Pregnant after a Loss

BFP a month after D&C?

Hello.  I'm cautiously new here.  I was a member of the December 2011 Moms but sadly, I miscarried at 15 weeks on June 20th.  It was our first pregnancy and first loss and it's been so tough.  But, we've found a lot of strength in our faith and were not wanting to wait long before TTC again.

It's now been nearly 5 weeks since our MC and D&C and still no AF.  And, on top of that, I've gotten three BFP test and one negative this week.  I know I can still have hormones related to our last pregnancy so I'm not exactly sure what to do... our doctor told us to wait one cycle before TTC but admittedly we weren't that careful.  And now, I'm torn between being excited that I may actually be pregnant, anxious because if I am pregnant can my body really handle it and also cautious that it may just be left over hormones.

In summary, I'm a mess.  And, I don't know what board to post on so I'm sorry if this is the wrong one.  I was hoping there would be someone on this board that has experienced something similar?

  • The very best thing to do is call your Dr, tell them you've gotten the BFPs and it's been 5 weeks since your D&C and ask them to draw bloodwork and test your hcg levels....you'll have to have a repeat hcg level done 2 days later and if the numbers double in that time chances are it's a new pregnancy.

    GL!
