Question about miscarriage

[Praying4MiniMe]

Now, I know that 1 in 4 women miscarry. Now is that for their first pregnancy or is that each time. I had one for sure miscarriage Feb of 2005. And not sure if it was a m/c sept 06, my hcg level was only 4 when i went in and bleed that night. (might have been my period) anyways....is there a better chance that the next time I become pregnant I won't miscarry or is it the same chances?????  Any ideas?

[Praying4MiniMe]

I was wondering why you thought it was too early, lol!

[njeosys]

Can you tell I've been out of it?! I totally read her message wrong. I read Praying4MiniMe's message as she ovulated Nov. 28, not missed her period then. My bad!

[Praying4MiniMe]

Im just scared that its going to be a BFN and i'm sick of psyching myself up for it and then getting depressed. If I am not pregnant, why would I be 10 days late and peeing all the time? I know the chances are against me for being pregnant, but a girl can dream, right? :*(

(feeling sad, thinking I got my hopes a little too high)  I think I will test in the morning....

oh yes, hopefully. Unfortunately i'm still dealing with my UTI. stupid things. Anyways, atleast you're familiar with it. I'd say it's a good sign. I'm not sure why you don't test now, because if i were you i wouldn't be able to wait. heheh. But hey, whatever day you decide to, let's hope you get that BFP!

[Praying4MiniMe]

I have had UTI's and bladder infections and it doesn't feel like that at all....so hopefully this is a good sign, right?

[irrelevance]

i never really felt hot but i've hear people say that. you sure are peeing a lot lol. hope it isn't something else, but just may well be pregnancy. good luck.

[Praying4MiniMe]

Thank you all so much!!! So...here's an update...my peeing is increasing. :)  This is so lame that I am keeping track of all this....I peed at 6, at 7:30, 8:30, 9:00 and 10:00 (which is now).....now do you think that could all be in my head, because I don't think I could pee that much regularly....also my face feels hot off and on....sound like symptoms?????

[irrelevance]

you're not testing too early if you already missed your period. Anyhow, if you can wait til the 13th, good luck, since it's your lucky number. :]

You're testing too early. Test next Thursday or Friday for a more accurate result!

With every miscarriage you have, your chance increases to have another one. I had 2 back to back that were caught. I can not begin to tell you how many i think i had that were not caught. also, anything under 6 is considered not pregnant...and if it is under 25, then it is considered equivocal and should be retested 48 hours later. so with it being under 6, then it would be considered not pregnant.  once you have a mc it will never seem like a normal pregnancy and it will ALWAYS be on your mind! I know it is mine with this pregnancy! I am 8 weeks and have already had 4 US, the first one saw just a sac, the second was at my dr appointment, and then one thursday and one friday bc i had some spotting...so...it will never be the same!

Hey if you can honestly wait until the 13th to test than I think that is a great idea (I'm weird and do the lucky number thing too like before I go to my doctors appointment I have to have the same drink and snack just because it makes me feel like nothing can go bad). Sometimes tests dont show positive until a while after you have already missed your period so it could be positive soon! :)

[Praying4MiniMe]

My period was due on Nov. 28th, but I took at test around Thursday I think and BFN, thinking about retesting on the 13th cuz its my lucky number, I know i'm lame! lol

[alaysha]

I completely understand how you feel. I don't think you will ever be able to relax once you get pregnant even if you had never had a miscarriage. I know that even at 37 weeks I freak out at least once almost every day thinking that something is wrong. It is very stressful but VERY normal. When is your period due?

[Praying4MiniMe]

I just hope I am pregnant now, but I don't want to go through the whole pregnancy stressing out about it, if it will stick or not. Ya know? I am a very worrysome person, I have horrible panic attacks, and I just wish I could just relax and have some reassurance. But thank you for replying. :) Bless you!

You have the 1 in 4 chance of miscarrying every time. What my doctor told me after I had one miscarriage and was worried about loosing this one as well was that it is basically the luck of the draw. Most times if you have one you wont have another back to back but it is completely possible since a lot of miscarriages aren't even caught since they happen BEFORE the mother even knows that she has concieved.
