So I got the result of my second blood draw and it wasnt good. It went from 65 to 85 two days later. It's supposed to roughly double. My progesterone is really high though, not sure why. Think it may be bad news for me but I have a third draw tomorrow.

Thank you @Carportforme @Northernsoul90 good luck to you both for this month too xx

Sorry to hear of your loss @S4mmyj90 fingers crossed for you this month.

I hope you're getting on okay @Carportforme the limbo/testing and waiting is so stressful, everything crossed for you 🤞

Thank you. I had a HCG blood test yesterday and the level was ok but not great. Having another in a couple of days to see how its going. Having said that, I am beginning to think that I am a a couple of days further behind than I was thinking so hoping for good news, this is no fun but I have told myself that if I actually manage to get go 12 weeks Iand a scan shows all ok I will try and relax. That feels like a ling way ahead though at the moment x

Af just arrived (5 days late), so that makes this my second chemical pregnancy this year 😩

fingers crossed for you that you have happier news 🤞

Oh no, so sorry OchreBird. Really disappointing! I know you will be feeling really grotty right now so just sending huge virtual hugs x

@OchreBird So sorry to hear that 💐. It's so hard 😔look after yourself and take some time for yourself. Sending hugs

Just responded to your next message but I have just seen your tests. I can fully understand why you are anxious. My eyes aren’t the best but I agree they are a little faint. They look paler than mine if I’m honest but I am using First Response, which I would expect to be darker. I do hope we get through this week. Sending a virtual hug for your stress! X

Could I join? I suffered a chemical pregnancy in August. Fertile period coming up this weekend

Of course, welcome S4mmyj90 and sorry for your loss, good luck this month x

Fingers crossed for you that all is okay and it’s not another chemical! I’m in the same boat I think, very anxious

ohhh, we are both biting our nails then. Keeping everything crossed for us x

Morning ladies, seriously worried about this being another chemical. Progress from Saturday to today on FRER below. I know there has been some but I’m now 16/17 DPO. I’m getting so anxious!

OchreBird · 14/10/2024 14:14

Very concerned I might be going through another chemical pregnancy, my line progression is looking bad now, it looks like it’s been getting fainter the last couple of days so I’m fully expecting to bleed any day now 😞

I haven’t done any others To be honest and I’ve never been a big fan of FRER. I am wondering bracket hopefully bracket we thought I may have ovulated slightly later than I think. My chart suggested that I had ovulated and that on the Friday and last week I was 14 DPO but I did have extremely faint positives on Thursday, some pink CM on Friday and Saturday morning. The implementation window for my ovulation date should have officially closed on Wednesday so I’m wondering whether I had a second search although it’s not obvious from my temperature chart.

Oh and I did say I wasn’t going to test any more, but…

What are your other tests looking like? 16/17dpo is not that far ahead. You may have a slow rise

Thank you for the input I really appreciate it <3 last time I didn’t have any line progression at all so I’m feeling cautiously hopeful :) think I will wait until next weekend (20dpo) maybe before celebrating just in case

@OchreBird I have decided not to test any more at all. When I had my Chemical I was testing every two days and my tests were getting darker. I got to the last day I was going to test, as i was going to be exactly 5 weeks on the following day, and the test was suddenly stark white not a shadow to be seen. It didnt even stop progressing or fade, i started bleeding the following day.
Testing is just stressing me out. I saypw decent progression between 12 and 14 dpo and I'm going to leave it there. I am finding that I am already getting realky anxious, even though the symptoms are setting in!
I think they call it a Chemical up go five weeks loss because it is too small yo be viewed on ultrasound. After that it can be seen with an internal ultrasound and they therefore seem the pregnancy clinical.
Everything crossed for us all x

Plumchumm · 12/10/2024 13:04

Tentative congratulations. When I had a chemical, I barely got past the 'expected period date' before I bled, think it was 16dpo, so I would be 2 days past my period date.
I think if there's progression past 1 week late, then that generally is a good sign. Some girls will do digital and feel more calmer once they see 3+ weeks. Or even 1-2 weeks, going to 2-3.
Your line progression looks good though. Wishing you best of luck!

Hi everyone!

I hope you don’t mind me joining here <3 I had either false positives (blue dye tests so maybe evap lines), or a chemical pregnancy back in April. My husband and I were so excited, and I told my mum etc, then AF came about a week later, we were devastated.

My cycles are really irregular and I am currently having tests done for possible PCOS (as both of my sisters have PCOS and uterus didelphys and I’ve always had weird cycles and other symptoms). Amazingly, I’ve had positive tests (quite faint but getting a little bit stronger each day) over the last few days (11dpo,12dpo, and today which is 13dpo) on red dye tests.

However after getting excited early and being absolutely crushed earlier on in the year, I’m trying to hold back on getting too excited. I was wondering if any of you know at what dpo roughly the chance of a chemical pregnancy reduces? I’m trying to work out if there’s a certain day where I can start to get excited without getting crushed again, should I wait until I get a dye stealer? Or am I being overly cautious?

Ooh so hoping for both of us that things progress well. Congratulations to you and welcome to this scary but hopeful and supportive thread x

Morning all, tentative good news from me today. Think I am about 14 dpo but wondering if I may have surged and then surged again a few days later without realising. Had pink spotting yesterday and thinking that 14 dpo is well outside the implantation window which is why I think ovulation may have occurred slightly later than I thought. Anyway, sore boobs today…

Fingers crossed for you that you see some good line progression in the next few days :) <3
