    Pregnant or just hoping ?
    :confused:

    Help please, I had a miscarrage 31 days ago, I was so gutted as we had been trying, since then we have been trying again , although some say to wait we choose not to, however when I was on my pill I used to be regular 25 days ish, it has now been 31 since miscarrage and I have been doing test after test all come back negative. The only thing I feel is shattered , bloated some times and I've been ratty in last week , is there a chance my hcg levels aren't high enough yet to pick up or am I just wanting this so bad?

    Women's experiences of miscarriage differ. For some, a miscarriage may occur within the first three to four months of pregnancy. If there are no complications — such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, vaginal odor, fever, or even continued pregnancy symptoms — sexual activity can resume two to three weeks afterwards. For others, a miscarriage may take place in the last five months of pregnancy. If this is the case, a woman needs to wait at least six weeks. Regardless of when the miscarriage occurs, women are advised to have a gynecological exam before having sexual intercourse again. The reason is that after a miscarriage, a woman is more susceptible to infection because the uterus and cervix remain partially dilated. If a woman is exposed to bacteria before the healing process is complete, the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina could potentially become infected. It's also possible that bleeding can reoccur.

    If you've already had intercourse, and did not visit your gynecologist before doing so, it's suggested to have a check-up as soon as possible to ensure that you're healthy and not experiencing any complications.

    It takes a while for our bodies to recover from miscarriage. While you may be pregnant, you also may not. The only way to know for sure is a positive blood test. It may take a while for your period to come back.
