what happens to this chemical pregnancy?

I had a positive test on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and started having some pregnancy symptoms, but now the tests have gone negative and I'm having cramps almost all the time. Boobs are still hurting, but not so much now.

Will it come out, or will it happen with the next period? I'm not due on until early December.

You'll probably get a period now, lots of peopledont realise they've been pregnant & just think it's a late period. They only tend to be noticed when you are ttc.

Do you mean you have taken another test or that the original tests no longer have a pregnant sign? I have had cramping since about 3 weeks pregnant with this pregnancy but an early scan showed everything to be fine so cramps are not always bad news.

No, my subsequent tests are now negative. I've done a few because I was panicking about being pregnant.

Are they all the same type of test? I'm really sorry you're going through this the not knowing what will happen is the worst. X

Sorry I am confused, you say you are not due on until early december, that does not make sense, how did you get a positive test now if you are not expecting af for over another 2 weeks?

I have had several chemical pregnancies and really they can seem like just a late af. Some have been a little heavier, some a little lighter than normal, but nothing concerning.

You ask will it all come out or will it come out with the next period: well the loss of the chemical pregnancy is your next period, it may just be a day or so late. It is the sheading of the lining as usual in your period.

Also as already asked - are you testing with the same tests, as some tests are more sensitive than others, so if you tested with a very sensitive test on thursday, it could be that your hormone levels are not yet doubled high enough to be picked up with a non-sensitive test. Cramps are normal in early pregnancy too. Using sensitive test, my period has arrived the day that my tests went negative. So if you are using sensitive tests, I guess your period should arrive very soon (hense my confusion over you saying that your period is not until december.)

I hope that this helps .

I started what I thought was my period last monday. It was extremely light and stopped after about three days. I then started having very sore breasts and thought that something was up, so I did the test which came back positive.

I'm not due my next period until about 5th December.

I used Sainsburys tests and one First Response test.

I think you should test again using Fmu as if the rest you did that was neg was done later in day after lots to drink then it could have diluted your hcg levels. At least if you do this using a sensitive test you will know where you stand. Xx
