There isn't any reason to take a cycle off unless it would give you peace of mind. The next cycle might be a bit wonky (mine was) but, hopefully, that isn't the case for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208873 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 13:13:54 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2208873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A doctor not knowing anything about a tubal pregnancy sounds very alarming, especially if the nurse told you to ask about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208870 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 13:12:40 +0000 travellingbee 2208870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ksnow: The doctor didn't know anything about tubal pregnancies?! Whoa. What medical school did he go to? I'm sorry you are going through this, but it sounds like your body is doing what it needs to do and you should be back to normal soon. Lots of hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208859 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 13:02:59 +0000 ksnow 2208859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. This was my first CP. </p> <p>I ended up calling the nurses line (military insurance) to check in, and they wanted me to go in right away. They referred me to a urgent care center and unfortunately it was a waste of time...The Doctor was like "So what do you want to do, take one of our pregnancy tests? Maybe your tests were false positives." I told him the nurses line mentioned checking for tubal pregnancy and he's said "I don't know anything about that."</p> <p>I am RH positive so don't have to worry about that.</p> <p>I didn't bother asking him about TTC next cycle or waiting.</p> <p>Anyway they did a urine test (looked like cheap walmart version) and it was negative so looks like my levels are zeroing out which hopefully indicates my cycle is returning to normal quickly... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208754 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 11:53:47 +0000 Sunshine1810 2208754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call your doctor to see what their preference is. When I had my chemical I was told not to try right after and wait a cycle, but I know doctors can feel differently about this. I am sorry for your loss! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208692 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 11:10:21 +0000 Alivoo01 2208692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry for your loss. You can call the dr if you want (or if this is a repeat (hope not!), but I think just letting your cycle roll should be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208610 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:16:06 +0000 Keybee 2208610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss! Call your Dr. If you have a negative RH factor you'll need a rogam shot. Its also nice to jus be able to ask them your questions.<br /> Take it easy and get lots of rest! ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208608 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:13:17 +0000 CObee 2208608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ksnow: I'm so sorry honey. :( the same thing happened to me two months ago. My tests never got darker and I started bleeding (a full, normal period) 2 days after my first bfp. I was still getting light positives as I was bleeding so I went in for betas. They were very low but were actually doubling at first- I got a pretty dark test maybe a week later, but then they started decreasing and I bled AGAIN :( so mine dragged on. I'd definitely keep testing and if they aren't bfn soon I'd go in for a blood test, just to see what's going on. We started trying again right away. Supposedly you are more fertile after a mc, so I have faith that you'll be back with a sticky baby really soon!! Sorry again for your loss &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208580 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:52:29 +0000 mrsjyw 2208580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ksnow: I'm so sorry! :( I had almost the exact same experience. I booked an appt with the OB just in case, but he said no big deal and to TTC right away as long as we both felt comfortable. (I had a BFP on 12/13 dpo, BFN by 16 dpo and started AF later that day). HUGS! and :goodluck: in TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208558 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:30:18 +0000 Truth Bombs 2208558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Yup. She tends to be overly cautious. At the time it was a bummer to wait but I'm glad I did. I know if I got pregnant right away and something happened again I would have blamed myself, so it was best for me to wait from a mental health perspective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208552 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:27:18 +0000 travellingbee 2208552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: they had you take a month off after a chemical? Interesting. My RE cleared me right away. After my miscarriage at 6+ weeks they told me to wait a month but not my chemical.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208549 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:25:20 +0000 travellingbee 2208549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With a chemical that early, your HCG is back down to zero around when you start bleeding. Your next cycle will probably be normal or close to it. It was for me that early. There is nothing doctor can do at this point. However, often doctors want to run a beta test to rule out ectopic, just in case. (With your fading lines it sounds like it's just a chemical, though.) so it's totally up to you if you want the blood test or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208539 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:17:42 +0000 Truth Bombs 2208539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call. My doc wanted to test my beta until it went to zero, and then had me take a month off before we tried again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208518 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:03:26 +0000 Anya 2208518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. You can call your doctor if you'd like, I've seen some people on here whose doctors have run betas for a chemical. But if you would prefer not to, I think that's fine, unless you were to have any further symptoms or pain that is concerning. I haven't had a chemical myself but my understanding is that you might have a heavier than normal period and possibly an off cycle next as your body regulates. Good luck. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208513 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:01:33 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2208513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same thing in October. I didn't call, but I planned to if things didn't seem to be "normal". I had a normal cycle in October, BFN despite TTC right away, but got my sticky BFP the next month in November! Almost 32 weeks now. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208510 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:58:55 +0000 catomd00 2208510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't call with my CP, but we weren't trying and weren't planning to try again right away anyways. Do what you're comfortable with. My period that cycle and the next were definitely "different" (tmi - heavier and clottier) but after that went back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208508 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:57:05 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2208508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call just as a precaution. I had 2 chemical pregnancies and 2 missed miscarriages. So I always call to be on the safe side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-after-a-chemical-pregnancy#post-2208506 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:56:20 +0000 ksnow 2208506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I got a BFP on 12 &amp; 13 DPO. 15 DPO had a fainter line, and today 16 DPO my period started (didn't POAS). Do I need to go the doctor to have them check anything or can I just let my period run its course? </p>
