is it possible i have fallen pregnant?

[lynsey81]

hi all, i have 2 healthy little boys.  i recently miscarried.  i found out on a saturday i was pregnant 2 days before my period was due.  my doc confirmed this on the  monday.  on the wednesday i went figure skating (my docs said it was fine to carry on with this) later that afternoon i lost what my mid-wife and doc thought was some of my plug when i went to the toilet.  that night me and my partner had sex.  on thursday the next day at tea-time i started bleeding.  i lost the baby, my doc did a urine test for hcg levels a few days into my bleeding which confirmed this.  but i only bled for 5 days and it was light bleeding.   is there any chance i could have fallen pregnant from that night i had sex???, as i didnt know that day was the day i had lost my baby.  and my doc said i could count this more like a period as it was so early and only light bleeding, so could i be fertile in abut 14 days???

Thank you ladies for your advise and support.  do ovulate normally around 14 days into my cycle i am always pretty regular, and if i count 14days from the day of bleeding from my m/c for when i will be ovulating my partner and i are going to miss it this time around.  it would be about now i think and he isnt here.  he isnt here next week either as he is off again for another course :(  so to many other couples it may seem like plenty of time until start of april but not for us, he will hardly be home at all now as he is preparing to go :(

i just wish he was here so we could try again straight away x

I am so sorry for your loss.  Please don't feel alone because the ladies here are amazing and will definitely help you.  From what I understand, the day of bleeding for a natural miscarriage is similar to your period, so it is like cycle day 1.  Most women typically ovulate about 14 days into their cycle, so you would have been most fertile @ 2 weeks after your miscarriage if you were having a normal cycle.  I hope this helps, and again I am so sorry for your loss.

Please don't feel as if you have to grieve on your own.  We have all been there.  This is a loving supportive community.  I really don't know what the chances of becoming pg so soon, especially while you were still carrying the baby.  I too have read that you are supposed to be more fertile after a m/c.  But I wouldn't expect to O until after the loss of the baby.  It's sounds like you are pretty fertile, so you may still have plenty of time before April.

Best of luck to you!

aww well hopefully everything will go to plan for you this time around and i wish you all the best.

it is hard for me and my partner cos of his job.  like he is away this week with work, and he is off on tour at the start of april for 6 months so we dont have the time really to try again straight away as we'd like.  so that makes me fel worse and i feel like i have to grieve on my own :(

Thanks, it has been difficult and we want to try again as soon as possible, I've found a lot of support here.
I would wait and take a p/g test or you could ask your doc for a blood test, that is a lot more accurate, it wouldn't be unheard of if you are p/g again.
Take care and let me know what you find out.

oh and thank you for your offer of support natalie, i hope you start to feel better soon x

yes i am the same as you, i dont know how fertile you are after m/c.  but after reading a lot on the net i have come to the conclusion that you are more fertile after m/c.  and i am quite fertile normally aswell.

what i am confused about though is the night my partner and i had sex, earlier that day my baby had come away from me (we were unaware that is what had happened to me though as docs thought it was just some of my plug at the time)  ive read that in order for that to have happened my baby must have died a couple of days before and almost straight away then pregnancy tests at docs and hospital were negative.  

if my levels were already so low they were saying i was no longer pregnant, i dont know if there is a chance i have concieved again that evening, without realising i wasnt still pregnant that night?

my symptoms disappeared but now a few of them have been creeping back, is that normal?

Hi, I am sorry for you loss. I also had a m/c this month. I was 16w5d so I really thought everything was fine. Unfortunately I did lose the baby though. I don't know if you could get pregnant so quickly but in reading many of the entries, right after a m/c a woman may be very fertile. Since you had not lost the baby yer, I don't know if it is possible to get p/g at that point. Sorry I'm not much help but I wanted to say if you need to talk I'm here. Just recently going through a m/c I know it is really hard sometimes.

also i fell pregnant the first month my partner and i tried with our two boys.  this time i fell by accident.  my partner is in the forces and we only had sex the once that month has he had been away with work, so im guessing i am quite fertile!  what are my chances of being pregnant from the night we had sex on my question above?  and could i fall again before my period comes back to normal?  if so when should i have sex?
