My doctors always told me to wait but so many others are told they can try again if they want to, it just depends on the doctor. Sucks that the nurse is being that way but I’ll be honest that I get that type of attitude from most nurses I’ve dealt with so try to take it with a grain of salt. Next time I’d let her know that while you appreciate her insight, you’ve ended up pregnant and want to know what you’re #’s look like, not her negative opinion. Ugh, so irritating. I got some crap even with this current pregnancy as my urine was so diluted when I came in they were condescending to me about my mistake of being pregnant.

Anyway on the new pregnancy and your test looks great so try to take comfort in that. I know it’s a stressful wait but hang in there!

Your tests look great! Clearly the HCG rising! The first draw isn't such a big deal as the following draws are. As long as your levels are doubling every 24 to 72 hours hours then your good. As for the nurses comment....I was 7weeks pregnant when we lost our little poppy at the end of July. When I went in to see the my OBGYN he said there was no real reason to wait to try again. He said that there was no medical evidence to suggest that a pregnancy concieved right after a miscarriage would end in another miscarriage or cause me any issues. As long as we felt mentally ready that we could. He did also say that if I had been past the 1st trimester or if I had to have a DNC that he would suggest waiting. I know every woman is different and every doc is different. But in my opinion you haven't done anything wrong. Please keep us posted with your numbers!! Btw just so you know...the American pregnancy association says that HCG levels that are 5-426 miu are considered normal for pregnancy at 4 weeks.

Thank you, so much for your answers. That helps settle my heart. I’m very hopeful. We have 4 beautiful and healthy babies. So, when we lost ours, last month, we were heartbroken as we’ve been blessed to never have dealt with issues, before. So, this is all new territory, for us. Hopeful for this rainbow baby, number 5.
