Early MC

Hi

I am currently experiencing my first MC. I found out i was preg with a very faint line on friday night which took the full 5 mins to come in.
Then i took tests for the next couple of days and they were just as faint. then last night i started spotting and now i have full blown AF with clots..........So i was only preg for a short time. the worst of it all for me was it has taken 12months to get preg at all after Depo.

Although i kinda had that sense that something wasnt right with no symptons or the tests not getting darker as they really should with HCG getting higher etc...........

Because its just a late AF basically i gather i dont really need to race out and get any D&C (unless bleeding lasts longer than 5 days) so im just letting it run its course like its a normal AF and go back to charting

One question i do have is i took my temp this morning and its still elevated.........will this drop over the next couple of day?
And did anyone do another preg test a few days after MC just to double check that by some miracle you might still be preg............everyone keeps telling me too but honestly what would the chances be?

Awwwww.... I had the same thing except I hadn't tested, but the clots are a big giveaway aren't they. I bled for two whole weeks and the next cycle (which was 7 weeks later) I bled for another two weeks. At that time I checked things with my GP and he said just to let things do their own course as it's a lot easier on the body. You'll be inspired to know that I didn't have another cycle after that, well not for over 9mos anyway

As for temps and retesting, while there is a small possibility that you have lost 'only' a twin, I think the chances are reasonably high that while you are still bleeding, your hormone levels may be elevated enough to give a false positive. Your temps may well do the same thing... stay up for a while until your hormones settle.

It may pay to read through some of the other threads on m/c's, if you're in the right frame of mind. Be aware that you will probably experience the "baby blues" just like you did when you had your other kids... in about 3 days from now. Your hormones will drop off in a similar fashion to when you gave birth.

LOL Absolutely!! I miss wine - bought a bottle while out shopping today because I don't mind having the odd glass when bf.... which I intend to start soon!

Hope the m/c comes away quickly and quietly for you.

Aww Hun, Im sorry to hear this news All your questions are pretty much answered, but in regards to temping, they will remain high until all the HCG is gone, which can take up to a week maybe more depending on where they were to start.

I had a D&C and a week later my HCG levels were still at 30, so would have shown positive HPT.

Im thinking of you hun

Hugs Chickielou!!

Fingers crossed for you for the next round - although if you end up like me and preg straight away you will freak out!!
My cycle was held up by 2 weeks (well really only 1 given I had 5wk cycles) But its common to be held up from anything from 1-4 weeks.

My dr told me to me come in if I bled for more than a week (apparently thats not a good sign). Also if you are having a scan to confirm everything has done what it needed to - make sure its within 2 wks of the MC as the scan people charge you full price after that date.

Hugs

Well i did a HPT today and there was no line at all and my bleeding has completely stopped..... so my mc journey would appear to be a lucky short one and not dragged out (started monday night and finished today Thursday)

The only thing i have been getting is a little pinching pain in the centre of my uterus. This is probably things going back to their rightful place i would assume

I will brace myself for a painful OV

sorry Kelly about your double wammy!! Is there some family history of stuff since you had ashleigh early also? would this be something that affects you concieving and sustaining also? Good luck with the bloods, hope it comes back with something that is easily fixed.

I hope my lack of wanting bloods or scans doesnt come back on me. If i was further along i would have gone and got these but because of how early i was im confident that nature is just doing it thing and i dont need to intervene.........I really hope my niaevity doesnt come back to bite me. but this is the way i have chosen to let this one go so will have no one to blame but me if it does...lol

Thanks Aliasmum

That thread was last month, which doesnt seem that long ago, but ages ago IYKWIM.......cos since then im BFP again and time around im getting stronger symptoms and my POAS were pos (but very very faint) at 8DPO(unlike last month my POAS were only just showing up 15 DPO), and i have been POAS every day and they are stronger and stronger every day........Im now about where i was when i MCed last month and im getting definite symptoms unlike last month(and a very dark pos line on POAS)..........I am very nervous to say the least, but ive decided to take the approach of seeing a MW next week, and getting bloods done the week after that and when im 8 weeks getting a scan done then. Trying not to get my hopes up is the hardest thing!!

Everyone on here was great last month!! really helped me through it.........

hey milly

I concieved after one cycle and I know I must of ovulated earlier than the normal 14 day

I have unfortunately had a mc, confirmed last Tuesday .
It was a complete mc, as they put it, so I did not need a DnC.
The bleeding has lasted 3 weeks, so I really don't know how to go about my cycles. I read somehwere that your body can treat a mc as a period.
Was thinking on getting an ovulation test but really don't know?
My doctor told me that we can start trying as soon as I think I'm ready which made me feel more positive.

Hi ladies

just an update and answer to some questions. I had a scan and things are looking good, im suffering from MS etc and dont see any reason why this one wont stick around now

so I managed to concieve straight after my MC. baring in mind mine was an early MC, so my body bled for a little bit longer than AF would and i OVed right bang on time, actually i think day early, i was using OPKs (courtesy of lovely littlestar) and managed to nail it next time around. Not only did i nail it, I also got early implantation so got an early BFP and i personally put that down to having left over progesterone that pushed things along quicker.    

I had my scan the other day and not only was i not put behind with any days due to size etc, i was actually put a day ahead which makes me realise i really did implant very early.......i had a speedy egg.

I was very worried that i would OV later but my MC didnt affect any of my cycle at all

I hope the same happens for you ladies.........getting a BFP early was a bit scary cos i didnt want to get too excited and didnt really tell anyone for a few days just in case i MCed early again, but i kinda knew deep down that it was different this time as it was an early BFP as opposed to the other which was a later BFP faint line. I was 16DPOs when i got my BFP in March, but then i was only 8DPO when i got the same faint line..........

Sorry for the long post, but i also just wanted to add that i have done 25 preg tests since my first one this time around to see if they get stronger and they did.......lol good ol cheap internet tests are great
