I would just like to give you all some hope.

I had m/c on Aug 4th,it was complete and I was 5+3 when it happened. Have felt fine and we just decided to carry on as normal.

I have done pg test today and I am pregnant without having another period. It feels different this time as I really don't feel well at all,huge boobs,horrible taste in mouth,tired,no energy!

Dh and I are totally shocked,incredibly happy but we are not going to say anything to family for a while.

To all of you,do what feels best for you.

Love Nicke

Whenever I come on here I find it so releiving to find that other people are in the same boat as me. I have has 3 miscarriages one after the other since March, my GP referred me to the hospital for recurrent miscarriages but my husband and I opted to go private (with the help of our parents).

I was told by my GP to use contraception as my body seriosuly needed a break, so......... although we didnt use contraception we did only have sex a handful of times and at times I thought I wasn't ovulating.

When the time I was due for my period came and went with no period two weeks later I took a test and it was positive and a strong positive too, I was in shock and didnt see how it could have happended.

My appointment with the consultant was the next day funnily enough so when I went in for my appointment I told the Dr I thought I was pregnant again he said there was no reason why this couldnt be my "rolls royce pregnancy" he took me for an internal scan and said that although it was early under 5 weeks the sac was in the right place and has a nice thick lining.

I am a bit confused though because the date of my last bleed was 17 July which would make me 7 or 8 weeks. Does he mean that I am 7 weeks pregnant but the baby growing is under 5 weeks or that I am only 5 weeks ish and the baby is about 3 weeks. Can anyone help me out on that?

Anyway I wanted to just let you knwo what was happending to me and although the doc says everything is ok at the moment he is still monitoring my HCG with blood tests which I am still waiting for the results of and I think this will really tell whether I may miscarry soon or not! I just cant allow myself to think I am pregnant I am just way too scare to do that at the moment.

Any ideas on the weeks thinng would be much appreciated.

I have my fingers crossed for you all!

Lotsa love and prayers!

Congratulations! Gotta feeling this one's gonna last for you!

I don't think the consultant means the baby is smaller than it should be, so don't worry too much about that. Sometimes when you've miscarried your body tends to take either a really long or a really short cycle (ie you could have either a 2 week cycle or a 6 week cycle). This is more common after consecutive m/c's. I think this is what's happened to you as, as you say, you didn't think you were ovulating but you still got pregnant. I reckon your body was gonna go through a 6 week cycle so you ovulated 2 weeks later than you thought you would. That would make you 5 weeks pregnant and not 7 weeks.

It all makes perfect sense! So don't worry too much about your last bleed and start thinking from now....Yay!! You're 5 weeks pregnant!!!

Hi everyone.

I too am pregnant after a missed miscarriage in late June when I was 11+3. Found out at my dating scan that my baby had died at 8+4 weeks and was devastated. Fortunately my mum was with me and stayed for a week to help me through it all and my husband was wonderful. Had medical management that had a few problems that lasted a week but was treated very well at hospital with own large room and bathroom and husband was allowed to sleep next to me the night before it all happened.

We waited for me to have one period and then started ttc again. It worked straight away even though on the day my period was due a test was negative. Waited 4 more days and did another test as still no period and this time was positive. Am now 7+1 weeks and seeing my midwife tomorrow. Have asked for an early scan at 9 weeks and they said will try but no promises. If they don't give me an appointment will probably lie and say have pain just so I can get a scan done earlier than 11 weeks as can't bear to wait that long.

Feeling sick every day and very tired. Gone back to eating hardly anything as last time but still worried as had all the symptoms last time after the baby had died.

Just wanted to share my news that you can get pregnant again right after miscarrying and good luck to everyone trying out there...x

i realised i was 2 weeks late did a test on the saturday (posative) and started bleeding on the sunday went the hosp on the 14th august and all had gone but ive had 8 misscarriages before and this one was different but being only 22 people dont listen and think im immature but 2 weeks later started feeling sick and really tired went docs they said it must be flu so i asked for another hcg blood test and im pregnant again due for scan next week see whats happening but this sickness is just like when i had my 2 kids-horrid
so there is hope and trust your instincts its your body.

Hi,

It is so great to hear that you are pregnant again so soon after miscarriage. you are correct that it does give us all some hope.

I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Take care

Thats Excellent Nicke. I had my M/c on the 14th Aug. Delivered on the 16th Aug (17 Wks). Started trying again on the 29th Aug so hopefully good news should be arriving soon. Fingers Crossed.

Take Care x x x

I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope that you are here giving us good news soon.
I am still going strong and am just at the same stage I was when I lost in Aug! At the moment I ok,a little nervous but still feeling very pregnant!

i had a miscarriage on the 18th of july an have found out i am pregnant again, i did not have a period after my miscarriage an am confused about how many weeks i am.. can u help???
xx

I had a miscarriage on 29th july and got a positive test on 4th September. I didn't have a period in between my m/c and my positive test, but I had what i think were ovulation pains on 15th Auguest.

My GP has used this date to calculate that I will be 6 weeks tomorrow, but he has referred me for an early scan mostly to reassure me as I have had 2 m/cs this year, but also to check my dates.

Perhaps you could ask your GP to refer you for a scan to get more of idea of how pregnant you are?

Good luck and let us know how you get on

all the best nicke xx

Am so pleased for you and you're right it does give us all hope so thankyou! I thought the same had happened to me, was still testing positive 4 weeks after m/c even tho it was complete and was so disappointed when AF arrived as you can imagine. Doesn't sound like that's the case for you with your symptoms tho just goes to show how different we all are. There's no such thing as normal with these things! So the motto is ..... don't give up hope girls, it does happen! Congrats Nicke (and DH of course) and keep us informed how you're doing.

Lotsa love,

I had two seperate blood tests,one on the day off my scan which is when they told me the m/c was complete and uterus back to normal and then a follow up two days later. By the second test my levels were back down to near normal so I was confident yesterday that it wasn't just left over hormones in my body. Also had a +opk around my usual ov time as well.

We are still in a state of shock,and we are not going to tell anyone just yet as we want to get a little further on.

Take care everyone

Love Nicke x x

Congratulations Nickie! You must be thrilled (and very fertile)! Ha ha!!

Be as strong as you can and don't let any docs/midwives tell you you're wrong! My last midwife told me I had to be wrong about my dates because a woman never knows exactly when they're ovulating, especially just after a m/c. Rubbish! I knew full well I was 7 weeks when I saw HIM. It had been 7 weeks since I had a m/c and he told me I can only be 4 weeks at the most. Unfortunately I miscarried that baby as well but it was confirmed as being the exact age that I thought it would be. So we know best!

Keep strong and you'll be fine. And you're right not to tell anyone. Tell them when you're ready.

Fingers crossed for you!

Seems to depend which area you live in how hospitals handle m/c. I wasn't offered any blood tests to monitor levels, that's why I got my hopes up so much when hpt's were coming back positive. Have heard some real horror stories so it's lovely to hear a positive one for a change. Sounds like your hospital did all the right things. Hope you didn't think I was trying to rain on your parade by mentioning what happened with me, just hate the idea of anyone else being as disappointed as I was!

Love, Clare xxx

I have to say I had a really positive experience with the EPU at our hospital.
I started beleeding the Saturday and sa the duty doctor who told us to be positive as the bleeding was light at this stage.He also booked us for the scan at the EPU for the Wednesday.When the bleeding got worse they were good and sent me to A&E. They were great there.Got seen straight away,nothing too much trouble. Then when we went to EPU they explained everything.The scanner was really gentle,they were sympathetic and offered us a number of leaflets.Asked if we had any questions and took the first blood test for hcg levels.Explained that if the levels were still high I would need another test and also what would happen if they remained high.

Never once was I made to feel like just another m/c,They were brilliant.They even told me that as long as I felt ok I could start trying again when the bleeding stopped. Just explained that it was just fro dating purposes that they say to wait.

I have read some of the stories on here and I can't believe how some women get treated.
