Hello all,
Long time reader, first time poster. I'm all knotted up inside and feel like I can't really talk to anyone right now.
We've been TTC for a long long time. I guess I'm in the recurrent miscarriage club, 8 in total. I've just been tested for a bunch of stuff and am hoping to be positive for Factor V as this runs in my family and it will be a relief to have an answer as to why I've had so much trouble and a solution moving forward.
This year I had a miscarriage at about 6 or 7 weeks in early Jan, a chemical in March and another chemical with bleeding that began on the 11th of May.
This last one was a bummer because it was right after I had my first appointment with my Specialist and I just felt so hopeful and super duper Pregnant for once, ha ha. I was so sure that one would make it. But alas, not so.
Anyone with similar issues, or just any mums in general, will probably understand the constant test taking. So after the bleeding ended, only lasted a couple days, I started taking a test every couple days to watch the line disappear. It was completely gone by the following Monday the 18th of May.
Jump ahead a few days to yesterday, Saturday the 23rd, I was feeling yucky and off. I took a test, and it was very very faintly positive. Took another this morning and it's a little teeny bit darker, but still faint.
Anyone else have any experience like this? How could that be possible? Could I truly be pregnant again so quickly? And if not, if the negative tests were wrong on the 18th, how could a chemical pregnancy still cause a positive test 2 weeks later?
Sorry for the novel, it's just a head scratcher for me, and I would like some first hand info from some experienced mums.
