So, have been TTC for years. Now in mid 30s. Got pregnant in early 20s but miscarried at 10 weeks. Then got pregnant on first round of IVF but miscarried again at 10 weeks. FET number 2 and 3 failed. Miraculous natural pregnancy 2 years ago, ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks and ERCP.
Since then we've had a break from IVF and bouyed on by our natural success 2 years ago, we've been back to trying naturally since.
I seem to have expereinced a phantom pregnancy and now feel so deeply embassassed. I had a cycle that lasted 43 days, which is very unusual for me. POS tests were negative but was feeling exhuasted, sick, mild cramping. So much so that I went to the doctors and she agreeded to do a blood test for hcg levels. That too has come back negative. Weirdly, between going to the doctors for a blood test and getting the result, I have started to bleed like I was miscarrying - pain, clots, bright red blood.
So my question is, has anyone else expereinced this?
I feel like I want to concieve so badly that my body is tricking me. How the f**k do I stop this? My GP said not to worry about wasting her time, when she gave me the negative result but I'm scared for my mental health that my mind can fabricate all this.
I think my DH and my mum think I'm absolutely nuts. They were sympathetic when they thought I was having an actual miscarriage but now they probably think that I made it all up, which I genuinely didn't. I fel so utterly out of control of my own body.
