I found out I was pregnant Dec 9, 2008. I knew the pregnancy was not viable after two ultrasounds and four blood tests. I began bleeding on January 21st and ended up getting an emergency D and C because I was hemorrhaging. Now, I am waiting for my 2 week follow-up appointment. I am wondering when I can expect my next period, when I can start trying again and if I can get progesterone supplements of some sort while we try to have another baby. It has been a long 2 months and part of me is glad that it is finally over. But I am very anxious to get pregnant again so that I do not feel so sad. I also wanted my children closer together than 3 years. I guess God had different plans.
I had a miscarriage two days before thanksgiving 2008. I took a pregnancy test before Christmas and it tested positive three days later I had my first period. I took another home pregnancy test three days after my period and it showed that I was not pregnant. I assumed that my hormone levels had dropped and I would ovulate we tried to concieve. I just took another test Jan 19 and it was a strong positive. Does this mean that I am pregnant again?
It sounds like your levels are still going down. It can take 6 weeks for your HCG levels to return to 0 after a miscarriage.
I retook my blood test on monday and the test said that my hormone level was 13. The doctor says that I am not pregnant or most likely not. A digital home pregnancy test says that I am. they say that it is left over from the october miscarriage or a second miscarriage. but my period still has not started and it has been a week. the lines on the home tests are all darker now. so did I miscarry again or our my hormones just very low and they go up and down. I have to retake the test next week, but this is to make sure my hormoes are at zero( because they think it is from my first miscarriage) AHH
thanks I took a blood test on friday and today the doctor told me that the hormone level was 17 which she said was very low so I had to re test today.
You count for the first day of your last period so 11/22
I'd wait another week and test...although, a positive test is a positive test whether it is faint or not...and I am sure your doctors checked to make sure your hcg levels had dropped back to non-pregnant levels SOOO I don't think this would be residual hcg from the October mc.
Good luck, and you could always call your doctor to confirm the pregnancy with a blood test etc.
