I think I know how this is going to go, but it would be nice to hear from other ladies who have endured similar experiences.
First, a bit of background info...
We have two kids, our 11 year old daughter and our 8 year old son. My husband is 32 and I'm 31, we had our children young.
Over the last couple of years I have been ridiculously broody on and off. It'll be all consuming for a month or so and then it's like common sense hits and I realise how lucky I am to have my two healthy kids and it goes to the back of my mind again. This year has been different. I'm desperate for one more child. I want a big family, I want the chaos at dinnertimes and everything that comes with starting all over again.
Both of my children were conceived in the first month of trying and I thought that would happen again. We started to try in March this year and nothing happened and nothing in April. My husband then had to work away so things took a back seat until October. My period came on the 20th October and we began trying as soon as it finished.
With my two kids, there were no apps or tracking ovulation, we just did it and I think, as helpful and insightful as these things can be, they also seemed (for me) to pile on pressure and stress!
Anyway, last Monday night I had a horrible sickness bug and I stayed asleep all day Tuesday and felt rotten all day Wednesday. I work in a school so sickness bugs are part of the territory! On Wednesday evening, I thought I'd try to see if an ovulation stick could pick up a potential pregnancy as I had read they could. It came up very much positive. I doubt I could have been ovulating so late in my cycle. I tried again Thursday and Friday morning with the same result. So on my way back from work I picked up a sainsburys pregnancy test, or 4, and tested. It was a definite positive. This was one day before my period was due. Later that night, I tested again and it was still positive, though this time there was very slight signs of bloody cm. Yesterday, the days period was due, I was at the hospital all day withy son, while I was there I popped to the loo and found I was bleeding. The same amount I would during the first day of my period. Red as well as brown blood when I wiped. I only had a tampon with me so used that. A few hours later we finally got home and when I went to the toilet the tampon only had brown, old looking blood on it and not much. The only blood I saw last night and so far today is the brown looking blood you get at the end of your period. It's only when I wipe and go a bit 'up there' (sorry!). I did a test last night and this morning and they are both very much positive. I have been experiencing mild cramping since Friday. I also feel nauseous but this could be because I'm worried about this, rather than morning sickness.
I'm sure that I have suffered a chemical pregnancy. But have bought pregnacare just incase. I also bought 4 more tests to do over the next few days to see when the hcg will reduce so I get a negative.
If anyone else suffered a chemical pregnancy, how long did it take for a negative result? Or, and I'm trying not to give used false hope here, has anyone bled like this during what would be your normal period time and gone on to have a successful pregnancy?
I'm kicking myself because if I'd waited one more day I would have assumed it was just my normal period and would have saved myself so much upset!
