EARLY MISCARRIAGES:

Hi - reading these just makes me want to cry - but also to encourage you all not to give up! I have two children from a previous marriage - and my new hubby desperately wants to be a dad - but I am 40 - and just didn't know how things would go. We have 3 angel-babies (lost 3 in a row) - lost the biggest at 9 weeks on Christmas Day which was just devastating.

I am now just over 15 weeks along - so keep perservering - keep positive - feep focusing on your goal and RELAX! Be kind to yourself - the worst thing I did was to beat myself up because I couldn't seem to keep a baby! (It felt that way at the time).

Big hugs to ALL of you who have gone through or are going through this......there are many of us here who understand and want to be there for you!

I'm glad you're feeling better today - hugs!

I found this website when I MCd (as a lurker) and it was such a help - esp when I got another BFP.

Thanks so much for the kind words littlestar! I'm feeling good today. I know I'll get there one day soon. It was our first shot on Clomid and we concieved, so thats something positive. Taking time out after it happens is really important and talking about it! I am under a really good specialist, and I have had a complete m/c. There was no lingering and everything seems to be back to normal. I know that it will prob take 6 weeks or so for my HCG to come down, but we haven't had any more bloods done for that either. Not really too worried about that though because if I feel I need another blood test in 6 weeks I can just ring the doctor. It sure is a rollercoaster, but the the ultimate prize is that lovely bundle at the end! Positive thoughts to all of you and hope you all have a lovely day!

HUGS Southerngirl.
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. This is definetely the place to come to during this time - loads of ladies who totally get what you're going through (and don't make those dumb comments people make when they are trying to help but really don't)
Are they keeping an eye on your HCGs?? Also if you go for another scan try to make it within 2 weeks of the MC as the buggers charge you otherwise (like its not hard enough!!)
You will get your BFP - fingers and toes crossed for you. Take as much time as you need before TTC again - it really does your head in!
Come online any time you need to vent about anything!]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:20:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=740145&title=early-mc#740145 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=739643&title=early-mc#739643 Author: Southerngirl

Hi,
I'm new to all this kind of thing. I had my first mc on Sunday and was lost. I have irregular periods, endo and PCOS and have been on clomid. One round of clomid and I conceived, but had a mc at 6 weeks. It all started on the last Wednesday and I had a scan and there was a heartbeat. Bleeding had started on Friday and I had another scan and there was a heartbeat.   It has been so hard but I'm getting there slowly.
I am trying to be positive and look forward to the day I get a BFP.
This support network is great because when it happens you can feel a little bit lost. It's nice to have the positive forum to go to in times of need.

Biddy, I have good days and bad ones, sometimes I feel like I am actually getting there then I will cry at the littlist thing. It must be so hard watching your sister go through what you should be too. That is good news about the wheelchair! Really do try to not feel bad, you need to do and feel what you need to heal yourself.
Birdie, nope I didnt get PG again, just finished my first AF after MC 3 weeks ago, and I have to wait till next cycle to start TTC again due to having surgery (knee!). I wish I had though...]]> Sat, 25 Jul 2009 13:06:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=731002&title=early-mc#731002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=711626&title=early-mc#711626 Author: Birdie

I am so sorry to hear that Emmi_,
It is hard when you think of where you would be now if bubba had stuck. How are you coping? and your family?
It has been hard, you feel like you can't get passed it until its over & for so long it wasn't. I think ive found it really hard as my sister is also pregnant with a healthy bubba.
My DF is doing well, alot better than a month ago, I guess I was lucky as he got out of hospital the day before they confirmed the mc so was able to be there for everything. The surgeons think he should be able to walk on his own again in 5 weeks & we no longer need the wheelchair. Hes been coping well, been really there for me & ive felt bad that its taking me so long to get over the fact that all this has happened and hes so ready & so am I to start trying again its so hard to stick to our plan!

I can't begin to imagine what it has been like for you appy2 & MrsK2! Hope yours sticks MrsK2 and all the best for tuesday appy2!

I'm feeling alot better being able to talk about everything in hear ]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:01:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=711007&title=early-mc#711007 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710946&title=early-mc#710946 Author: MrsK2

Hi Appy2,
Thank you... yes I did get those things ruled out, while waiting for those results I was wishing they would come back positive, crazy huh, but it would have been nice to have an easy solution. My specialist recommended Clomid to give me the extra boost needed to ov, worked a treat for me but took a few goes to get the dose right. That's what got me up the duff this time. Two friends of mine have pcos and both have beautiful healthy babies, we can do it!! Good luck on Tuesday, I'm sure they'll have positive sticky bubba solutions for you guys... keep us posted ]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:33:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710946&title=early-mc#710946 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710867&title=early-mc#710867 Author: mylilmosaic

Awww MrsK2 Im so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. But congratulations on your new pregnancy and I hope that this is a sticky one.

Oh and welcome to Ohbaby!, it is a wonderful supportive community

I am in a similar situation to you I have had three m/c's in the last year and are also under a specialist at FA in Hamilton. I also have pcos in one ovary too. We have an appt with our specialist on Tuesday so I am praying that he will have some solutions for us to help us have a sticky bubba.

If you haven't already done so get your specialist to do all the recurrent miscarriage bloods to look for blood clotting factors and immune disorders etc. as I think they can put you on suitable medication during your pregnancy to help prevent m/c.

Goodluck though and I really hope you don't need that specialist ]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:52:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710867&title=early-mc#710867 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710762&title=early-mc#710762 Author: MrsK2

Hi All, It's been so helpful reading all your posts, I'm so sorry for those who have lost little ones, but reassured by those who have gone on to have beautiful babies! I'm 5 weeks 4 days and have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions as my hcg levels haven't been doing what they ought to. I have all the symptoms, morning sickness, rapidly growing and tender breasts - when they tell me it doesn't look good it seems like a cruel joke. If this one doesn't go ahead it will be my 3rd MC in 13 months, but I am not giving up just yet! I have let both come out naturally and had no problems. I gave myself 6 months after the first one but only because I needed to get my head space together before trying again. I don't mean to put anyone off by sharing my story, I have PCOS and I'm sure that's something to do with my inability to carry... so far. Hopefully it's something that can be leveled out with hormones or something?? I'm with a specialist this time around so if this one doesn't work out the next one is bound to. Look after yourselves and stay positive.]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:13:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710762&title=early-mc#710762 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710732&title=early-mc#710732 Author: Emmi_

Yep, I to have miscarried, I actually miscarried 5 weeks ago today. Although lucky for me I bled heavily for 2 days and then spotted for 3 and it was all done, it wasnt a drawn out process like yours! It must have been so hard?
I was 6 weeks and 3 days preg on the saturday, so I would be coming up to my 12 week mark this wed if I was still preg.
I hope your DF is ok? Was your bubba planned? How is your DF handling it all? ]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:10:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710732&title=early-mc#710732 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710727&title=early-mc#710727 Author: Biddy

Hi Emmi_
Nah I don't mind you asking, its actually kind of nice to talk about it as we hadn't told many people we were pregnant it was only when my fiancee was in an accident and ended up in hospital we had to tell people, so I don't talk to anyone about the mc.

I was 7 weeks when I first started bleeding but 3 lots of blood tests showed that my hcg were still increaseing not by what they were meant to but it was stil hopful, they confirmed the mc at 9 weeks when bloods came back and had decreased by 3000, they then sent me for a emergency scan which showed I had mc but she said there was no need for a d&c as I had bleed most of it away.

My doctor was great but couldn't understand why ive bleed so long so I was treated with antibiotic 3 times I'm hoping that it hasn't made it harder for us to concieve next time. But yea so other than when they confirmed I don't actually know when I lost the baby.
I hope you don't mind me asking but have you been through all this yourself?

Sorry about the story lol and thankyou, I so hope we fall pregnant first shot come october..fingers crossed!]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:04:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710727&title=early-mc#710727 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710534&title=early-mc#710534 Author: Emmi_

Hey Biddy,
I am sorry to hear about your MC, it sounds like a very drawn out process! I am so sorry that you have MC, and bled for so long! How far along were you if you dont mind me asking?
I do hope that your cycles are getting back on track, I have heard that Vitex can help with that if that is what you want to do. I wish you all the best for when you start TTC again, and you fall quickly when your ready.

I am so so sorry Liz.! Big Hugs to you, that is horrible :( All the best, hope you have a good & fast recovery.

Well they confirmed that I had mc on the 5th May after bleeding started on the 21 April & i finally stopped bleeding last week the 17th June. I've found it so hard to get over this I guess while I was still bleeding it was hard to deal with. I feel horrible that I've been feeling real down about it & emotional as I know I'm not the only one to have had this happen.
After a week of no bleeding, my breasts are sore & I'm bleeding again so I think Ive now got a period & might be about to have my first cycle in months! Who would've thought that would be exciting.
We have decided to start TTC in October, which i'm excited about but feel like its ages off & wish it was now! But this way, if we concieve October/November, I will hopefully be 3 to 4 months at our wedding & we thought it would be nice to announce it then

All the best guys, take care]]> Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:11:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710530&title=early-mc#710530 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=710048&title=early-mc#710048 Author: ElfsMum

Thanks Emma. I haven't had any clots, just the bleeding. TMI but it filled a pad today, whereas the other days was no-where near that much. I've decided not to go to work tomorrow - I think I'll probably be ok physically, but not sure about emotionally... and don't want to get there and then have to leave partway through the day in tears (and it's harder to get a reliever in and stuff). I'm not coping so well tonight so it's probably best I play it safe tomorrow.]]> Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:30:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=709547&title=early-mc#709547 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=709485&title=early-mc#709485 Author: Emmi_

Oh no Liz! I just congratulated you in the due in March thread!
I hope that everything will be ok. You have done the right thing by getting bloods done, it will give you an answer. Clots are also a big give away?
I think it is up to you to make the decision on whether go to work or not. It is good to be distracted, but also good to feel what you need to feel and be able to concentrate on what you are going through.
My thoughts are with you.

Hi guys, this sounds exactly what I'm going through. I've had spotting for a few days and thought it was just implantation or breakthrough bleeding, got a BFP on Tuesday and woke up this morning with the bleeding being worse. It feels like a period, achy, and is definitely red blood.

I went for a blood test today and have the second one on Saturday. The results from today will be in soon, I'm going to ring to get them and I have a feeling the HCG is going to be very low.

I went to work today and it was good to be distracted, I was so strong all day and just broke home when I got home! I don't know if I should go to work tomorrow or not (I'm a teacher). What did you guys do, did you have any time off work?

Hey Birdie,
I fell PG straight away after stopping the pill, no AF in between, and I MC at 6 and a half weeks.
We were told that when we were ready to start TTC again it was fine, didnt have to wait a cycle if you didnt want to. The nurse and MW both said the Dr only likes you to have waited at least one cycle to make dating easier (as your cycle can be out of whack). So we started TTC straight away.
Good luck to you, and I am so sorry that you have had to go through this. ]]> Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:45:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=708847&title=early-mc#708847 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=707448&title=early-mc#707448 Author: Birdie

Many will suggest you wait 2 cycles for a couple of reasons.. one is that your body has a chance to clear out anything that may have been left behind from the pregnancy, another reason is to give yourself time to heal emotionally.

We chose to wait one cycle, I wanted to have a natural period after my D&C. The second cycle we conceived and we got Jake.

Its important to do what you feel is right for you.]]> Sun, 14 Jun 2009 18:39:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=703460&title=early-mc#703460 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=701526&title=early-mc#701526 Author: Birdie

Just thought i would put up an update! I started having cramps and bleeding on monday, have been lucky as it has not been too heavy or painful and i am hoping it will stop over the next couple of days.

Went and saw a specialist on monday (as had emailed him when I was preggars) He was really great but advised that we wait 2 cycles before TTC again I think this is due to me only just being off the pill, I got pregnant straight after coming off it, did not even have a 'normal' period first. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation? I am dying to TTC again but the specialist said if I do straight away I may end up with another MC and be really annoyed with myself!

Awww Birdie Im so sorry you are having to go through this, it is not easy. I have had three miscarriages and I always wanted to try again as soon as I could. The best thing for you to do is to get your doctor to refer you for a scan at your nearest ultrasound clinic as they will be able to tell you whether you have passed everything or not, I have had three and they have all been free.]]> Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:51:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=700309&title=early-mc#700309 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=700231&title=early-mc#700231 Author: Birdie

Hi there,

I had 2 positive HPT's a week ago, went to my GP who arranged serial hcg's which appear to be low and decreasing so she told me I was likely to miscarry. I have not started bleeding yet although I had light brown dc 3 days ago and now am having just normal dc. My breasts are no longer sore and i was just wondering if anyone has experieced this? Was my mscarriage the light brown dc or am I likely to start bleeding and if so when????

I was only very early, about 4 weeks and had just come off the pill so my dates were all screwed up. Just want to start trying again but confused with what my body is doing...help ]]> Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:35:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=700231&title=early-mc#700231 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=687095&title=early-mc#687095 Author: LouD

Hi ladies

just an update and answer to some questions. I had a scan and things are looking good, im suffering from MS etc and dont see any reason why this one wont stick around now

so I managed to concieve straight after my MC. baring in mind mine was an early MC, so my body bled for a little bit longer than AF would and i OVed right bang on time, actually i think day early, i was using OPKs (courtesy of lovely littlestar) and managed to nail it next time around. Not only did i nail it, I also got early implantation so got an early BFP and i personally put that down to having left over progesterone that pushed things along quicker.    

I had my scan the other day and not only was i not put behind with any days due to size etc, i was actually put a day ahead which makes me realise i really did implant very early.......i had a speedy egg.

I was very worried that i would OV later but my MC didnt affect any of my cycle at all

I hope the same happens for you ladies.........getting a BFP early was a bit scary cos i didnt want to get too excited and didnt really tell anyone for a few days just in case i MCed early again, but i kinda knew deep down that it was different this time as it was an early BFP as opposed to the other which was a later BFP faint line. I was 16DPOs when i got my BFP in March, but then i was only 8DPO when i got the same faint line..........

Sorry for the long post, but i also just wanted to add that i have done 25 preg tests since my first one this time around to see if they get stronger and they did.......lol good ol cheap internet tests are great]]> Fri, 15 May 2009 15:00:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=687095&title=early-mc#687095 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=683948&title=early-mc#683948 Author: littlestar

Hi Biddy - I'm so sorry about your MC.
After my MC I decided to take charge and learn about my cycle. I started temping (which to be honest I never really got the hang of) and bought some ovulation tests. Certainly wasn't expecting anything to actually happen straight away, which was a bit of a suprise. My dr said its normal for cycles after a MC to last from 4-8 weeks.
I found it comforting to see the changes in temp and ov tests as my body started working again. But having another baby straight after the MC did freak me out more than I expected.
If you decide to gets some OPKs I would recommend buying them online as its much cheaper than in the pharmacy (I got mine from baby4you but there are loads of other places as well)

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me or just post them up here as there are (unfortunately) loads of ladies who have been through the same thing.]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 08:06:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=683948&title=early-mc#683948 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=683833&title=early-mc#683833 Author: Biddy

I have unfortunately had a mc, confirmed last Tuesday .
It was a complete mc, as they put it, so I did not need a DnC.
The bleeding has lasted 3 weeks, so I really don't know how to go about my cycles. I read somehwere that your body can treat a mc as a period.
Was thinking on getting an ovulation test but really don't know?
My doctor told me that we can start trying as soon as I think I'm ready which made me feel more positive. ]]> Mon, 11 May 2009 21:05:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=683833&title=early-mc#683833 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=666145&title=early-mc#666145 Author: littlestar

Hi Chickielou

I just wanted to pick your brains about your cycle after MC. I had my MC just prior to Easter, the bleeding lasted about 7 days. I've decided to go with the theory that my MC was like a late AF and we have started BDing again in the hope that I fall pregnant again shortly. So my question to you is (I'm getting there!) do you think you ovulated as normal (normal date etc) to produce your BFP?

Congratulations by the way too - wow there's been a lot of due-Dec babies!]]> Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:35:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=665400&title=early-mc#665400 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=663382&title=early-mc#663382 Author: LouD

Thanks Aliasmum

That thread was last month, which doesnt seem that long ago, but ages ago IYKWIM.......cos since then im BFP again and time around im getting stronger symptoms and my POAS were pos (but very very faint) at 8DPO(unlike last month my POAS were only just showing up 15 DPO), and i have been POAS every day and they are stronger and stronger every day........Im now about where i was when i MCed last month and im getting definite symptoms unlike last month(and a very dark pos line on POAS)..........I am very nervous to say the least, but ive decided to take the approach of seeing a MW next week, and getting bloods done the week after that and when im 8 weeks getting a scan done then. Trying not to get my hopes up is the hardest thing!!

Everyone on here was great last month!! really helped me through it.........]]> Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:14:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=663382&title=early-mc#663382 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=662119&title=early-mc#662119 Author: AandCsmum

Well i did a HPT today and there was no line at all and my bleeding has completely stopped..... so my mc journey would appear to be a lucky short one and not dragged out (started monday night and finished today Thursday)

The only thing i have been getting is a little pinching pain in the centre of my uterus. This is probably things going back to their rightful place i would assume

I will brace myself for a painful OV

sorry Kelly about your double wammy!! Is there some family history of stuff since you had ashleigh early also? would this be something that affects you concieving and sustaining also? Good luck with the bloods, hope it comes back with something that is easily fixed.

I hope my lack of wanting bloods or scans doesnt come back on me. If i was further along i would have gone and got these but because of how early i was im confident that nature is just doing it thing and i dont need to intervene.........I really hope my niaevity doesnt come back to bite me. but this is the way i have chosen to let this one go so will have no one to blame but me if it does...lol]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:05:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=640422&title=early-mc#640422 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=639603&title=early-mc#639603 Author: KH25

Chickielou,

So sorry you are going through this    I went through this exact same thing in February. I had spotting even before getting my bfp (on a Saturday), the hpt's I took over the next couple of days were not getting darker and I started bleeding properly on the Wednesday. I went to my gp and had a scan on the Thursday which showed it was a complete miscarriage. i also had some bloods done and my hcg was down to 5 so it happened very quickly. My cycle went straight back to normal afterwards, I ov'd on day 14 (beware, if you are anything like me then it is bloody sore after the mc lol!). Unfortunately, luck was not on my side again and i had a repeat of the previous month and another mc. I've been to the gp again and we are taking the month off trying to give my body a chance to recover properly and are having some genetic blood testing done to make sure there is no other reason for the mc's.

But good luck to you, it is definately a good sign that you now know your body is ready after getting all the depo out of its system! Fingers crossed your ttc journey is nearly over hun ]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:38:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=639603&title=early-mc#639603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=639548&title=early-mc#639548 Author: littlestar

Hugs Chickielou!!

Fingers crossed for you for the next round - although if you end up like me and preg straight away you will freak out!!
My cycle was held up by 2 weeks (well really only 1 given I had 5wk cycles) But its common to be held up from anything from 1-4 weeks.

My dr told me to me come in if I bled for more than a week (apparently thats not a good sign). Also if you are having a scan to confirm everything has done what it needed to - make sure its within 2 wks of the MC as the scan people charge you full price after that date.

my hcg levels were quite low to start with, my preg tests were so faint for 3 days in a row and didnt get darker so that kinda gave me a clue, and my temps have almost dropped to my basal rate.........
my boobs are no longer sore........so i figure my progesterone levels have also dropped off.

Im expecting to go into my next cycle pretty much at the same rate as a normal AF.........thats my theory anyway and since i have never had a MC before I am also hoping along with my theories!!   I get a good feeling about the next couple of months for me anyway.......i feel positive cos i have gotten this far, since coming off the depo, it took me over 12months to get a BFP so i feel already that we have acheived something by getting that far, and i know that it wont take another 12months, that my body is back and in working order and this MC was the luck of the draw.

Aww Hun, Im sorry to hear this news All your questions are pretty much answered, but in regards to temping, they will remain high until all the HCG is gone, which can take up to a week maybe more depending on where they were to start.

I had a D&C and a week later my HCG levels were still at 30, so would have shown positive HPT.

Awwwww.... I had the same thing except I hadn't tested, but the clots are a big giveaway aren't they. I bled for two whole weeks and the next cycle (which was 7 weeks later) I bled for another two weeks. At that time I checked things with my GP and he said just to let things do their own course as it's a lot easier on the body. You'll be inspired to know that I didn't have another cycle after that, well not for over 9mos anyway

As for temps and retesting, while there is a small possibility that you have lost 'only' a twin, I think the chances are reasonably high that while you are still bleeding, your hormone levels may be elevated enough to give a false positive. Your temps may well do the same thing... stay up for a while until your hormones settle.

It may pay to read through some of the other threads on m/c's, if you're in the right frame of mind. Be aware that you will probably experience the "baby blues" just like you did when you had your other kids... in about 3 days from now. Your hormones will drop off in a similar fashion to when you gave birth.]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:34:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=638280&title=early-mc#638280 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=638017&title=early-mc#638017 Author: littlestar

I don't know anything about the temp thing - hopefully someone else will be able to help you there.

Depending on how high your HCGs got they can take some time to drop back to 0. So its quite possible to take another HPT a few days later and still get a positive. Best thing to do is get a couple of blood tests - if they show increases its all good news but if they show a decrease then its pretty certain things are not so great.

Hugs - make sure you take care of yourself, its sad time for you and DH.]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:43:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=638017&title=early-mc#638017 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25270&PID=638008&title=early-mc#638008 Author: LouD

Hi

I am currently experiencing my first MC. I found out i was preg with a very faint line on friday night which took the full 5 mins to come in.
Then i took tests for the next couple of days and they were just as faint. then last night i started spotting and now i have full blown AF with clots..........So i was only preg for a short time. the worst of it all for me was it has taken 12months to get preg at all after Depo.

Although i kinda had that sense that something wasnt right with no symptons or the tests not getting darker as they really should with HCG getting higher etc...........

Because its just a late AF basically i gather i dont really need to race out and get any D&C (unless bleeding lasts longer than 5 days) so im just letting it run its course like its a normal AF and go back to charting

One question i do have is i took my temp this morning and its still elevated.........will this drop over the next couple of day?
And did anyone do another preg test a few days after MC just to double check that by some miracle you might still be preg............everyone keeps telling me too but honestly what would the chances be?
