Cofused.. Then Happy.. Then Scared!

Hello,

I recently had a D and E on March 23, 2010. I had a missed miscarriage and did not find out till two weeks later. I thought that i was ten weeks, almost eleven, when it turns out that i was only eight weeks when i lost the baby.

Now a little over a month later, i am worried and happy all at the same time. The past month has been filled with a lot of depression, getting a tad bit too drunk for my age, and trying to cope with this the best way i know how. I thought that i may have been pregnant again, but the pregnancy test last week showed negative results, three days in a row. Tuesday morning i woke up and decided, "Hey, for ****'s and giggles, lets take a pregnancy test and see what it says one more time." Of course, it was negative. I took a shower, walked back into the room and guess what? IT WAS POSITIVE!!!!!!!! I went to the doctor the same day and they also took a test and theirs was positive. They took some blood and my HCG level was 17, which is around three to four weeks!! I couldn't, i'm sorry, but still can't believe that i am pregnant again. But now, more than ever, i am extremely worried. I have drank the past couple of weeks. Three times, not a thousand or anything but three times. I really hope this will not hurt my baby and i am really afraid that i am going to lose this one too. I hope that i will not but i need some reasurance!!

I'm sure your pregnancy will be fine.  Think of it this way....how many woman have had an oops pregnancy and when they found out it was 1-2 months later and had partied etc.  and their baby came out just fine.  I suggest you stop drinking to prevent fetal alcohol syndrome.  With my 2nd child I was 9 weeks when I found out I was prego.  We got pregnant either X-mas and New years.....you know how much I drank during that time?  plenty.... she is 16 now and was an easy pregnancy and delivery with her being in perfect health.

Congrats on your BFP and may the next 9 month go smoothly for you!!

Hi Ashley,

I am sorry for your loss, but on the same token CONGRATS on your new pregnancy. Your post really inspired me and gave me hope in getting pregnant quickly after a miscarriage. I had a natural miscarriage on 26 Mar 2010 at 7 weeks. The loss left me really depressed and emotionally drained. My question to you is did you feel any pregnancy symptoms prior to finding out? I ask because my husband and I stared trying to conceive as soon as the bleeding had stopped - I only bled about 5 days. We also had intercourse right at my 2 week mark after miscarrying - I had read somewhere online that 2 weeks after a miscarriage you ovulate. I took a pregnancy test last Wednesday (14 Apr) and it had come back negative. I could feel my world crashing in, but I am so nervous about taking another pregnancy test because I don’t know what I’ll see. I still feel pregnant though, but I just can’t differentiate the symptoms post miscarriage. Any advice you could provide would help me greatly.
