Could I be pregnant?

[Whatido]

Hi, I’m just looking for peoples opinions and thoughts because I’m soo impatient and can’t stop thinking about it! So I had very faint positives and then started bleeding a few days later which lasted 4 days so I assumed I had miscarried, however the gp said to take a test in a week to make sure. I’ve done that and they have came back with stronger lines than before the bleeding.
Do you think this could mean I am still pregnant or something else? Going to see if I can get a scan this week. The photo attached is of my test last night and then today. Thank you!

I think considering the circumstances it is worth asking for a referral to the EPU and seeing if you can have blood tests done 48 hours apart.

@BlueSurfer I’ll ask the gp about that when I phone them then, thanks! I just hate not knowing and over thinking it

Do you have any pain anywhere - particularly in the tips of your shoulders(s)? I'd also be pushing for a scan / bloods to rule out ectopic

@Mamamamasaurus No pain anywhere not even cramping, an ectopic is what I’m worried about also!

That's good though, but I'd still push for answers - I ignored my pains etc (assumed it was a MC and I could deal with it myself) then ended up having emergency surgery and lost a tube

Push for EPU if you can't self refer

@Mamamamasaurus Sorry you had to go through that I could only be 4 weeks at the most do you know if they would do a scan that early?

Possibly, though if you're so early it may be down to blood tests to determine what's going on 🤞🏼

@Mamamamasaurus thanks for replying, keeping my fingers crossed but trying not to get hopes up x

Fingers crossed that you're still pregnant & it was just early pregnancy bleeding that a lot of people get & ive seen a lot of that on here, & ive been on Mumsnet for over a year. If you had an early miscarriage like I did last year I wouldn't expect your test to be darker so hopefully it's good news for you 🤞🏻

@aquarius36 thanks so much for your comment, giving me some hope🤞🏻 I hope you got some good news after your miscarriage last year xx

@Whatido unfortunately not. Just over 2yrs now TTC baby no3. Think my age might not be helping I'm nearly 37 & OH is 46🙉 just in fertile window now but not holding out much hope x

@aquarius36 so sorry to hear that hoping you get some good news soon x
