Pregnancy Info HOME

Congratulations Stacy and Good Luck Jen!!! My prayers are with both of you. Question: Does HSG test improve fertlility? The reason I'm asking is because I had this test on March 8th and I got pregnant right after the test. Before that I've been trying to get pregnant for 16 months. Do you think that HSG test helped me get my fertility back? Did I miscarry because I got pregnant right after the test?

thanks for all your prayers. we are not telling anyone yet either. i spoke with my doctor this a.m. and "confessed" that i was pregnant again already. he kind of chuckled. i don' t think he believes that we weren't trying. anyway, he wants me to wait 2 weeks before i have my levels tested. i am a__suming that that is because i had abnormally low levels before my m/c and was nervous. he is probably trying to spare me the trauma of hearing that my levels are low as the should be because i am so newly pregnant. i'm thinking 10 days. staci- good luck at the u/s. I'll be praying for you until then.

jen-thanks-thinking of you too! when do you go in for your testing? I wish you all the best...these days of waiting are agony. every pain I have I freak out that it is something wrong and a m/c is bound to happen. how do you not worry???

i do worry but i have been trying to be positive. during my last pregnancy, i had an unshakable feeling that something was wrong. then I miscarried. i'm not saying that is why i miscarried i just had a bad feeling. this time i just feel better about it. one major thing i have done is to swear off all pregnancy websites that have a negative vibe. you know what i mean don't you? the ones that are all gloom and doom and oh no you're pregnant already?! what's done is done and if my baby is strong and healthy and God has it in his plan that this baby is going to join our family then he will. so far (only a couple days) these thoughts have helped me to feel better about this pregnancy. we still won't be telling anyone for a while. having to tell people over and over that you lost the baby is torture. I also had a thought about carrying our babes. It is too bad that we have to spend our pregnancies (at least the beginning) so nervous and scared when it can be such a magical time. with my first pregnancy ( healthy baby girl), I was a little nervous until that first trimester was over but after that it was such a special time. i tried to enjoy everything about it and remember that that was a time unlike any other that me and my baby would share. just now i decided that this pregnancy would be the same way. even if i don't carry this baby to term, i am going to make the time that i do carry him/her as special as it can be. i'm going to try to remember this pregnancy as a good and happy time no matter what. o.k. we'll see if that actually happens! think positive!

staci- what is prometrium?

jen-it is a progesterone supplement. I dont belive my levels were even tested. I had inquired about it and then my doctor prescribed them for me. I was told that even if my levels weren't low that it wouldn't do any harm to take the pills during pg. we'll see...

This is my first time on this kind of sight. I found out on 4/5/05 that my baby had died. I was 17 weeks and had a D&E on the 6th. I had a polyp on my cervix and had discharge throughout most of the pregnancy, however, that day I had a discharge that had red blood in it. I too had a feeling (probably because of the discharge) that this pregnancy wasn't healthy-just a gut feeling if you know what I mean. But I thought because I saw the baby at 8 weeks w/ heartbeat and then heard it at 12 weeks, I convinced my self that everything was ok. Jen, did you have a period before you conceived? I have not started yet. My Dr. told me that I would have a period then to wait 2 more cycles - seems like an eternity. My husband doesn't want to try for a while, but I do, so we are split. Good luck to all of you and please keep us posted.

Jen- Did you m/c naturally, or have a D&C?

I am 33 and have 2 children. I had my first m/c on April 21. I literally felt like the life had been jerked out of me. I went back to by ob doc today and he said to wait about 2 months before trying to conceive again... but like you all, I want it now, but I am scared of another m/c. I was aggravated when I left but now that I think about it, he is probably right. I think you should wait a couple of months or at least until you've had one normal period.

sandie- i did not need a d&c. i m/c naturally and my levels were back to normal within a week which is probably why i got pregnant. i didn't expect to be ovulating so soon. i did not have a period before i got pregnant. my husband and i had every intention of waiting 1-2 cycles like my doctor suggested. i have done a lot of reading since i got pregnant and the information and advice seems split. some say wait (although i have yet to hear an actual medical explanation for this) and others say start trying right away. who knows! I am pregnant now and praying that everything goes well. if I had it to do again I would probably wait one cycle. I have never been on a site like this before either but so far i have found it very comforting to hear about others who are in the same situation. good luck.

You guys have completely lifted me! I m/c on May 4 and went through a couple of days of questioning myself if I wanted to ttc so soon...I do and so does hubby. The m/c actually started on the day I start my period(april 30th) and the bleeding has ended just like my normal period, according to my ovulation calendar I should be ovulating between May 12-14...I swore by this last time as it was the first month we tried the ovulation calendar and I was pregnant! SO! My body already feels back to normal and we're going to bd probably every day for awhile! LOL :) (BTW, I m/c after 6 weeks naturally pa__sed the sac and everything)

What does AF stand for?

I miscarried on 2/22 and had my first normal cycle beginning 3/25. Had my 2nd normal cycle beginning 4/11 (had to wait two cycles to ensure lining was stable) and am now four weeks pregnant. Good luck to you!

KimNic, I miscarried on 4/8. We are trying again right away too. Keep me posted on your progress!

well I have been ttc right after miscarriage, anyways I ovulated on friday but I wasnt aroun honey, We bd on wednesday night. Do you think that this would have been close enough, Didnt see each other again till Sunday night. What are my chances? I am mad about that.
