Miscarriage or chemical?

Not sure is this is the right place or not but so confused as to whether I’m having a chemical or proper miscarriage.

  • 11th July - had 2 positive tests
  • Between 11-20th July had 7 positive tests in total
  • 22nd July had routine bloods done
  • 23rd July after having dark brown blood the night before when wiping it turned to red in the morning. Called midwife who booked scan for next Tuesday. Bleeding got worse so went to a&e. Did urine sample and doc just said I’m not and never was pregnant. Said his test is super sensitive and will not be wrong. Said not a miscarriage as test would still show positive for a week after. By the time I got home bleeding was like a normal period. That night I also got a text from my docs asking me to have my bloods done again in 2 weeks - didn’t state why but assume they picked up something wrong
  • 24th July I did another test as wanted to see negative myself but was positive and had no bleeding since 4pm on the 24th (yday)
  • today - got test results - was just screening bloods and all ok except platelets a little low

So confused as to what is happening!?

Very confusing op!
Sorry your going through this.
You need to get a HCG blood test done.
If you've had positive tests prior to bleeding you were obv preg so need to determine what your levels are now.

I had a miscarriage last summer. I was about 5 weeks and the test I took the next day (at the hospital - so they could do a scan etc) showed a very faint positive. They asked me to do a test a week later to confirm it was definitely negative, so it definitely wouldn't necessarily show positive a week later if you'd had a complete miscarriage.

I missed the bit about yesterday's test. Was it a strong positive?

Thank you both. This was yesterday’s test. Midwife today told me to try get a hcg test tomorrow.

Could you ring your EPU and explain what's been happening?
They may get you in for tests etc

I’ve got a scan booked for Tuesday morning. It’s the earliest I could get x
