Miscarriage

I have 2 babies and my tubes were tied during the csection of my youngest baby.
I went into hospital on the weekend with stomach pain turns out its a early miscarriage im in alot of pain iv had a injection to help it along and they've clarified it was in my tubes so atleast I know the tubes being tied worked just still fell pregnant in the tubes. Even tho I oviously couldnt have being in the tube I am a little.upset even tho i chose to tie my tubes as I dont want amy more kids am I being silly feeling a little sad about it. I dont really know how I'm suppose to feel.

Has anyone got pregnant the same
Month after miscarriage?

Did you use ovulation strips? How did you achieve this

My period is gone 🫣

After my C-section, I bled for a couple months and then my period came back. Now I haven’t had one in about 3 months and it’s worrying me.
I haven’t had sex in over a year, so I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant. I also (might) have pcos, so I’m wondering if that could be why.
I’m honestly scared to go back to the doctor and just want to know has this happened to anyone else postpartum?

Unregulated periods after miscarriage :( feeling hopeless

I miscarried at 6 weeks, had a DNC at the end of November. I ended up having retained tissue and needed the pill nearly 2 weeks later. My first period came in January right at the same time it would every month and lasted 7 days. My next period was 43 days later and lasted 7 days! This is supposed to be my third period and I'm already 48 days since the last one. My periods used to come every month on the same day. I had a partial molar pregnancy :( I want to try again and I'm so frustrated and mad and sad that I won't even get proper periods.

Pregnant again after missed miscarriage but worried about it happening again

Last year I had a missed miscarriage about 5-6 weeks (hard to tell but based on only seeing a gestational sac) discovered at 7 weeks after a reassurance scan and after symptoms fading. I’m now pregnant again at roughly 6.5 weeks and worried about the same happening. I’ve barely had any symptoms and really don’t feel pregnant (no fatigue, food aversions, sore boobs etc). I’m so anxious history is repeating itself and that I won’t be able to get past this stage. I have an early scan next week, but I’m convincing myself it’s going to be bad news.

Has anyone else had this and it’s been okay? How I do I stop worrying/or worrying less?

5 weeks 5 days

Hi so I have had 4 miscarriages and I keep testing every 2/3 days... I know I should stop but I am assuming this is what a dye stealer looks like or close to? I am so nervous and cautious

8 weeks 5 days- subchorionic hematoma

Hi all, been spotting went to the hospital and got told I had a subchorionic hematoma.. Has anyone had this before or now? And what did you do for treatment?

Announcing pregnancy to bff dealing with recurrent miscarriages.

The title sums it up. What is the best way to go about this? this will be my second child. I have also dealt with miscarriage in the past before my first born so I can only imagine how horrible it is for her and I feel so sorry for her. I don’t know how to tell her I am expecting a second child. I am still in the early stages of my pregnancy. She tells me she is positive about her situation and I know she would be happy for me but I feel some kind of guilt and I don’t know how to bring the news to her.

What to do after 2nd miscarriages

Hi, I had 2nd miscarriage last month. We are trying to conceive this month. After conceived, can my GP refer me to an early pregnancy unit for close monitoring to reduce miscarriage risk for 3rd time? I am in the impression that GP will refer only after 3rd miscarriage. Mine would be 3rd pregnancy this time. Any thoughts, please?

Experiencing an Early Miscarriage

I'm on day 3 of early miscarriage and curious what's next. My husband and I are ready for baby number two but lost on what to expect next. I just had a second round of bloodwork done and am curious what happens next. More appointments? When can we start trying again? How long until everything normalizes again?

First period…

I think this is classed as my first period since my miscarriage…

The miscarriage started on 25th February and I bled for around 10 days lightly like a usual period. I had 3/4 days without bleeding before I started again.. this felt like typical period for me… a month later (now) I’ve started bleeding again however this is much heavier (i’m changing my tampons everyone 2-4 hours due to leaks) I never usually have leaks like this and have to change so often.

Is this normal to have such a heavier period after miscarriage? I’m awaiting a camera into my uterus to check that all the tissue has come away or whether it’s just blood from before that hasn’t come away yet.

Just a little scared I guess.

Hi everyone. Need some advice or maybe just to rant. I’m 22 years old and had a miscarriage at 16 weeks two years ago. Now I’m 15 weeks pregnant. 6 weeks ago I had a threatened miscarriage and today I was back in the hospital with bleeding and cramping. They say everything’s fine and baby’s placenta just detached to move and reattach. Baby’s heart rate was 164 and is measuring close to five inches. I’ve been taking it really easy since my threatened miscarriage so this really upset me today. I am on vacation out of state so wondered if maybe the stress could have caused the bleeding? The hospital did two different ultrasounds and couldn’t tell me anything other than baby is ok.

And I can breathe 🧘‍♀️

After a miscarriage in February, this pregnancy has felt so different. And hitting 3+ at 4w5d is all I need✨🌈. I can now stop testing, and take it day by day until my scan in 4 weeks. I have a feeling my baby is gonna see me earth side this time 🤞🤍🌈✨

Worried about trying again

I have a little boy who is nearly four, recently miscarried with my 2nd pregnancy and am worried about trying again in case it happens again. Me and my husband really struggled to come to terms with the miscarriage. I miscarried at home naturally and it was quite traumatic so my husband has said he doesn’t know if he could see me go through it again. My question is has anyone had a successful pregnancy after miscarriage. You see alot of people on here having multiple losses and I’m not sure if we can go through that! Wanting some positive stories if possible

Just found out I’m pregnant probably 4-5 weeks. I had a miscarriage 2 months ago and I’m nervous about this pregnancy. I’m sure everything will be fine but you just never know.

For people who have gone through a miscarriage and had a healthy pregnancy after does this feeling fade or did it last the whole pregnancy?

What are the chances

What are the chances of having another miscarriage? I had a miscarriage in Feb and had my first period almost 2 weeks ago what are the chances of having another miscarriage back to back? Praying I don’t have another one
