Positive tests but no baby

[Lola230998]

I have now had 6 positive tests, however when I went for a scan they were unable to see anything from either an abdominal or internal scan. 2 of these tests were taken whilst I was there (and positive).

I do take promethazine which can cause false positives however would it cause this many?

I do not feel pregnant at all and witb the date of my last period I should be around 6 weeks.

I am absolutely petrified of potential ectopic pregnancy. I have an appointment on Friday for a scan and bloods, I’ve had no pain etc or bleeding.

any help would be appreciated!

@cakeislife1234 this is what I’m praying for really, it’s just the weirdest situation I have absolutely no pregnancy symptoms other than a missed period.

thank you x

I had no symptoms either really. I had a positive test, then big bleed 2 weeks later so assumed it was a third chemical pregnancy, took a test 2 weeks later as directed by GP before a referral to the recurrent miscarriage clinic and it was positive.

But no pain or any usual ectopic symptoms at all. The fact they can't see anything on a scan is reassuring that there's hopefully nothing in your tube to rupture.

I have my fingers crossed for you that your HcG levels are going down naturally so you don't need any intervention. The methotrexate wasn't bad, I felt tired and nauseous for about 5 days after but then was fine xxx

Yes, also had no ectopic symptoms either. It was honestly fine, I was also scared, but the injections were ok, and all worked out. Have you thought about the IUD going forward? My friends swear by it!!

I’m a bit crap at techie stuff and can’t link, but there is a charity called the ectopic pregnancy trust that I’ve just found on Google. They appear to have a helpline and other sources of support. Maybe give them a look?

You’re doing really well OP, it must be really scary. Don’t suffer by yourself ask someone to come and stay with you tonight xx

@cakeislife1234 i can cope with this, as I say I was initially having a termination so in some ways I don’t have the loss of a wanted baby which helps (I’m sorry if this sounds heartless).

It’s reassuring to hear you can have an ectopic with no symptoms and it’s easily treated, injections are totally fine I just hate blood tests! But that’s something I’m going to have to be brave for.

Thank you so much x

@Proamble yes im on the waiting list for an IUD, I take Noriday religiously but I feel it maybe failed for some unknown reason.

I’m hoping I get answers and treatment on Friday.

Thank you 💕

@Blanketwars I will definitely have a look thank you. I really appreciate the support and hope it’s resolved soon 🫶🏼

I had a pregnancy of unknown origin years ago. No symptoms, positive tests and slightly increasing HCG levels. They offered me surgery or methotrexate injections. Had the injections and was absolutely fine, went in to have a normal pregnancy afterwards.

@dragonfly16 thank you, I honestly have no idea what to expect I just know I don’t want surgery :(

@Lola230998 if you ever need anyone to talk to feel free to message me.

You don't sound heartless at all. You're being honest xxx
