I've post this in a couple places as not 100% on the exact topic to put it under!
Just for some background, I'll try and make it short:
Cycles are generally 28 days, last actual period was 3rd November. Got a very faint positive pregnancy test on the 1st December, but then 2nd December was negative and started bleeding on the 4th December so I put it down to a chemical pregnancy. Bleeding was not like my normal periods, bled for a few days then had spotting up until the 16th Dec and then it stopped.
6 weeks go by and I realise I haven't had my period, but after a bit of googling other people have said their periods were delayed after a chemical. Last week I do a test and I get the faintest positive, I leave it a couple days and it's completely negative, and have done 3 cb digitals which all came back with error despite following the instructions exactly as they asked. Annoying and not exactly cheap errors
This week I've now started bleeding (from my vaginal) when I have a poo (sorry tmi!) And the only ever time I've had this was when I was pregnant with my other two (who are now 3 and 1). The bleeding is only when I bear down to go, the second I'm done the bleeding stops and the rest of the day I'm just spotting brown blood. My normal periods are relatively heavy and the cramps are so painful, so I know that it's not that.
I've been having mild cramps, or more like a heavy feeling, it's like I'm waiting to come on and have been for the last week but I'm just not!
I have 3 concerns-
-
I've had another chemical, and my body isn't flushing everything out
-
that not everything came out with my last chemical
-
that I was actually still pregnant from December, and now preg tests are not picking it up due to too much hormone?
I know I probably sound a bit dramatic with the last one, but the bleeding when going to the toilet happened with my prev pregnancies so it's just another thing in my mind!
It could just be something else entirely, I've been waiting 3 days for a callback from my drs and honestly I've just been sat here thinking about anything and everything it could be!
I'm so sorry that's so long, just wondering if anyone had any wise words 😔
