Hi,
I'm really sorry for the length of this post, but would really really appreciate it if someone would read it anyway. I'm confused and anxious about it all.
I started to bleed on the morning of 6th November at 5 weeks pregnant. There was a lot of clotting but only small ones and the bleeding had mostly stopped by the next afternoon. By the next day there was just a little brownish discharge.
I had had sore breasts from only a few days after ovulation probably took place and just felt *different* in the same way I did when pregnant with my son (now 4). These feelings were almost gone by the day after the bleeding started and I took a pregnancy test on the 14th to see if hCG levels were low enough by then to not register on the high sensitivity tests. I got a very clear negative.
My partner currently lives in the US and flew straight back when I started to miscarry and was here the following day. We had sex the day after that because the bleeding had stopped and it felt natural to be close in that way to connect and comfort emotionally. He had to leave on the evening of 15th to go back to work, so the last time we had sex was 9.5 days after the miscarriage began.
I know the first day of bleeding acts as the equilavent of LMP date, and sperm can survive for up to at least 72 hours max. Yesterday my breasts began to feel tender and a little swollen again and today they are very sore and sort of tingly and the veins stand out (from the skin near the nipple, and just in colour on the rest of the breasts). The sensation is actually quite a bit stronger than when I was pregnant earlier this month, they just aren't as swollen. I also just feel strange.
The only other thing I could realistically attribute this to is an early period, but that short a cycle after hCG levels falling makes even less biological sense than being pregnant again, and my breasts are only ever so slightly tender the day or 2 before my period. I have been getting very mild period style cramps since this afternoon and a slight metallic taste in the back of my throat like when pregnant before.
It's upsetting me because it feels kind of like my body is messing with me. The baby was a surprise (we had one night of unprotected sex - the first time we ever had), but once we'd talked it all through and become used to the idea it was very much wanted. While my partner was here we decided we would actually like to *try* for a baby when he returns in March.
I guess really I'd just like opinions on whther you think it's possible I could be pregnant again so fast, and if not then what might be going on. It would make absolute sense for symtoms to continue for a while after the loss, but not for them to go completely for 2 weeks then return just as strong as ever.
I am far to anxious about it all to tolerate just waiting and seeing without talking it through with others who have had similar experiences.
I'd really appreciate any response. Thank you.
