I'm very confused. We got pregnant in July, and had multiple positive pregnancy tests. All was going along well until the first u/s at 9 weeks on September 1. I went in and the doctor couldn't find ANYTHING. I'd had 2 days of spotting (and called the dr), but the spotting was mild and not bright red, so she told me not to worry. In retrospect, it must have been a m/c. So it looks like I m/c'd at about 5 weeks given the timing of my subsequent period, and the fact that at the appt the dr took blood, and I had no HCG.

I haven't taken a home pregnancy test since because I didn't want to be disappointed.

Got my period on 9/7 (normally had 28-30 day cycles). I felt a twinge, which I think was O (though I've never felt that before) on 9/21. We DTD that night once. Dr's appt (follow-up to m/c) on 9/22. She told us to wait at least one more cycle before TTC. We said ok. No DTD since, just to be sure, and I figured the chances of conceiving from the ONE time we DTD were pretty slim.

I'm leaving tomorrow for a work trip for 10 days to Africa (yeah, far away). Period is due on Tuesday. So, "for fun", DH and I decided to take a pregnancy test this morning (11-12 dpo) before I leave, just in case.

I took a digi...


It came back "PREGNANT"

If I really am, I'm beyond ecstatic, but I also know how early it is, that it could be chemical, that so many things could go wrong, and it is like even though I saw the test (and my HCG was at zero a month ago, and I've gotten a period), somehow I either can't or don't quite want to believe it.

So, could I REALLY be pregnant? And is it normal to not believe it after a loss?

Thanks ladies.

Sounds possible to me!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I haven't had a single positive test since my MC in July of 2009, but I got negatives right after I finished bleeding. I'm gonna be a nervous wreck when I am pregnant. I would think it's normal to feel like it's too good to be true. I hope this is your sticky bean!!! KUP!!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

It is possible, but first things first I'd go to your doctor ASAP! ESP if youre traveling out of country. Good luck to you !

***Please for future reference give an introduction first, it's pretty sensitive place here at TTCAL and we've had a few too many fly by's where non-members post bfp stories that our ladies don't need to hear ESP when they're in different stages of grief, healing. Thank you very much!

Sorry for the foo-pah (which I also can't spell ).

The reason I gave all the background was to sort of explain the situation/myself, and I thought by posting "m/c mentioned; possible pg mentioned" it gave notice in the topic to everyone what was contained, so those who didn't want to read it didn't have to.

Didn't mean to offend or upset anyone!

OMGosh, I hope I am praying for the same to happen to me this month. m/c on 9/7. DTD two times w/o preventing, one day with stretchy CM. I realize the chances are slim to none, but .... Keep us posted on what the doc says.

Congrats!!!

[mmllhh]

I hope this is it for you. My doctor told me that we didn't need to wait at all after my MC's, she basically said, if your body isn't ready to be pregnant then you won't get pregnant. Congrats, I really hope this is it for you. and go enjoy your vaca....hope you don't get much morning sickness and you are able to enjoy yourself. Stock up on some sour apple jolly ranchers, they help with the morning sickness.

No you're fine Jessica, we just wanted to know a little more about you like an intro too... it's good to know who we're helping and giving support to No one's offended, don't sweat that!

Have you called your doctor's office to squeeze in ASAP? Or even go to you local ER explain the situation and your concerns, they will more than likely run bloodwork and do an ultrasound right there. So that can confirm pregnancy or if something else is going on. You'll have to keep us posted!
