? About TCC After M/C

litlthumper · 04-09-2003, 12:24 PM

I posted my ? in pg sisters, but no one has replied. Maybe I was in the wrong place. I found out that I m/c last month. The weird thing about all of it was that I never had any signs that something was wrong. That was my first pg and I was pg w twins from using the clomid. I won't use the clomid the next time around. I think my body needs a rest from chemicals and hormones. I was on the depo shot for 3 years, and as a result, my estrogen levels were all out of whack. Anyway, I was on the patch for bc, but I stopped using it bc it was bothering my skin.
Have any of you out there had a pg after a m/c, and if so, how did you know you were pg the next time around. I feel like I did when I was pg the first time, but since I prob still have pg hormones in my body, I don't think that a pg test will give a good result. Help!!!

I conceived 2 weeks after having a m/c and I didn't really have any symptoms except for I was really moody and my husband suggested that I take a pregnancy test and it came back ++++, it was 8 o clock at night and paged the DR and he told me to come in for a beta the next day ..My betas indicated I was pregnant with a new pregnancy.......while the lab tech took my blood she asked for the date of my last period and I told her I miscarried and never got a period ...I went from pregnancy to pregnancy without having a period and the lab lady told me that she sees alot of women get pregnant after a m/c.I guess the only way they might be able to tell is thru a beta test whether it is a new pregnancy or not.

If you had a miscarriage more than two weeks ago, chances are you no longer have any of the old pregnancy hormones around. Didn't your doctor track them down to zero??? That's standard practice!!! If they don't fall down to zero in a good time period, you could have some serious complications!

Beta levels can take up to 6 weeks to fall down to 0 btw.

After my mc, I still felt pregnant for almost 2 months. They just gradually faded away. I knew I was pregnant after because it was a clomid cycle and I was temping so I knew when to test. I got MS at exactly 4 weeks which was also a big clue. (This was our first cycle trying after mc)
