It could be implant bleeding, a slight bleed from a ruptured cyst on the ovary ect... You are way too early for anything deffinate. Not to mention, at this stage in the game nothing can be seen or done until the pregnancy progresses or goes to a stale mate. It is all a waiting game in the begining.

Yes, your cycle can be off after a m/c. You can ovulate early or late. They advise waiting a few months (for early m/c) before TTC again. This is to let the body fully heal and for you to have a strong full cycle. It is a waiting game and I know they are frustrating. I have had 5 m/c. Every pregnancy was pins and needles to see how far it would go before I was in the "safe" zone.

I have a blood disorder that went undiagnosed (properly that is) for more than 15 years since it was first suspected. It was the culprit of my m/c's. The average woman does actually have about 3 in her lifetime. Many don't even know it. Especially if they aren't "trying" to get pregnant. Don't stress too much about them ;) I had 3 m/c then years of not even a faint positive. One day out of the blue "BAM" pregnant!! 6 weeks 3 days at my first u/s TWINS! lol My mom is a fraternal twin so I guess I was lucky with the genetics passed to me. After the girls were born, 2 more m/c and my son. I wasn't even trying to get pregnant after my girls. It was like my body reset itself and was incredibly fertile. lol

Your levels are really relative to you. Some people say that the higer the HCG level early in pregnancy that you are having twins. Not the case. Mine were the same with my girls as they were with my son. As long as your levels are doubling on schedule you should be fine.

My advise, sit back and relax. You can't do anything about it at this stage no matter what. If you lose the pregnancy, let your body heal and try again later. If not, YIPPEE and carry on. lol Life is funny. When you least expect things to happen, they always do. Good Luck!

ur sweet thanks .. sorry to ask but what is wrong with your blood the reason I ask is because I'm rha- so I always have to have rhogam shot was wondering If was the same

wondering if a may have had a miscarriage and did kno it and that's why my body is fighting off the pregnancies

I have heriditary spherocytosis. My red blood cells are formed like balls rather than the concave doughnut shape. The spleens function is to filter bad, old or sick RBC's from your blood. Well, all mine were bad so I was always anemic and pretty sick. When you have an ailment or something isn't right in your body, the body protects itself by ceasing the function of functions that aren't required to live. Reproductive system is always the first to shut down. I have since been transfusion dependent for 2 years then had my spleen removed and so far, I am over a year without a transfusion. I am still "anemic" but not to the degree I was. I can actually function now.  

Rh- is not anything that should affect you sustaining pregnancies. That is something that they deal with when you are further in pregnancy.

One m/c doesn't tell your body to keep rejecting pregnancies. Honestly, they don't really consider it an issue until you have had 4 documented m/c's or more. You should be checked as soon as you are pregnant because of your tubal but, honestly these things just happen. Until you have had several in a row, they chalk it up to "normal". If you aren't letting your body heal and your body isn't "healthy" (sick, malnourished ect...) you will actually invite more m/c's to the table.

yes I agree we were not tryin but obviously not tryin to prevent I didn't think it would happen again so soon but I am foolish .. the way my doctor explained the rh factor was that if the baby's blood does not match mine once our bloods mix my body will create anti bodies to fight off future pregnancies if I go without the shot but they don't usually give it until around 20 weeks or so but if u miscarry the blood of the fetus mixes with your blood and you have to have the shot within 72 hours of bleeding they actually gave it to me tonight because of the bleeding just in case but I dunno how it really works and have never fully understood

That is a new one to me. A friend of mine is rh- and has had several m/c's. She has never mentioned that. The baby technically doesn't have "blood" to mix with yours at less than 6 weeks or so. You might get a fetal pole at 5 weeks but not always the case.

it's crazy I don't get it either just hate the idea that my body may be tryin to get rid of what might be my child one day .. I bet you was relieved when you finally found out what was happening and they were able to prevent it .. do u think I should call my ob on mon or just wait til my opp which is in early dec ?

That isn't how it worked for me. I carried the twins to term not knowing about it. the 2 m/c's still not knowing. Then I got pregnant with Anthony. I had an incompetant Dr. I went to my appt telling her that I was just so very tired. Like tired to the point I would get up, feed my girls, bring them to my bedroom, turn on cartoons and go to sleep. I would sleep for the duration of the 30min cartoon then they would say "Uh Oh Mommy, it's over" and I would play another Dvr'd one. I was doing this more often than not. I never threw up. The Dr told me that it was "part of pregnancy" and prescribed me a pregnancy cradle. Told me I was good to go to AZ to check on my house down there and deal with my deadbeat tennants. Well, I got the norwalk virus from one of my girls and as a precaution my former OB in AZ asked me to come to the ER to get some fluids and some zofran to keep me from getting dehydrated. It was there that they tested my blood and saw that my hematocrit was at a 6. 12 is considered "low". Nobody should ever go below 10. Another day or so, my son and I would have died. They immediately transfued me and called oncology in on my case. Oncology also specalizes in diseases of the blood. So, they started running several tests and for the short time I was there they couldn't do much more. They sent me home to an oncologist/hematologist and from there I did more tests and transfusions. A year and 9 months in, they had a solid diagnosis and there were no other markers or indicators of anything else. 3 months later, I had the surgery. that is another ordeat. lol I actually can't have anymore children because of this condition. It is genetic so there is a risk of my kids having it. My son is clear but we haven't tested the girls yet. And, it could kill me. having the twins was just too much for my bone marrow to keep up with and from that point on I just deterioirated. I am now finally on a path to good health and will be near complete after january when I have my uterus removed.
