I had to have an abortion July 31 because I went for an ultra sound and I was suppose to be 18 weeks when they told me I was only 14 an a half they had told me that there was something wrong with my baby.. that I would have miscarried no matter.. what but I wanted my baby more then anything.. as all of you should no that I was talking to on hear... it has now been over 4 weeks still no period.. but I wanted to no what are the chances that I could still be pregnant from that pregnany? Is there any chance that I could still be pregnant... has this ever happened to anyone?

If you had an abortion then everything was pretty well cleaned out so there isn't much chance that you could be pregnant . There is considerable trauma during an abortion, and after. Your body has to adapt and settle into a new cycle. Just wait for normal menstruation to resume and try to relax.

The thing is I wanted to no if it is posible to become pregnant while on your period if you read my other post I had an abortion last month it was not something I wanted to do... but the doctor told me that the baby wasn't growing anymore and I was going to miscary they said if I were to have kept the baby any longer there could have been a problem with me.. but I just want to no if it is posible to become pregnant on your period.. especially after having the abortion??

Absofreakinlutely! YOu are so unbelievably fertile after having a baby or abortion! Google this and you will find story after story. Birth control is SO inexpensive and well worth it. Be very careful. Oh and you may not be on your period. It may be Post Partum bleeding you're experiencing. Either way, you can get pregnant.

There is a possibility of getting pregnant anytime you have sex. Be very careful, talk to your doctor and find a sutible form of birth control that is right for you.

We could have an entire thread to discuss if it is really a abortoin if the baby is not alive and it is more of a D/C. But anyway, of course you can still become pregnant, if you are still having unprotected sex.

And did the doctor not say something about not having sex for a period after the procedure ?

If you are going to be having sex, you need to use some form of birth control if you do not wish to be prgnant

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, I know from previous posts that you really want a baby. Having said that, the best chance for you to get pregnant and have a healthy baby is to wait for a period of at least 3 months after a D and C.

As to your question, yes you can get pregnant when you have your period, especially after your body has been through a traumatic event like yours just has.

If you still want a baby then please wait until your body is ready. Talk to you doctor.

Thank you all so much!! Well its been a month since I had to have the D & C and I was bleeding for 2 weeks.. and then I just finally got my period on Friday! they said I would most likely get my period 4 weeks from the D&C but its been 5 weeks! That I got my period... they told me to wait at least a month to start having sex again! I just wasn't sure that it could be possible to get pregnant while on my period... but I guess anything is possible... but thanks for the advice everyone!!

I wish you all the best and Good luck. Take care.

As all of you guys no I had an abortion.. well a D&C.. I had my period already.. but for someone reason still having signs... how long should I wait to take a HPT after an abortion, miscarriage?? It has been now 6 weeks... so should my HCG levels have dropped by now..?

I don't know why, mustang, you keep asking this question. A D&C cleans everything right out and you are so clean that you can get pregnant quite easily again. Please ask your doctor these questions as he is best to explain it to you.

I have heard of a lot of people getting pregnant.. like 2 weeks after the procedure.. so that's y I ask..

Yes that's very true. Your doctor should have told you that and precautions to take so that you would not have relations so soon after because the chances of pregnancy are increased after curretage (D&C). If you think you are pregnant get checked out by your doctor and don't rely on a home pregnancy test to find out.

Could there be a possibility... that I could be pregnant again? And that a HPT could say negative... because I had taken 2 HPT.. they said negative but I was mainly checking to c if I had any HCG levels still in me but I guess I don't if they cam back negative!

HCG levels can't be detected with a home pregnancy test. It is found with urine and blood tests.

What is the most accurate HOME PREGNANCY TEST?

A doctor.

Most name brand hpt tests are pretty similar in their accuracy.

Many now come in packs of 2 so that you can take both just to make sure.

Some brands are e.p.t. first response, etc.

There all pretty accurate

Does anyone no anything about implantation bleeding!? Please help me out hear!

You seem to be having your share of problems right now. Here is all you should now about implantation bleeding:

What does implantation bleeding look like?
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding.

When does implantation bleeding usually occur?
It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.
Should I worry about implantation bleeding occurring?
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about.
If this is implantation bleeding, when can I test to see if I am pregnant?
Home pregnancy tests are based on a very simple principle. They work by through the detection of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. This hormone is a hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after a fertilized egg has been implanted in the uterine lining.

If a woman is pregnant, the amount of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in her system should be around 25 mIU at 10 dpo (days past ovulation), 50 mIU at 12 dpo, 100 mIU at around two weeks dpo. Because of their high sensitivity factor ( 20 mIU/ml hCG ) in detecting human hCG, both the AimStick pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past ovulation though most women find that the test reports a positive at 9 or 10 days past ovulation.

My actaul period should come on the 7th!! So when do you think I should test to c if I am pregnant?

I went through that too.. I was 16 weeks and when I went in for my check up there was no heart beat the baby stopped growing at 13 or so. I had the D & C as well and right after my period I got pregnant. I was so afraid it was going to happen again but It didn't and my son was born healthy and is now almost 7 years old. Good luck and stay healthy..

Best wishes,
Michelle

Since it has been a month since the OP posted, do we have any update on this ?

I have a problem that I need help with... this has been happening for over 2 months now.. usually at night when I'm trying to sleep usually around the same time every night.. I feel something in my lower abdomen.. its like something is moving.. and it happens like 10 times at night each night.. it happens during the day but I don't notice it that much then I do at night... what could the possibility be?? what do you guys think??

It could be your bowels moving food through. This is done by involuntary muscles, so you don't get to decide when it will happen. And yes, our insides do quite a bit of moving. Try eating your last meal earlier in the evening.

Well the weird thing about it is I have had it for about 2 months now.. and I can feel it during the day but I can really feel it at night... and the weird part is I put my hand on my stomach and I can actually feel something... and I have never felt this before in my life!

Have you changed your diet recently, started any different medications, that could be why, maybe your bowels are having a harder time digesting then usual.

No I haven't been on any medication... I eat at normal times during the day.. I can never eat at night it always has made my stomach hurt...

I'm not on any kind of diet I have been eating the same way I have been eating for years.. and I don't no what it could possibly be...

Is it painful at all? Could it be that you are constipated? I've had that happen before and it feels like there's a snake going through my bowels. Maybe it's time to see your doctor about this if it's something you are concerned about.

Well I'm not to concerned about it.. but it worrys me because it has been going on for a little over 2 months now.. and no it doesn't hurt... its just a weird feeling in my lower abdomen like it is moving and I can actually feel something.. its hard to explain but all I no is that it has never happened to me before!

I'd go to the doctor just to make sure. Keep us updated. Sorry we couldn't help more.

I just find it strange when I lay down trying to fall asleep I feel something and it keeps me up threw out the night I put my hand on my stomach and I can actually feel something is that possible to feel a bowel movement outside of your stomach?

It is possible, trust me, I've been there.

Its OK I have been to the doctor so many times in the past month to find out .and I just can't figure it out.. but I am going for my yearly next month hopefully my doctor will be able to tell me what it is!! And thank you a lot for the advice!!

No problem, I just wish I could have helped more. Let us know how it goes. Take care.

I will thank you again... maybe it might just be a bowel movement... its just weird lol... expecially because I have never been threw that before... but I will keep you updated...

Has your stomach gotten bigger?

Maybe you have tape worms

has your stomach gotten bigger?

Yah and I have been gaining waight too!

I have sort of a problem.. as all you might no I was pregnant twice already this year and I miscarried July 5 2007.. and then 3 months later I got pregnant again and then when I hit 14 an a half weeks I had to have a D&C done January 31 2008... I have been having irregular periods... my question is.. is that I had unprotected sex last week but it was while I was on my period it was for 2 days... and I have been off my period and for the past 3 days my stomach has been so sore like I have cramps and I don't understand if I'm off my period I shouldn't be having them... could it be possible that 3 months after I had the D&C whitch would be when I had sex could that I mean I might be pregnant... has anyone ever felt signs of early pregnancy after 7-9 days after having unprotected sex... I would really like some info... bcuz I am feeling the same way I did those to other times I found out I was pregnant... and also it is around the 3 months of the D&C and it happened with me the last time in the matter of 3 months!!

Lots of people feel pregnant after unprotected sex. Seriously, though—you may not always feel the same way for each pregnancy. My wife was pregnant with twins, and she felt really pregnant from the get-go. We lost the twins, and now she is pregnant again 5 months later. She had her period like twice since then. But she says she doesn't feel pregnant at all. No sore boobs, nothing—just no period. I think the best thing you can do is see you doctor and get a test. Then you'll know for sure.

That's the problem though... like I had said I was on my period while having unprotected sex about 7-9 days ago.. and now I have been having weird pains in my stomach and cramps even though my period is not here... and I have never had cramps after I was done my period... and also it is way to early to detect pregnancy I'm just woundering if anyone has had any early symptoms of pregnancy and if they can share there storey it would mean a lot to me...

If you are having unprotected sex, yes it is possible

anymore info on this topic I would greatly apreciate it... = )

If you tend to ovulate early, or just happened to this cycle, then you could have gotten pregnant. Stomach cramping can be from so many different possibilities, so you'll have to wait and see how things go. Maybe try a test in another week or so and see what results you get.

Wouldn't it be still to early to check for a hpt? I have never had these cramps and sore pain in my lower stomach rite after I finished my period.. I usually get it before or nothing at all.. I had something like this the second time I was pregnant.. but I am still unsure.. I wish I new if I was or not..

I no this might be too much info... but I also forgot to say that ever since Saturday I was having a lot of discharge something I don't normally have there is no odor.. but it was not normal when I seen it.. it was like a white like egg whites.. and then clear... I had it more yesterday then the other 2 days.. could that possibly mean that I wa ovulating at that time and that there is a really high chance that I conceived??

Someone please helppp need more info!!

Your cramping and the discharge could be from ovulation. Some women will have cramping prior to ovulation, some during it, and some right afterwards. If you had the sex a week ago, and you give it another week, if you were pregnant it could show up that early for some women. Some tests are sensitive enough and women have gotten positives about 8 -10 dpo. Most will have to wait longer for an accurate result, but a small percentage do show up early on.

I had my positive HPT at 10 dpo. It usually takes longer, 14dpo is more common. If you don't know exactly when you ovulated you have no choice but to wait until you're late.

I had symptoms ever cycle I tried.. but they were "phantom" symptoms. Turns out when I actually got pregnant I didn't notice a thing.

P.S.
You're not going to want to hear this, but you have to stop and give your body some rest. A D&C and/or miscarriage is traumatic to your body and becoming pregnant so soon and so often in a short period could make it harder to keep the baby till term. Typically, you should wait at least a few months before trying again... talk to your doctor about this.

So when should I check for a HPT? And has anyone had any early symptoms like this please ease my mind so I don't think I'm crazy.. I have been pregnant twice so I no the symptoms but never had it this early... I have back pains... frequent headaches.. I have stomach pains and cramps... I've been feeling sick for a few days like I need to throw up but I don't... and sometimes when I stand up I get light headed and I have lots of CM which I never really have... if anyone had early signs like this and ended up pregnant please let me no.. THANKS

Go to your doctor. That is the only way for sure to find out what is going on. It is possible that something else is going on. Truthfully no one here can say for sure.

So get an appointment set up especially with a history of pregnancies and other problems. You will need to get the advice of a medical doctor, get it thoroughly checked out to rule out the obvious of either infection or any kind of pregnancy. Okay.

I am currently 8 DPO(days past ovulation) and I want to no when is a good time to take a HPT how many dpo should I be to take a HPT??

Some women will get an accurate result this early... most will have to wait until closer to when they are due for their next period or when their period is actually late. You could try, but if it is negative, it may truly be negative or it may be too early yet so you won't really know for sure. Try to give it several more days or see what happens with your period, if you can stand the wait.

Well if u seen my other post.. I pretty much ovulated rite after my period.. so for me to wait another 2 weeks would really drive me nutz...

Give a test a try... if it's negative... try another one in several more days. Good luck!

OK thanks a lot... but I think I'm going to wait until I am at least 12 DPO so I have a better chance of getting a better result and if that one comes out negative I'm going to wait a few more days after that..

Does anyone no if the HPT that u buy from the dollar store actually work? :confused: :)

I never heard of HPT being sold at a dollar store. Do you really want to take that chance?

I don't want to try it just in case of it gives me the wrong answer like if I were to be pregnant and then it shows up negative.. but I remember hearing someone use it and it did come up that they were pregnant... but I don't want to take the chance your righht!

I took one with all 3 kids and they are great work good

Yes they work. I have had a correct positive and a negative from my dollar tree tests.

And also how many DPO can u take a test I am now 10DPO?

I don't recommend that you take them DPO. Rather, you need to take them after the missed period. It takes a while for hCG to show up in your system and DPO is very early.

Remember, the first symptom of pregnancy is a missed period.

I used one with my son and it showed up like 2 days before my missed peroid.

thankss... then I guess I will try it... bcuz I find that HPT that u buy from the store they are a lot of money.. so if the ones at the dollar store work then.. I might as well try it out... = )

I took a pregnancy test before my period and it came up nagative, then I took it 5 days after my missed period and it came up positive. So I think you should wait or if your really worried about it go get blood test done.

I'm not worried at all I would be happy to be a mom... I will wait.. but something is telling me that I no I am.. because I have been pregnant twice and the symptoms I am having r the same... = )

Well have you ever heard of the HPT Early Response? I heard it is supposed to detect early pregnancy up to 4 days before your period.

Well I've had 5 clearblue digital hpt and the ones I've bought from the pound shop some have a very very faint line while others showed up negative I wouldn't recommend them I am due for my period 20 may 2008 and tested with clear blue on the 12 may 2008 the just to make sure again as I couldn't believe it I brought one from the pound shop and it came up negative.so no I won't be buying any more.

I mean I had 5 positive with clear blue digital sorry

My last period was on march the 26 its may the 19 and I still haven't gotten my period and the expenssive test are coming out negative I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but I guess all test are not 100% right all the time no matter how cheap or expensive it is.

My question is how long after implantation bleeding should I wait to test? I no that I am experiencing IB because I had a period may 3 for 5 days and 17 days later witch is now I am spotting really light... like a pinkish watery colour and some brownish colour... I am currently 13DPO and I wanted to no how long I should wait to test after IB??

Can someone please help me out.. I have irregular periods.. so I c ant test on the time I miss my period... so how many days weeks after IB should I test??

Please understand that implantation bleeding is not medically proven. You should try to test about when you think you should have had your period.

That's the problem I have irregular periods and I had some bleeding 17 days after my period and I have never had that happen ever..

Did you have intercourse around the time of the bleeding? Again, you are in the waiting zone unfortunately. You should probably try testing in a week or so.

Yes I did have intercourse around that time... do people usually get a positive on the day of IB or does it take a while for the HCG to go into your system??

If you had intercourse around the time of bleeding, the bleeding could have been caused by the intercourse. Remember that IB has not been medically proven. There are a number of reasons that women bleed around the implantation period that have nothing to do with implantation.

Look at it this way. The egg, when implanting, is microscopic. Something that small implanting does not cause bleeding or we would bleed with most any kind of infection.

Please read this sticky for the low down on implantation bleeding.

Today I took a HPT but I didn't take it in the morning... it was a very very faint line but I do c a line... when should I test again to get a better result?? could I test tomorrow in the morning to maybe gett a darker result?? :confused: :) :)

Usually a positive is a positive. Rarely is there a false positive. Try testing again in the morning.

thankx I'll do so.. I'll keep u updated if I am pregnant.. I really do hope I am... = )

It was really really lite and I wasn't sure if it is in my head but if a positive is a positive no matter how dark or lite it is.. but I will try in the morning hoping to get a better result...

I think you should test again with the first mornin urine if poss.. if your still not sure id recommend a digital test that will help with the confusion of faint line good luck

thankxxx = )

Today I posted that I had got a faint positive line... and my question was... is it still positive if it gets darker.. I had the same problem before and I found out I was pregnant!! And also I couldn't wait so I took another test and it also had a very light line and they both keep getting darker... does this mean I am pregnant?? :confused: please help very confused!! please and thank you

I'm sure the darker the ink, the more the urine has been exposed.. pee in a cup and dip. If it's a faint plus sign, I'd say the test came out positive.. go the doctor asap.

Any line no matter how faint you are pregnant. We all keep telling you this. Congrats!!

Its something to do wth how much hormone is in your urine. The longer you wait the more there will be, but yes a line is a line.
Congrats!xx

Remember that the results are only accurate for a certain time. Usually about 10 minutes. Anything result you get after ten minutes is not necessarily an accurate result.

Try the Clear Blue Easy tests, the one that uses the words "positive" or "negative." That way you will know for sure.

Okay so you 've done two tests with thin/visible lines-do you want us to retell you that you are pregnant? Go to the doc-get a blood test and find ot for sure if you still feel unsure..

I kept getting test like that and then I did clearblue that says pregnant not pregnant and it said pregnant and now I have a beautiful little girl

thankx everyone.. I am going tomorrow for blood work... and I will find out the results on Wednesday or Thursday... wish me luck!! = )

Absolutely. Too many think reading the test outside the proper use time means something.

Also, test first thing in the morning when hormones are most concentrated.

I find out in the morning tomorrow if I am.. yay!! = ) no more waiting...

I am going to get my blood results in tomorrow... I wanted to ask one more question.. how long after conception does it take for HCG to be found on a blood test.. I just want to ask because I don't no if I went in to early... even though I got a positive HPT... but if you can let me no I would really apreciate it thanks.. :)

Implantation has to occur prior to the hCG being able to show up in your blood. The production of hCG usually takes place a week or two after fertilization. So, the longer you wait, i.e. usually after a missed period, the better your chances.

I agree with J_9 my doctor told me to wait at least 5 days after my missed period to get an accurate results. If you didn't wait till after your missed period your doctor may suggest doing another test to be sure.

I had a fanit pos hpt so took a blood test and itb was negative that was a week before missed period but two days late took a clearblue and it said pregnant

I thought blood test fine the hcg faster then a HPT!!

That is what I thought to but it depends on what blood test they did

Well my doctor is doing the hcg level one to c if it goes up that's if I am... he said that he doesn't want to do the positive or negative one...

I have a problem... I went to take blood work and I got the results back today and they said it came back negative.. I don't understand I took 3 HPT and they came back positive.. and for the past few days I have been waking up needing to throw up... there is no other reason why I would be throwing up.. I think I went to do the blood work to early I have irregular periods... and I usually have my periods around the 3rd-10th of every month... is it to early that I tested could I still be pregnant? I just have this feeling that I am and that the blood results were wrong! :confused:

You may have taken it to early or you got false positives on your HPT. Go back to your doctor and tell him to redue the blood test.

You should go back to the doctors and ask for another blood test, but you should always hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Blood test normaly pick up even the slightest hormoan level change... but I wish you good luck~ suck with twins~

Thank you so much for the reply... im going to wait for 2 weeks to c if my period comes if not then I will no for sure that I need to go get blood work...

There may be another reason for elevated hormone levels-as above, get another test.

I took another test today BFP!! its looking good.. this showed up less then 2 minutes.. yay.. hoping to miss my AF next week!

That's good, good luck. I hope you the best ~suck with twins~

I took 4 test that show positive and 2 of them came after the 5 minutes... does anyone no if first response has evaporation lines.. and also I took a few other different brans some showed up I'm the time frame but 1 of them didn't... r there evaporation lines on first respose?? :confused:

Can someone please help me out I am so confused!! ::confused

15 threads merged as they ALL deal with the same thing!

Errrr: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pregnancy-new-motherhood/am-prego-154642.html??

After an abortion, your hormones level need some time to adjust back to normal levels. To answer your question regarding your pregnancy, you may need another ultrasound or a blood test to be able to accurately tell you. Best wishes.

i took 4 test that show positive and 2 of them came after the 5 mins ...does anyone no if first response has evaporation lines..and also i took a few other different brans some showed up im the time frame but 1 of them didnt ...r there evaporation lines on first respose???:confused:


If you got a positive in the allotted time, regardless of which brand it was, it is positive. Anything after that time will be suspect. It sounds like two of your tests were within the time allowed. If you have any question as to the accuracy, try one more test in a few days or ask your doctor for one in the office to confirm.

I had 4 that were positive before 5 minutes... but I hured that first response doesn't have evaporation lines... is it true?? because the other 2 I took I thought I seen a line in between the 5 minutes but I wasn't sure... evap lines or no in first response??

i had 4 that were positive b4 5 mins...but i hured that first response doesnt have evaporation lines...is it true???bcuz the other 2 i took i thought i seen a line in betwen the 5 mins but i wasnt sure ....evap lines or no in first response???


Any test may have them... if directions were followed for the particular test... how much urine, when to read the results, etc. you would not get an evaporation line that quickly.
