m/c on Oct 10---could I be preg again????

[shannon0218]

Hi everyone,
Well we had a m/c on Oct 10 (thanks to everyone at this board for your support) We had sex 7 days after. The last 2 days, I've had terrible heartburn, tender breasts adn this morning while I was at the airport (I'm there once a week to work with some dogs) I started to gag from the smell of jet fuel. The only other time that smell has bothered me was the short time I was pregnant. I guess something else that is pertinent is that I likely lost the baby 8 days before I actually started bleeding. I'd be thrilled if I was pregnant again, am I just creating these symptoms in my head??? Anyone conceive this close to a miscarriage?? My hcg level was only 35 on monday, down from 383 on the previous tuesday.
HELP!!!!

I'm not sure but it could be from there still being hcg in your system. after my m/c at 6 weeks it took 30 days for the morning sickness and all the other symptoms to go away.

A hpt will do no good since you know you have hcg in your system. I'd say just wait it out and see what happens.

Maybe your next hormone level will come back up?

My guess is that wouldn't be it, the way I knew something was wrong was that my morning sickness went away, my levels never went very high (at least not during when we were testing them)
The wait is agonizing!!:splat

I understand!

After my m/c we wondered if i were still pg. I never lost my early pg symptoms even when the m/c started. One morning I woke up completely engorged (I was bfing my 6 month old still) and the next day the ms and everything was gone. It took 60 days for af to even return.

The waiting sucks....we've al been through it... and it sucked for us all!

:OT

:blush I took a FRER a couple of days ago, just to be sure...I didn't go to a doctor at all, I just miscarried naturally...I knew I did m/c, but my boobs still feel tender, and I needed something concrete in front of me saying, "You are NOT pregnant."

I know that a lot of women get pregnant a few weeks after they m/c...could be possible....but I have my doubts that you would have ovulated SO early after yout m/c...I think it usually takes at least your normal time from AF to O.

For example, I O on cycle day 21 usually...so I am expecting AF around then-ish...when would you usually O if you had not been pregnant?

Lucysmama-do you count the day you actually miscarry as cycle day1, or is it the day you start bleeding????

[its_our_family]

I would count the day you miscarry. Since bleeding can last for weeks before the m/c actually happens.

[shannon0218]

See that's what makes me wonder, I started bleeding on the 10th, but I had lost the baby a good 7 or 8 days earlier, I generally ovulate on the 15 day, so if you counted cycle days from the day the baby died, it had been that 15 days when we had sex. I'm normally an ultra realistic type but this has made me nuts:scratch

[its_our_family]

Are your levels going to be tested again? That should let you know!

I know that ppl get pg the cycle after but I'm not sure about the cycle during....kwim?

a friend of mine mc at the begibbibg of the month and was pregnant again at the end of the month, our girls are 3 days apart. Keep us posted, it is possible.

I think it's very possible, I ovulated 10 days after my m/c.

[shannon0218]

Well, I spoke with my dr.s office this morning and my levels as of thursday afternoon were at 7, so I suppose I'm not pregnant right now, which is just as well, I am booked for knee surgery on Nov 10. I'm hoping that I'll get a period soon and then can start trying again after my surgery, hopefully I can be pregant in November!!:LOL I just can't believe how badly I want this now, the loss just made it that much more important.
