Okay well I had a miscarriage on 04/05/11, it was early maybe 6 weeks. Since than my husband and I were not practicing safe sex even though we should have been. I wonder if it really matters that you wait in between after a miscarriage so early on.... we had a stillbirth last may at 28 weeks with our baby girl mia and they never even told us to wait after that but it took us over 8 months to conceive again but after this miscarriage we were told to wait 2 months. Now I am concerned as I thought I was getting my period on Tuesday this past week but the bleeding was very very light and only lasted a day in a half so now I am worried it was implantation bleeding. I was expecting it be my period since it was approx. 4 weeks after my miscarriage now I am not sure if I should take some pregnancy test next week or if its even too early to tell . I am sure its too early to tell....also scared to see a negative result....and than scared if its positive if conceiving so early will just result in problems. Just had to vent its so hard having no control over this......just waiting for my rainbow baby.
The TTC after loss group might have more answers than I do...but maybe bumping your question back to the top of the list will help.
I M/C November 2nd, 2010 at 8 weeks. My dr gave us the "ok" to try immediately since it SEEMED everything completed right away. I stopped bleeding after 8 days, had a neg preg test at 14 days. We tried to conceive from days 14 through 18. On day 18 I had brown spotting - like I had when I had implantation with the first pregnancy. I thought I might be pregnant again.
I took a preg test on day 26 and it was positive. My doctor wanted me in to see what was going on - was I pregnant again or was the miscarriage incomplete? HCG can fall then rise if some tissue is left behind.
She tested my HCG levels - they went from 47 to 137 in 3 days. No definitive answer there, just rising levels. She did an ultrasound on December 8th and it just showed my uterus thickened - like that in EITHER early pregnancy, or incomplete miscarriage.
When I got home from the ultrasound, I started bleeding - a lot. I started passing tissue all over again. I knew whatever I was (preg again, or still MC) I was no longer considered "maybe" pregnant. My dr did another ultrasound a week later as well as tested my HCG levels -
