Hi there and welcome to our community. I'm so sorry for your loss, and we have a great support system in TTCAL (trying to conceive after loss). However, it is against TOU to ask if you are pregnant, even in a roundabout way. Also, we discourage one-off posts like this, and welcome you to post in our newbie thread. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12737623/newbie-intro-w-o-12-3#latest
I have read these boards over and over, and I feel like they seem to be a great support system...so I am joining in.
I just had a miscarriage (6 weeks? Not sure) a day away from my first appointment. That morning, I felt like I should take a pregnancy test. I noticed the line didn't seem as dark a few days before...but I have been told they all have different amounts of dye. So I took a regular test and a digital. I had both and I figured "I'm pregnant. I won't need these anymore anyways". I got two negatives. I called my husband crying my eyes out and he sped home (almost had a ticket but the cop was understanding...), and we went to the doctor.
The doctor was shocked that I knew I was miscarrying. He was not my usual doctor, but after my exam, he said he was have sworn I was pregnant. It wasn't until he saw his test results that said I was not pregnant that he believed it. He said I knew I was pregnant before my body really did. I miscarried later that night....I didn't realize how badly it would hurt....
We didn't stop TTC the month after, and my period is currently 5 days late. I know that my cycle might be out of whack, but it was like clockwork. I have "felt pregnant" with very sore breast, cramping, pulling, and stronger sense of smell. Every morning I take test...BFN. I am going crazy! Anyone else been there or going through it?
QFP I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. First of all, I've heard that your cycle can be completely out of whack the first cycle after a loss so that's likely what is going on. If you are not tracking ovulation with OPKs and/or BBT then you may not be late at all but just ovulated later than normal.
Second, we do not do one-off posts like this because if we all posted our own thread when we had a question, the board would quickly get very cluttered.
Third, it is against the site's TOU (terms of use) to ask if you are pregnant, even in a roundabout way.
I would suggest you join in on the weekly TTCAL threads or the daily threads depending on where you are in your cycle

JackandAJ Wait... so you were 6 weeks PG, and suddenly just decided to take another test cause you thought you were going to lose it and immediately noticed it was gone? Cause HCG doesn't work like that... so I'm confused... Also, were you not advised by your doctor to abstain from TTCAL for 1-3 cycles following your loss, as is standard procedure? Truthfully, if you did experience a loss, the only normal after a MC is that there is no normal. It can take your body 6-12 months to go back to a 'new' normal after MC. I highly HIGHLY recommend BBT after a MC to know what you body is doing and reduce stress. Additionally, after a MC your HCG can take a while to drop, which is oftentimes why they make you take betas regularly until it drops to 0 / below 5. If you did not do this, you have no way to know if you would take a test now if it were to be positive from the HCG from your previous MC or from a new PG. (although you say you're getting negatives, so I'm guessing your HCG was tracked down before now?)
Anyway, your whole post just confuses me... so I'm not sure if you're anxious and didn't explain clearly, or if you have no idea what you're doing?
