Pregnancy after MC??
Hello
As you may have seen in my previous post, I had a miscarriage recently (5 weeks ago tomorrow) and this morning, after 16 high temperatures (13 is normally my longest run of high temps when not pregnant) got a +ve HPT. I did 2 tests as I cannot believe I really might be pregnant - it was over 12 months between falling pregnant with the miscarriage 5 weeks ago and the previous miscarriage I had. Is it possible that I am still getting a +ve test from any residual hormones following my last miscarriage? It was a very early miscarriage at just over 5 weeks and I am scared to hope I might be pregnant again as I feel like it will be snatched away again. Any thoughts appreciated with thanks!! Clare |

Clare If your temperatures returned to your normal pre-ovulatory range immediatly after your miscarriage and you had a normal temperature rise this month, I think there is a good chance you are pregnant, especially with the strong +. It seems possible, but unlikely that it is still from the previous pregnancy. With a couple more days of high temps, you can be almost certain you are pregnant. If you want a definite confirmation, you doctor can order blood tests a few days apart to check whether your hcg levels are going up. With my miscarriage in the 12th week, my temperatures did not drop in the first month. I did get + tests for the next few months due to the residual hormones, but they were light +. When I actually did get pregnant again, the difference on the same brand of test was amazing. The + line appeared very dark the moment it got wet, before the control line appeared. --Betsy |

Clare,
If it was a really early miscarriage, then it's not likely that your + test is leftover from that pregnancy. If you miscarried at 5 weeks, that basically counted as your period. Since you weren't very pregnant, your body ovulated again about 2 weeks later. If you had sex around that time, then about 2.5 weeks later, after you noticed 16 days of high temps, then it sounds like you are pregnant. Congrats! I know how nervewracking it is, but try to breathe. Good luck! -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys -- 01/03/03 Addison Grace -- 09/30/04 "curious clare" wrote in message oups.com...

Pregnancy after MC??
Thanks to everyone. My temps did go down straight away after the
miscarriage and I have had an 18th high temp this am so hopefully I am expecting in late March. I feel more like I die when pregnant with my DS this time, especially feeling really sick if I get the slightest bit hungry so hopefully that is good news Clare |

I didn't feel pregnant with pg #2 like I did with DD / pg #1 (no morning sickness/ tenderness etc) and that 2nd pg m/c at 9w1d and I had a D&C. Like you, we also got pg again straight away, (a bit of a "surprise" as in we weren't really ttc, but not *not* ttc iykwim). However, I initially thought the lack of AF was due to the m/c and D&C and my body taking a little time to adjust back to normal so I didn't do a HPT until I was about 6 weeks pg (pg #3). I recall feeling queasy / morning sickness before I did the HPT. My Ob did some Beta HCG tests for me straight away and I was indeed pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy 9 lb 12 oz DS in due time. Of course I stressed a lot more for the first trimester and also felt like I'd been pregnant for a year by the time I gave birth (which in reality, I almost was!). So I wish you similar luck and send you sticky vibes~~~ Amanda |
