Just looking for some support really, don't think anyone can give me any answers. I'm quite confused as to what has happened. We'd not been using contraception, hoping for our second baby at some point. I got a BFN around 24th Jan so thought I was out for the month, think I ovulated mid month. Then got my period as normal and exactly on time. Then on Mon I got severe pains in my lower abdomen, started bleeding bright red blood, because I was sure I wasn't pregnant I thought could be anything from appendicitis to ovarian cyst to ectopic pregnancy, was very scared and unsure whether to go to hospital. After a couple of hours of basically contractions I passed something, maybe a blood clot or maybe not, and the pain eased off. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I've been really sore and swollen for a few days. GP sent me to A&E and then EPU for blood tests. I have Hcg of 580, going for another blood test this morning to see if it's gone up or down. I am 90% certain I was 4 or 5 weeks and have lost my baby, I can't see how it could be anything else. Took another test last night and still a strong positive although I know that doesn't mean anything as it can take time for hormones to leave your system. I'm trying to assume the worst so as not to get my hopes up but I can't help feeling a little bit hopeful, they said my cervix was closed when I was examined. But what other explanation could there be for what happened? Hoping I can get some clarity today one way or another. To the other women going through this right now, it is so hard, I feel for you all.
