Any success stories of a BFP after a M/C? Big UPDATE PG 8

[breakingdawn]

Just curious if anyone has any success stories of a fairly quick BFP after a m/c? I received a BFP in August but a week later started bleeding and levels went back to 0. It was a fairly quick/easy miscarriage. It was almost like a normal period just a little heavier and maybe 2 days longer. I had been getting blood drawn for my hcg since I was an ectopic risk but thankfully that was not the case. My levels topped out around 89 only, before dropping back to 0 in about a week. Bummer.

Anyway, a week later around CD15 I got a blazing dark OPK. It was somewhat of a relief to know my body was already back to normal. We got about 4 tries in around ovulation time. But since I have one tube, it takes me longer to get pregnant. I keep hearing stories about being more fertile after a m/c then some say it is just a myth. Just wondering if there are any personal stories out there. We were TTC #3 6 months before my m/c and while it was not nearly as long as some, my first two only took a couple months.. I just don't want to go through another 6 months. But as long as it sticks next time, I will be happy.

This happened to me last month. I got a BFP, then at 5W2d I bled out just like a heavy but only two day period. Tested back down to 0. This month I tested on day 37 of my cycle and strong line BFP. My first scan is Monday. I've read lots of other stories like that, the next cycle BFP, but I couldn't believe my eyes. We had a loss in Dec and had been trying since then for the one in July.

I'm sorry for your losses ladies! I had a MC just short of 8 weeks starting on August 12th. I suffer from not ovulating due to low progesterone and previous MCs due to the same, the last MC in August confirmed this. But to my surprise I received a BFP "pregnant 1-2 weeks" on a digi at lunch time today. I had what may have been a pos opk about 9-10 daya ago- before my first period returned but didn't think much of it because I'm not too familiar with them. But anyway, I used my MC as a new cycle and was expecting my period in 5 days from today- making that possible pos opk just about right on.

I'm now panicking because of my progesterone levels and trying to make an appt ASAP.

Baby dust and luck to us all!! Keep us updated!

Gypsy - can you call your provider and get them to call in a prescription for you? I was able to get an RX faxed in the next morning after my BFP. Hope for sticky beans for us all!

I have my progesterone pills but I have not started taking them yet as my OB didnt give me any direction. We were going to wait to try to conceive after our first cycle back but we got pregnant now.Is it too late to start taking them after BFP ?! I thought it was best to take them throughout your cycle before your BFP.

 

[Gypsy1106]

And I don't know how many to take either. I'm currently switching OBs because mine is incredibly awful lol. My new OB appointment is scheduled for the 20th and I cannot wait that long.

Thanks ladies! Since I only have one tube I know my chances are not as great as everyone else. But at least we got some tries in and my cycle went back to normal fairly quick! We have no explanation for the m/c. I have never had progesterone issues.

 

[Gypsy1106]

Many MCs don't have an explanation unfortunately and from what I've experienced, most doctors don't want to look into it either which makes them even worse for those of us who are trying desperately to conceive. Baby dust to you, breaking.

I had an early miscarriage a few years ago in the November, I didn't realise I was pregnant until I had already miscarried! I got pregnant the month after and my little boy is almost 3!

I also had an early miscarriage in November last year, found out I was pregnant then a few weeks later I started bleeding, got my first period back in January and was pregnant again in February but sadly that one ended at 21 weeks. Im currently in the tww and its killing me already!

 

[breakingdawn]

Thanks for all the support ladies and I'm sorry for all of your losses but glad many of you had rainbow babies. I'll test in about a week but I'm not expecting much. It took 6 months just to conceive this one.

 

[Gypsy1106]

Breaking how many dpo approx are you? I couldn't help myself but to pee on any stick I found since early dpo.

Since I hardly ovulate and have only recently started to by taking a natural supplement Vitex and some other vitamin, I too never thought I'd get pregnant so quickly after my MC. I thought for sure that was it and I'm never gonna conceive again lol. It sounds crazy to even type that out but that's the mess I was/am in, so I think I may understand slightly the fear of not being able to conceive as easily as many others seem to. Keep us updated!

As to the progesterone, my OB told me as soon as I got the BFP, to call and they'd call in the Rx, which they did. it's 200mg orally, which I think is the recommended amount (though I know they have topical as well). I hope you were able to get in touch with them by now!

 

[Gypsy1106]

Oh my goodness- I called new OB that I wasn't scheduled to see until sept 20th hoping they'd have some kind of opening for me sooner- and they were completely perplexed how I could be pregnant again and insinuated that I may still be miscarrying from mid August! After medically confirming my MC was done and following my HCG level down. I'm flabbergasted. The doctor told me it's highly unlikely that I could be pregnant again and is having me wait. I'm at a loss for words. I ovulated and got pregnant and am getting positive pregnancy tests now- I'm not seeing where that could be difficult to fathom. So so frustrating. So to my dismay and significant others dismay, I had no choice but to call old crappy OB and he is faxing bloodwork prescription to lab so I can go tonight. I'm thankful I'll be getting bloodwork done but I absolutely do not want to be stuck with him again!

What a disaster these OBs seem to be. I'm starting to feel crazy(er).

Did you have to take the progesterone 200 mg once a day; or was it (1) 100 mg twice per day. He gave me 100 mg pills. I'm not sure if I should take one at night and one morning, or if it's ok to take both at night due to side effects?

 

[beccabonny]

Gypsy, it's so frustrating with OBs sometimes! I just switched to a new OB, luckily he was the one who had confirmed the MC was cleared out and it was safe to TTC again. I'm really surprised you got that response after ovulating, that's crazy. I'm sure it will be better when you go in! I ended up going to my last OB last month to get the beta tests done as the new one couldn't fit me in (so it was that or the ER and who wants to wait five hours?). I saw that same OB and he said my betas were both at 0 despite having a BFP three days before that. He made me feel crazy! I practically begged him to do some tests, which he agreed to (it felt like he was just placating me). Just confirmed to me how much I didn't like that practice. I had already set up the appt with the new OB and transferred everything over to them right after that appointment.

I take 200mg at night because, like you said, side effects. It does make me very drowsy! I took the first one during the day and it was hard to work!

 

[Gypsy1106]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with OB issues, although I wish it was easier! I practically had to make my old crappy OB look at my medical chart again when talking about my levels originally. It took every bit of my usually very calm significant other to not yell at him lol. And the whole time I was thinking it was me who was crazy and not being clear enough lol. But yes the placation feeling was strong. He begrudgingly just does essentially what I tell him to now but all I have is Dr. Google lol. It would be so wonderful to have an OB who's caring and educated AND listens- and taking the time out to look at my medical chart would just put the cherry on top for me.

So now blood work is gonna be read by my old crappy ob, and new ob that doesn't feel I'm actually pregnant wants me to wait to be seen, and I'll once again be forced to self diagnose/medicate my pregnancy until I can come up with a better plan of action. Phew. This is a full time job in itself- so perhaps to actually keep my real full time job- I'll also take the progesterone pills at night and hope for the best.

I think today is 4dpo? I'm really trying hard not to track or even symptom spot this month because I don't want to be heart broken. Normally I have spotting 2 days before AF so if I don't notice any, I'll test around 12dpo.

 

[Gypsy1106]

I so hope this is your month!

When ttc ds2, I miscarried at 6 weeks and I had a bfp 30 days later

 

[breakingdawn]

I'll keep you ladies posted for sure. Only bummer (if you can even call it that) with a quick BFP is back to blood work every 48 hours to test levels. My arm was so bruised after a week of that last time. But if it means a healthy pregnancy I'll do it all over again...

 

[Gypsy1106]

I got my first bruise yesterday after work and I'm hoping it's the beginning of many tracking this bean. I will throw temper tantrums if I have to to make sure I'm heard about testing frequently!
