Pregnant after a loss. Anyone else?
ThePax89

Unfortunately, in early November, I had a miscarriage and somehow got pregnant again without having a period in between. I am ecstatic.
I don't know my due date. I don't know how far along I am. And I'm absolutely terrified as well as so grateful and excited. (Im probably between 3+5 and 5 weeks)
How does it work in terms of monitoring?
When would you push for a 48 hour hcg test? (My midwife doesn't want me coming in for bloodwork for TWO WEEKS).
Any advice is welcome. Thanks, all.

Re: Pregnant after a loss. Anyone else?
Many of us here are PGAL (pregnant after loss). Feel free to join us in the weekly PGAL check-in. You can find the most recent one a few threads down.
Hoping to stay positive!
I also had a loss at the end of September at 9+1 (but baby was only 7+5). I'm now 5+2 (edd 8/6/15 but will find out for sure on the 17th at my first scan) and had my 48 hr blood draw last Thursday and Saturday. Waiting for my results.
I had a much longer post but once posted it disappeared! Long and short of it, my doctor let me do the early blood draws and we'll do weekly ultrasounds from 7 weeks to end of the first trimester, just for peace of mind even though I've only had one loss. It can't hurt to ask your doctor what you can do.
I want to go in to have my progesterone tested ASAP as well as an hcg series but they are saying that it is best to wait 2 weeks. I put a call into my midwife. I can always pregnant cry on the phone if need be
Your loss is real, and hopefully if you insist they will give you the peace of mind of a blood test. Fingers crossed for you!
I just want to be super diligent. Even though I can't prevent anther loss.
I had blood work done at 3 weeks 5 days and 4 weeks.
My levels went from 437 to 1806 in 48 hours. I am thinking I am pregnant with twins. Since they doubled twice in 48 hours.
I was surprised my ob let me get blood work done after only 1 m/c but she is pregnant too so maybe she had a little more compassion.
I had one cycle with no detected ovulation. Second cycle we caught ovulation. About 4 weeks now post first day last period. 2 weeks post ovulation.
I'm hopeful but nervous. I don't feel like I can get comfortable yet. My husband has treated depression and the loss was really hard for him and for me, plus supporting him. But we both wanted to try again. We do have a 1 year old so I know I can carry a little one to term.
Baby Boy
At 34 weeks my baby boy was stillborn and had delivered him September 17 2015 and I'm pregnant again my doctor told me that's fine and after a loss women usually bounce right back with another
I just went for my hcg/progesterone today. I feel slightly better knowing I got the test. Just praying for a sticky babe
