Ok so here's my story and my issues... on February 18 of this year I had a MC. I was just going into my 7th week. It hurt and was emotionally traumatic but thankfully my DH was by my side and the hospital staff was amazing. About 4 weeeks after I had the MC I started having very strong pregnancy symptoms. I felt just like I did when I was pregnant. I went to the doctor and she gave me a test but it was negative ( didn't surprise me it took 6 weeks to get a + with the first pregnancy). I was late getting AF. 2 days b4 I was gonna test again I started bleeding. It wasn't like my normal AF at all. It was a little lighter and NO cramping at all. ( has never happened to me ...EVER) I then blew off the symptoms as PMS. That was a while ago and just realized I still have the pregnancy symptoms. My breasts have been annoying me so bad. Especially the right one. Im gonna test Friday when I get some $ but if its negative I don't know what to do. I just hope these symptoms go away. But if it is + I'm probably gonna freak out making sure to get my lvls checked like every other day. I don't wanna MC again. I thought I wanted to get pregnant right away after the MC but now when it comes down to it ... I'm actually really scared

Thanks for listening to my issues and ramblings.

I am so sorry for your loss. We all go through waves of emotions during such a difficult time and fear, I feel, is the biggest one. With all 3 of my miscarriages I still felt pregnancy symptoms well after my HCG levels were negative. My last miscarriage in Dec caused my period to become slightly irregular, instead of every 28 day cycles like I have had all of my life they are somewhere from 31 to 35 day cycles. Your body is recovering from a very traumatic experience and some times it takes a little longer then we expected for things to go back to "normal". Though you will see from reading others posts that we all don't know what normal is anymore. I pray that you find the comfort and encouragement I have found on this site. We will be here to listen and answer any questions you may have. Hope you begin to feel better both physically and emotionally very soon.

I am so very sorry for your loss! As far as the fear I think it's normal to be afraid. After having a loss the carefree pregnancy was stolen from you and it's hard to get past that. If you call the doctor and get a beta test they would be able to tell you if your pregnant or not. Even if a HPT does not turn up positive a BT will even if your HCG is only 2 Good luck and keep us posted!
