I had a miscarriage 6 wks ago due to low progesterone and I haven't had a period yet. My periods are irregular & I have a hx of low progesterone. I'm urinating more, feel bloated all over, have cramps in my lower back @ times, increase vaginal d/c (no itching, burning, ect...), areola is larger than normal & there are bumps on my areola, my breast feel larger, bad nasal congestion (I get bad congestion while pregnant), & feel like my blood sugar is low @ times, even after eating. Could I be pregnant? I haven't taken a test yet, I'm scared I'll see a negative result.

Hi bm,

It is POSSIBLE (about 15-20% chance) for you to be preg, but I doubt it. I believe MOST of the symptoms you are experiencing are due to the POST-HORMONAL effects of the recent miscarriage; this can last up to 4-8 wks following a miscarriage. But I still advise you to do a Home Preg Test (as soon as you muster the courage)...you may be lucky!

KEEP THE FAITH--you'll get there (my wife & I tried for 6 years before conceiving; now we have 3 beautiful kids!)

Best Wishes for your Health!
