1st Trimester

How far along am I???

On May 10th I had a BFP. I only ever took one test.

On May 18th I miscarried. On the 5th day I was tested and my levels were normal (meaning miscarriage complete).

Around June 1st ? 4th I took a pregnancy test, it said negative.

On June 16th and 17th I took 4 pregnancy tests all said positive J

Because the ?early indicator? tests are so sensitive and the instructions said you such and such % tested positive when not pregnant, I made my husband buy a different set of tests that were not early indicators.  Those said positive too!

My cycle never returned between the m/c and the positive test.

I am trying to figure out, before my 1st check-in with the doctor which is not until mid-July, ho far along I am most likely.

Any help in trying to figure this out based on this information?

*I should note. I was randomly taking tests (dates noted above) while waiting for my cycle to return because we were having sex and I was going to events like weddings etc. I did not want to be drinking if I were pregnant so prior to these events I randomly took tests.

  • I had a similar situation and I'm almost 6 weeks. However, since you got a positive a few days later, you might be a week or so behind. Will your doctor do a dating ultrasound?

    It must be so frustrating to not have an EDD. I was lucky enough to have a period after my chemical pg, so that's the date I'm using to calculate my due date.

  • My guess would be 4 or 5 weeks. Did you ask your Dr. about doing a dating u/s and/or checking your betas?  Most Dr's advise waiting 1-3 cycles before TTC again after a m/c and if you get pregnant again before your next AF arrives, they typically would do one or both of those things.  Every Dr. is different though.

    6/23/18 BFP EDD 3/4/19 

  • I was told to wait one cycle, obviously didn't listen but never thought I would get pregnant in between waiting for AF to return. Anyhow, I am thrilled.

    I did ask my OBs office to bring me in and they won't. They said I am not high risk and that they will bring me in around when they think I am 8 weeks, so mid-July.

    I am going to call again this week bc mentally it is tough. I want to know I am 100% pregnant AND what all my levels are to make sure they are in a good range.

    You usually ovulate 2 weeks after a Miscarriage as long as your levels have returned to normal

    I would call in and ask to have your hcg done, I don't see why they couldn't do that. I am going to say your likely 3-4 weeks.  I hope you find out some answers soon :)


  • You are probably 4ish weeks.  If you went in now, they won't be able to tell you anything.  If you go in after 7 weeks, there is enough to see to get an accurate measurement. 

    I get that you are stressed.  However, that's not a valid reason to bug your doctors office about coming in earlier after they've told you to come in at 8 weeks.   Don't be that patient.  You aren't having ANY problems at all, there is no reason to see you.  /fin
