Please help I’m in a panic chemical pregnancy

Hi everyone

I had a miscarriage 6 weeks ago at 7 weeks, i then got pregnant again before I got a period, I tested on Saturday at 10DPO it was positive, tested at 11DPO only slightly darker if at all, tested yesterday at 12DPO and it was lighter! It wasn’t FMU it was after a coffee at 11am but it definitely wasn’t darker than 10DPO test. I then convinced myself I’m having a chemical pregnancy and have been a wreck, I got a darker result this morning at 13DPO which was reassuring as it was darker than the 10DPO test, but still feel my results are not looking good as there was a drop today and now I’m having back ache and stomach period like cramps. I’m just feeling so devastated that it’s a chemical after just having a loss. I added photos, I had to throw out yesterday’s one as I was obsessing over it and so upset.

I have seen all the posts on here about tests not changing a lot and non of them ended in anything but a chemical.

Let me know how you get on, fingers crossed! My doctor won’t give me progesterone even though I desperately want it. If/when I lose this one, I’ll be trying to get it next. I ovulated on day 19-21 so not right. X

Be amazing if I could skip forward 3 weeks! Or maybe 10!!

I started on low dose aspirin. It’s not prescribed but I have APS and I can’t wait around to see if it will be another loss.

im confused whether I should take it so sticking to 75 even though the guidance suggests 150….just dreading it

best of luck xx

Big hug … it sucks. We over analyse drive our selves max when there is nothing to do but wait it out.

im 11 days post ovulation, very faint positive test. Had a chemical last month and three miscarriages before then. I’m here frantically searching just like you. Don’t have the answer but have some solidarity.

When is your period due? As you’re 13 DPO it can’t be too long?

Okay, should I now just wait for blood results and get them again in 48 hours or test again when period is due?

OP, I mean this kindly, but step away from the tests. You have posted several times about whether it’s a chemical and the reality is no one will know until it’s time for your period.

You have been through a horrible time recently with your loss and worrying about this is more stress for you. I know how desperate you become when you’re TTC but my advice to you is stop doing tests before your period is due. As tempting as it is, I never did early pregnancy tests because I didn’t want to know if I had a chemical. I suspect I had one last month actually but to protect myself from that stress, I waited until the day after my period to test.

Please take it easy

Thank you! Just having agonising back pain too and now feeling so sick. I’m preying it sticks. Thanks for replying all the chemicals posted look a bit like mine so hard not to over analyse

Sorry I meant barely lighter than the 10 dpo, not 11. 🍀

isitaline97 · 21/03/2023 01:05

Try not to worry OP your 13 dpo test looks great! Like you said if it wasn't fmu on 12 dpo and you had a drink it's probably just a watered down sample you collected. The 12 dpo one is barely lighter than the 11. Try not to panic! I know it's difficult. Best thing to do is just keep calm and retest tomorrow with a strong FMU sample. Stress won't do you any good whatever the outcome. Best of luck 🤞
