BFP after miscarriage last month and less than 0.1 AMH

[gypsymama]

I had a miscarriage last month at 5w5d. I miscarried naturally, bled for 5 days. I went right back to tracking my temps and using opks because my Dr. said I could possibly ovulate before getting my first regular cycle after the miscarriage, which is exactly what happened. I got my first positive opk 14 days ago. I have had barely any pregnancy symptoms, as a matter of fact, my temp dropped this morning, by .53 degrees, but still well above the coverline. The only reason why I tested is because I also check my cervix regularly and the os has felt tightly shut the past few days, which normally around the time I'm due for AF the os feels quite open and firm. The only times I've ever noticed that my os is shut so tightly have been during my pregnancy cycles. So, I took a test and lo and behold, !!

I don't know what to think or how to feel. I'm excited, of course, but I have a sense of overhwelming fear and dread. I just went through a miscarriage, I don't know if I could bear another, especially so soon after the last. I called Dr this morning to request beta hCG to confirm that this is a new pregnancy and make sure it's not lingering hCG from last month (although my last bhCG was 6 on 11/24/15 and that was the day before bleeding stopped from the miscarriage) So I think this is a new pregnancy, but I'll be interested to see what the levels are now.

On top of it all, I got results from my AMH blood work last week and it came back less than 0.1, which is basically undetectable. The nurse who called me with the results said I had very very few, if any, eggs left! I was devastated. I was referred to a fertility clinic, but we wanted to do some more tests before going that route to see if there was a chance that I could conceive naturally. So, this is all mind blowing to me and I can't help but worry and worry some more.

For the ladies who got pregnant shortly after a miscarriage, how did you cope with the fear of a repeat miscarriage?

I had a chemical pregnancy and got pregnant 2 weeks later. It was an emotional roller-coaster. By the time I got my BFP I just felt kind of shocked and worn out, not over the moon like I should have been. I checked my knickers multiple times a day for the first few weeks. One thing that did help me was a comment from another girl on here. She said she tries to see carrying her little bean as a priviledge and every day of pregnancy as a blessing no matter what the outcome. I tried to have that attatude and it did help, though the worry never totally goes away. But eventually I was able to relax a bit. Our lovely little girl is 2.5 years now. We also have a 11 month old. Unfortunatly we recently had another loss. I cant wait to get pregnant again but I am dreading the worry of the next pregnancy.

Sorry for your loss and congratulations on the BFP! My earliest pregnancy sign seemes to be a high closed cervix too.

Thanks so much for responding. Sorry to hear about your recent loss. I go in tomorrow for my second beta. The one from Monday was 500, nervous to see what the numbers will be tomorrow. I'm still checking my cervix a couple of times a day. It's still tightly shut. I'm constantly checking the toilet paper after I wipe. I'm driving myself bonkers. Trying so hard to stay positive.

I wish you the best of luck in your TTC journey. What a ride it can be. Enjoy your family and I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

I hope your second betta is good.

I hope your second betta is good.

Thank you. I got the results. At 16 DPO it was 500 and today At 18DPO it's 1279. I have my first scan scheduled for Jan. 7th. Keeping fingers crossed.

Hi I mc in September at 9+4, had only one cycle and am pregnant again. Currently 9+3 so incredibly nervous right now as the same time period approaches. With my mc I had a scan the day I lost it baby was there and had hb but only measured 5+5 so something was clearly wrong. This time I had scan at 7+1 and baby was bang on what it should be which was very reassuring, so to some extent I'm already past where we were before. Have really sore boobs and nausea this time which I didn't have before so I'm just trying to focus on all the positives so far, this pregnancy already feels so different to the last but the worry never goes away. Like you every wipe I'm terrified of what I'll see. I've just ordered a Doppler so I can listen in myself. Fingers crossed for us all this time

That sounds good so far.

So far so good, it sounds. I've suffered from recurrent miscarriages prior to having my two children 17 months apart...my kids are now 2.5 years old, and 16 months. Your hcg progression sounds right on target so far. Will they give you some supplemental progesterone just in case? I had to take vaginal suppositories (progesterone) until 14 weeks with both of my babies, and it did irritate my cervix and cause bleeding during my second pregnancy, which was scary and disheartening...fortunately, that "threatened miscarriage" became my second rainbow baby, and all was well.

PAL is a scary, and often uncertain time. Praying that this is your rainbow baby. One day at a time, for sure.

Congrats on your pregnancy. I'm glad to hear things are better this time around. I've been worrying about not having many pregnancy symptoms, so I went through many pregnancy journals and realized that with both many soon and daughter, I didn't start to get sick until 8 weeks. So, I have time yet. Just worrying myself sick for no reason. I really need to just relax, but it's hard. Being grateful for my two beautiful kiddos and awesome DH is helping me keep things in perspective.

I just got results back from my progesterone taken yesterday at 18 DPO and it was 24. I started my progesterone supplements today 200 mg. The Dr wanted me to stop taking Vitex and didn't want my progesterone level to plummet because of it. I think he said we'll stop it around 11 weeks. I hope to make it that far.
