Miscarriage

April 12, 2008

I missed my period and then took an over-the-counter pregnancy test and it came up positive. This was Monday. On Wednesday I started bleeding. I tested again on Wednesday and Thursday and over-the-counter tests came up positive. Why am I bleeding? Have I miscarried? If I did miscarry, is this bleeding my period and I should be ovulating again on Day 14? Or is this possibly the miscarriage and I should be expecting my period soon? Right now I am assuming I miscarried and just want to know when I should expect to ovulate again so I can try, try again.

Hi hopeful,

many people do bleed and keep their pregnancy, hang in there and we hope you also will..let your doc know so that blood hCG levels can be drawn to days apart to notice an appropriate rise in levels which will increase the chances that this is a healthy pregnancy...

Thank you for responding Dr. Q! This is a great site! I plan to stop by planned parenthood this week to take a blood test to find out how my levels are doing. What I am really confused about right now is what is this bleeding considered that I am going through. Say I did miscarry, is this my period blood, meaning I could ovulate again VERY soon (like in 14 days)? Or should I be expecting some more bleeding and then ovulation will happen after that? I've read it takes 4-6 weeks and was just curious what that meant. I've read I could ovulate on time like normal? Thank you,

Amanda
