Pregnant this soon?

Question

I had a miscarriage right before Christmas. This morning i woke up extremely nauseated and dizzy. And am still not feeling the best in the world. I can't get out to get a pregnancy test because the weather is all icy and cold. So I was just wondering if it is possible for me to be pregnant this soon or if I just have the flu or something....thanks for your comments

my hormone levels dropped to zero about 3 days after my miscarriage...so i know it's not from the first pregnancy

Answer 1

you may still be ill from losing the baby. Go see a doctor

Answer 2

HCG Levels
Most women can expect their levels to return to a non-pregnant range about 4 - 6 weeks after a pregnancy loss has occurred. This can differentiate by how the loss occurred (spontaneous miscarriage, D&C procedure, abortion, natural delivery), and how high the levels were at the time of the loss.
Health care providers usually will continue to test HCG levels after a pregnancy loss to ensure they return back to 5.0.

tiredness
It is normal to feel emotionally and physically drained following a miscarriage. If possible take a few days off work, and if you can't, make sure you get to bed early, plan rests where possible and postpone anything that isn't urgent.
Make yourself your first priority.

bleeding
If your miscarriage is complete, you can expect your bleeding to taper off rapidly, i.e. over the next week it should get lighter and lighter and stop. All bleeding and spotting should have stopped by seven days. If it persists or is heavier than a normal period, this indicates something is wrong, see your doctor. While you are still bleeding it is important that you shower, not bath, and that you do not swim in public pools because of the risk of contracting an infection.

pain
When the miscarriage is complete, or after a D&C all pain should cease. Again, see your doctor if you have continuing pain.

temperature
Temperature indicates infection which can result in infertility. If you have one see your doctor urgently. You will be treated with antibiotics and possibly a D&C (or repeat D&C).

discharge
If you are having an offensive discharge this could also indicate infection so get checked out.

lactation
This is normal if the pregnancy has lasted longer than 12 weeks and will stop by itself.

menstrual cycle
Ovulation can occur 14 days after a miscarriage with the next period 28 days after the miscarriage, but there is great personal variation. It may take a few cycles before your regular pattern is re-established. This means that you can become pregnant 14 days after a miscarriage if you resume a normal cycle immediately, but there is a great personal variation. It can take up to 6 or 7 weeks for your next period to come if you had "natural" miscarriage (i.e. no D&C or tablets).

sex
Sexual intercourse should be avoided until bleeding has stopped to prevent the risk of infection. Even though your cervix will be closed again, sperm can travel up through it and introduce infection into the uterus, which is still healing.

contraception
If you do not wish to become pregnant immediately, you should start using contraception straight after the miscarriage. Note: The pill should be commenced at the time of the miscarriage. You will not be safe until you have taken the tablets for 14 days.

the physical symptoms of grief
Many women find they experience physical symptoms of grief as well as the emotional aspects. These vary greatly from person to person, and include:
disturbed sleep and eating patterns
unexplainable tiredness
unexpected tears
disturbing dreams and mental confusion

Be gentle and patient with yourself during this time and take comfort in knowing that these symptoms are normal.

Answer 3

I doubt you would be feeling syptoms this early if you were pregnant. You had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago, and even if magically you got pregnant the next day, which is impossible because you would not have ovulated the next day, you would not have symptoms yet. You are supposed to wait 3 months after a miscarriage anyways, otherwise the pregnancy is at high risk for miscarriage.

Answer 4

you probably have a cold or something. however it is still possible for you to be pregnant. a girl i work with got pregnant last year, but she started to bleed at about 8 weeks, everyone thought she had lost it, but after she got over the initial shock of it she was still sick and showing other signs too, so just on the off chance she did another test and it was positive, she had a scan a few weeks later and it tuned out that she had been expecting non - identical twins, she had lost one though. so you never can tell. as soon as you are well enough i'd take another test. just to see. but take it easy and rest...

Answer 5

there is a large possibility you are still ill from your miscarriage. (which, by the way, i am very sorry to hear about). it also is not smart to get pregnant immediatley after having a miscarriage or abortion because your body is not ready for it and there are larger possibilities that you may miscarry yet again. please be careful with your body and in hopes that you can carry a healthy child - do whats right! good luck!

Answer 6

I think its possible that you're pregnant, but I know its not reccommended that you get pregnant this soon. Your body might not be ready to sustain life yet. If you find out you're not pregnant, I would definately wait at least 6 months before even having sex without protection, otherwise you're risking another miscarriage.

Answer 7

yes its quite possible you are pregnant your body reacts just like youve given birth and just after giving birth or having a miscarriage are the most likely times to fall pregnant

Answer 8

More than likely something you ate...seems awful early for pregnancy symptoms if you just m/c a few weeks ago, then you really wouldn't even be a few weeks preg yet...

Answer 9

Very possible, my sister in law miscarried Oct 31st she got pregnant the week after Nov 15th (her honeymoon). She's now expecting in early August.

Answer 10

yes it is possable to get preg this soon. hope you get this sorted out soon cos if you test and its positive it will be a bit of a shock and youll probably be worrying like mad.

you could be ill though so just test to see. hope it works out
