OK...I need some MN advice and reassurance.
Discovered last week that I am pregnant again. Have had 3 MCs but not consecutive - after the first 2, had a successful pg, which is now my lovely 2.5 yr old DS. So I am a bit nervous, to say the least.
Went to GP today and she sent me to the EPU because of my history and because I had some spotting the day I got the BFP. I was not actually that worried about the spotting, having had this with my successful pregnancy anyway.
At the EPU, they did a scan and couldn't see anything at all. They said this was either because it was too early still (I put myself at about 4 weeks - have long cycle but think conceived about 2 wks ago), or because an early MC had occurred, or maybe it could be ectopic.
Then they did a urine test which was negative. I was totally shocked. They said this indicated early miscarriage but it was hard to tell. I was stunned. Then they took blood for the 48 hr HCG test, so I have to call back tonight for those results, then go in on Thu to have more bloods taken.
Anyway, on the way home, of course, I went to Boots and bought another digital ClearBlue test, which has come up POSITIVE, 1-2 weeks - which seems about right. I did a ClearBlue test last Friday, which was also positive, 1-2 weeks.
So...what do people think?? Can I be cautiously optimistic - thinking that it is early days anyway so the scan showing nothing is not that bad news, and the negative test they did was an anomaly, since I have done 5 (yes, FIVE) positive tests, one of which was after their negative test? Or should I start preparing myself for the inevitable miscarriage?
Sorry this is so long. Am a bit confused and all over the place.
