Getting pregnant right after a MC or MMC...

[eme]

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me popping in here. I am 5 weeks past my miscarriage, mmc was confirmed 7 weeks ago. I had multiple ultrasounds confirming everything had passed as well as my lining being back to normal. I never took a hpt to confirm negative because I knew I could easily become obsessed with poas and waste a ton of money haha

We were told to wait to try for a few cycles, two days after I finally stopped bleeding we had sex (yay it had been two months!! lol) and the very next day I had VERY distinct ovulation pain We've only had sex a few other times since because I've been worried about getting pregnant too soon after the mc and DH pulled out each time just to make sure.

Well for the last week I started getting symptoms like CLOCKwork just like when I got my BFP in January. I even had pink-tinged CM at 11 days past when I felt ovulation. So last night DH and I were at the gym and I got really nauseous and I told him, just to be safe (since I've had a bit to drink here and there in the past few weeks) I wanted to take a test to confirm it was negative. Well last night and this morning it turned BFP within seconds. It's not super dark, not light either.....it's a distinct line that shows immediately.

Is it possible that this is a "false" positive and just leftover HCG from my last pregnancy? I know none of you can give me a firm answer to that, just curious how long it took for your tests to show negative. I would think I'm far enough past the miscarriage that even if it were to be left over hcg, it wouldn't be so dark so fast. Thanks for any advice you can give or experiences you can share.

Thanks button, I feel like I want to test at the same time I think that if I wait then I will be certain if I don't get a visit from af after at least two months, also that would be two months off my waiting time too if I was to get a bfp!!

Oh dear, I don't know I'm confused and seem I little jumbled up in nervousness lol...

I'll keep chatting and see if I can come to some kind of level with myself haha...

It's just one small step taking a hpt yet it seems like a giant leap..

Bushmumma - maybe just see how long you can hold out before testing.

Eme - I got a negative about 3 weeks after miscarrying. Tbh it sounds like it might be an actual BFP. If it is I hope it's your rainbow.

Eme I got a negative 8 days after d&c.

Seems like a BFP to me. Any chance you can get bloods done to confirm rising hcg? X

 

[eme]

yeah my OB wanted me to come in today and then again on Friday but I'm flying out tomorrow (I'm a flight attendant) and won't be back during their business hours until Tuesday next week so she told me to just wait until then and we'll do the blood work. She said there's no need to rush so that made me feel better.

Wow, brilliant job!

I did a hpt a couple of days after I ovulated this month to check that it was negative, and it was. So that was about two weeks after miscarriage? Definitely sounds like you got a proper BFP, Eme. Congrats!

Welcome to the newcomers

Eme, I really think that sounds like your GL with your blood work lovely I hope this is your rainbow.

Bush, with both my MMC's AF was 12days later than normal and I also had pregnancy symptoms during those times. Our body can be so cruel to us afterr MC but the only way to really know is to test and if its poss, test again a few days later to see if the line is getting darker. Its difficult for you as you were never advised to keep testing post MC until you got a neg. I was getting faint positives for a looooong time after my last MMC then when my neg came the wasn't too far behind. GL hunny.

How is everyone else feeling? xxxx

Looking forward to starting OPKs tomorrow, haven't POAS for ages!

Kind of wishing people would stop asking me when we are going to have a second.

CD 2 of AF. It's been very light, but I've had bad cramping and tiredness, so I think it's a good cycle. Ready to test for OPK! I should get my positive around my hubby's birthday. I'm getting very antsy to get my next BFP. Nothing compares to seeing that first one. My friends are popping up left and right and having healthy, stickies, which is so bittersweet. Definitely ready for my turn.

I know what you mean. People keep asking me if I am pregnant! X

AF is due today, I took a digital test this morning and it said Not Pregnant. I really don't feel like AF is on the way though, a couple of days ago I had what felt like AF cramps, but nothing came of it. Those cramps are gone now, and I don't feel at all like I usually do when she comes. I wonder if maybe she's coming late due to the MC.

I'm really upset about my bfn this morning, because now it means we have to wait until January to start ttc again due to my crazy school schedule and practicum that I have to complete. My first bfp was PERFECT timing, exactly what we had planned for and we were so pleased that everything was working out perfectly. I only got to enjoy that feeling for 5 days.

Oh and the bloating, it is SHOCKING! My belly went back to normal right after the MC for about two weeks, and then the bloating hit and I am soooo uncomfortable!

 

[laodicean]

AF feels like it's right around the corner for me, 4 days early. Not cramping, just that sense of heavy draining that I associate strongly with impending AF and have never to my recollection had when pregnant. BFN this morning at 10dpo, so I guess I'm going to have another couple of cycles of feeling pregnant again, like last time. Which puts me off trying. I can't be doing with the "am I aren't I" games that my body plays after miscarriage.

 

[jessmke]

I'm on CD 36 and still waiting for AF. I took a hpt this morning and it was negative, so I think it's just taking AF a little longer than usual to show up after my mc. I wish she would just show up so I would know one way or another!

So disappointed that now we have to wait for another year before we can try again. I think if we had never had a bfp to begin with I wouldn't be so upset, but the fact that everything worked out just ask planned, and then to have that taken away from us has made this whole thing so much worse.

Jess if your cycle is going to be much longer or messed up next cycle too maybe try Vitex? xx

Thanks, I'll look into that!

I'm not able to try next cycle, we have a very weird year coming up and the only way we could make it work with a baby is if I were to fall pregnant in March/April, so I've missed that window now. We can't try again until February next year. If I did happen to fall pregnant before then we would obviously make it work, but it would require a lot of sacrifices that we are trying to avoid making.

The weird thing is that I was always planning on waiting until 2015 to ttc, but my OH really wanted a baby so we decided to work it into our plan for 2014. Now it isn't going to happen, and I am the one who is devastated and my OH is ok with it!

My rational brain is trying to tell me that this all for the best - I have so much going on in 2014 that I wouldn't be able to really enjoy being pregnant, and being preggers would be a bit of a struggle with some of my commitments coming up. It'll be a lot easier and less stressful if we wait for a year, but my emotional brain just can't seem to get on board with not having a baby this year.

I know what you mean, Jessmke. We didn't get pregnant on purpose, and I had no intention of adding to our family until I had a more stable job and we'd paid off more debt and maybe had somewhere a bit bigger to live - perhaps in a year or so.

Now it's all I can think about, and it's driving me crazy.

My rational brain is telling me to go back to plan A, but the rest of me is desperate for a new squish.

My cycles after miscarriage are always wonky - and depending on how far I got in the pregnancy, chock full of symptoms that convince me I'm pregnant when I'm not. This month was no different - still feel pregnant, but day 2 of a light AF that arrived 2 days early in the end. The miscarriage that I had at 9+6, the following cycle was 48 days long with a really heavy AF, and again, I'd spent most of it convinced I was pregnant again. Wishful thinking is really painful sometimes.

Hi ladies, it's been 5 weeks post mc and last night I had pink blood when I wiped nothing for the rest of the night and this morning only again a little when I wiped. DH and I have been ttc straight away lots of trying as bleeding stopped on 1st of April close to everyday since then (sorry tmi).
I have had some small cramps and heavy feeling in my breats for the last week. I know that I won't find my answer here I am only asking for feedback.
I do want to be pregnant again so I hope it's not in my head. I'm not ready to test yet as I think I'll wait until this spotting goes or turns in af.

Wondering what other ladies have experienced at this time and if you think it's possible it could be implantation bleeding?

Please help any advise

Always hopeful xo

Bushmama i really hope its good news for you.
symptoms can be weird after mc but spotting could be a very good sign. Keep us posted.

im driving myself mad already and af isn't due until at least Saturday.

Symptom spotting is a nightmare.. do you do a chart too? GL x
