Q: symptoms after miscarriage
asked by: shadowCAT02 on August 11th, 2008
New User
It all started the end of June when I went to Urgent Care due to strep throat. Upon my visit the doctor talked me into getting my guardsil (excuse my spelling) shot. On July 7th, I was experiencing constipation. I just randomly took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I then bought 5 more tests and they came back positive. I went to the doctor and found out I was 5 weeks pregnant. Beginning July 17th I began to spot, it was very mild and my mom said it came from my pap smear. By July 18th it became a more larger flow. I went to the ER, they said that I needed to rest, this probably happened because I had a vaginal infection (not a std). They said my cervix was still close so I was ok. The next morning, I beginned to clot, I called the ER and they said that I was probably clotting because my bleeding was trying to stop. By that afternoon I was cramping, so I went back to the ER. They said the same thing, that my cervix was closed and took my hcg to check it again at my doctor office. that Monday I went to the ob, she said I wasn't really bleeding alot, that my cervix was still closed. While at work I felt something fall into my sanitary napkin, I went to the bathroom to wipe, and it was gray tissue, which meant it was my baby. Wednesday the bleeding had completely stopped and I went to the doctor for my results, and she said I most likely suffered a miscarriage because my hcg went from 849 to 149.

Now it is almost four weeks after the ordeal. The two weeks I knew I was pregnant my boyfriend and I had alot of unprotected sex. After my two weeks were up after the miscarriage, we been having sex but he has been pulling out and ejaculating on me (sorry if its too much info). I took a test last week just hoping it was positive but it was negative. The last couple of weeks have been rough. I still have sore boobs (which hurt more than when I was pregnant), I use the bathroom more often than usual, I just started getting these headaches, I have random dry spots on my face, I get dizzy sometimes, and still getting nauseous at night. Im confused, Im wondering when these symptoms are going to stop, because my boobs are killing.

Please someone clarify these symptoms. Thank you

Wow! When I read your story because all this just happened to me I wrote a poem about it Ill post it here and then come back a reply to what you were asking


On May 20, 2008 I found out I was going to be a MOM again; scared, confused, in shock but yet so excited. My body's changing, my mind is racing and my heart is loving you already
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
Ultrasounds confirm your life, blood test confirm your life and home pregnancy tests confirm your life
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
Cramps begin, bleeding starts, my mind is so full of scary thoughts. What's wrong, what did I do wrong, what did I say wrong, did I not eat right, did I not take care of myself right
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
I feel alone, your father left, my friends disappeared, my family has gone ashtray. It's just you in my stomach and me
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
June 3, 2008 Ultrasound shows your still there, yet you are not growing, WHY? I quit my second job just so I can rest more so you can have life, I love you so much and you aren't even here yet
June 5, 2008 bleeding still present, cramping still there but you are still hanging on with a heartbeat of 118 bpm, yet you haven't grown, WHY? Is GOD trying to show me something, open my eyes to something, What? Please Lord tell me, I'll do anything just let this baby have a chance of life
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
June 10, 2008 Ultrasound shows you are there helpless and not moving, no heartbeat no life and no movement. The baby that I never got a chance to see, hold, hear cry, kiss your boo-boos, tell you everything is going to be alright has passed on. Although, you are not here I still love you and I hope I get to see you in heaven one day.
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
June 13, 2008 the day came when you had to be removed, driving myself to the hospital and driving myself home, in surgery alone and scared. Maybe your not really dead, maybe the Ultrasound people made a mistake, maybe you were just playing possum. Is this really true, I'm in shock I cant believe you will never have a chance in life. Time to move on back to first job, back to second job, back to two other kids, housework, back to staying strong for the family I do have. Lord, WHEN DO I GRIEVE? Where's your father? Does he care? Does he love you like I do? Do he love me like I love you? Why isn't he here taking care of me after surgery? Why isn't he grieving with me?
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
Time to move on with my life YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN MY LITTLE BABY GIRL/BOY!
Miscarriage June 10, 2008

After this ordeal my life will never be the same.

Ok back to what i was saying- After i had my D&E to have the baby removed on June 13th i have been praying to get pregnant again the doc told me to wait at least two weeks before having sex again but we did it june 15th. But About 2 weeks after losing the baby i all of sudden got sick to my stomach while driving. My mouth was watering so bad I thought it was about to come up. The all my symptoms went away. I got my period exactly 4 weeks after losing the baby like the doc said I would got it July 12 but it was worse than it has ever been. i normally bleed heavy anyway but this was extremely heavy i usually last 4 to 5 days this was 7 days straight. I had sex 7-10, 7-27, 7-31, 8-8 and 8-11. My cycle is usually 34 days which means I would have gotten next period around Aug 14 but here it's aug 19 and nothing. I tried to have sex around the time I would have normally ovulated. i have a few bloating and cramps around the 14th but only lasted about an hour for 1 or 2 days and thats it. I was having really bad headaches, dreams (always have when im preg), breast were feeling very full and heavy, gas and face was breaking out and dry spots. So I understand what ur going through

Could I be pregnant again?
Hi ShadowCAT02, So what happened???? Were you pregnant?? I had a chemical pregnancy, then 6 days later I had unprotected sex with my husband. 3 days after this I had what was like an implant bleed and ever since I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms again eg: headaches, nausea, hot flushes and dizziness. HPT is showing negative, but it could be too early to test. I'm convinced I'm pregnant again but due to the hpt showing negative I can't be 100% sure....... Any thoughts?

I had my period 1-2wks early this month (am irregular) but it has been light but has gone on for 4 days but have not even had 2 use pads or tampons, just pantyliners. I dont know if it could be a period, implantation bleed or miscarriage (have had 2 b4 my 1st child and they were like a period, not light.) Any ideas?

maybebaby3, you could possibly be pregnant because they say you can have periods/light bleeds whilst pregnant. The early miscarriage I had was also like a heavy period. Have you done a HPT?

Maybebaby3, I will do another test Friday. It's killing me not to race out and buy another test now!!! I have spent an absolute fortune on HPTs!!!!! Just talking about it now still only makes me want to buy one though : ) I really should go to the Doctor just to make sure that I expelled everything from the very early miscarriage....... I'm sure I have as I lost all my preg. symptoms straight after.

Let me know how you go when you take your next test! Good luck mate!!! xo

Maybebaby3, just wondering are you getting any increase in cervical mucous? (Not the egg white mucous synonymous with ovulation though.)

Hey maybebaby3, well I caved and bought a couple more after I wrote to you. I didn't get a positive but know I am being silly in testing so early! I swear I see a very very very very very faint line just like I had with both my children..... However not sure if my eyes are playing games on me or not. Will now definitely have to wait 'til friday to test as I only have one left Sad

I know I got increased cervical mucous and discharge in general whilst pregnant with both my kids. Just can't remember if I got it this early on or not. Seems that a lot of women get pregnant in the month after early miscarrige due to high fertility. I'm thinking positive and say we probably are...... here's heaps and HEAPS of baby dust out to you my friend!

You'll be the first to know my results on Friday mate! So I'll talk to you then : )

xxoo

Still only getting what I think is a really really really really faint line... God knows if I'm imagining it. I too am losing hope that I'm pregnant because I figure surely if I did see a line it would progressively get darker each subsequent day I test if I am pregnant.

I went to the Dr this morning and have a referral to get bloods taken. However can't get the actual test done 'til Monday. (Have recently moved to Italy with the fam. and they do things VERY different here. Am super frustrated!!) Don't think I can wait that long so without a doubt I'll prob. go and buy another test.

You see I had sex with hubby on about the 14th and 19th of June. So I figure if I'd fallen pregnant on the 14th then it would surely show by now....shouldn't it???? So now it's a waiting game, much like you for the next few days. I have no idea when my next period is due because ever since I stopped breastfeeding my 8mth old I have only gotten two periods, one on 4 May and the next was my early miscarriage bleed on 9 June (I'd tested positive 3 June, had sex on 23 May).
So my last cycle was tech. 37 days long.

Anyway I would love to be pregnant again, but keep reminding myself not to be greedy. I feel super blessed as it is with two beautiful kids. To be honest it's these full on pregnancy symptoms which are worrying me. If I'm pregnant then the symptoms fit however if I'm not then something is majorly wrong. Maybe I didn't expell all of my last pregnancy or am going through another chemical pregnancy. All these 'What if's' are going through my head and making me crazy. I need to take a chill pill....

So plan is to take another hpt maybe Sun and then go get bloods taken first thing Monday. Regardless a thorough exam at the Dr's is a priority for next week.

Funny how we're being controlled by a little line on a bit of plastic right now isn't it? : ) Well at least we are going through the same thing together! Oh and millions of other hopeful women out there too : )

Will be in touch and here's express posting heaps of that baby dust to you maybebaby3 and all of the other hopefuls out there xxoo

Yeah want3 we have 2 stop worryin but it's so hard isn't it? I did yet another test 2day but no line so i guess i will just have 2 treat this light bleeding as a period. It's been a week and I'm still bleeding. I think that I will have to make an appointment with the doc as I know I have irregular cycles of 3-4wks but a period after 2wks is just weird. Mayb it's something 2 do with stopping breastfeeding. I stopped a couple of months ago after 19months of breast feeding my youngest (a long time i know but she would never take a bottle and the last 6 months was only a morning and a night feed) so mayb it has something 2 do with those hormones. Doc here will prob just say 2 wait and c i bet. I freaked about ectopic pregnancy 2! My husband told me 2 stop freaking about everything but it's easy 4 them 2 say isn't it!?! Anyway more baby dust going your way. Keep me posted on how things develop. xxx
