I'M PREGNANT ONE MONTH AFTER A MISCARRIAGE

by Jen k., Dec 18, 2005 12:00AM
I HAD A MISCARRIAGE ON NOVEMBER 16TH.  IT WAS CALLED A CHEMICAL PREGNANCY BECAUSE I WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 1/2 WEEKS. (BASICALLY IT WAS LIKE GETTING MY PERIOD 5 DAYS LATER THAN NORMAL. NO CRAMPING AND NO D&C NECESSARY.) NOW IT IS A MONTH LATER ALL LAST WEEK HAD SLIGHT CRAMPING LIKE I WOULD BE GETTING A/F.  TOOK A TEST AND I'M PREGNANT!  I'M EXCITED, BUT SLIGHTLY NERVOUS THAT I COULD MISCARRY AGAIN. ALWAYS NERVOUS WHEN I GO TO THE BATHROOM THAT I MIGHT SEE BLOOD.  HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE?  ANYTHING I CAN DO TO INCREASE CHANCES OF NOT LOSING THIS ONE?

hi, i also had a miscarriage on oct 21st and got pregnant 2 weeks later. This is probally the scariest thing i have ever been through, my husband and i can't even get excited because we are scared that we could have another one. We have been to the doc at least 10 times since we found out and hav had 3 u/s so far. My doc said we are at higher risk for miscarriage now then we were before because we got pregnant so fast.I wish you the best of luck...

I lost a baby earlier this year. I was only 5-7 weeks along.

I then got pregnant at about 2 weeks post m/c.

I am now 32 weeks along with a little girl and have had no complictions.  The first trimester was the hardest.  You spend each day wondering and worrying.  Just keep in mind that you are at no higher risk to have a miscarriage.  Doctors consider one miscarriage perfectly normal.  Once you can feel the baby move it gets a whole lot easier.    

I know it is hard, but try to relax and think positive.  As I  said, I am doing just fine after my previous m/c.  I will be having my daughter the first week of February.  

Take care,

Amanda

I miscarried on Oct 14 and I conceived on Oct 29  I am now 10 wks pregnant.  Have  your Dr. check your progesterone levels.  

My prayers will be with you.

I have had 4 babies and 27 weeks pregnant with #5. I have had several miscarriages too. After a miscarriage I think it is totally normal to worry all the time. I watch for blood everytime I wipe through the whole first trimester with each baby.

The friends I have who haven't miscarried never even think about it. They just assume everything is fine each time. It is sad we have to worry so much and can't enjoy the first trimester but I think that is just how it is after losing a baby.

I am sure you will be fine. My doctor said she rarely sees someone miscarry 2 babies in a row. It is just a chance thing usually.

by boycrazy, Dec 18, 2005 12:00AM
I had a chemical pg in May and went on to concieve in early July.  Also had a mc at 6 weeks in Feb., but everything is fine this time.  I know it is scary, but I think you just have to remember that God is in control and what will be will be, say lots of praying and try to relax if at all possible. The others are correct, m/c is very common and to not have one ever and be pg more than a few times seems more abnormal than normal.  Your body was just not ready and hopefully with Gods will it is now and you will go on to have a healthy happy pregnancy. Many prayers your way.

by Jen k., Dec 19, 2005 12:00AM
Thanks for all the comments.  I think once I get through the first trimester I will feel better.  It is comforting that you all know the fear that I currently have.  My friends that have been pregnant or that are currently pregnant, that have never experienced a M/C, have no idea why I feel nervous. Great to hear all of the stories of people who have had successful pregnancys. Thanks!!

by ttys, Dec 19, 2005 12:00AM
Hi!

I could use some advice.  I just suffered a miscarriage (actually, stillbirth) at 25wks 2.5 weeks ago.  My husband and I are anxious to ttc again asap.  Does anyone have any advice on how NOT to stress about it or think about it all the time.  I know that can hinder my upcoming AF.  I am just thinking about it all the time and want to ttc right now but don't want to force it.  I could use any advice you have!  Thank you!

by BlueBirdSchless, Dec 20, 2005 12:00AM
Hey ttys, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just M/C at only six weeks, but a lot of love grew very fast for my little one. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now. You should Post your question on the main part so morepeople will see it. I don' really know anything about what you sould do, but I do want to encourage you, were all here for you. God be with you.

by mandaleeanne, Dec 20, 2005 12:00AM
Hi everyone!  I had a m/c at 6 weeks 26 days ago, we have been trying to conceive again ever since.  A couple days ago I felt like I was on my period..like I did in my first pregnancy.  So I thought I was pregnant (never experience symptoms b4 period).  Yesterday I started spotting/light bleeding.  Today I bled more like a light period.  I know implantation bleeding is spotting/streaking..but I read someone's post where with her 1st baby she thought she was having her period..it lasted for 5 days but it was implantation.  Do u think it is possible for my implantation bleeding to be heavier b/c I just miscarried and my uterus isn't completely healed?  I'm hoping this isn't my period.  THANKS!!

by WilliamsMom, Dec 21, 2005 12:00AM
I had a D&C 2 weeks ago and the bleeding stopped 3 days later so me and my husband had sex, I didn't know you could get pregnant right after I thought not until after your first period. This week I am vey crampy and I feel like i have morning sickness. Even if I was pregnnt I wouldn't feel it this early right? Am I just feeling some left over stuff from the D&C?

by mandaleeanne, Dec 21, 2005 12:00AM
I have been doing soooo much researching on the net about m/c's and getting pregnant again.  And YES it is possible to get pregnant right after your m/c and before  your first period.  However....some women don't b/c they don't ovulate until after their first period.  For the women that do ovulate...they have a higher chance of getting pregnant b/c of your hormones and your body is more accepting of getting pregnant again.  I'm bleeding a little bit more this morning...I hope it stops and I got lucky and it is implantation bleeding.  Or I could be an unlucky one who didn't ovulate!

by ttys, Dec 21, 2005 12:00AM
My baby girl was stillborn 2.5 weeks ago and for the last couple of days I have been crabby, nauseated and dizzy.  The first day this started I was a little crampy also.  I have ttc again and don't know if it took cause it is still too early to test.  At first, I thought that it could have taken b/c of these symptoms but then I realized that it might be too early to be experiencing these symptoms.  So, for the ladies that had questions about how they felt, it could be your hormones coming back to normal (which is what someone else told me about my feelings).  I'd like to believe that we are all pregnant again but it might be too early to tell.  But I hope BFP's all come your way!

by Paulettehfx, Dec 30, 2005 12:00AM
Hi, everyone... I am new here, I have been reading your messages and you have brought hope to me. I had my tubes reversed and I conceived in Sept only to miscarry at 5.5 weeks. I found out on Dec 19 that we were pregnant again however my hcg was rising but not like it shoudl be. Today my level went from Wed at 171 down to 107. It is obvious that I am losing this baby as well. I am very upset that this has heppened twice in three months. My progestrone was always good and my doc says it is just bad luck. She says we should not try for atleast 3 to 6 months. However I have read so many stories here of conceiving right away. you all give me hope. I told my hubby tonight I cant ttc anymore it hurt too much. But I want this more than anything, so baby dust out to all of you!! xoxox dotn give up. I wont...

I just wanted to tell you that I will keep you in my prayers.  

I know it is hard to lose a baby, but for me, it has been great to get pregnant so quickly.  My baby is doing great, and I will be going in for a c-section on Feb. 3rd to have her.  

Maybe the new year will bring you good luck.

Take care,

Amanda

I just miscarried mid December (baby was 9 1/2 weeks) and it was absolutely devestating.  I took me a few days just to get over the shock.  My first pregnancy was perfect and my daughter was heatlhy so not to sound naive but I was very suprised that this happened to me.  Although I am still sad, I want to move on and am anxious to get pregnant again despite my dr's orders to wait one cycle.  A family member miscarried and got pregnant 2 weeks after her miscarriage and had a healthy baby.  I hope all goes well if I should get pregnant this month.  I am nervous but I think I will be nervous if I get pregnant this month or 5 months from now just because of this miscarriage.  Im not going to "try" but Im not going to prevent it from happening either.  Love to hear "success" stories of getting pregnant right away.  It keeps my chin up.

Good luck to you all.  Thanks for posting.  Your information is helpful and encouraging.

by keets, Jan 04, 2006 12:00AM
Im sort of in the same boat but i had a miscarry 3 months ago and now im 5 weeks pregnant. Everyday im so scared that its going to happen again,so i know just how your feeling. I think the best thing for us is just to relax and take one day at a time,i wish u all the best.

by lucijames, Jan 04, 2006 12:00AM

Reported risks spur new study of ADHD drugs
By Andrew Bridges

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Reports of sudden deaths, strokes, heart attacks and hypertension in both children and adults taking drugs to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are spurring new government study into the medications' safety.

Sales of drugs to treat ADHD have increased sharply in recent years, with use growing at a faster rate among adults than children, according to a recent study by Medco Health Solutions, a prescription benefit manager. Spending on ADHD drugs soared from $759 million in 2000 to $3.1 billion in 2004, according to IMS Health, a pharmaceutical information and consulting firm.

The Food and Drug Administration said it had received reports of what it called "serious adverse events" — including deaths — in association with the therapeutic use of the drugs. The agency considers the reports "rare though serious," FDA spokeswoman Susan Bro said Wednesday.

The FDA's Canadian counterpart, Health Canada, yanked the ADHD drug Adderall (adderrall) XR from the market for six months last year in response to reports of 20 sudden deaths and 12 strokes in adults and children using the drug. A number of the cases involved children with structural heart defects.

The panel eventually concluded there was inadequate evidence of increased harm from Adderall (adderrall) XR compared with other available therapies, a conclusion the FDA also reached based on data on hand.

Now the U.S. regulatory agency is asking its Drug Safety and Risk Management advisory committee to examine ways of studying further the potential cardiovascular risks of the drugs. The few studies that have looked at longer-term use of ADHD drugs provide little information on those risks, the FDA said.

The committee is to meet Feb. 9-10 in Gaithersburg, Md.

"The issue of drug treatment of attention deficit disorder in children has been a controversial one without this issue of cardiovascular risk, too. It adds another concern to what will certainly be an interesting conversation," said Arthur Levin, the FDA committee's consumer representative.

A posting to the FDA Web site did not identify any of the drugs by name. However, the most commonly used ADHD drugs include Adderall (adderrall) XR, made by Shire Pharmaceuticals, and Ritalin, made by Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Various other companies make generic versions of Ritalin as well.

Shire spokesman Matthew Cabrey said the company had not been told of the meeting but added it may send representatives. Novartis did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Hello, I'm new here. I had a D&C on Monday Jan/01. My husband and I are waiting until my first period so we can go ahead and ttc. My first question is;does anyone know of a website that has any factual info on MC and how long you should wait to ttc? Some doctors say don't wait, some say 1 month, 3...  Second question;
I wanted to know if anyone out there has polycystic ovarian sydrome? I have been reading some books and they say it can be a high factor in MC due to hormone levels. I have had this since my late teens and wondered while I was pregnant if I should be concerned. My doctor brushed it off saying my biggest problem would be conceiving and since that was successfull, don't worry. Now that I have read some books I am angry that no one filled me in on this and ignored my concern and while I was at the hospital the OBGYN did not mention it either, knowing my history.
Just wanted to see if anyone could shed some light on this issue...
Thanks Ladies,
Funda

by kellsck, Jan 09, 2006 12:00AM
Hi, ladies this is my first time visiting this site.... I had a m/c on Decemeber 16th. It was such a shock to me because I currently have a healthy 6 year old daughter. They told me I had what was called Blighted Ovum when they babies dies off at like 5 weeks and you just continue to show that your are pregnant and experience all the pregnany signs.  Morning sickness, boobs always hurting, little craving everything i went thru with my first one.I was 12 weeks which I thought I completely out of the neck of the woods, gee's was I wrong. I had a d & c done on December 21st 2005. Now the problem is I'm not ready again I need to wait. I feel so empty inside and so angry at the same time. So my question to all of you's is for the one's that had a d & c done how long did you bleed for? I am currently still bleeding, I go tomorrow for a sonogram and an appt. Scary thing is, is that I may still have tissue inside of me and might have to have the procedure done again. I am completely devastated. Anyone have any advice????

by Funda, Jan 09, 2006 12:00AM
I am so sorry for your loss. I had a d&c on Jan/01 and my bleeding started on Jan/06. At first I thought it was a period, it felt like one. You are right. There probably is some tissue left so it might be an infection. My doctor has given me antibiotics to cure it. He did not offer a repeat d&c. Now, I don't know if they do things differently where you live. I'm in Canada and well, I think our health care is terrible. It takes forever to get an answer.Anyway, it's good that you are seeing your doctor tomorrow. Let me know what they say about the bleeding and tissue that may still be present. Maybe my doctor is going about this the wrong way! It never hurts to get more advice. Best of luck to you...

by kellsck, Jan 10, 2006 12:00AM
So i seen the doctor and had a sono done and  what they found is i still have blood inside of me along with some blood clots. he put me on some mediciation not an antibotic (antibiotic) though something else to stop the bleeding i only take it for 3 days and than hopefully it will help. I go back on January 17th for another sono and another internal if i am at that point still bleeing he is going back in for another d & c. I can't find closure on this loss until everything is all over with... Hopefully that will be soon!!!!!

by 623marisa, Jan 10, 2006 12:00AM
I'm new to this site and had a question to who ever could help. I had a misscarriage on December 1st and started bleeding on December 3rd. It was just like a regular period. Last Wed January 4th I had my blood taken and was at 9. I have to go and give blood again on the 19th. I took a pegnancy test on the 30th of December and on the 3rd both came out negative. This morning at 6am I took a pregnancy test and it came up positive. I took a different test this afternoon and it came up positive.

Does anyone think it could be that my first miscarriage is still working its way out or could it be that I am pregnant again?

by Funda, Jan 10, 2006 12:00AM
To: marisa
I wish I could tell you. I'm new to all this and I'd imagine there might be a possibility, but if you tested negative the first time, the test is probably right. Go for a blood test, then you can be sure. Good luck, and congrats to you if you are!

Hello everyone, i am mainly writting to funda i think it was.
I have PCO only a minor case (8 on one side and 6 on the other currently.). In 2003 on my first try i conceived a little girl who was born oct 04 with no complications except minor bleeds throughout and anit-d shots (i am neg blood type).
My huband and i tried for a sibling througout 2005 and no sucess until november 05. We conceived in november and i found out i was 2 2w pregnant in December. All was going well until a few days after xmas when i experienced what i felt was minor spotting until that night when i realised what was happening. And like other ladies i have read about in here, i never thought this would happen to me as i had a healthy pregnancy before. We lost the pregnancy on 29th dec 05 and had d&c that night to stop the pain i was experiencing. I am only 22 years old and pray that i will be able to give my daughter a brother or sister in the future. I have been trying since 6th jan 06 and have got postitive OPK's within the first few days after the bleeding stopped. HEre is hoping that the baby has returned to us this month. my doctor also tells me that it was unfortunate it happend and the main thing is that me and my husband are both fertile and get can pregnant!!! So TTC this month and hopefully i am 4dpo as per my OPK.... bit nauseous but its hard to tell this early. probably wishful thinking!! Baby DUST

by TracyB, Jan 15, 2006 12:00AM
I am new to this site...and see that I am not alone is feeling how I am...I miscarried on 12/18/05 at 13wks and had a D&C done on the 19th. Our doctor said that as a healthy young woman that we are able try again at any time. I asked about waiting as I have read and heard and he informed me that my body does need the time to build up the endometrial lining in the uterus, which doesn't take long but that my body will not conceive until my uterus is ready. So we have been trying...it will be 4 weeks tomorrow...how long should I wait to take a pregnancy test? Any suggestions.

Thanks for all the great info to all on this site....you have been very helpful

by Tazmin, Jan 16, 2006 12:00AM
Hi, first time posting a comment, i have actually bin reading everyone's stories for 3 months now and i really find it a God sent for all us women to be open and gain advice from eachother in this way.
I had a m/c 3rd december 2005 stopped bleeding after 6 days, and everything was returning back to the way it was. Had a natural miscarriage at home so didn't feel the need to go back to the docs,
But nnow since january started i started having pm symptoms again, morning sickness etc... so went to my docs last week was told could be pregnant again!!!
So... today i'm about to sent off now to the hospital, getting a scan done that should comfirm for sure keeping my fingers crossed, if i am pregnant again then that would mean it took place right after my m/c as i haven't started my periods yet.
My problem is that i really feel i was to blame for my miscarriage as i don't smoke or drink but i was nott eating healthy food either, my partner went through alot when i m/c.
He had tears in his eyes annd still drove me to the hospital about 3 times in a row.  If i am pregnantt this time which would be fantastic, how would i tell him???? i mean what if i miscarry again, should i wait until after i reach the 8 week mark before telling him??? i knoow he would be over the moon if i am but i just don't know when to tell him, anyone's advice would be helpfull.
P.s having a m/s is the worst possible outcome for anyone and i pray everynight for all us, that i hope one day soon we could all have healthy babies with big beautiful smiles on them.

hi ladies,
I'm new to this site and am so happy to talk to women in my position. OK, I had a miscarriage sept 28, then a chemical pregnancy jan 18. I have a healthy 16 month old and had a perfect pregnancy with him, right down to the delivery. I really want to have more and  so freaked out by my recent miscarriages. I too want to start immediately ttc, my question to you ladies is, to the women who got pregnant right after your unfortunate mc,(I'm very sorry): ) did you guys take your bbt or use ovulation sticks or did you just happen to get pregnant on that lucky day, whenever that was? how often should we try? I don't think you ttc 4 weeks straight, right? Help!

by TracyB, Jan 22, 2006 12:00AM
I am not sure when you are ovulating after a misscarriage, but I have read from several women tht they conceived about 2 weeks after.  We tried that also and it appears that we are pregnant(test is positive, but I haven't confirmed at the doctor). My doctor had advised us that when we were trying not to do it every day as the male needs time in there to "regenerate" his sperm. He advised us to do it every 3 days and it worked on our first time being pregnant. Hope that helps.

by CP in BR, Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM
I certainly agree with the person that made the comment about being grateful for forums like this. I guess that I'm lucky that none of my close friends or family have had to deal with a m/c, but it makes it difficult to get answers when there's not really anyone to talk to about it.

My husband and I started trying in November and when Thanksgiving came and brought something that i was most definitely NOT thankful about, I was crushed. He assured me that everything was fine, but deep down I knew he was a little nervous. I should've started Christmas Eve, but nothing happened, then still nothing by Christmas day, so 12/26 I took a test and it was negative. My best friend kept telling me to be patient, but as y'all know that's a lot easier said than done. When 12/30 came and I still hadn't started, I took another test and it was positive! Two more tests - all positive - i was elated. Not only was I finally pregnant, but I found out on my 26th birthday! We told our families and VERY close friends, but no one else (just in case...but we never really thought there'd be a problem). On 1/12 i had the slightest bit of blood, but still didn't think there was anything to it. I called and talked to the nurse - better safe than sorry. She told me to come in and she was able to work me in for an ultrasound. The tech said she didn't see anything - not even a sac. It seemed to come from out of nowhere. the blood test and the urine tests still showed pg, but things weren't looking good. i cried all day long and had no idea what to do next (it happened to be Friday the 13th...coincidence?). i woke up the next morning with the most miraculous peace. i've never seen a prayer work that quickly. i was starting to find the strength and comfort that we were praying for. I came to the realization that THAT baby was meant for us and he/she is STILL meant for us. One day we'll get to meet that baby and hold him/her and eventually tell him/her how much they were worth the wait (& the hurt). God still has that same little one planned for us and we don't want to take any chances on something being wrong. I would rather we be the ones to suffer than the baby. So you see, i don't see it as a loss as much as a delay.

With that in mind, I am bursting to start TTC again. My Dr. advised the standard after your 1st period, but i'm not sure i can wait that long. It sounds like a lot of you are finding yourself pregnant again pretty soon, but it doesn't sound like something you did on purpose. Am I taking chances if we're TRYING to get pregnant b4 my first cycle? Keep in mind i didn't need a D&C, i was only 7-8 weeks and the bleeding stopped after about 10 days. I know we've only been trying since November, but i've been waiting my whole life for this...

by Tazmin, Jan 25, 2006 12:00AM
Go for it, i got pregnant 1 week after m/c and now 'm 9 weeks pregnant and baby is fine. If u feel it's the right time for u to start trying again then go for it1!!

by TracyB, Jan 25, 2006 12:00AM
Well I just got the offical results and I am pregnant!!!  So a little nervous obviously I don't want a repeat of what just happened but it is very possible to get pregnant shortly after a miscarriage, and with all the great success stories, I am praying that we are amoung them.  Good luck to all of you trying.

Just wanted to post my story. I lost my beautiful princess Tatianna Alexis when I was 18 weeks pregnant on December 28, 2005. My membranes ruptured early Christmas morning and my daughter passed away during delivery 3 days later. My fiance and I started TTC right away (2 weeks later). I have not had my first period yet, and it has been almost 5 weeks. I don't remember waiting this long to start a new cycle when my son was born 3 years ago. We are really hoping I am pregnant. I have started noticing similar symptoms that I had with my daughter (fatigue, acne, nausea, vomiting, weight gain in my face and a pulse in my neck which my mother and most of my older family and friends say is a dead giveaway for pregnancy). I am going to wait another 2 weeks to see if my cycle starts, and if not will take a pregnancy test or go to the doctor. I have had 2 miscarriages, so I am scared to death of another. Any pregnancy for me is high risk because I have a heart problem and HSV. Thanks for letting me post, and for all those TTC right away, I send lots of sticky baby dust.

I would call my doctor right away.  My docotr siad it does not matter how faint the line is.  If it turns our positive again call right away make sure all your counts are high.  I just had a misscarriage a week ago and that is what they told me to do, two weeks after ovulation.

Hi I just discovered this website and thought i would ask for some ideas on getting pregnant fast.

I have a beautiful 4 year old daughter- she has auburn hair and a personality to go with it, she a very cute little girl- she had her first day at preschool yesterday. her name is Hunter Zara.

My partner and me have been trying for nearly ayear and half. I found out last year Oct 5 the that i was pregnant but no sooner I miscarried 7 days later. I was so excited but than shattered.I have endometriosis - I also attend a homeopath. When I fell pregnant with my daughter I was on the pill and going to my homeopath- Then the second time I had just started to go back to the homeopath - even though it didn't end good at least i Know I can get pregnant at least i thought but it just ain't happening.

MY partners family are pretty horrible- His 17 year old sister is pregnant and his brothers wife is too. They think its great that i can't fell pregnant. They say nasty things.

When i was walking out of the hospital after the miscarrige his mum rang me telling me it wasn't meant to be and there must of been something the matter- MAYBE-BUT NOT at this second- I was by myself and had to drive half hour haome yet.
THENnot even 2 weeks after they said SO YOU OVER THE KID YOU LOST YET-ISAID I WAS OK- THEN HIS 17 YEAR OLD SISTER SAID I'MGOING AGAIN STRAIGHT AFTER I HAVE THIS ONE-ISAID ISN'T THAT SILLY DON'T YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR FIRST ONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AT LEAST - THEN THEY SAID NO! SHE-I DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE YOU  EXACTLY THE SAME TIME. NOW THEY JUST LOVE RUBBING IT IN AND KEEP SAYING TO US GIRLS NO MORE GRANDKIDS PLEASE.

I DON'T CARE RELLY WHAT THEY BUT IT DOES GET YOU DOWN AND CAUSE FIGHTS- IF I SAY SOMETHING TO MY PARTNER THEY ALWAYS LIE OR SAY WE DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT.

I would really love to give my daughter a sibling. She is so gentle and caring with all baby's and kids. I really hope some of you can give me some tips. thanks for listening.

I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and ended up going for an ultrasound at 8 weeks only to find out its heart had stopped. we were pretty upset. i had a d/c and was wanting to try again straight away but am scared because my doctor told me that your body is still in a miscarraige mode and might get confused if i get pregnant straight away and try to get rid of the new pregnancy aswell. i was wondering if this was true? i noticed alot of people on here were saying they got pregnant straight away and are in there first trimester...how did any of those pregnancys turn out as they were posted a couple of months ago??? Thanks heaps

I found out on 10/26 I was pregnant with our fisrt child.  On 11/30 I had a car accident and immediately after the accident I had a u/s to check on baby.  We had seen the heartbeat twice before, but this time there was no heartbeat.  3 days later (12/3) I miscarried.  Tomorrow's going to be wk 4 since the accident.  I just ovulated 2 days according to my charting, but I'm feeling the slight cramping I felt before I found out I was pregnant the last time.  I'm dead afraid to be pregnant again, but I really do want to be pregnant.  How do I get rid of the fear?  I'm still hurting emotionally from the m/c so I don't know how we'd react to another pregnancy.  I'd want to be excited but I'm pretty sure I'd be more than afraid.

by yessisan, Dec 28, 2007 01:09PM
oops, I meant to say I ovulated 2 days ago (from yesterday)...

New to site and was encouraged by many of the stories. I'm 36 and thankfully have a healthy 13 yr. old son. My 2nd husband of 10yrs. has no kids and unfortunately we have lost 2 pregnancies. 1st pregancy at 20wks. then 5 long years later on 1-4-08 at 23wks. Both baby girls to PPROM then had D&C's. The pain after a loss is tremendous and I love my husband and want to have a child for him. Is it possible for a person like me to carry almost full term? Have been relying on my Faith in God to get through it.

My heart goes out to all you women who miscarried, one of you asked how do I get rid of the fear, YOU NEVER DO! I miscarried with my first baby at 4 months, I was DEVESTATED, as I was 35, and starting my family a bit late, However i tried again immediatly and it took me a few months, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, but I worried like crazy EVERY single day until I held that baby in my arms, then I worried about everything else! Now my baby is 7 months old and I am 2 months pregnant, again ALL I worry about is miscarrying. But I just keep reminding myself a miscarriage is my  body rejecting an unhealthy baby, and i do not want that for a child,
I was also told that after you miscarry your body fixes itself and your chances of miscarrying again are slim. Good luck to you all, you never forget and you never stop worrying, but try and enjoy your pregnancy!!!!!!!!!!!!  I got pregnant using a generic ovulation kit all 3 times!!

My husband and I were on holiday in the middle of nowhere when I found out I was pregnant. It was on the 18th of December 2007. I was 5.5 week pregnant and on the 21st of December I started to bleed. I went to a local doctor and he told me to go to the clostest hospital for a scan. I miscarried that day. I stopped bleeding a week later and I went for a check-up at my own gyn back home. He told me that everything looks 100% and that we can try again as soon as my blood test comes back with a 0 score. On the 4th of Jan 2008 my score was 1 and my hubbie and I started ttc again on the 12th of january. Yesterday I started with light spotting. Is it possible to have implantation bleeding 4 days afterwards? Can you get pregnant any time the first month after a miscarriage or does it only happen 2 weeks afterwards?
The whole experience still feels like a bad dream. I only knew I was pregnant for 3 days but we already started planning, talking and dreaming. I hope I am pregnant again!!!

I also got pregnant right after a miscarriage. I never had a period after the miscarriage and got pregnant again. My daughter is now 8 1/2 months old!! It was so scary the second time because all I did was worry that I was going to have a miscarriage up until the moment I had her. Try to think positive,I know it is so hard but you are not at any greater risk to have a miscarriage. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! :)

I really think I am pregnant now. It is still 6 days until I can do a pregnancy test, then I will only know for sure. Did everything go smooth this time? I am a bit scared, but it is an excited kind of scared. I am happy for you that you got pregnant again and that everything turned out just fine.

On dec 21, 2007 I went in for an ultrasound at 16 weeks.  We found out that the babies heart stopped.  Had an induction the next day.Found out I had Factor V Leiden Mutation.  This means that my blood clots too much during pregnancy.  Blood clots hit the placenta causing the baby too die.  I had two healthy pregnancies before this happened.   It has been three months since the misscarriage.  The doc has me on baby asprin.  she says the minute I know I'm pregnant again I have to start taking heparin shots which is a blood thinner.  I hope I don't have another misscarriage again.  We only want one more child.  What do you think my chances are of having a healhy pregnancy again?

by GNicole, Mar 11, 2008 12:08PM
Because you know the cause of the miscarriage, I would say your chances for having a healthy pregnancy next time are good. Continue doing what your doctor has told you. Good luck to you and I am sorry for your loss.

I had a difficult time at the end due to swelling and blood pressure but everything was fine. My daughter was 2 weeks early by c-section. She was 9 lbs. 2 oz-a big girl! I worried the whole pregnancy because of the miscarriage. Try to relax-I know it is hard. Good luck and I am sorry for your loss.

by JM1982, May 01, 2008 04:17AM
I was told a few weeks ago that I was pregnant then in that same day that I had most likely miscarried. I bleed for two weeks. Then it went away. Now I was spotting a few days ago and cramping again slightly in the lower back. It was never enough to fill a pad. It went away the next day. I never spotted before this unless it was the day before my period. I did have sex with my fiance shortly after my second blood test and a few times since. Is it possible to get pregnant again after only maybe four weeks? I am worried that this may be implantation bleeding. How long before I can take a pg test.

by Xhavierz, May 01, 2008 05:09AM
I had a miscarriage about a month ago. I was 5-7 weeks along. I was so upset. I didn't need to have a D&C. I go in for a Dr's appointment on Friday for a check up. I've already had my period once since my miscarriage, and I'm on my period again. So I think we're going to try again in a few weeks. It didn't take us but about a month of trying to find out we were pregnant the last time. So hopefully this one won't take too long either. Lets just hope it doesn't end the same way :( Good luck to you all! Baby Dust*

I had an early miscarraige that ended at 5 weeks back on May 22, 2008.  On Father's Day (June 15) I found out that I'm pregnant again.  We weren't even trying, we were told to wait a few months.  Now I'm 5 weeks and 3 days so far.  I'm a nervous wreck and I got angry at my husband for looking at baby names so early. I'm terrified that this one won't last. I, too watch for blood every time I use the bathroom, and I'm afraid to dream of baby things or names.  I don't know if I'll ever feel secure about it, probably not until I hold my little one in my arms.  My doc is concerned and says I'm at higher risk since it's so soon after, and I also have ovarian cysts that keep rupturing and bleeding in my abdomen and causing me a lot of pain.  I'm just hoping that everything turns out okay with this pregnancy.  I was devastated by the loss of the last one and I really don't want to go through it again.  How did you all cope with these feelings? I hope that all of you have healthy happy pregnancies and babies. Best wishes to all.

Hi I m/c around memorial day of this year at about 7-8 weeks.  I had the d&c on 6/4/2008.  I had a normal period starting on 7/5 just like they did before the pregnancy.  I was on nuva ring for months before the pregnancy and did nt take the ring for one month, and ended up pg  in that same month, April.  I had sex on 7- 14 and already my nipples are begining to feel tender.  I am so scared because I feel bloated, and stomach aches for the past two days.  I don't know if I am pg yet to early.to tell.  I want to do all I can to carry to term if I am.  The Dr told me to wait till aug ttc.  God knows best.  I can't keep going through this type of changes.  I am 34, with no kids.  I had one live at age 14yrs (put up for adoption) and 2 abortions at age 22 and 25.  I want to have a child.

  I had a m/c in January. We were having twins. When it happened we were crushed. I have had 7 pregnancies and 6 m/c. (We have a beautiful,healthy 22 month old boy.) I found out a month later I was pregnant again. Apparently I had gotten pregnant 2 weeks later. I am now 28 weeks. The thought of losing this one is always in the back of my mind, but my doctor says not to worry about it. The stress won't be good for the baby.
  I will keep you in my prayers. I know exactly how you feel. But things will look up.

I'm 18 y.o. and I had a miscarriage on July 25 of this year and i'm not sure when the miscarriage bleeding ended, it was a natural miscarriage (which hurt so incredibly bad) and I have yet to have a period since then. However, I've been having really bad indigestion and I've been really tired (which is what happened the first time i got preg.) but my breast aren't really tender and i'm cramping very very very slightly like every once in a while, but I was wondering if it was possible to be pregnant again. I feel so obsessed with being prego again because my brother's girlfriend just had a beautiful baby girl last week- so its hard to be around her cuz i lost my own baby... so help anyone- do you think i could be pregnant?

by tarrah87, Sep 05, 2008 12:40AM
sorry i skipped all the other posts to see what others said but it is normal to feel that way i had a mc at 8 wks in aug 07 got pregnant with twins in nov 07 and lost them at 21 wks, i still fear seeing blood everytime my stomach cramps or i go to the bathroom, but good luck things will work out for the best i am now preg again but don't know exactly how far yet.

I got pregnant on June 29 08 and lost the baby on Sep 17 08 I was 13 weeks pregnant. I'm 23 and never thought that this would happen. I was diagnost with Endometriosis in april had surgery and ended up having 3rd stage. So when we got pregnant it was a miracle. And than right before my 2nd trimester I lost it. Now it has been a month and doing a lot better but everyone has there days no matter if it happened this year or 20 years ago!!

Hi - I am new to this site.  I am so encouraged by the stories I have read!  I found out last Saturday I was pg and through early blood work it was determined I miscarried yesterday (hcg level had dropped to 6)  I started bleeding this morning.  I am thankful that this was not an eptopic pg and it appears I won't have to have surgery or d/c - but it is still devestating.  My Drs. office is telling me we should wait 2 - 3 months to ttc to give my body time to recover.  After reading all the stories here I feel like we would be missing out on a window of fertility if we wait.  How many of you went against Drs. orders and ttc anyway?

Hi- I am new here also.  I used clomid to get pregnant after 2 years unsuccessful from my last miscarriage.  I got pregnant on my first cycle and lost the baby a week after the positive result that was July of this year, by the end of August I was testing again and received a positive.  My doctor wasnt worried about the time frame I guess it also depends on how far along you are.  For this baby it is not looking good, I should be 12 weeks and the u/s is registering 8 with no heartbeat, I go for another u/s on monday, but he has already said if  I am losing this baby he would like me to wait longer so he can run tests (being it would be my 3rd loss).  I guess it would matter on how you and your spouse are feeling, we felt it was something we needed, maybe we did it to help with the previous loss? I don't know.  You need to do what you feel is right for you and your spouse, unless there were some kind of major complications.  good luck and lots of baby dust to you!!!

I just had a miscarriage also.... and I had my first regular period and now im pregnant again..... After reading some off you comments about getting pregnant again so early after a miscarriage and giving birth to a healthy baby make me feel some what better... just the thought that there is still hope. I just worry so much everytime because this is my 3rd pregnancy and i miscarried the first 2 and they were over a year apart.... Thanks for the bit of hope you instilled in me :)

I must say that this site has been supportive!  I had a natural m/c in Jan09, and read all of the strings which helped me through the situation.  Now that I am pregnant less than 2 months later (!), I am excited to see that others have gone thru their next pregnancies with success.  I pray that I am one of the blessed ones.  

Stephmcc: I understand your anxiety, because every little cramp has me worried too.  Just keep remembering these posts, and it'll get us through the next several months!

I plan to return to this string with wonderful news after the baby arrives.  I think it will give women lots of hope.

Many Blessings to You All!

I had a mc on Jan28,2009 and I bled for a week after that. Me and my boyfriend did not wait.......the day after I stop bleeding we started ttc. Lately I have been having preg symptoms again. Sore nipples, headaches and morning sickness. (which are the only symptoms I had the last time I was preg) Im scared now because I really believe in the most inner part of me that I am preg again and Im scared of another mc. This site has given me hope for sure. My only problem is waiting to take a HPT. Last time I was nearly 2 months and my HCG hormones were so low it barely registered on the test strip at the doctors office. I took a test Monday of this week and it was neg. I still believe I am preg but it is just too soon to tell. Im gone have to wait until i am at the 2 month mark again to take another HPT. I wish all of you who want to be pegnant the best of luck and my prayers are with you.  I will keep you posted.

hi, I am new to this website,can somebody tell me is it ok to be pregnant same month after I  m/c that was only last month,should I go to doctor so soon because I feel scared she had told me to wait for one cycle what should I do?

To: amanjohal
Well I felt the same way when I first realized that I may be pregnant again and I just MC Jan 28th, 09. Dont be afraid to go to your doctor just because they said you should wait to ttc. If I find in the next two weeks that Im pregnant again, Im going back to tell my doctor and he suggested I wait until I have had 3 normal cycles first. Im a strong believer that no one knows your body better than you and no one can tell you what to do with it. Doctors practice medicine and notice I said "practice". They dont know everything!! I say go and get yourself checked out and make sure all is well with you and the baby and if your doctor is a good doctor, he/she will do everything they can to help you have a healthy pregnancy and not scold you for not waiting to get pregnant again......

Hello. i had a miscarrage (miscarriage) when i was 7 weeks pregnant and it has been almost 2 weeks since. I have been having umprotected sex since the last time that I have bled. I have been trying to conceive for 8 months and i finally did and I had a miscarrage (miscarriage). I am praying on another one . Does anyone know if I will be able to do this? I never went to  the doctor after the mis carrage because my mom said I was too early and the bleeding only lasted *** long as a regular period.

Hi y'all...my story is that I found out I miscarried at 10 weeks on 4/17/09.  A "missed abortion" they called it bc I had no bleeding and no symptoms of a miscarriage.  I had a D&C on 4/22/09, bled for that day, stopped bleeding for about a week, then started light bleeding/spotting for the next 24 days?!?  It stopped and and I haven't bled since.  My Dr. told me that I should get my period 2-5 weeks after my D&C and that I could start trying again after that...but I don't know if that 24 days of bleeding was actually my period or repercussions from the procedure.  I just took a pregnancy test this a.m. (we've only had sex like 4/5 times since before we found out) and it looks like it could be positive.  I will wait to test again in 3 days to see if it is more confirmed...any advice???

I just joined this site and If I would have know about it when I first had my miscarriage it would have benifited me greatly. You see I am 25 years old and when I was 22 I got pregnant for the first time. At first the pregnancy test showed a (-) but something told me that I was somehow changing. I never experienced any nausa but what tipped me off that I was prego was when my fiance ordered me my favorite pizza and I couldnt even look at it. He told me that I was prego but when I told him that the test was (-) a week ago he said to do it again..... Low and behold there it was the faintest lines that you could ever see on a pregnancy test! I was so very happy! We had been trying for about 4 months and when it happened my life seemed to be COMPLETE! I wish I could tell you that as I sit here I have a wonderful healthy baby but that is just in my dreams. Two weeks after going to the doctor to confirm my pregnancy I woke up and noticed that my stomach was hurting, I went to the bathroom and saw very light blood. Immediately I called the DR and he said it was normal but that if i felt worse that I should go in. The next day the bleeding got much heavier so I went to the emergency room! STUPID MISTAKE! The hospital put me through the worst 5 hours that I could have been through. I asked the DR, the ultrasound tech, the Nurse every one that worked in the medical staff if my baby was ok and all the said was, " The dr will let you know!" Turns out that in the ER the dr is too preoccupied to take care of a lady who is having a miscarriage.... At the end of all of the testing Dr walked in and said,"WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT! YOU CAN GET DRESSED AND YOUR FREE TO GO!" Just like that! No explination, no compassion and worst of all he treated me like I was imagining my pregnancy! I waited 7days and then went to another hospital and they were so compassionate with me. Turns out that I was in fact still very much pregnant but by that time I was so out of it that it didnt matter. Three weeks to the day I found that (+) on my pregnancy test I lost my first baby! I have been so devestated ever since and it took an HUGE toll on my relationship(were no longer together)! I want all of you out there to know that we all share a very common bond and the hurt of loosing a child, be it 5 weeks or 25 weeks or 36 weeks, the hurt never goes away.  And the fear is so intense that it consumes you..... My prayers are with all of you and for those of you who are now impending motherhood may your babies be born HAPPY AND HEALTHY and May god watch over you and deliver your precious bundle of joy safely into your arms.

I miscarried in December of 2008 and I am 5 weeks pregnant today! =) I havent gone to the doctors yet as I am scared to get my hopes up. Im trying to wait till I reach 8 weeks so I can see or hear something. It does suck that this time around we cant be as happy as we would like to be, when I first found out that I was pregnant again this time around all I could do is worry I told my husband but he couldn't be happy either after what happened in December, but hopefully these weeks go by quick and everything goes great.
My prayers go out to all you!

hi to everyone, have been reading everyones posts and am amazed to find how many people are feeling the same as me and wanting answers. i too have just had a miscarriage at nearly 7 weeks and even thou the doctors said best to wait for one cycle dont think can wait that long before trying again. just cant believe how many sites are out there on the internet that contradict each other some say fine to start trying straight away with surveys showing its safe and others say the complete opposite i mean how are u meant to know which ones to believe. its great hearing all ur stories and has given me a lot more confidence to start trying again although am asolutely teffified will take ages to get pregnant again and if i do that a miscarriage will happen again cause tried too soon. am keeping my fingers crossed for myself and for all of u out there who are in the same boat. xx

HI,

i have recently had a miscarriage at 6 wks pregnant and am now pregnant again, one month later. i am very happy but can everything really be ok if you havnt had a period? would your womb have recovered enough to carry another baby? i also had a c-section in 2008, my son is very healthy and had no complication but i feel these are all factors for a major complication! also how would u date the pregnancy...would it be as normal?  thanks for listening!

Don't trust every doctor and if you are bleeding have your hormone levels checked!!!!

I recently suffered the loss of my baby 12 weeks into the pregnancy.  Although miscarriage is said to be a common occurrence, my case is a bit different and I have been doing extensive research to determine the cause of my loss.  

I had suffered bleeding throughout the pregnancy and my doctor NEVER checked my hormone levels... the baby had an excellent heartbeat all along... even hours before I lost her.  I actually went into premature labor, my water broke, and I gave birth to a very tiny perfectly and fully-formed baby.  The development at this stage is amazing...  all facial features and the most beautiful fingers and toes.  The following day, I started producing milk which made the experience even more heart-wrenching.

I firmly believe after researching and discussing this matter with other women who suffered bleeding during pregnancy that I had a hormonal imbalance- possibly low progesterone levels.  Doctor's unfortunately do not check such things until a woman has suffered 3 miscarriages and is therefore considered "high-risk".  I have read that other women who suffer bleeding have been given progesterone to maintain their pregnancy.  

Doctors are generally very cold and before searching for simple answers or natural alternatives will recommend very expensive fertility treatments.

Unfortunately I put my faith in my doctor that she was doing all that she could...  after I learned otherwise.  I will never forget my first little one.

I also want to add that I was in the ER twice due to bleeding (without cramps) and they said everything was fine...  no hormone level tests done.  The last two days before I miscarried I had bleeding with cramps and both ultrasounds showed the baby moving around with a strong heartbeat...  I was sent home, told not to worry and that it happens.  Again... no bloodwork!  A couple of hours after seeing my baby and hearing her heartbeat, my water broke and I lost her.

Hi

I had my first MC in May 2009 I was 10wks I could not understand why this had happened to me and my partner. I am young healthy and done everything properly. It took me a while to get over it but with support from my partner, family and friends the pain semed to fade.
I had a period 4wks 4days later and was devestated but again got through this.... I then fell pregnant and got it confirmed at docs July and had a scan in Aug which was amazing seeing the baby heart beat at 71/2 wks but unfortunally I MC again at 9wks while on holiday and was totally devestaed. This was 61/2wks ago but I have found out am pregnant agian. I am so happy but terrifed also I pray this pregancy will go all the way as I dont think emotionally or physically I could handle another MC.
But I hope 3rd time lucky

Hi, my heart is with you all.  It is such a heart wrenching experience going through a miscarriage.

I had my first in March /07.  I never had even considered the possiblitly of having a miscarriage.  I just though that it would be hard to get pregnant.

My second in August/08, and third in Nov /08.  started to just be apart of our lives.

So we decided to not have kids.

April/08 I was pregnant.  And I didn't enjoy a moment of it.  No overwhelming love for the beautiful baby growing inside me.  Just fear and an almost dispassionate feeling for that baby moving in there.

Even after I had him, and he became very ill, did I stay distanced from him.

The first week I finally got to bring that baby home did I finally feel that he was real and we fell in love, him and I.

So here I am again.  Got pregnant right away July/09, lost the baby, had a DNC in September, and now I am pregnant again.

And I feel as though I have been cheated.  For there is no excitement, no huge joy, or love for that being that is growin inside me.  Just distance as I don't want to let myself get too close, as to lose another child.


My heart, and prayers are with you all.  Blessed Be.

Erin

To: rogamoi,
Be strong hun. Only way to know for sure is to test. You may still have hcg in your system since its only bee a month since you had your miscarriage. So take a test at home and if its positve call your dr for confirmation. Im so sorry for your loss. Good luck and take care.

Try to relax if you are pregnant it is better for you to relax and take each day as it comes. I can imagine how you feel. I lost my baby on Oct 20th at 21 weeks yet I am very anxious to get pregnant again......I am afraid just to think that the same thing can happen but I know that relaxing and taking each day as it comes will be better than stressing out that can might make you feel symptoms that you are not really feeling. Our brain is very powerful and might make us things that are not true....just think positive, eat healthy, take you vitamins and relax....oh take a test and check with your doc it is better to get check asap that might help you calm down too....good luck to everyone.

I found out I was pregnant on Oct 27th after taking clomid, metformin and having ovarian drilling. My husband and I were over the moon, however I started bleeding on Nov 15th at 7 weeks, went for a scan and saw the babies heartbeat and was reassured that everything was fine, later that day my cramps got worse and I lost a clot. I called the hospital who advised me to go back the following day, When they gave me another scan my womb was empty. I feel so sad and lost. Do any of you know how long it will be before I will ovulate again? we are desperate to try again!
Thanks
