You ovulate before you get your period. So, yes, you can get pregnant without having your period. But, your hormone levels have to drop way down after the pregnancy/miscarriage in order to ovulate, get pregnant, or get your period. It can take more than 28 days to get your period after a miscarriage. Your body won't let you get pregnant if it isn't ready. You can take a pregnancy test or blood test to confirm.
Thanks a lot for the comment. I went to the dr on November 26 and he did an ultrasound. He said that I had already ovulated. But I have no sign of a period yet and my husband and I have been going at it constantly since the miscarriage. I want to wait another week or two to see if I get a period. If not I'm gonna take a pregnancy test. Like I said thanks for the response.
I was told you can try to conceive immediately after a miscarriage (but to wait two complete cycles after a d&c). Like chiromom said, it can take longer to get your period after a miscarriage (up to 6 weeks). Sometimes it takes a while for your hormones to go back to normal, so you can't really interpret other symptoms as signs of a new pregnancy. I hope you do get a positive pregnancy test soon!
Yes, conceiving after a m/c is possible and according to my doctor it's no problem after a natural m/c. I read on another site that it happens very often.
I have some of the same symtoms like you have (and those were away shortly after I miscarried) like sensitivity to smell, sore breasts and very tired at the end of the afternoon.
I had my m/c on 11/9 so there is a chance that I conceived again without having a period first. If AF doesn't show up the next week I will take a pregnancy test.
I just want to say thanks for the responses. It feels so good to be able to talk to people that know what you are going through. Since the miscarraige I hadn't talked freely about it. I mean I would talk some to my husband. He has been wonderful through it all. I hope that I am pregnant this time around. If I'm not then I won't give up hope. Because I know all things happen for a reason. Regardless, I am blessed with two beautiful stepchildren whom I love and care for as my own. My step daughter is 12 and she thinks she's my twin. Once again I can't express enough the appreciation and support from you all.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart!!!
Good luck MrsMichele. i had a mis in Jukly and conceived again in Sept. I am now 15 weeks!! Nervous as hell about everything! I agree- everything happens for a reason. The babies dad always says "It is the same soul."
Let us know how you make out
I agree- yes. I've had four miscarriages and try again after each one. My dr even let me try right away after the one that included a d&c. I did get pregnant once right after a miscarriage. And that result is sleeping in his bed as I type this!
does anyone know when to expect you epriod after a m/c. I had a m/c on Nov 17 and am waiting for my peroid to come. I have taken a preg test to make sure I have no hcg left. It came out neg. I have been trying to figure out when I ovulate and no such luck. The ov kits all keep saying yes to all diff days. any advice for this.
hi there everyone. i have a question - i had a miscarriage on 15th nov and had unprotected sex on 28th (i used a opk which was positive but when i read instructions it said if you had recently been preg even if not to full term you may get inaccurate results). i haven't had a period yet but my boobs are all sore, have a dodgy taste in my mouth and slight nausea. could i be preg? i have done 4 hpts but 2 said pos (very faintly) and 2 said neg. could the pos ones have been evaporation lines? any advice would be greatly appreciated x
it seems we're in a similar situation - which ov kit did u use?
