hi ladies its been a while since ive been on here i think i had to try and steer clear of all pregnancy pages for a little while it started to make me depressed , although today i am 9dpo and got my faint positive still very early so im scared im going to go thru what i went thru in january but for anybody who has miscarried im not going to say be patient in waiting for that positive hpt because i was far from that but be positive because it can happen im just hoping this time its a sticky one for me not telling anybody or my children yet until i hit after 12 weeks i wish everybody goodluck and i will keep popping in here
and to each and every one of u xxx

Congratulations hun :) I'm fx'd this bean is a sticky one for you!
I'm 6w3d at the moment and the morning sickness is definitely making me believe that this pregnancy is going well! It's worse each day!

I hope we're both lucky this time! :) good luck xxx

hun i hope this works out for u aswell not sure how far i am just yet but i was surprised to get a positive at only 9dpo to u and please keep us up to date as things progress im glad to hear its going well so far , with one of my other daughters i was lucky enough to not get morning sickness for the first 4 mths but then it hit me hard

Your posts makes me feel better!!!! I had a miscarriage on March and now I am waiting 2 months in order to start TTC again. Your good news made me feel better!
Good Luck and stay in touch.

Hello all. Been on this site for awhile but never posted anything. I'm 23 and TTC #1.

Got pregnant in January and then no heartbeat on the ultrasound on 3/17. Had a D&C the next day.Also when I went in to get a checkup around 7 weeks, they told me the baby was not as big as it should have been.

They told me after the D&C that I had to wait 6 weeks to have sex/use a tampon anything like that. Hubby and I only lasted about 3 weeks. I have been feeling for a week and half now like I should be getting my period soon but nothing is showing up. We only had sex the once but I'm starting to wonder. Don't want to get my hopes up again. I have my follow up appointment next week. Do they routinely check to pregnancy at every gyno appt? Maybe they'll be able to tell me something. I don't want to test and have a positive just because of lingering HCG.

Any thoughts. I appreciate reading all of your comments and knowing I'm not alone in feeling misunderstood and just so sad.

I miscarried at 8 weeks on 3/21. I had heavy bleeding the first few days (day 1 was really bad gushing) and then medium to light flow for about a week more. I did blood work weekly for 3 weeks and my HCG levels went down slowly but surely. These are my approximate levels starting from the date of my MC. 3/21: 8,000 ; 3/24: 900; 3/31: 66; and 4/8: 6. I'm guessing I ovulated around 3/28 because I got my period on 4/10. My PMS symptoms were a little different but in the days leading up to my period, I had a feeling that AF was close. Oh and if you're wondering, as you can see from my HCG levels, you don't have to be down to 0 to ovulate.

We are going to try again. My fertile window is just around the corner!

Hello ladies. I thought I'd give you some hope. After my early miscarriage on the 10th march, I found out Saturday just gone I am pregnant again!! I think ovulation occurred a week later than would normally be the case but everything seems much better this time, thinking I'm around 15dpo ovulation now, getting a nice aray of symptoms and told my doctor yesterday. Now just to wait for the midwife to contact me!
I wish you all well in your journeys!

Barely_there congratulations!!! These are great news! I wish you the best for this pregnancy. Tell me how do you feel? How do you deal with stress? I worry that next time I will be very stressed...

Pmarple, sometimes period after D&C is late. My doctor told me that my period would come a month later and maybe it could be late. Finally it started 29 days after D&C. Also, my doctor told me to start TTC after two periods. I dont know why, but being afraid not to experience a miscarriage again, we dont intercourse at all! I know we overdo it..... as my cousin's doctor told her to start TTC even from the first month after D&C Dont be stressed and in case of a positive test, just enjoy it!
Also, I dont think that during the appointment the doctor would see something. At this stage you should check the hCG levels. Good luck!!!!

Just an update, AF finally came today and I was actually excited to see it. I feel like at least everything is working again and I know where I stand. I know we're supposed to wait two cycles before trying but I guess we'll see what happens this month. Thanks for the kind words ladies.

that' s good Pmarple. AF coming after the D&C is a great relief!
My best wishes for you!
