Possibly pregnant after miscarriage?- Updated in last post with Answer

Sawyers_Mommy · #1 April 5th, 2012, 12:10 PM

Hi ladies, I usually post over in the TTC board but I decided to post this one here. Dh and I had a loss on March 3rd at 7wks. On March 2nd my HCG was 1,350 and on March 5th they were done to 180 a wk later they were below five. We weren't TTC this yet because I haven't gotten my cycles back but we have been using the pull and pray method with one time of not pulling out. I'm not sure when I O'd or if I even have yet but I should have started AF some around March 31st- April 3rd. I haven't got her yet. On April 1st I was having pre AF like cramps and was really excited because I thought she was coming on time but now I don't have any pre af cramps or anything. I took a few test a week ago and I kept seeing EXTREMELY faint lines on ALL the test I took but they were soooo faint and weren't getting darker that I just assumed negative. Yesterday DH was like " What happened to your boobs!?!" lol men have a weird way of putting things lol and I asked him what and he said they looked huge. I had on a undershirt and a t-shirt so I took them off and my bra and asked if they still looked bigger and he said def yeah. The only time my boobs are ever bigger is if I'm pregnant. Also one other thing is my cervix is HIGH when normal is low when AF is close. I got 2 almost positive OPK's today and I've lost my appetite and when I think about fixing something the thought of it makes me want to throw up. I was pinning this off on my new medicine though but who knows. Sorry for such a long storry I just wanted to share everything. I guess my question is has anyone who has had a loss went thru this and AF came or what could be going on besides pregnancy? I am going to also post this in TTCAL to get more input. Thanks in advance for responses

Update: Tested W/ smu semi-concentrated with a $$ test. As soon as the urine went across a line appeared, one way it looks pink but another it just looks like an indent/evap. Has anyone had a evap/indent appear right away with a $$ test?? I'll post pictures but idt you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. I'm gonna take the other in a few hrs but I think they're probably negative. I wish I'd gotten an Answer brand now.

When I had a loss at 7 and a half weeks, I conceived my DD exactly two weeks after the miscarriage. I never had a period. They say you are extra fertile after a miscarriage. When you consider that and your signs, I think it sounds VERY promising. When do you plan to test again?

Hey, I had a loss on March 11th,
I have been ttc since even though the hospital advised against it. I have been using OPKs this cycle and been getting positives the last 3 days. I also have af like cramping and loss of appetite.
It may be your having a longer cycle and Oing. have you been temping??

I hope you get the answer you are wanting xxx

Hi thanks for the reply

I haven't been temping or using opk's reguarly. I've only used the OPK's about 5 times of the past couple of weeks. I bought 40 of them to use once I got my period back because I was going to track my cycle to make sure I was O'ing and everything even though we weren't going to try until my 2nd cycle back. Our doctor reccommend we wait atleast one cycle but she also added that some people don't and it was up to us. Dh isn't ready to TTC again yet though

I of course don't want to rush him either even though I feel ready.

Well im sure you probably know already but opks show up positive sometimes when your pregnant so I would buy a FRER to be sure xx KUP x

Yeah I've heard they can, I got a DARK posiitve with my last pregnancy but that was when I was about 6wks along. Idk what it would've done if I had used it sooner lol. Have you take any pregnancy test since you've gotten the positive OPK's or are you just O'ing?

Not sure if you remember my story from the TTC board. But at the end of Oct. I had a very early loss. By the day after Thanksgiving, I got a bfp and we're both doing fine. It can happen. For me I bled for 2 weeks, pretty much ovulated within a few days after the bleeding ended, got my bfp like 2 weeks after that. Good luck.

Hi, yes i remember you from there!! Glad to see everything is working out for you and I love your little boys name!!! I don't remember you specific story but I do remember you saying you'd had a loss. I wasn't to active during that time. I had almost a total of 2wks of bleeding but the first week was mainly spotting and the baby was there w/ a heartbeat until the end of that first wk then it was gone within 2days. Thank you for sharing your story again! Maybe mine with turn out the way yours did!

Im Oing, I have super long cycle since coming off BCP Sept last year. xxx

Sawyers_Mommy · #11 April 5th, 2012, 01:38 PM

Oh well thats good that your body is O'ing after the M/C though! Fx'd you get a super sticky bean soon!

Sawyers_Mommy · #12 April 5th, 2012, 02:03 PM

Also the past hour or so I've had like where if feels like my heart is skipping beats or flutter, I'm shaking if I try to type, feeling very nauseous and evne tho the air is on i'm having heat flashes and heart burn.

dibbers · #13 April 5th, 2012, 02:49 PM

Go buy a test!!!!!

mspkids · #14 April 5th, 2012, 03:15 PM

Thank you for posting. I'm in the exact situation (miscarried on the 11th at 6w). I'm also 99% sure as I've had 4 positive OPKs during the last 4 days. I'm waiting for tomorrow to test.

I've done research online for the past 3 days and from what I read though OBs prefer it since there is a chance of tissue still remaining, it really doesn't raise the chance of m/c. Most of those that have posted about getting pg right away are either still pg or holding their babies.

Good luck and please keep us posted.

So sorry for your loss. Do you think you are pregnant or O'ing? If your testing with a HPT tomorrow we'll be testing the same day! Fx'd you get the result you're hoping for!!! Maybe we'll both be posting pictures of BFP's!

What you said about the research makes sense. I feel like whenever we do conceive again it'll be ok but there is still that little bit of worry ya know.

Did you test yet? I'm stopping on my way to work. Used walmart cheapie and it's BFP however not that dark. I am going for a FRER to make sure before calling the OB.

Good luck. Hopefully you get a BFP too. I'd love someone to go through the misery of 1st trimester worries with.

Sawyers_Mommy · #18 April 6th, 2012, 04:40 AM

I haven't tested yet because the store was closed before I could go get a test. I'm debating on whether I should just get an Answer instead of a $$ test because when I was getting dark positives with my last pregnancy on a FRER I could barely get a line on the $$ test. I'll be testing in the next hr or two though

CONGRATS on yours being posiitve!!!!!! I hope this is a super duper sticky bean

Hopefully I'll be joining you in the ddc
