QuestionHi! I am 8 1/2 weeks post natural m/c. Three days ago the hpt's started showing negative (& are still neg as of three hrs ago). Today i am nauseated, have extremly sore breasts with some leakage ( clear & sticky), and hot flashes. Are these signs my period is about to come or should i be concerned? Thanks for your time. I've asked other questions out here, & i have to say your answers seem to be pretty right on. Thank You!!
AnswerHello Dawn
The sore breasts, nausea and hot flushes are typically hormonal symptoms. It could be that you are either ovulating or you have pre-menstrual symptoms.
I am a little concerned about the leakage from your nipples (although this can happen if you have a big hormonal surge, but it's best to be cautious). This could be a sign of infection so just keep an eye on that. If it doesn't clear within a few days or you find that the discharge changes colour, turns smelly and/or bloody then see a doctor as soon as possible.
One other thing comes to mind. Have you had unprotected sex since the miscarriage? If so, could you possibly be pregnant? It can take a matter of 24hrs to change a pregnancy test!
Keep an eye on your symptoms. If you find after about a week that your symptoms are still apparent with no appearance of your period, I would try another pregnancy test. Hormonal surges can happen after a miscarriage, it's your bodys way of getting back to normal!
Hope this has helped.
Kindest Regards
Sarah
