miscarrige or chemical???

Yes, it was a chemical. Once can start ttc right away.

So is the only reason my Dr. called it a misscarrige was because I had hcg detected? Or can a chemical detect hcg as well.

With a chemical pregnancy, hcg is also detected.

Was a gestational sac ever seen via u/s?

some doctors dont say chemical, some just use m/c as a general word. I had a chemical last April i assume cuz although my levels were at 130ish i started bleeding only a few days after AF was due.

A chemical deff can detect HCG cuz you get a +HPT with a chemical as well as a m/c.

No b/c I was too early and my hcg only reached 83...I just don't know why they called it a misscarrige then? I want my facts correst so that I can approch dh and talk about when we can concider ttc. He is so scared from the ep in March and then this current episode he is thinking we should wait like 6 month to a year, but I have waited for him to be ok for two years lol. I would like to wait 2-3 months to give my bod a break but not 6-year. That seems like prison time to me. lol

Well you definitely had a chemical.

My doc has always told me that a chemical was a "type" of m/c...he said the main ones are a chemical, blighted ovum, and your average m/c where the baby stops developing. I always wondered why they dont just call all of them a m/c.

The main difference is with a chemical you can start ttc again right away, but with a blighted ovum or missed miscarriage you have to wait until your hcg levels drop down to <5 again.

My levels went from 83 to 17 within 3 days. Five days from that they got in in to see if they droped and they were at 0.

Re office just called and said that there is no exact way of knowing if it was indeed a chemical or a miss, and it sounds more like a chemical, however she still recomends a two mence wait before ttc again. Rather be safe. So I am going to switch gyn doc,but stay with my RE. I am better with at lease having a little more to go off of rather then nothing.

chas, i had a doc that told me to wait 3mths before trying after my first miscarriage and i did wait. but i think that as long as your levels have dropped then you can start trying again.

i know alot of women that got pregnant the next month after a miscarriage/chemical. good luck hun!

You can get preggo anytime you ovulate after a m/c or chemical. Normally they ask you to wait a few months if you were further along in your pregnancy to give your uterus a rest.

With an early m/c or chemical your levels drop pretty quickly so you will ovulate about 2 weeks after your levels drop to -0-. Usually about 6-8 weeks after a m/c you will have your period so 14 days before that you could get pregnant.

ok well I started spotting on the 6th of July and am having a period today. Thats makes it a 26 day cycle vs 28 is this normal? I am cramping some and bleeding now too. I started a full flow misscarrige/chemical on the 10th which was threee weeks ish ago. However on the 7th levels were at 83 and on the 10th they went to 17..... So I am guessing I was indeed starting to loose the pg on the 6th.

I am just glad to be starting a cycle again... Kind of makes me feel normal

so you are bleeding sooner than you would have if you didnt have the m/c? Thats strange..... are you sure this is a real period chas?

Chas-

Spontaneous abortion (SAB), or miscarriage, is the term used for a pregnancy that ends on it's own, within the first 20 weeks of gestation. The medical name spontaneous abortion (SAB) gives many women a negative feeling, so throughout this article we will refer to any type of spontaneous abortion or pregnancy loss under 20 weeks as miscarriage.

Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages. This occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of her expected period. The woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy.

Most miscarriages occur during the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. Pregnancy can be such an exciting time, but with the great number of recognized miscarriages that occur, it is beneficial to be informed about miscarriage, in the unfortunate event that you find yourself or someone you know faced with one.

There can be many confusing terms and moments that accompany a miscarriage. There are different types of miscarriage, different treatments for each, and different statistics for what your chances are of having one. The following information gives a broad overview of miscarriage. This information is provided to help equip you with knowledge so that you might not feel so alone or lost if you face a possible miscarriage situation. As with most pregnancy complications, remember that the best person you can usually talk to and ask questions of is your health care provider.

Chels, it is in full swing...

I am cramping and full flowing too. I was surprised myself, but I guess not all pg losses mean a 6 weeks wait for a mence?

Can this be normal Doc??

bump

if your levels dropped quick enough then sure you can get you period right around the right time. I think that i just ovulated a couple days ago so i will get my period in about 12 days or so.

Once your levels drop to 0 then you grow and egg and drop it so this is about 4.5 weeks since the m/c, right? Very normal chas.

I m/c on 7/7

The Dr. The good one=)lol called and is going to get me in for a yearly and they think that since my bod bounced back into a cycle so fast that if we wanted to(IF) we could ttc again. I still want to wait a bit tho, but that was nice to hear.
