Pregnant after a Loss

A dirty lurker comes out (Intro and freak out inside)

Hello ladies,

 I can't believe that I am finally on this board. I did post a little with another name, but I can't remember it. Or the password. In any case, I was mostly a lurker because I was not well enough to give support until relatively recently, and lurking here and on TTCAL helped me a lot. Here is my story:

 My husband and I were putting off having babies, so I had Mirena for a little over 3 years. I was lucky and I lost my period. At a routing gyno appt. in April 2011 they noticed that my strings were no longer sticking out, so they removed my Mirena. I was pretty busy at the time and I didn't think of birth control. Sometime in late May I noticed that my boobs hurt like a mother and I had two days of spotting that quickly went away. On Memorial Day I got a very unexpected BFP. I had no clue how far along I was because I did not get a period.  

My husband and I were excited but nervous. A very close friend of mine had gone through two losses (one m/mc one due to trisonomy 18), so I was aware that something could go wrong, but I was still all puppies and rainbows and planning out my pregnant summer wardrobe. My husband announced it on Facebook before my pee stick was dry. At our first ultrasound on June 28, I found out that the baby died around 9 weeks. We were devastated. I had a D & C the next day. 

It took us until November to try again, and today at 13 DPO I got a BFP through a faint line on my Wondfo. I am freaking out.

I have no symptoms. None at all. Last time my boobies were sore, I was peeing a lot, and was annoyingly nauseated every afternoon. I may just pinch the crap out of my nipples so at least I can say that they're sore and I'll feel better.

 I have slight brown spotting this time around as well. It something that my periods are doing after my D & C, about 5 days before CD1 I will start spotting brown. Usually at 13 DPO I'm spotting brown with clots. The only reason I tested today was because my spotting slowed down. 

So, that's it. I hope we all get to know each other these next 9 months. Good luck to all of you!

  • First of all, I am so sorry for your loss....I too had a "missed m/c" that was found out around 9 weeks and a D&C the next day...it sucked.

    BUT, I am so happy that you are able to join this board! I too am "newly pregnant" and totally nervous/happy/scared. A big welcome to you!

  • Welcome and congrats! I didn't start getting symptoms until 5.5-6w, so it's not out of the ordinary to not have any this early. Every pg is different. I hope this is your sticky baby!

  • Hopefully, this helps you because knowing that someone else has had the exact same thing happen as me is helpful to me. I'm 5w4d, and had brown spotting 15 DPO for 3 days, it stopped and I have been have blood work done every other day since the spotting started and the Dr.s exact words were that my HcG is going up nicely.  Everything I have read about brown spotting says its not much to worry about because brown=old blood and if you have a sensitive cervix there are a ton of things that could cause a small amount of bleeding (have a BM, intercourse, lifting, being dehydrated, yeast infection, etc.)
