Pregnancy Immediately following Miscarriage

Akennell

my husband and I had an "Oops" (it was mostly him) After I just had my miscarriage a week and a half ago! Please tell me my chances of getting pregnant are Slim to none so I can quit stressing about another miscarriage. We are happy to Wait a few more months before trying again. And I'm supposed to go back to the doctor this week to check and make sure my Levels are going back down. I am feeling Very Mad at myself!!!

Depending on the type of MC you had and how far along you were, were you even cleared to BD yet?  If not, you risk infection and all types of other bad things. If it was just a CP then you didn't have to wait so no prob with BD.
Do you temp? What day do you usually O? Watch your chart to see. 

Also... we are not google. This sorta feels like a drive-by wave your possible PG right in our faces. If you are interested in joining us, please jump in and participate on the weekly threads. If not, please don't post one-offs like this as it can be very upsetting to see these types of messages.

I'm sorry I didn't have anyone else to Ask.

@dpjennifer was much nicer in her response as I would have been if I were the first to come upon this thread.  She must be having a much better day than me. Call a doctor instead of posting on this board.  You have probably just ruined the day for a bunch of us that have been trying very hard with no success after a loss/losses while you had an "oops".  

But I have heard that if you sleep with your head facing north in your bed accompanied by 2 siamese cats and one hamster (try to keep them separated) then you will most definitely not have a miscarriage.  Oh, and the cats need to be wearing bells while the hamster needs to be in a tuxedo.

Yeah I also thought @dpjennifer was really nice here.

Sorry to all of you having a bad TTCAL day.  
We know it's bad when you're calling ME nice in my response!

I am sorry ladies. My Hospital is taking a long time getting back to me on all my questions. I did not mean to make you upset. I was actually just wondering if it was Possible to get pregnant immediately after a Miscarriage. I don't know who else to ask besides my doctors who I have already called. They have had a hard time keeping up with patients the last few months. Anyway, I'm still learning what all the Abreviations mean and what is happening with my body since this is my first miscarriage. I had a Missed miscarriage and No D&E or D&C. I stopped bleeding within the week. That's really All I know. We are waiting for my levels to go back to normal and I am hoping this doesn't mess things up. That was really my Question. I have a Dr appointment coming up so I will talk to him about it then too since he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Sorry for all the Pain I might have caused but I am not trying to hurt anyone and I am praying for you Girls. God bless!

OK, let us see... it IS possible to get PG right after a MC. There really is a lot that factors into it though. So, privacy questions time... how far along was your MC? For example, if you had more of a chemical pregnancy (CP) and were only 5 weeks or so along, then often the HCG levels go down fairly quickly and most doctors give the green light to start TTCAL right away. With it being a week and a half since your loss (count the first full day of bleeding as CD 1), IF you have a 28 day cycle where you O on day 14, then theoretically you could become PG.
However, if you have a longer cycle (for example, I O on day 20), it would be highly unlikely to be PG like 10 days into a cycle.

Alternatively, if you were further along in your MC (7+ weeks, saw heartbeat, etc.) usually they make you wait until after the first cycle to try again. (If you have a D&E/D&C you're not supposed to even BD until 2 weeks later after you're cleared from surgery). Also, if you were further along in your PG before you miscarried, you could have higher levels of hcg, and thus can get positive PG tests that are a result of hcg from your MC in your system (which totally sucks). 

How far along were you? Do you know what your latest hcg level was?

I think you might still have HCG in your system.  I don't think you can O until it's all out of there and then in  2 weeks maybe you'll O.

I shouldn't have taken out my bad day on you...sorry.

But yah, you probably still have HCG in your system. 1.5 weeks after a MC would have you Oing at CD11ish. That's pretty early.  If you're worried about getting KU then use protection or abstain.

Everyone's body is different. But I am going to share with you, my experience and timeline of events.  
Naturally miscarried on Saturday, July 22nd. My HCG levels were checked on the following dates:
Monday, July 28th
Thursday the 31st
Monday, August the 4th. (Final check)
HCG levels went down to 2 which the doctors said the goal was under 3.
My OBGYN did an exam on August 4th and cleared us to start trying she said after 2 weeks based on how everything looked inside and down there.
However I stopped bleeding on August the 5th and knew my body was ovulating (based on my normal symptoms - confirmed with opk tests) on the 7th-8th so we baby danced.
I don't know if it worked but I'll test on Saturday. By then I'll be 12dpo.

Gosh people are hypersensitive! Stay nice guys. We've all been through the same thing here anyway, no need to add any more negativity. Obviously it was not her intention to offend anyone. But for world peace adding a TW will do good.

Going back, I'd say too soon to get pregnant but best to wait and see!

@Sparklingjewel Unfortunately when you've been on these boards for awhile you see lots of people "Drive-by" and post all sorts of things: pictures of positive pregnancy tests, their almost definite symptoms, etc... 
For some of the women on this board who have been trying for years to get a BFP after their loss that kind of behavior can be super hurtful and triggering. As the OP was new, no one knew her backstory. In general this community is very welcoming to people who come in, read around for awhile to find out etiquette, then join discussions. 

Sparklingjewel

Thanks for the warning, i am fairly new as well and just caught off-guard with the reactions, im just here to contribute positively, hoping people are welcoming.
Am in no position to judge anyone as a drive-by. They may be reading regularly and fairly new simply because they only had reason to join recently. That said, suggesting to put a TW would have been an easy fix net of the harshness.

@Sparklingjewel youve popped into about nine boards and left comments and no one has any clue who you are. I don't think a drive-by telling the group how to respond to thread is the way to go about joining the group. Perhaps an intro rather than random posts all over every thread is a better approach. And as @leahcimmichael suggested,  read the ettiquette.

I conceived my daughter on the heels of a MC. She is 2 yrs old now & amazing. I hope it all works out for you.
