Miscarriage, DVC, no period yet, +HPT

[hopecase]

I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks on April 30th. On May 5th I had a DVC. I haven't gotten my period yet and took a home pregnancy test yesterday that was positive. Am I pregnant?! Has anyone had this happen to them and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy/birth? I'd love some hopeful stories. It took me 4 years to get pregnant before the baby I lost. Im 33 and my husband and i are dying to have a child!

I am devastated but I'm taking a little comfort in the fact that this time my doctors seem more determined to find out why. I hope there is a light at the end of this long tunnel...its been ALOT! Good luck to you! I hope after all of this sadness both of our dreams will come true!

I am so sorry to hear this. I just had to have a d&c June 10 because the baby never developed. I can imagine how devasting this must be for you because I will feel the same way if it happens to me again too. This is something I already worry about. When I get pregnant again, I won't feel secure until I can see a heartbeat on an ultrasound. It is hard not to worry after this experience. Good luck to you in the future. I hope that you have a happy and healthy pregnancy real soon.

Thanks ladies! Unfortunately when i went to my appointment today the doctor said the baby stopped growing and that I will either miscarry this week or I go back on Monday and they will schedule a dvc. Back to back miscarriages. I was too upset to ask the doctor a lot of questions today but Monday I will try to find out why and ask about what I should do in the future. Just devastating. It took me 4 years to get pregnant with the last one so I never thought it would happen again right away and now this. I can't believe how hard and horrible all of this is

Don't loose hope . I had a miscarriage May 6 2009 and concieved my Son 2 days later (not on purpose) went in for a post miscarriage check up july 8th 2009 (because I noticed I dnt get a period 6-7 weeks later) and sure enough I was 8 weeks along...my numbers wasn't rising like they should but went on to hhave a healthy 7lbs 5 oz 20 inch healthy little man which is now 2 1/2 yrs old :) so stay positive :)

I wouldn't give up either if I were you. In early pregnant it is normal for it to double every 48-72 hours. After the number gets over 1200 it often slows and 72-96 hours is in the normal range. The following website allows you to enter the date, time and results for each beta to see what your double time is. http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/beta_doubling_calculator.php

Good luck and I hope this is a sticky little one.

I went back. They said I'm definitely pregnant and found the sac on the sonogram but said it was too early to tell if this one will stick or not and they repeated my blood work. The next day they called and said that my hcg levels weren't rising correctly and that if i started to bleed to call. If not i have to go in on Tuesday. They sounded pretty negative but I'm not completely giving up hope yet. I've been praying like crazy and the # went from 2500 to 4900 over 4 days. I know that isn't doubling every 2 days but someone told me it is still possible if it goes up at least two thirds every 3 days and mine was pretty close to that. I just have to wait to see which is torture!

Sorry to hear about your m/c.  I know all to well how heartbreaking that is.

Well, did your doctor make sure your levels went back to 0 after your miscarriage?  If so, you are preggers!!!  If they didn't, it may be that your levels haven't reached 0 yet, and an HPT will dectect that as pregnancy...
