopic? Not sure if it will show up this early though. Are they having a follow up scan?

 

[LucyLake]

AwesomeSauce, hope this is it for you . Your situation is why my OB absolutely forced me to ride my HGC levels to 0 and insurance didn't pay for all of it. She explained that it saves a lot of heartache because girls literally think they've had chemicals, ectopics, the whole nine yards! But, in fact they're still going through the initial miscarriage. For example, I had a negative FRER at less than freaking TEN (did I mention 10!! ) that had turned slightly positive when I took a second look an hour later. Additionally, my levels didn't hit 0 until 1 month after the MC. I hope this is a viable pregnancy...the only reason I would be reluctant to say it is-is because your doctor didn't follow your bloodwork all the way until it was negative. Also, I had a "clear" scan Feb 28 and then dropped a gigantic 15 cm Sac 3 days after my baby boy and his placenta came out one after the other on March 2...

BUT it is entirely possible you're pregnant!! After all, you really couldn't have a true period with levels of 658, although my OB mentioned that levels can go up and down post-MC and mine DID. So, have they checked for residual tissue? Have you been given information about an ectopic? Was there a lot of blood during your "period" indicating a chemical? What are your symptoms? Are you having sore breasts, hunger, nausea, peeing a lot, sensitivity to smell?

Hi, Everyone!

I lost my first in January. Felt like it took forever for my hcg levels to get to zero. Then I had a surgery to fix a slight double uterus, and this is my first month TTC again.

I'm 41 and have low egg quality and quantity, so they have me on Bravelle injections to boost my chances. Husband has ED, so we have to TTC with an IUI. That's my quick story!

Love and to all!!!

 

[LucyLake]

Welcome KatS and sorry for your loss

My hcg levels didn't hit zero for 2.5 months after my m/c. My Fertility doc said the levels can rise and fall lots as they drop down to zero. If I'd taken a pregnancy test during that time, it may have shown positive. I wish your doc had done weekly blood tests to follow your levels to zero. I actually got my first period in March but my hcg levels were still too high to TTC again.

Good luck and I hope you get answers!

Couldn't have said it any better. My doctor tested me to 0, but didn't give me my results of those 4 tests until I hit 21 in week 4. I found out later that it was because my levels actually went up (!!!) between weeks 2-3, and they didn't want me to worry even more. Good luck and hope this is our month
