After Chemical Pregnancy

Hello all..was hoping someone had some input...

I stopped BC in June and we didn't use any other BC in July...thinking it might take a while to conceive....I tested positive on July 19 the day my period was expected....on the following Wednesday the 22nd I started bleeding...and miscarried, it was a chemical preganancy...my doctor advised waiting one cycle to try again...

My questions are if anyone has experienced this:

1. when did you start your period after the miscarriage bleeding...was it your regular cycle on schedule or 28 days from the start of your miscarriage bleeding.
2. do you know when you ovulated?
3. How soon after did you try and/or conceive again?

We ran through the gammut of emotions the week this all happened (we were on vacation in Maui!)...but are taking from it the knowledge we can conceive...which I know for many is so difficult..the doctor think this most likely was due to me having just stopped BC...so anyone planning on trying, I would advise using condoms for at least a cycle...but everyone is different!

Thanks!!

Hi,  We got pregnant while I was on BC and I had a chemical pregnancy.  The Dr. also told me it may have been because my uterus didn't have enough lining because I was on BC.  My Dr. told me to wait 3 months after I officially went off BC.  But I was trying before 3 months because I was ovulating.  But I did not get pregnant until 4 months after.  I started my cycle right away, but sometimes that's not the case.  I was ovulating and getting my period normally.  It sucks because most people don't view a chemical pregnancy as a miscarriage, but it's just as hard.  Good luck TTC!

Thanks!!  And congrats on expecting!!!  Best of Luck!

Mine went back to normal right away. Nothing really changed other than my emotions. I had a miscarriage March 1st and thats when they consider this pregnancy started. I know how hard it is to lose our babies at any point! This is my 7th documented pregnancy and I have 2 kids now. So just stay strong and know it will happen!!


Good luck on the TTC!!!

mid march 2006 I tested positive and then promptly lost it.

they called it a chemical pregnancy. 

they didn't tell me to wait.

I was pregnant again in April with my daughter.
