Another chemical?

56 replies

Panda34 · 26/01/2025 20:23

I've had 2 chemical pregnancies in the last 2 cycles since ttc baby no2, feeling a bit fed up and not sure if it's happening again this month. I've used wondfo strips rather than easy@home which is what I'd been using before so hard to compare to previous months

What do we think? This is 9dpo-13dpo

@UserL95 ah that's great news! Yes it is possible that you could have ovulated earlier. Will you have any more bloods now?

I've done another wondfo today which was about the same as yesterday. I have one more digital left which I'm tempted to do tomorrow but scared in case it still says 1-2 and ruins my day!! I've booked a scan but it's not until the end of next week which seems ages away, but at least should give us an answer of how things are looking

@Panda34 got my third beta back at 56 which is a 63% increase!!! Still very low but still increasing which I’m trying to hold on to. I thought my betas were 14DPO 25 17dpo 34 19dpo 56…. But due to such low numbers I’m wondering if I actually ovulated later in my cycle than I thought? For now I’m glad that the percentage increase is much better though even though the numbers are so small.

have you tested any more? How are you doing? X

@UserL95 kind of, just worrying that the digital hasn't progressed. I did one last Tuesday that also said 1-2. The easy@home are still lighter but I've given up on them as the wondfo are really dark so don't know what ones right!

Well that's good that your hcg had gone up, got my fingers crossed that your next one is higher 🙏🏻 it's so confusing with different tests saying different things isn't it.

Hi @Panda34
im glad your lines are getting darker - does that feel like a bit of a relief? The digital tests are an interesting one - was it the first time you did a digital?

My hcg wasn’t amazing to be honest. I got 25 at 14/15dpo and then 34 at 17/18dpo. I repeated hcg again yesterday at 19/20dpo but waiting for results. I’m still getting faint lines on easy at home, proper lines on clear blue and first response. And today I am 5weeks. Not allowing myself to get too upset or too excited about anything yet. I’m not bleeding so that means for now I am pregnant. Praying for a miracle and that yesterdays beta hcg gives better numbers :(

Hi @UserL95 how are you getting on? Did you get your second hcg result?

My wondfo are now dark but still got 1-2 weeks on a digital this morn which is 23dpo or 5+2 weeks, should really be 3+ by now but was hoping for at least a 2-3 weeks

OP posts:

UserL95 · 02/02/2025 21:42

@Panda34 im so pleased to hear you got some dark wondfo lines on 2 consecutive days! What dpo are you now or are you counting it in pregnancy weeks/days now?

I am now 17/18dpo but my natural cycles app puts me at 4w4d pregnant. my easy@home lines have been so faint it’s crazy. I got a positive boots test, positive on first response, and clear blue 1-2weeks pregnant across various days this week. Tests aren’t getting darker or lighter though. I’m going to redo a boots test tomorrow to see if the line is darker or different from the first one I did. And then I’m just gunna paise until I get my second beta results back at least.

I got my hcg beta on 14/15dpo and it came back as 25 (9 is minimum but 133 is medium). My obsessive forum searching is suggesting that as long as my beta from today is double or more I should be good. Hoping and praying. But for now I am enjoying being pregnant with my partner and we are allowing ourselves to feel excited rather than being constantly terrified!!!

@UserL95 sorry I missed your last comment, I only seem to get some notifications!

Sorry your lines have got lighter, any news from your hcg blood tests?

My tests have been weird, I had that lighter test on Friday then yesterday and today were quite dark on wondfos but a lot lighter on easy@home so have no idea what to believe. Think I might do one more in the morning then stop testing and hope for the best, think testing is making it more stressful!!

UserL95 · 02/02/2025 19:43

@Panda34 thinking of you x

UserL95 · 31/01/2025 22:25

@Panda34 nhs really suck sometimes! I’m sorry your gp wasn’t any help :(

my evening test was painfully light today too. I keep letting myself get excited and then brutally crash into tears.

lots of cramping, back ache, bits of mild nausea, heightened smell… but feel like none of that matters as much as the lines!!

Panda34 · 31/01/2025 21:18

@UserL95 oh that's rubbish you're still waiting, are they open at the weekend? I asked my gp today and they said they won't test and to stop worrying and accept that I'm pregnant! Not very helpful.

Think my lines look a bit lighter this eve so not feeling very hopeful.

OP posts:

UserL95 · 31/01/2025 21:05

@Panda34 i didn’t hear back about beta today! Still stressing about my lines looking the same/similar :-(

how are you doing?

Original poster

Panda34 · 31/01/2025 08:34

@UserL95 ah I see, hope yoh get your results today! I've asked my drs if they'll do one, waiting to hear back! Tests still no diff this morning

OP posts:

UserL95 · 30/01/2025 21:40

@Panda34 no I paid privately for it. A clinic nearby offered 2 tests for £99 which seemed like a good offer compared to other places! They said 2-3 days for results but I’m hoping I’ll get them tomorrow.

Panda34 · 30/01/2025 21:01

@UserL95 time will tell I guess. That's good you've had that tested, did you just ask your drs?

OP posts:

UserL95 · 30/01/2025 20:36

@Panda34 they are very clear lines though! Do you have the opportunity to go get a beta hcg? I had one done today 15dpo and booked a retest for Sunday when I’ll be 18dpo for peace of mind or clarity - either way…

Panda34 · 30/01/2025 20:32

Todays tests - this mornings wondfo actually looked quite dark and I was feeling hopeful, this this eves test isn't so dark. easy@home not very dark and more like the test I had at 12dpo with my dd, I'm 17dpo today so that doesn't fill me with much hope. Feel a bit down tonight.

This looks really promising! I stayed on aspirin until 14 weeks.

Panda34 · 30/01/2025 13:20

@UserL95 that's not bad lines though! Have got my fingers crossed for you 🙏🏻

Mine was maybe ever so slightly darker this morn, find it hard to tell on these strip tests, got some easy@home coming later which I find better so will see!

OP posts:

UserL95 · 30/01/2025 08:52

15dpo fmu tests

UserL95 · 30/01/2025 08:51

Morning @Panda34 - for me I’m 15dpo and still faint lines ! Pic attached. Very much a line but not dark in any way :(. Ive been trying for baby 1 for longer than I like to think about.

how are you doing this morning?

Panda34 · 29/01/2025 22:02

@UserL95 got my fingers crossed for you for tomorrows test, so hard to limit the testing isn't it, I'm driving myself mad when I do another pointless test 2 hours later 🙈

You're right, it's so hard to compare to others online, I guess it varies so much as well. We're trying for number 2 so have my tests to compare with my dd which were darker by now but I used easy@home tests then so can't really compare. Also had a miscarriage and tfmr before dd and 2 chemicals this time so it's hard to get excited when I get a bfp. Take it one day at a time I guess 🙏🏻

OP posts:

UserL95 · 29/01/2025 21:53

@Panda34 still a vvfl for me today but definite line on easy at home and clear blue (negative on digital but not surprised). Trying hard to only test once per day… hoping for a better line tomorrow.

I’ve never had my own bfp progressions and I know it’s easy to compare to what you see online (also very guilty of this myself) but your lines are very much lines!!

Panda34 · 29/01/2025 20:25

Hi @UserL95 how's your line today? Really hope it's not a chemical

I don't know what to think, my lines seem to have got slowly darker but worried not as dark as they should be by now. I'm 16dpo today (bottom 2 tests from today, morning and eve)

I got 1-2 weeks on a clearblue digital yest just terrified I'm giving myself false hope

OP posts:

UserL95 · 28/01/2025 23:48

@Panda34 i hope bean sticks! Keep us updated and thinking of you.
I too got a positive today at 13dpo vvvvfl and am wondering if it’s a chemical.
sending you love and luck x

Strange one this morning, got quite a nice pink line but was darker at the top so thought would just do another one with same sample, still pink but not quite as dark. Also spotting a little bit so not sure it's going to stick ☹️
