Hey thanks for having this amazing website.
My husband & I have been together for 6 and a half years and in the space of 4 years we have had 3 miscarriages and 2 ectopics, as far as I am aware, I have never had any sti’s such as clyamidia or anything like that so I really dont understand why this keeps on happening! After the first ectopic they took my tube out with surgery and told me that both my tubes were damaged and had alot of adhesions on them, I had one healthy baby girl 9 years ago but had bled alot while having her, so much so that they thought i was starting to hemmorage but everything turned out alright, so Im not sure if that had contributed to it or not. I just dont know what to do! My best friend is soo damn insensative and keeps telling me that I should just be happy with what I have which as you can imagine really gets my goat and its not that I dont thank God every day for my little girl, its just thatI want to give my husband the chance to experience everything that I did as he is not my childs biological father and therefore was not around when I had her but he loves her just like he would his own< I just need to know what i should do and what on earth I should do when my friend makes remarks like just be grateful for what you have because you never know when things can be taken away from you! when she has never had anything taken away from her, and she isnt the only one so many other people I know are saying stuff like this to me! and I am finding it sooo hard to hold on and keep sane so if you can help that would be great thanks.

Thanks so much for this website. I lost my first baby at 15 weeks last week in an incredibly physically painful natural miscarriage and this site has already brought me so much comfort. I find myself coming back to read sections just to reassure myself. It makes me feel better that you offer real plans for how long to wait and how to try again and what’s reasonable to expect and request of doctors. Thanks so much and blessings to you.

I just recently had a miscarriage on dec 28, the following day I went for an ultrasound and it showed that I had some retained tissue and so I had to take a drug to clear the uterus. Last Friday, Jan 15 , I went for another ultrasound and it showed that I had a small cyst in my ovary, and some fluid, they believe that it is because I am going to ovulate. The ultrasound also showed that I had a small piece of tissue about 1 cm in my uterus. How can I ovulated if I still have retained tissue? Will I get my period. I have had unprotected sex since I stopped bleeding from the miscarriage around jan 3. I don’t know whats going on. Could I still get pregnant|? Even if I have retained tissue? Please help me I am scared and confused.

Hello. I love this site. I have had 2 pregnancies that resulted in 2 mc over the past year with my most recent one at the end of April. I keep refering back to this site becuz it is so informative and helpful. I did convince my doctor to do some early testing…a complete blood panel of about 8 different tests and they all came back normal. I have faith and trust in God that me and my husband will be blessed with biological children soon. My mom had 13 miscarriages and has 5 healthy children. Of course back then they didn’t really do any of the testing, so I can’t say, “hey my mom has this, so maybe I do too.” I will be trying the sperm meets egg plan, this month as we were given the green light to try again whenever we were ready. We haven’t had trouble getting pg the both times, but hopefully the plan with boost up our 3 month average. Thank you for keeping up with this site and for all your supportive blogs. And please please pray that we will get pregnant soon and that it will go to turn and result in the perfect baby for us.

Thank you, and God Bless

Hi- This website is so wonderful & has helped me very much!! I do have some questions I hope some1 can help me out on. To give some background: I have been w my bf for 7 yrs & I had just gotten off the bc pill & was havin unprotected sex. I was due for my periond on Feb 18 a didn’t get it. On Feb 20, I took 2 pg tests same day diff times & both came back pos. I was soooo excited & made a doctors appt for that thurs, feb 26. at the office I took a pg test as well… this one came back neg. I was soooo upset but the nurse said maybe it was to early to tell bc I tested so early. I was so upset & wanted answers right away so the nxt day I went to the er where they did a blood tst. the test showed my hm levels were at 5, very very low. while I was at the er I started to bleed! it was not terrible just a little heavier then normal. & it lasted till about mon- 4 days. here is my situstion: my bf & I were havin unprotected sex & I have not had a period since the mc. on fri it will be 6 weeks. my question is… is it more likely I am pg again or is my body just off track bc of my mc? I have been thinkin about this & bc it was a very very early mc & my levels were almost to 0 on the 27 shouldn’t I of had a pd by now? I have not taken a hpt bc I am sooooooooooo afraid this will happen again & I would just rather not kno!! any suggestions or comment… thank u!!

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and since then I haven’t been able to concieve. Since I had a miscarriage does that mean I can’t have kids? Please help me I’m so upset and scared!

Thanks for the helpful site.
I was 13 weeks when I miscarried and it was so hard. I was really scared at 9 weeks cause I was getting major cramping. So I booked a U/S and we got to hear the heartbeat. It was really cool and they said the babies hear beat was 170 which was good. But still we had a miscarriage. I thought we were safe cause it was past 12 weeks. My first appointment with my OBGYN was the day after I was in the ER room learning about my miscarriage. It was horrible.

This site helped so thank you very much~

I just wanted to say that this website has been my lifeline for the past 5 months. It provided me with the information I needed after I miscarried 5 months ago. It has given me a place to go for understanding, peace and hope. It has provided me with a sense of normalcy and helped reduce my isolation and self-blame. This website also gave me hope for future pregnancies and provided a very practical guide to help women achieve another pregnancy when ready. The sperm meets the egg plan was a great plan and I can happily say that after trying it faithfully for 1 month I am now blessed to be pregnant again! I of course am filled with fear and excitement but this website has addressed this very natural occurrence and helped keep my stress at bay. Thank you so much for helping women like myself get through the very devestating experience of losing a child. We often need to find support in those who knows exactly what it feels like mind, body and soul.

Hi… I took a home test about two weeks back and it was positive. I gave birth to a stiborn last year and four months later later fell pregnant again only to find out that the foetus did nit develop and I had an empty sac. I do not have sore breasts or morning sickness, just feel the urge to eat all the time. What are the chances that this might be excatly like the last pregnancy. I am scared to go to a doctor.

Kim,

I’m sorry you are going through such a hard time.

First, yes, it is possible that you still have remaining hCG from the previous miscarriage, but it is also possible that you could have a new pregnancy, if you have not been using birth control.

The only way to know for certain what is going on is to have two blood tests done three days apart. If the number doesn’t double, then that eliminates a new pregnancy (which you may not be worried about, if you know it is impossible.)

Having hCG linger that long is a sign that your uterus is having a hard time expelling the tissue at the implantation site. It might require a mild cramping drug or a round of progesterone to bring on a good solid bleed that gets it out.

It’s time to call your doctor and see where you are.
