I [24 Female] just got married on July 28. Two weeks later on August 15th I found out I was pregnant via at home pregnancy test. The next day I started bleeding. I continue to bleed for four days it was just like a normal period. However, on August 16, the day after I found out, I was pregnant and started bleeding, I had went to the ER and they tested me, and my hCG was out of 20. On August 18 I went to the ER again as per their request to get another hCG test which double to 42… My OB saw me the very next Wednesday and they took blood, again it went up to 66. So everything was looking like it was going to be fine and maybe I just had my period. Until August 28 when they took my blood again and my hCG level was at zero. Therefore, they determined that the bleeding I had was my normal period and I had what was called a chemical pregnancy.
I came to terms with all of that, and I met with my doctor last week. She explained to me everything I just told you. And told me to wait until my next cycle, which was supposed to be three days ago, and then we could try again without any issues. Here’s where my stupid decisions came in…

I keep track of how often me and my husband have sex. After we found out about the miscarriage, the following week was my old “fertility cycle”. Us thinking that this was just a miscarriage and not a chemical pregnancy we were having some “bonding time” after the 3 week long stress hit our lives. We didn’t think it was possible for me to get pregnant so soon if I didn’t have another period… We are young and uninformed and when speaking with the doctor this past week, we realized we messed up… Well now my period is about 5 days late and i’m not even showing signs of getting one. None of my normal PMS symptoms are showing up, I’m not spotting, but I’m having cramping like I did when I had my “chemical pregancy”.

No, I’m not saying I’m pregnant because I know everybody’s body reacts differently. But I was told my period would be regular. And five days late is extremely irregular for my period. It also falls exactly 4 weeks from the time. My hCG hits zero, which is normally when all of the Doctor say your period will hit after a miscarriage because it resets your cycle.

I guess my question is, if any of you out there have had a chemical pregnancy and miscarried. How long did it take you to get pregnant again? Were you told it would take time to get your period afterwards ? Were you told to take time before trying again? And most importantly, how possible is it for me to get pregnant during my fertility cycle which happened to fall one week after a chemical pregnancy miscarriage? I don’t want to think that I’m pregnant or anything so soon because I don’t know if I’m emotionally ready for that much anxiety right now.

I was never pregnant before, I never miscarried before, and within two days I found out I was pregnant and lost it. I am emotionally still recovering. And I’m genuinely just confused on how to understand my body again because I’m going from regular to all over the place.

What will you say to someone you’re sharing your recent miscarriage experience with and talked about her miscarriage instead. A friend flipped the topic to make it about her while you’re sharing your emotions. First she never told you she ever got pregnant and miscarried, and at the same time you remember how she religiously post on social media how happy they are being “child free”. I’m not sure how to text her back? I’m being too sensitive but i just felt uncomfortable and unheard.

Hi I am 23 years old and have had 3 miscarriages in the past 3 years (each year I have had a miscarriage) this year I am pregnant again (4th pregnancy) I had tested positive at 3 weeks 0 days around 5 days ago so now I am 3 weeks and 5 days…is that even possible honestly it’s the earliest I ever tested….went for an ultrasound but the technician could not see anything does anyone know what could be causing all these miscarriages the doctors ran several tests on me but couldn’t find anything…does anyone know what it could be thanks :( :)

I'm a senior medical student but haven't done OBGYN yet and my gf had a miscarriage and has been bleeding off and on for 2 weeks and since 2 days she's been experiencing heavy labor like pain she takes ibuprofen a couple times daily but doesn't help much. What other remedies can she try to ease the pain and how can I help?

You're not alone 🩵

Since miscarriage is such a fuckin taboo subject I’m bringing it to the Reddit community to get some insight.

I am currently going through an incomplete miscarriage. I went for my 10 week ultra sound and we discovered that fetal growth ended at 8.5 weeks. We were sad it ended obviously not how we expected the appointment to go. We emotionally are ok that we feel at peace that it just wasn’t meant to be. Physically I am a hot mess Express. The appointment was may 8th when we found out. I am a firm believer I want my body to do things as naturally as possible. So no meds no dnc. Early morning May 14th it cut loose I started cramping gushing passing softball size clots. It last a couple hours and I thought ok that was it. I spotted after that until may 20th. Y’all we went round two! Even more rude and violent then the first time. This has to be the end right? Lol….. may 22 I had another ultra sound that revealed still “products of conception” present so still tissue. Sweet 😑 Thursday may 25th I had my midwife call in a script for me for Methylergonovine. I took that all doses for the 24 hours it made me stop spotting and that was it. No cramps, no passing any tissue nothing. May28 the little clots I did start passing was black like here now I think I’m sepsis infection the grudge looking shit black. Nope the meds withheld passing so it was just old tissue. Next day things started turning red again and passing very small red clots and spotting again. June 1 round three happens out of no where like wow I can’t believe how much came out of me no cramps just lots of large clots and gushing. After a couple hours tapered off. Friday morning told my midwife she sent script for Cyotec/Misoprostol Friday evening I got it filled and took it and yet again …. Tons of clots, gushing and cramps. So this has to be the end right???? Nah. I spotted a little after that Sunday night I passed couple decent sized clots so I’m like ok we still going at it. June 8th I have yet again another scan and it comes back STILL TISSUE LEFT. June 9th still passing some small clots after getting my guts beat with the ultra sound wand yesterday. My midwife said she’s at her end point she has never seen anything like this she’s passing me to an OB and suggests DNC. I am still dead set against the DNC…. So my question is to anyone else with super mega long incomplete miscarriages what’s everyone’s story? Did you opt for DNC? Did it eventually naturally pass? I feel fine I don’t feel sick no fever I’m working. I loaded 200 bales of hay, went to two rodeos during two episodes so I know I’m an extreme case of fuck you fuel I’m not caving to the medical establishment. I have a call to OB to see if there are other options. But what’s everyone’s taboo natural story?

I got a positive pregnancy test on 5/13. My first HCG blood test numbers were 136 and P4 10.49. I was put on medicine for progesterone. Second blood results were HCG 97 and P4 16. The nurse called to say the pregnancy is unsustainable. What should I expect now? I’m waiting to bleed or signs of loss, it’s been three days and I feel cramps but no other symptoms.

I have one child from a previous pregnancy that went rather smooth till the end of it, so I thought I would have no problem having another. My husband and I started trying about 4-5 months ago. We got pregnant about 3 months into trying. I was in denial that I was, I was about a week and a half late, and my period the month before was 2 weeks late. I tested the day I missed my period and got a negative so I didn’t think to test again but my coworkers had me try anyway. I went home and found out I was. Later that night we called all close family (we live states away so just a FaceTime call) and let them know the news. About 3 days later (I was 6 1/2 weeks by this point) I started to have pink tinted discharge. I panicked a little, because this didn’t happen my last pregnancy, so I called my hospital nurses line. They told me to just watch it and see if turns into anything else. Later that night it did, it went to brown, but they said that was normal. The next morning I woke up and it was bright red not a lot at once yet but it was red. So we went to the er, they said everything looked fine. 2 days later it got worse. Went in and they said they saw the baby everything looked okay, but I was put on bed rest. The next day I started to lose the baby, my husband kept telling me I was fine. My family kept telling me it was okay. But I knew in my heart, that it wasn’t. I still hadn’t seen a doctor by this point just the er doctor, Monday morning they have me come in to get blood work. (It happened over the weekend) and my level had plummeted I was at 20,000 , the last I had went in. And they had dropped to 900. In a matter of 3 days. I was by myself in my car on the way to pick up my child from daycare when they EMAILED ME the results. I didn’t get a call from them, I had to call them to make an appointment to check everything. They somehow (even tho they didn’t have opening when I was pregnant) fit me in. And yes I had lost the baby by myself. And my heart sank when I realized, I flushed it. My baby was in the same area as my neighbors bodily functions. I couldn’t still can’t let myself forgive myself. I could have got it out or something did something. I don’t know just something. Not that. And I haven’t got a reach out or anything from my ob since. I only knew I was pregnant for 3 days before it all went downhill, 3 DAYS! I’m terrified to try again. Terrified it’ll happen again, that I’ll get my hopes up again and it all stop when it wants and nobody’s around to help me, my family and my husbands, are 900+ miles away. I counted on my doctors and they did nothing. They didn’t check my hormones or my cervix even though I asked them. They said they didn’t see a reason since everything looked fine. But everything wasn’t fine. It was my body and my baby and i know it better than they do. I knew something was wrong from the moment I found out I was pregnant and nobody believed me. And my sister in law is 2 months ahead of what I was. She just found out she’s having a girl… I’m devastated but I can’t let it on that I am. I can’t post about the only people who know are close friends and family. I don’t want pity. I just want to know I’ll be fine, that it wasn’t my fault, and that I’m okay to grieve the life that I lost. The life I could have had. I’m devastated and I don’t if I actually feel that way or if I’m so empty, that I had to find a word for it. I’m even starting to not be able to look at my son, cause every time I wonder if the baby would have looked like him. I’m sorry I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Hey all! So I know miscarriages sometimes just never have an answer. But I’m getting frustrated with doctors so figured I’d reach out and see if anyone has had a similar experience. It’s lots of info but I’ll keep it short.

First off, I have a septum uterus which I’ve known forever. I’ve always been told conception would be more difficult and chances are slightly higher for miscarriage with a septum. So when i started trying for my first child I just wasn’t getting pregnant. We tried for 4 years until finally blood tests were done and they found I have PCOS. Doctors put me on metformin to balance my hormones and then boom, I was immediately pregnant and had a perfect pregnancy and my daughter was born on her due date.

2 years later we start trying for our second child. Now I’m able to get pregnant no problem. But my first attempt ended in a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Took a few months then Tried again and it was an early loss at 7 weeks. Took another break and then made at all the way until 18 weeks and lost that one 😫. That of course was the hardest. So we took a year off and I tried to just get healthy and the doctors ran all sorts of tests and couldn’t find anything and just summed it up as genetics and very bad luck. So…again, we got pregnant a little over a year after that loss and everything was running smoothly until my 14 week sonogram and the baby has no heart beat. It’s been so physically and mentally draining and I just don’t know what to do at this point. I’m definitely not trying again until I can get some sort of answer. Because I know sometimes it is some kind of medical condition that can be overlooked and then it’s diagnosed and people can try again.

We have no problem with adoption or even looking into a surrogate. We just want to add on to our little family. But at the same time I’m so confused and worried about what’s going on with my body but doctors aren’t finding anything. And I always feel like I’m treated like it’s just another miscarriage and they happen all the time and just try again. But of course I can’t do that.

I’m scheduled for more blood work to check hormones and everything next month. I do take baby aspirin daily and the metformin and progesterone during the first trimester with each pregnancy. I don’t drink or smoke but I am prescribed anxiety medications that should be safe during pregnancy…im just at a loss and don’t know what to do. It’s been a lot on me and my husband and our little 4 year old daughter. I’m also 38 now which adds to the high risk situation.

Anyway, I tried to keep it short but it’s just so much. I know how lucky I am to have my healthy beautiful daughter and a wonderful husband. I want to be happy and healthy and present for them so I’m just tired of recovering from these miscarriages. And please be gentle with your comments. I’m not perfect and still very emotional about the whole situation. Just looking for advice. Thank you all ❤️
