Chemical pregnancy?

16 replies

I think I might be having a chemical pregnancy.
I had sore boobs and nausea for a few days so had done 3 one step tests all negative then yesterday morning I did a frer and it was a super faint line. Then at night i had a spot of brown blood and this more pinkish when I wiped. I have wore a pad all day and there are a few spots of brown but nothing wipe. And my boobs no longer feel sore.
What do you think?
Thanks

When I got my most recent BFP my test lines were really faint and for the next two days I had brown spotting so thought the worst.

Everything was fine though so stay hopeful Flowers

It's got a bit heavier now. A bit like rusty coloured blood.

Did you do another FRER?

Line gets lighter every morning if its a chemical pregnancy.

Hello everyone. Mind if I jump in? Think I'm having a similar issue.

So just over 2 weeks ago, I had what I thought was my period but it only lasted 2 days and was a lot lighter than normal. Since then I've had brown spotting every day. It's not heavy and I've had no cramping or pain. 2nd day in a row I've had bfp on clear blue tests.

My first thought was chemical pregnancy but the doctor said that I should wait a week and go to the EPAU for a scan. Does anyone have any light they could shed on this? Any similar experiences? I'm not at all hopeful as I've had miscarriage before. . . Sad

Has your doc suggested getting checked out with a scan, OP? How's things going today? The waiting is terrible isn't it.

FrauNeuer. I haven't told the doctors. I didn't see the point. If I'm bleeding they wouldn't be able to do anything.
I am getting cramps now too so it's definately going to happen.
I hope yours turns out to be all ok.

Oh, I'm really sorry. Our bodies really don't make it easy sometimes. Thanks for your kind words, too. I'm not confident because of the bleeding. I know this sounds silly, but I don't 'feel' different.

When I had my 1st mc the midwife told me that many people are super-fertile afterwards - worth bearing in mind.

I really hope that you get a good outcome soon. Flowers

I only came off the depo shot 3 months ago so I think this maybe the reason why it's happened so I'm worried about trying again.
How far along do you think you are?

I only came off the depo shot 3 months ago so I think this may of had something to do with it. And it makes me scared thinking about next time if it's going to happen again.

The worst thing about experiencing a loss in early pregnancy is that it makes you so scared and anxious next time around. There's no avoiding this, I don't think, but I believe that things in life that are worth having are also worth putting up with some struggles for. It'll be worth it in the end: that's what I tell myself all the time.

Think I'd be around 5 1/2 weeks. I was having fertility investigations and I ovulate very late, so I might not be very far along at all. It's taken 2 years after mmc to conceive again and I'll be so devastated if this turns out to be the 2nd mc in a row. Sad

Have you had successful pregnancies before? If so, I'm sure next time everything will work out. Flowers

I'm already an anxious person so next time I'll be a mess lol.
Yes I have already got children.
But this is the first after the horrible depo shot. Which works by thining the uterine lining. So I don't think the little bean had anything to attach itself to. So don't know what will happen next time.
You are super early so I don't think you would really have any symptoms yet. But I really hope everything is fine for you after waiting so long. x
