Pregnant after a Loss

Don't "officially" belong here yet but need some insight


So long story short... I was about 7-8 weeks pregnant when I had my 1st D&C on 4/20 bc of a mmc followed by my 2nd on 4/23 bc of remaining tissue.  My beta was taken on 5/8 and it was 144 and then repeated on 5/14 and it was 41. On Saturday 5/18 I started having brown cm similar to the implantation bleeding I had with my last pregnancy but figured it was AF. I have  POAS everyday but BFN and no AF yet. Spotting turned bright red after BDing yesterday but has tapered off again. Today is Day 3 of real spotting and it is rusty red to brown. I just POAS again and there was a faintest of faint line on FRER. I don't know what to think... Advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! Thanks!!!!

  • I would retest in the AM with FMU. If you get a positive I would call my Dr. for betas.

    GL and I hope you get good news tomorrow!

    Your dates don't seem right to me either.  Did you have your beta's drawn in May or April?  Regardless the PP's gave great advise.  POAS with FMU until you get a solid positive or AF.  If you keep getting positives call your doc.  Good luck!

  • I'm confused by the dates as well!  But as other PP's said, wait until you have FMU and poas again.  Good luck.

  • Not to dampen any excitement, but the brown cm isn't uncommon after a D&C... at least I had it anyways.

    I agree with PP's to wait til tomorrow and test with FMU. I would also call your doc and ask for another beta just to see if you're seeing some residual hCG or if it's new.

    GOOD LUCK, I hope you get your BFP for SURE. But only time will tell.

  • My dates are right. My d&c was 4/20&4/23. Betas were not drawn until 5/8 (144) and 5/14 (41). I took another test with FMU and still the same faint line and digital is BFN... I am thinking it is just a weird AF because its the first one after D&C. Thanks for your advice ladies. :) hope to be part of this board soon.

    That doesn't make sense - your betas drawn prior to your d&c have no bearing on whether you are pregnant now.  If your d&c was at the end of April and your betas were drawn 1 week prior, I don't see the relevance.  Also, were you cleared to have sex immediately post d&c?  I'd probably chalk this up to wacky post m/c cycle :(

  • LOL! I am sorry! Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't understand why everyone thought my dates were wrong. My betas were drawn 5/8 and 5/14 and I started spotting 5/18. Hard month and not getting a whole lot of sleep. I was cleared to have sex 2 weeks after the D&C. You are right it probably is just a wacky cycle. Thanks! =)
