Positive tests but no baby

I have now had 6 positive tests, however when I went for a scan they were unable to see anything from either an abdominal or internal scan. 2 of these tests were taken whilst I was there (and positive).

I do take promethazine which can cause false positives however would it cause this many?

I do not feel pregnant at all and witb the date of my last period I should be around 6 weeks.

I am absolutely petrified of potential ectopic pregnancy. I have an appointment on Friday for a scan and bloods, I’ve had no pain etc or bleeding.

any help would be appreciated!

I really don’t know, I’m clutching at straws, the idea of a potential ectopic and surgery terrifies me

No, but i don’t take it daily. I was unsure if it would make every single test a false positive. Sorry if I’m not making much sense I’m incredibly stressed

But at 6w they should be able to see something, even just an empty sac. As someone who has had so many early scans due to miscarriages, if you’re testing positive they should see something. The only time they haven’t is when I had an ectopic. I don’t think you can really know until after the results from the 2nd bloods come through. They did mine at the scan when they couldn’t see anything, got the results a few hrs later, then they repeated 48hrs and hadn’t quite doubled. They did this every 2days until they found the ectopic.

I regularly take Promethezine and I have never had a false positive.
Surely if you've worked out you would be 6 weeksthat means you haven't had a period for 8 weeks - did I understand that correctly?
If you've not had a period for 8 weeks and you've got a few positive pregnancy tests - surely must be pregnant? 🤔

I don't get it - surely it's just cos of this?

Yes, surely it’s because of this? I don’t understand what you mean by ‘this many’. Did you stop taking it for a while so it’s out of your system and still tested positive?

I’m waiting for them on Friday but I’m now absolutely terrified of what it could be if not pregnant

I mean, presumably it would be the promethazine? Because you're taking that and it can give false positives?
