hey all i have no clue what to do here first off i have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years now and had 1 miscarriage 2 years ago but i took a home test last night because i had many symptoms (and it takes alot for me to take a test after so many times seeing them keep satying no its kinda tiring) but of course it said no no doubt about that
but today i got into a VERY VERY minor car crash where someone at my sons school rear ended me there is no damage whatsoever to either and it even took me a minute to realize i had even been hit but now2 hours later i'm starting to spot and i guess it could be my cycle but its just kinda weird that i would start spotting 1-2 hours after that so i guess my question is has anyone had anything similar happen n what dd you do?
A.,
It could be your cycle, but sometimes you can be pregnant and the results still show negative. If you go into a full fleged period, I wouldnt worry about it, but if you dont, I would recommend you go see your OB/GYN doctor just to make sure. :)
I don't think a tap on the bumper that didn't damage either car would cause a miscarriage; it's probably just coincidence that you started spotting.
A little advice from someone who has been there? It sounds to me like you are constantly thinking about the next baby, and it is ruling your mind. I understand, because I had two miscarriages between our two boys, and I was totally where you are. Every month I thought I might be pregnant, and every period was a crushing blow. We did eventually have another son (5 years between, 3 years of trying) with no complications. I drove myself crazy for those three years. I'm a control freak, and it really got to me that this was out of my hands.
The best advice I can give you is to enjoy the life you have. Yes, work with a fertility specialist, but try not to let it take over your life. You have a son who needs his whole mommy, and these years are precious with him. Love him and enjoy him, and if #2 is meant, it will happen. Unfortunately you can't control when. What you CAN do is see a fertility specialist, and pray--and not just for another baby; pray also that you can accept and enjoy your current one-child family. It's not what you had planned, but it's still awesome.
It sounds like the pregnancy test was negative right? Chances are, it's just your cycle starting. I don't think that something so minor would be the cause of a miscarriage. It sounds like you've been trying for a really long time to conceive. I would agree with the other ladies, it's time to consult your doctor. They should be able to run some fairly simple tests for you to see if there is a hormonal problem. They may even refer you to a specialist. I'm guessing that you're actively charting your cycle and testing for ovulation, but if you're not, start! It can be a big help. There are lots of websites out there to help.
I would suggest getting checked by the Dr. I had spotting when I had a tubal pregnancy. So it's best to get it checked. Had negative weird results on pregnancy but the tubal was there.
My other thought was experience I had with a chiropractor. I had irregular periods. He did an adjustment to help with a tilted uterus. Low and behold my period stared that night! I wonder that the jolt could have brought on your cycle.
Again - I would recommend getting checked just to be safe!
Given how minor your car accident was, I'd be very surprised if it has anything to do with your spotting or potentially causing a miscarriage. Babies are very safe inside the uterus from outside minor trauma like that. Although I can completely understand the anxiety that spotting causes - especially when you've been trying so long and have had a previous miscarriage.
With my 2 pregnancies that ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks, there unfortunately wasn't anything my doc could do. I'm not sure how early you are in your pregnancy (I was a little confused - I'm assuming your pregnancy test came back positive?), but if you are less than 6 weeks pregnant (based on the first day of your last menstrual cycle) there is very little that they'll be able to see via ultrasound. The chances of seeing a heartbeat prior to 6 weeks are very small, most likely only a yolk sac can be seen and even if they see it, it won't tell you whether or not you're having a miscarriage. Most likely your doc would only do an HcG test (blood work) to see what your levels are. Even then, that doesn't tell you much other than that you are pregnant. They would probably check them again in a couple days to make sure the number doubled or nearly doubled.
Have you considered getting any testing done to look into why it's taking you so long to conceive? Since it's been 2 years since your miscarriage, I would suggest doing some preliminary testing just to rule out any obvious problems that could be easily treated. It's so hard when it takes so long - my heart goes out to you. After my 2 m/c my docs said "well at least you know you can get pregnant", so we never pursued any testing until a couple of years had passed. It was a long journey but after 4 1/2 years of trying, I'm now 25 weeks pregnant. I wish you much luck and success!
for safety and ease of stress and peace of mind, I would call your doctor, tell them you are spotting and you had a minor car accident. I am sure they will send you for an ultrasound to make sure things are fine. With my last pregnancy I had spotting, everything was fine. I was nervous too because the pregnancy before that I lost the baby, our little boy. blessings.
go see your dr even minor crashes can cause a miscarriage.spotting is usually a sign.and some woman have cycles even when pregnant.dont guess.go to the drs
