pregnancy after miscarriage

i was wondering if anyone could give me any advice?

i had a complete miscarriage at 5 weeks , this was now roughly 6-7 weeks ago and i still have not had my period!! is this normal? i had cramping last week which i thought was the onset of my period but there was nothing! could i have been ovulating? is there a possibility that i could be pregnant again? please help :(

Hi-- I'm sorry about your loss... I hope you are on the mend mentally and emotionally.  

It could be all of the above...It took 60 days for my cycle to start back up after my m/c (although I have long cycles to begin with) so I could see how you might be feeling some ovulation pain.  That said, you wouldn't be the only one on the forum who got pregnant in the cycle after a m/c (which is only a problem for your Dr's attempts to date the pregnancy, otherwise, it's nothing to worry about).  If your cycle doesn't start in the next week, I'd suggest going in for a blood pregnancy test and to see if your Dr will give you some meds to get your cycle started again.  You said it's a complete m/c so I'm trusting you've had an u/s to confirm everything is clear-- if not, you may want to see a Dr sooner just to confirm there isn't an infection starting...

Take care & welcome to the forum!

thankyou for the reply hun,

i did have an u/s and everything was clear on that i have an 8 year old girl that i had no complications with so all this was a bit of a shock to me!
me and my partner are desperate for another child and apart from the cramping last week and tender breasts i feel fine.
i dont really know what my cycles are like because i was on the implant for 5 years previous so im on a guessing game i think which is even more frustrating!!

thankyou again for your help xx

ive still not had anything apart from some cramping last week and really sore boobs which are beginning to drive me mad!! lol
went the docs yesterday and i gota do a hpt next week and if its still negative and im still having sypmtoms then they are gonna do so bloodwork!
i really do hope im preggers but this waiting is sending me bonkers! im doing hpts every other day and i am sure my b/f thinks im potty!!
thanks for the info! maybe there is hope for me yet! :0)

I am in the same boat as you. I actually just posted my own question but it is almost the same as yours. Let me know what happens.

hiya hunny,

well my wait is over, i started my period on friday! :0(
but at least i know that my body is back to normal so we can start trying again! hopefully this time next month ill have a bfp!!  cant beleive it took nearly 8 weeks since the miscarriage, i was convinced i was preggo! just wishful thinking i guess.
hope you are ok jenn, just be patient and what will be will be! xxx

baby dust to you all xxxxxxx
