Third pregnancy THIS year?
Hey ladies!
(Backstory: I have 2 children and had healthy pregnancies with both - they’re 7 & 11)
I found out I was pregnant on 3/31/20, but we never really knew how far along I was because my cycle had been pretty wonky prior to that (I lost a LOT of weight and my body finally felt like ovulating again I guess?). My hCG wasn’t rising appropriately, but we were able to see baby’s very low heartbeat on 5/3/20. I ended up miscarrying on 5/8/20. Doctor guesses I was about 5-6 weeks. No D&C was needed thankfully and doctor gave us the clear to start trying when my boyfriend and i felt ready.
Fast forward to 8/4/20, boyfriend and I haven’t been preventing pregnancy at all - and I get another BFP! We are ECSTATIC. Figuring this is finally it! My hCG levels increased well too. But... I started having debilitating stabbing pains in my lower abdomen on 8/27 and ended up miscarrying on 9/1. I was about 8 weeks. No D&C was needed. (We sent the tissue off from my Sept miscarriage for all kinds of testing - but the results came back stating there wasn’t enough tissue submitted).
My September miscarriage bleeding lasted from 8/28-9/8.
I had “tested out” my hCG and had gotten stark white negatives on 9/20 and 9/23. I hadn’t gone for my follow up hcg blood draw, but my tests definitely had become negative. My first period is due today. Just for fun (and because I’ve been super moody and hungry), I took another test... and it’s positive! I am SO confused! I’ve attached the dated pics of my tests showing hCG clearly decreasing. It’s only been 26 days since my miscarriage and only 19 days since my post-bleeding stopped.
Could I really be pregnant AGAIN this quick? 😮
