Can I be pregnant after I had a miscarriage?
I was 5 weeks prgenant with my first child. I started to miscarry on Feb. 19, 2007. I passed tissue on Feb. 22, 2007 and I stopped bleeding on the 26th. I have not been on birth control and I have been intimate with my partner. I have not started my cyle as of yet either. I am strating to have all the symptoms of being pregnant. Feeling tired, morning sickness, breast tingling. I took a test yesterday on the 21st and it was negative.I know that it may be too early. I still feel sick. When is a good time for me to take another test? Can I be pregnant?
Hey all! I need help please!
I had a m/c last week and then had to have an emergency DNC, I was nearly 11weeks and I'm just devastated this has happened! They found no heartbeat on the baby :( It took me a year to get pregnant because I have PCOS (polysistic ovaries) but I managed to fall pregnant just before they referred me to fertility specialist! I want to start trying ASAP and I have been told to wait for my first period but having PCOS it doesn't help as they're so irregular and I might not even have a period???? :(

It is very possible. I had sex the night I mc and now a week and a half later my stomach firmed up again and I feel very pregnant like I did before. I'm confused and want help too
I just had a mc and I had sex right after that. I'm scared to take a hpt I'm kinda waiting a bit longer but I'm thinking what if I had twins and only mc one which is what runs in my family or I got pregnant when I had sex the night of my mc. Or maybe its in my head. Me and my husband really want a baby. I stopped bleeding after the mc about 2 days after and now its been a week and a half and I really think I'm whether still pregnant or got pregnant again. My mom did this same thing. I noticed my stomach was firmer after the blood stopped and I got in the shower. I showed my husband and he just kissed my stomach and smiled.
Hello I'm kaya.
Basically I just wanted to get abit of aadvice from someone that has actually experienced what I have.
may 29th 2011 I took a pregnancy test and it came back possitive. 2days later (31st) I started to experience light bleeding then eventually got heavier. I went to the hospital & I found out I was miscarrying. By the 5th of june I stoped bleeding. Then had unprotected intercourse a week and a day later after bleeding (13th)I still haven't yet got my period. Could I get pregnant in this time or not?

Hi everyone,
I have just joined this site. I just wanted to say how completely blown away I am by all you brave women. There is so much hope in your messages. I miscarried (blithed ovum) last august. My husband and I had started trying in june of 2006 and got pregnant right away. I went fo weekly ultra sounds becaus eI was in soo much pain because the DR's said I had a cyst on my right ovary that was the size of a golf ball ( very small according to them). Well it turned out that I had no baby in my stomach. Had a D&C on August 4th...dooms day as I call it. My period did not return until October 1st.
We started trying that month again to get pregnant. We got pregnant again in March and miscarried with bleeding at about 51/2 weeks....I am soo discouraged. My OBGYN says it's not that bug a deal...Wonder how many times she miscarried???? Anyway, my period has been all of=ver the place since december so I never know when I am going to get it. I think I may be pregnant again...lets hope this one sticks! I was going to take a pregnancy test on father's day without telling my husband so that I can surprise him if it's a positive. Wish me luck and BABY DUST TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!

Hello to all, this is my first time commenting, I usually just read the comments to feel better about my situation. I had a miscarriage on 26 May, I was approx 6-7 weeks. I had complication from the start of pregnancy, but thought I would be alright, but ended up loosing the baby. I am a 27 y/o woman who is ready to concieve. I bleed for about 7 days, I started ttc 2 days prior to the stop of light spotting. I never thought that it would be able to concieve so soon after a m/c, but I am starting to believe that I am pregnant again, but there is no solid proof of that. I took preg test this morning came out neg but I know that it is too early to tell, but now I know that hormones are leveled. I want so bad to have concieved again. You ladies give hope that it is possible. Thank you all for your comments.

I was intrigued by your story, and I am so sorry for your loss. I'm hoping my story will give you a bit of hope:
I'm 29 years old and have been married for almost 5 years, and was diagnosed with PCOS in August 2006 after years of wondering why I was gaining weight, why I had no period unless I was on birth control, and other symptoms. Every time I went in for my yearly pap smear I would ask the doctor or nurse practitioner questions to no avail. I had done some reading on PCOS a few years back after my mother told me about the syndrome She was pretty sure I had been suffering from it for years, and was frustrated that I had never been formally diagnosed. In July of 2006 I went to urgent care with severe abdomial pain on my left side, and was given an ultrasound and pain medication and sent home. I later came to find out my ovaries were riddled with cysts. My GP then ordered an MRI, a CT scan, and a colonoscopy to rule out other problems. He never diagnosed me with PCOS. Finally, in August of 2006, he flat out told me I was beyond his realm of medicine, and referred me to a OB/GYN and fertility specialist. After one visit, I was diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis. I asked him about the possiblity of getting pregnant, and he told me that although it wasn't impossible, it was going to be very difficult to do naturally. He said if I was willing to stick with him and do as he said, he would gurarantee that I would eventually get pregnant. My main goal was to get my reproductive system straighted out so that I would have a healthy pregnancy. I was willing to do anything he said. I was put on Metformin (aka Glucophage) and told to return in 3 months to see if it helped. I did some research on Metformin, and found out that although it's prescribed mostly to diabetics (I am NOT diabetic), it is also prescribed to women with PCOS as it shrinks ovarian cysts and helps to regulate an irregular menstrual cycle. I took it for 3 months, and went back to see the doctor as requested. My mother had asked to come with me to meet the doctor and ask him some questions. She had always been concerned about my health and wanted to understand what was going on. As were were sitting in the waiting room, she asked me to write down any questions I had for the doctor so I wouldn't forget. She knew how nervous I got around doctors! The doctor asked me how I was doing, and I told him that my breasts hurt really bad, I was having to urinate way more often than usual, and I was unusually tired. I didn't think anything of it at the time. He had asked me if I had gotten a period since I stopped birth control in July, and I told him that I hadn't. That was nothing new. I never got a period unless I was on some form of birth control. He said that the next step in regulating my cycle was to chemically induce menopause for 6 months. He said I would receive a series of shots to "put my system on ice" as he called it. Before beginning, he asked if he could do a vaginal ultrasound to see if the Metformin had any effect on my ovarian cysts. He got as far as my uterus, and quietly said "You're pregnant". I couldn't believe it; neither could my mother! She was jumping up and down, and she had tears welling up in her eyes. I was just dumbfounded. I couldn't believe I was actually pregnant. After we all calmed down, he then proceeded to tell me I was 14 weeks pregnant, and the baby looked great so far. I immediately freaked out. I had been taking Vicodin for the abdominal pain almost on a daily basis. I had a CT scan, an MRI and a colonoscopy done back to back in September. I was also a smoker. I thought for sure this baby had to be messed up in some way. My joy went to sheer panic. The doctor said he would schedule me an appointment to go to the ultrasound clinic at the hospital for a series of tests and repeatedly told me not to worry, that everything would be fine. He prescribed me special prenatal vitamins to make up for the fact I hadn't taken them the whole first trimester. He also said it was fine to tell everyone. And tell everyone, I did!!!
My husband and I were over the moon; as well as the rest of our family. Although having children wasn't a top priority at that time, it now became the focus of our entire lives. We went to every prenatal appointment, and every ultrasound, and everything up to that point was great. We went in on Dec 22, 2006 for a regular prenatal appointment, and the doctor used the dopplar to let us hear the heartbeat. As long as the baby had a heartbeat, my mind was at ease. We were scheduled for genetic counciling on Dec 27. 2006 as my AFP test came back that I was a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis. We still weren't too worried, but we were going to have my husband tested and then go from there. We went in for our ultrasound before the genetic counciling appointment, and were shocked to hear our baby had died. The baby no longer had a heartbeat. I didn't understand how that could have happened, as we had just heard the heartbeat 5 days before. I didn't feel sick, I didn't have any pain, I didn't understand how I was carrying a deceased baby and I didn't know it.
I allowed them to do an amniocentisis, and then asked what to do next. I was like a zombie; I thought I was in a nightmare, I honestly thought someone was playing a cruel trick on me. I was informed that my OB would be notified, and then he'd advise me what to do. I went home and just cried. My OB wasn't available until 5pm that evening, so I had 5 hours to just sit and do nothing. My husband called several people and I just cried. I was scared and mad, and angry at God.
We went into see my doctor at 5pm and he had me admitted into the hospital that evening. I was given miso tablets and pitosin to induce labor, but it didn't progress very quickly. After 14 hours of labor, I finally gave birth to my little boy at 2:32pm on Dec 28,2006. I saw him, and held him, and to me, he was perfect. Because he wasn't 20 weeks (he was 1 day shy), it was still considered a miscarriage, and not a stillbirth. We had him cremated, and gave him all the respect he deserved. About 4 hours after the delivery, I went in for a D&C. I stayed in the hospital, and went home 2 days later.
I bled for about 2 weeks after that, and went in for several appointments with my OB to make sure everything was okay. He said I made it though everything very well. Although our hearts were broken, I was very thankful that I was able to experience pregnancy. My doctor told me not to give up hope, and said it would probably happen again. He actually said that after the initial 12 weeks of abstinance, we might want to be careful, because the possiblity of becoming pregnant again were pretty high. I didn't think anything of it, and I really should have, because so far, he had been right on with EVERYTHING!
Well, today is May 31, and I am currently 12 weeks pregnant. I knew right away this time. After the D&C, I started having normal periods, and after I missed my period in April, I thought something was up. I took 4 pregancy tests and all of them came back positive. I went back to my OB and he said he wasn't the least bit surprised to hear I was pregnant again. I've had several ultrasounds, and so far, the baby looks fantastic! As of right now, the due date is December 27, 2007; ironically, the same day I found out my little boy had passed. I don't know if God's playing another joke or trying to show me there is life after death. All I know is that I'm extremely blessed yet again.
For the record, I had NO morning sickness with the first baby. I didn't ever suspect I was pregnant until I saw the baby on the ultrasound. This second baby has given me every symptom to a tee. I've had the nausea, the vomiting, the food adversions, the heartburn, you name it, I've had it!!! I am told this is a good sign.
Good luck to you. If it can happen to me, it will happen to you!

i had a misscariage very early, like a week after we found out we were prego...and it sucked!
anyways my friend is a nurse and she said that since i didnt have a d&c there is no reason why i should wait to ttc again. she also said that after a miscarriage, or abortion, you are very fertile. its been 2 or 3 wweks since i had my miss...and weve been trying. the thing is i feel pregnant again...but im all confused. i have the sore breast thing going on, i feel sick after i eat certain things, and im extra tired all over again. this is why in on the internet searching things, and i found you gals...so i became a memeber. anyways i dont know how soon i should expect my period, im thinking it would be on time (normal time) like the second week of june or something...which thats only a week and a half away!! im excited to kno, but im scared!!
so i think we should all just keep in contact and share our stories!

Ok, so 3 1/2 weeks ago i took a pregnancy test and it came back with a faint positive. I then went in and had the doc do a blood test and it came back positive. Well, I was then going in regularly having them run HCG test making sure i wasnt going to miscarry. I have had 2 full term pregnancies and 2 miscarrages. Well, my HCG levels have been going up which is good, but on the other hand i have been spotting and bleeding. So my midwife wanted me to go in for an ultrasound and it shows no evindence of there being a pregnancy at all. The thing that confuses me is that the day before on May 29th my HCG levels were up to 2,060 which is good, and then the very next day on May 30th the ultrasound shows no sign of being pregnant. Should I still be holding out hope? Should I consider that i might be extremely early yet to where they cant see anything anyways?? what do you think??
