If I Miscarried, How Long Until At Home Kit Shows Neg? Posted: 08-03-05 10:41am
Hi guys...First time poster scared out of
her mind!
I had a miscarriage and d&c in march
of this year and just recently found out
that I am preg. Again.
I've been to the doctor for two blood test
and they said my hormones levels were
good.
I'm not scheduled for my first us until
aug 16.
I know that you can miscarry and not even
realize it, so i'm concerned becuase I
dont have any overwhelming symptoms other
that being dog tired all the time. My
breasts are a bit sore, but not all the
time and the area around my nipples looks
bigger one day then smaller then next.
I have headaches and I am ravenous all day
long.
I had some very light cramping the first
few weeks, which i've been assured is
completely normal.
It just seems wierd that I have no nasau
or sickness, I do get weak if I dont eat,
but not that bad,
i guess I am just driving myself nuts and
I dont know if i'll make through the next
two weeks until my us.
I'm wondering if I took an at home test,
if I had miscarried and not known it would
it show neg yet?
I am eight weeks this week.
Tia!!!!

Hey there!
If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it
lol. Consider no sickness and no sore
breasts a blessing! If you had
miscarried, you would have bled alot and
known. I know what you are going
through... I took a preg test
yesterday just to make sure I will still
pregnant lol. I havent bled or
anything, but I havent been sick and my
chest hasnt been sore. My last
pregnancy which ended at 8 weeks, I was
sick as a dog starting at week 6 and my
breasts hurt pretty much a week after I
concieved. I am now somewhere between
5-7 weeks along (we arent sure because my
last period was irregular), my breasts are
just starting to feel a little sore, I am
more tired, I pee all the time.. But
still not sick! I am showing already,
but they said it was because this is my
second pregnancy.
Keeping my fingers cross that you and I
have easy pregnancies!
<3 jess

Calm down please
i never was so worried I would miscarry.
And I went thru it 6 times. Every time I
got preg I hoped for the best until... I
began to miscarry.
I enjoyed every minute and the expectation
of a little life was just too over
whelming to think on the other stuff.
Then even when I did begin to bleed or
cramp id lay there just hoping all would
be okay. Praying to god everything would
be okay. Hope against all hope every
minute. Fighting fighting fighting.
Good luck and god bless you both

Hi there! Congratulations! 1st thing,
try not to worry(i know, easier said than
done) I was the same way, I miscarried,
then got pregnant again and everything was
o.K. Just be thankful you are not having
morning sickness, every pregnancy is not
the same, please make sure you eat healthy
and take your pre-natal vitamins. Light
cramping is normal.
Keep us posted on how things are going.
We are here for you!

I was reading somewhere that morning
sickness is a combination of the hormone
levels and empty stomach. I remember I
never really got morning sickness that
much until 3rd month. I think that is
when they say the hormone levels are the
highest and that is prolly why, after that
they taper off and do not get any higher
through the whole pregnancy.
Like I said I dint get morning sickness
until then, except a few times with eating
certain foods--and those same foods upset
my stomache the whole pregnancy.
I remember anything with tomatoe sause,
spaghetti sause, tomatoe soup...
Another things that bothered me was ice
tea on an empty stomach and I believe that
was really bad.

Congrats on the nausea- that means your
hormones are strong. Just a tip when I
was preg my prenatal vitamins made me want
to hurl. My doc said I could take 2
flinstones with iron vitamins aand it
really helped!
