1 month since miscarriage still no period

[Jessica79LM]

I had a miscarriage on Dec. 6th. It was a blighted ovum that was detected with an early ultrasound. Previous to the ultrasound, I had no indications of miscarriage. I was prescribed Misprostol to induce labor & excel the pregnancy. This happened on the 6th. It has been exactly a month & still no sign of period. I had been getting my HcG levels tested weekly & they have been at 0 for two weeks now. The nurse who gave me the last results said "Congrats, you can start trying again. If you haven't already, you should expect your period any day now."  Well, that was 2 1/2 weeks ago. No period, nothing.  I am starting to wonder if I'll ever get one again. Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

thanks so much for that comment,and im so glad your pregnancy is going well.i will be ready again one day,im definatly not throwing in the towel just yet!i was due on my birthday 12th may,and its gettin closer and closer and im finding it very hard to deal with but iv got so much going on which is helping keep my mind occupied.it will never go away though,iv learned that its something you have to learn to live with,i thought that my birthday would be the end,but it isnt,its next yr,the baby would have been 1 and so on and so on,it will never end.so im trying my hardest to live with it and think about it without getting teary eyed,but im not quite there yet.i will get there though.everyone whos been through this has a different way to recover,mine is planning my wedding and my 2 kids that keep me strong and busy,i thought a baby would stop me feeling like this,but im not absolutly sure that it would so i couldnt bring a child into this if i wasnt sure.you obviously know what you want,and the fact that you are having another baby shows it was meant to be.thank you for all your comments,you have been a great help to me over the past few couple of months,i wish u all the luck in the world with your new baby.let me know how your getting on xx

hi!glad to hear your both doing well!hope your enjoying your pregnancies!i havnt been on here for a while.i came on the day after my last post.we have decided to stop trying for now,i am going to college in sept and we are getting married in march next year now too!just booked a honeymoon to the carrabian!im so looking forward to it!we discussed it and im definatly not ready to have another baby,for me its too soon.im still grieving the baby i lost and nothing can replace it.i didnt realise till lately how much it really has affected me and bringing another baby into the mix wont solve it.mabey its because i was so far gone when it died,i dont know.we will try again when the time is right,iv got my little boy and girl to keep me going,and planning a wedding too!im am going to college to study health sciences and hopefully go on to study sonography!scaning pregnant women would be a lovely job i think,apart from the obvious,what we have all been through,but at least i will sympathise with the women who have to go through it.good luck to all of you,you will all have healthy happy babies before the years out im sure!its just not the right time for me just yet.xx

i am SO happy for you both!sounds like everythings going great!well im due on 2moz,but nothing yet :o).i dont know how long my cycle is though so im going to wait until mabey weds/thurs and if i still havnt come on by then i will take a test!iv got 1 waiting in my draw!with my other children i never got positives untill i was a week late for some reason?it just depends when the test can detect enough of the hgc hormone,so im gonna leave it as long as i possibly can.if i have caught this time,this baby will be due the same time as my daughter was due 2 years ago in october!im trying not to think that far ahead tho(although its hard not to get excited!)because of what happened last time.xx

[heartbroken79]

im so happy for you everything sounds like its going great i think i ovulated round bout the 19-21st as i had some very light bleeding on the 28th/29th and think thats when it implanted so yeah i will be around 8wks as well i wont know for sure until i get my scan im hoping all is well my head is all over the place just now im so worried incase it happens again but cant help feeling excited when i think there could be a little baby in there but then i stop myself again n think "i need to wait to see if everythings ok 1st" i feel dizzy with it all al just be glad when i get my scan and know for sure its gonna be ok

I am due on 9/17 & am about 8 weeks along. I had been counting my 1st day of the miscarriage as the 1st day of a cycle but I ovulated later than usual due to it so I conceived on Christmas. (My miscarriage was on Dec. 6th & ovulated on Christmas Day or the day after) So the scan showed that I am 8 wks & due in Sept. They didn;t schedule a repeat scan since there was a strong heartbeat so I just have to start the regular preganacy appts & keep on going as planned until the 20 wk ultrasound. I am still nervous but I'm finally starting to let myself get excited since I had been trying not to be before now.

I hope everyone keeps us posted!!!

Heartbroken79 - Make sure to keep us posted on your scan. If you're due on the 16th, you're more like 8 weeks along like me. Good luck!!!

saz1986 - I hope you get a BFP so make sure to let us know the outcome. I have my fingers crossed for you!!!

[Jessica79LM]

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. Most definitely get a second opinion because you need that for peace of mind. Hang in there, we have all been through it here & we will be there for you no matter the outcome. Keeps us posted.

[heartbroken79]

hi jessi
just read your news well done!!! im soooooooooooooo happy for you it makes it easier for me now as av been so worried something is wrong again but i just know myself it isnt but i wont be put at ease until i see that little heartbeat flicker wont be long for me now 12 days it feels like its dragging tho how far on are you?? i had counted my D&C as the 1st day of my last period and worked it out that way and if i have worked it out i will be due the 9/16/10 but i wont know for sure til they scan me i think i am around 6 weeks today i cant wait just to see it and know its gonna be ok keep us posted on how you are

I went in for my 12 week appt & they couldn't get a heartbeat & did an u/s & the baby only measured 9wks. So I wasn't far enought along to be this long without one. Plus I had very normal periods all my life so thats why i am a little worried. I think I am fixing to change drs & get a second opinion. I did spot about 3 wks ago but it was just a spot so nothing that i would think should count. I am gonna give myself through this week & weekend to see if the pills worked & then make an appt with a new dr. Im trying to keep my head up.

[saz1986]

thats fantastic!so how far along are u now then?im due on saturday so im gonna wait till sometime next week if i dont come on ill do a test!

[Jessica79LM]

ok ladies, here's my update....I went in to have my scan, more nervous that ever since the last time I had an ultrasound was when I was told that I was miscarrying. I couldn't sleep lastnight & was worried how today would go. So I went in today & they 1st did the transabdominal ultrasound. It was harder for her to see anything considering that I am not very far along but she explained everything she was seeing. I don't know if I heard anything she said until she said "Oh did you see that flickering? Thats the baby."  I think it was the 1st time I took a breath while laying on the table. She told me to empty my bladder & get undressed so she could do the transvaginal ultrsound. There she took a lot more pics, checked my ovaries to ensure there was no eptopic pregnancy & then showed us a more clear picture of the gestational sac, yolk sac & baby. She then turned on the machine & we heard the heartbeat!  It was 161.  I am still very nervous & won't feel better until after I make it past the 13th week. But this does make me feel some what better. Due date is 9/17/10.  Good luck everyone!! Make sure to keep us all posted!!!!

[saz1986]

wow that is a long time not having a period!how far along were u?i know what you mean about being anxious to try again,but be patient,it will all be worth it in the end,you have time.the best thing to do is try and relax and enjoy yourself and keep thinking,i will have a baby sometime,and when i do its going to be great and you wil have all the time in the world to concentrate on it.as for waiting three cycles,i was told if you have had a D nC waiting 1 cycle should be enough,but its your choice.i had a D n C on 25th nov i was 16 weeks along when i found out my baby had died,iv waited 1 cycle and we r currently ttc.my doc and midwife said it will be fine.i hope everything works out how u want it to.x

Hello everyone. I am new here & have really felt better reading all your stories. I had a missed m/c nov 17th & a d/c nov 18. I have yet to have AF...I am getting very very uneasy b/c we are ready to try again. My dr said i had to have 3 cycles before we could try again & i can't even have one. I just went 3 wks ago & was checked so I know I am not preg again. I have finished a round of provera & am on the 3rd day so i am patiently waiting for af...We are not wanting to try again till after March b/c we have a trip planned but if i don't hurry up & start we won't be trying after the trip either. Getting very anxious...

[saz1986]

im keeping everything crossed for everyone!hopefully i will be posting some good news soon too!hugs to everyone xxxxxxxxxx

Congratulations to everyone that has had good news.  I went for an early scan at 9 weeks the day before xmas eve and was told we had had a missed miscarriage.  The baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks and I had a D & C on the 7th January.  It's been nearly 4 weeks since my op and I'm really hoping that I'm pregnant again.  I know I ovulated around the 29th Jan as I used ovulation tests to check my body was back to normal.

Just playing the waiting game now and hoping that my AF doesn't show...

It's good to hear all the stories and gives me and my husband much hope, here's hoping that it's all our year this year

I have no new updates as of yet. I have a scan tomorrow so by then I will know more & finally be able to feel more at ease if all goes well. This time around I have had a horrible time with my asthma. I never had a problem with it like I am having now. I am so nervous for tomorrow. I have been doing really good about staying positive & ignoring it b/c I was trying not to make a big deal of things this time around because it was so hard last time with it not working out. I had been doing good but we spent some time w/ my DH's family over the weekend & they were all a buzz about the new pregnancy & then today I just woke up worrying b/c tomorrow is the day that I can finally start to feel better.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!
