Hi just wondering in a chemical pregnancy how long would the Hcg take to fall?

Trying to decide when to use my final (yes final I am not bloody buying anymore this month) test.

AM, you needto see your gp and ask for bloods to rule out an ep. some women do bleed during pg, its not uncommon, but you really need to get it checked out. it doesnt sound like a cp at all tbh. good luck.

Thanks queeny, I supose I'll have to brave the dr's, the epu needs dr's referal and they don't see people before 6 weeks (useful not) so maybe the dr will do blood tests? Or laugh at me who knows.

abstractmouse it doesnt sound like a CP to me. especially if you had a BFP on a CBD (they are notoriously unsensitive) if you do a test and it is still positive i would ring your local EPAU and ask for an urgent appointment. either way this need to be logged onto your file for future reference. maybe do a test tomorrow morning with FMU and if it is positive go from there good luck
salbysea a chemical preg is an early pregnancy loss. it is called this as the only thing to 'prove' the pregnancy is the hormones (chemicals) in the blood as it is far too early for a scan to confirm the pregnancy. it is usually pregnancies that have ended before or around the 5week point. they are miscarriages but very early ones. they can be mistaken for a very heavy, late period in those not expecting to be pregnant and therefore not testing for it. they can also be caused when a fertilised egg doesnt implant properly. it is quite common for them to happen (most women are thought to have one in their fertile lifetime) but it isnt known how many actually happen due to the mistaken heavy periods and unreported ones. does that make sense?

Well it's a bit of a long story, got a faint bfp with boots test saturday, then started bleeding. Bled for 5 days pretty much like a period. Was a bit about it so did a cheapie test thursday, then a cb digital which were both +, another + friday and a + today on a poundshop test which was quite faint (but then again it is only about 2mm wide lol.

I'm just confused, don't want to get attached to the thought of being pg.

Should really go to dr's, but don't want to for some reason.

sorry to hear about your CP
i have had 2 CPs this year and the BFP quickly turns to a BFN have you had BFP since starting to bleed? if you test again and get a BFP i would consider calling your local EPAU. it is possible that it wasnt a cp if you still have BFP. when was your BFP and when did you start to bleed? sorry about all the questions i hope you get some concrete answers soon.

I had the same last month - BFP one day, then bleeding the next evening and a BFN .. Too much to hope for really as it was my first month TTC and I didn't really know what I was doing !

Related to that - I do a lot of gym classes and didn't cut back when I suspected I may have conceived - just wondering whether spinning and high impact aerobics might have caused the CP and I should cut down ? I don't want to but will if it means more chance of a sticky egg.

Here's hoping for better things this month
