Pregnancy Info HOME

R if you are supposed to start your period the 20 of may you can go buy a pregnancy test and take it the ovulation predictor won't help as much as a pregnancy test go buy the first response it test 5 days before your missed period I just felt like a commercial ha ha ha

Amy, I also think I ovulated on the 5/2, I had my m/c on 4/18. When do you plan on taking your preg test. i have one in the restroom and it is so hard just to sit here and wait. Please let me know so I can take it around the same time. thanks

well I had a d/c 4/15/05 and my period still hasn't came. people bodies are diffrent and come at diffrent times. I'm waiting on mines so good luck.

I had a m/c at 4 wks. I got 2 positive tests at home, I went to the doc a few days latter and he said it was negative, and that I should bleed soon. I started bleeding 3 days after. The bleeding lasted 6 days. The doc said we could try again right away but I am nervous about it. I just don't want to get my hopes up again. I am going to use opk's so I can ttc close to ovulation. Does anyone have any advice? Good luck to everyone! :)

Tina--I tend to try a test too early. So, if my calculations are correct, if I am pregnant, I should get a positive around the 20th or 21st. So, I think I'll try on Saturday. Good luck! I hope you were successful!

Amy, thanks. I have to admit I tested and it came out negative, but I know it is to soon to test. i am going to test again on Monday. I know a few days matters. Keep us posted on Saturday and I will let you know my results on Monday morning California time.

Tina--I tested too early, too. Had a negative result. So, who knows. Good luck and I'll keep you posted!

Guess what I started my period today so, i guess i won't test on Monday. I do wish all of you the best of luck and Amy keep us posted. thanks for everyones stories and advise.

Tina--I'm so sorry. I kind of think that is where I am headed, too. Guess time will tell. Keep me posted and good luck. It will happen!

Hi everyone I am going through a mc right now. It has been 4 days seince I went to the Er with cramps and red blood. I was sent home with the dx of Threatened abortion. Well My Hcg level at the hospital was 742, and at the dr.s yesterday it was 241, it dropped and I will miscarry. I am 6 weeks pregant. I also found out at the hospital I was expecting tripplets!!! I have three beautiful children now, but thought one more would be perfect for us. But I havent pa__sed any clotts yet, just blood. So I took a HPT today and it is positive, do you think I might not have miscarried all the babies. My Dr. didnt do and ultrasound or anything,, just blood work. Thanks!

Kristy--Sorry to hear about your misfortune. From what research says, it could be possible for you to still maintain a fetus, but the best thing to do is follow your doctor's directions. They will probably want to re-test your blood in a few days to see if your levels are stilling lowering. I wish you luck and God's blessings!

Thanks Amy. I am going to call my Dr. in a few days I think. He didnt say he wanted to see me agin for a re-check. He just said "come back when your pregant" But I just feel pregant still, i can't explain it, but maybe every woman who experiences a mc still feels pregant, like the Dr. made a mistake or something. Well thanks for your support and good luck to you to.

Kristy--That wasn't very nice of your doctor to say "come back when you are pregnant." Especially after experiencing a mc. I'm sorry for that. What I have read is you can still feel pregnant while the pregnancy hormones are still in your body. If you are still feeling the same in a few days, I would definitely go back. Good luck to you! I, too, feel pregnant, but had a negative test this morning. I have several of the symptoms I had this last pregnancy. I hope it's not just wishful thinking.

Hi again. I really am thankful that I found this forum. I really feel like I have someone to talk to that understands how I feel. Don't get me wrong, my husband has been great, but he just dosn't know how I feel, and I guess out of all fairness I should mention that I don't know how he feels about it eather. We had always hoped for twins, never dreaming of tripplets, but we finally got them and I ghuess we sould call them our angles watching us from heaven. Well I wish you well, and I hope that your angle is OK. Peace and happiness ~Kristy~

I found out on May 3 during my eagerly awaited first ultrasound that the baby had no heart beat, I was 9 weeks and 2 days but the baby was only the size of 8 1/2 weeks. It was a huge shock as I had felt well and had no pain or sickness or anything to suggest that the baby had died. The sonogram man was no help as he just casually answered my questions, I had to ask him to point out the heart and he just siad "It's not beating" Basically he was useless. Through the next couple of days, I had more visits to hospitals and ultrasounds.....not to mention crying non-stop, trying to deal with the shock and pain, fearing the procedure (no need to fear, it was fine compared to dealing with the emotional pain of losing our loved baby) and telling our friends and loved ones. But anyway the end result was that I had a D and C on May 6, and bled for about 7 days. Then just spotted for a couple of days, when I stopped I was pleased. My husband and I made love twice the day after I stopped spotting, however this started to spotting again! (Brown discharge). I think I might wait awhile to do it again (a week or somtheing anyway), the doctor told me that it was a good idea to wait for one normal period before ttc. We weren't really ttc (well I wasn't but my husband said he was!) but just wanted to get back on track not to mention show my love for taking such good care of me with his love. The reasons the doctor gave to wait for one period were to make sure that all clots had pa__sed and also to make it easy for them to date the next period. I can't believe I could get pregnant from having s_x 13 days after the D and C, I bled for 7 days so I can't believe there would be enough lining for another egg to burrow into!!! Time will tell and wither way it is win-win, either I am pregnant, or I'm not pregnant and am healing and getting better everyday, and can enjoy my holiday next month with wine and spa baths! I just wanted to say how much I have found comfort and knowledge in reading your mail to each other, and I especially love the stories from the ladies who are quickly pregnant again. Keep up the talk ladies, only those of us who have gone through a miscarriage can know how horrible it is and help others in that position!! Cheer, love and babydust to us all!!!!

Katharine--I'm so sorry for your loss. You are right when you say only those who have gone through a mc can understand what we are feeling. I think this extends to some point our spouses. They are so loving and supporting, but don't fully understand what we are going through. As far as trying again, I know it depends on the type of mc and how far along you are as to whether your body is healthy enough. My doctor didn't discourage us from trying right away nor did she rush us into it. Her main worry is that we would be ready in all aspects and had healed emotionally. I'm playing the waiting game to see if we were able to conceive on our own without Clomid this time. I wish you lots of luck and baby love. You have an angel up there watching over you now. Take care and keep us posted. --Amy from Texas
