I had a miscarriage 6 wks ago tomorrow. I still have not had AF but in the past few days I have felt like it might be coming on. I am having sore breasts, light cramps, and feel bloated. However, these are the same things that happened when I was pregnant the first time. My husband and I did wait a few weeks after the miscarriage to have intercourse but then after that we did not actively try not to conceive. I would like to hear from others who got pg before AF after a miscarriage. Also, when should I test to see if I am?

Hi GNH - Well it was strange for me to read your message, because Oct 3, 2002 I had a miscarriage. I was 8 weeks and 4 days along. I had to go in for a DnC to remove the pregnancy, and our doctor told us not to have sex for 4 weeks, and at that time it would be safe to begin planning our family again. Well, as many young couples do not listen to their practicioner, we only waited one week. On Nov 9th 2002 I went to my doctor and my husband and I decided to wait to try for another baby so I went on the birthcontrol pill. I had a regular period at that time, and then again in December. On New Years Eve that night, I wasn't feeling like myself, I was dizzy and felt faint. My husband bought a HPT and I tested Positive. I was in SHOCK!! Here I was on the pill and just experienced a misscarriage. We were happy non the less. I immediatley called the Dr. to tell him that I tested Pos, and he told me to end my Birth control. I went in to see him on Jan 3 2003 and the blood test too was positive. He scheduled me for an ultra sound for that day because he was conserned about the birthcontrol and pregnancy. We believed I was only about 5 weeks along. Boy were we wrong. According to the Ultra sound I was 11 weeks 5 days pregnant!!!! So when we traced that back, I literally got pregnant one week after we'd miscarried. It is completely possible to become pregnant that soon after misscarriage and AF. June 26 2003 we had a beautiful baby girl. All the best and good luck.

It was great to read your reply. We have been trying for several years without luck and then finally got pg in August, then miscarried in Oct. It was devastating but at the same time we were so happy to know that we actually can get pg:) We hope it happens again asap. Thanks again!

hi, i want to know my chances of getting pregnant again after 6weeks of miscarriage.

wrightrd1 over a year ago

Your chances are good. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in March and had a DNC. My husband and I were told not to have sex without some kind of protection until after my next period came. So we waited it took about a month to get my period. In early May we had sex only three times. Last week I was feeling a little sick so I took a test and it was positive. I called my doctor and he ordered a blood test and it came back good. Two days later he retested me to see if my hormone levels were doubling and they were. He said that is a good sign that this pregnacy may take. I have two friends and they both waited one month before trying and were also able to become pregnant the following month and each of them now has a healthy baby. Good luck!

I HAD A MISCARRIAGE 4WKS AGO TODAY I WAS 10 WKS AND 4 DAYS ALONG WE STARTED HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE ABOUT 2.5 WEEKS AGO WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING PREGNANT?

Miracle Baby over a year ago

It is from the best of my knowledge that getting pregnant after a miscarriage is more likely than those without or people who have tried for years. I just had a miscarriage on May 3rd, 2007. On May 2nd I took a blood test at the dr's office, May 3rd before I could get my results i woke up with my menstal cycle and was worried, talked to the dr and my results were a LOW positive, took another test on the 4th and it showed negative I miscarried. So I counted my 31 days to my next cycle because I don't usually miss and on June 2nd no period. Tested at home with a HPT and got a faint positive, two days later tested again darker positive. Finally went back to the dr and tested again and it was positive my HCG was 756 which means I was 5 Weeks pregnant putting me at 1 week pregnant AFTER my miscarriage. I just had another HCG test done by the OBGYN a week after that and my levels are at 5,200 or so. I am now 6weeks and hoping all stays well but I am also on Prometrium 2x's a day at 100MG to hold the pregnancy.

So in answer to everyones question it is HIGHLY likely to become pregnant RIGHT after a miscarriage but dont think you are in the clear. Just be careful and listen to your dr because it could turn into higher risks. I am still waiting to make sure all is ok and until after my first trimester I am not out of the clear. Although dont let this scare you plenty of people have had MANY healthy babies after miscarriage! So good luck to all and I hope I've helped.

Hi,
I had LLETZ on Feb 3 (for pre cancerous cervical cells) found out on March 6th i was pregnant. On May 11 i found out that i had had a missed misscarriage thought i was 13.3day but baby stopped growing about 8-9 weeks. I had a DC on 13th May... waited just over a week to have sex (despite dr saying wait till after next period) did 2 pregnancy tests today and they were both faint possitives. haven't had a period since DC so i assume the chances of getting preg are very high!! So stocked to conceive so quickly!! Have twin 4.5 yo boys desperate for a girl.. Heres hoping!!!
Good luck

What happens if you don't get your period 6 weeks after a miscarriage?

A person who does not have a period after 6 weeks following a pregnancy loss may want to take a pregnancy test. If there is no pregnancy, but a period does not occur, people should speak with a doctor. A medical professional may recommend waiting until after a period arrives to try for another pregnancy.

Can you get pregnant with no period after miscarriage?

You may be surprised to learn that you can get pregnant after a miscarriage without even having a “normal” menstrual period. How? Well, after you miscarry, your body starts the process of getting back into its usual reproductive routine. This means that you might experience ovulation before getting another period.

When should I expect my period after a miscarriage at 6 weeks?

Most women who have miscarried have a period four to six weeks later. Your period may be heavier or more painful than usual, and you may notice a strong odor.

Can you get a positive pregnancy test 6 weeks after miscarriage?

The amount of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) may still be high enough to trigger a positive result on a pregnancy test for several weeks after a miscarriage.
