positive test this morning but now looks like game over already

[CatIsSleepy]

an hour after test looks like my period started...bright red blood...
is that it then, all over?

now I wish I'd never done the sodding test but I literally could not have waited a minute longer

aaaaargh!!!

hey babytime
I had a little spotting last week, tues-thurs, thought that meant my period was due (timing was right) but then it stopped completely
held out til this tuesday to test
bleed happened shortly after, but didn't last more than a couple of hours
nothing at all now

but don't have any pg symptoms yet-except feel a bit bloated but that could be anything!
have been trying to remember how I felt when pg wth dd-think I didn't get any nausea or sore boobs til a bit later

good luck with your test tomorrow

I am going through the same experience this week.

Last week I got two faint positives, followed by negatives and started to bleed. I'm sure I am no longer pregnant. However, the bleeding was much lighter than my normal period (two days of light bleeding followed by three days of spotting). I did a google search about bleeding in chemical pregnancies because I thought this was a bit odd. I had assumed the bleeding would be normal or heavier than normal. I found someone who quoted some research that bleeding after chemical pregnancies can often be lighter than normal.

Catisleepy and babytime, I hope you are both still pregnant, but if you are not, light bleeding does not seem to necessarily be a problem or an indication that anything is wrong.

Well if it was a mc you would think you would bleed more than for a couple of hours? But then I dont know enough about these things. I had a chemical pregnancy in April, faint pos the day I was due but start bleeding that day. I had a light period but it still lasted for a good few days and I felt absolutely shattered!

The fact you feel normal but a bit bloated looks good. Wishing you lots of luck.

Are you going to test after the weekend then? How can you hold off that long?

You're strong!

Thanks neolara!

Your post kind of confirms my chemical pregnancy in April.

I have two children and been on mumsnet with different names since October 2002 and I have never heard of chemical pregnancies since recently.

You just keep learning on mumsnet!

Catissleepy when I had my period a week after testing positive, I did another test as soon as I started bleeding. Test was negative.

Some of the experiences here sound quite positive so it may not be over but only a test will tell. Here's hoping the optimists are right. Fingers crossed for you.

oh and I had bleeding for a few days - slightly lighter than normal period.

CAT!

I have been lookinkg for ye!
I hope things go well...am thinkin' of you.

Missed you..

should ye want to

Good vibes

hey talcy
am ok, y'know, just feeling a bit in limbo with all this...

i think my worry is that although have not had much bleeding, any bleeding can be bad- I read somewhere there's a 50% of ending in mc
so I don't think I have mc'd yet, am worried it might be another missed mc where the fetus has implanted but then is not viable. when I had this before I had light bleeding early on (though for several days both before and after my period was due)..then I htink it stopped...tested +ve then had an early scan but no heartbeat...then v. heavy bleeding couple of weeks later
i think that is the scenario I am sort of anticipating (as a worst case scenario of course) hence my caution and the worst thing is it takes a couple of months for your body to sort itself out

but I guess there's always hope-am just trying not to hope too much
pgwithnumber3 has almost convinced me to test again tomorrow, but am still not sure!

thanks to all of you for responding...babytime, fingers crossed for you
neolara-sorry to hear your story.hope things go better next time x

Thanks Catisleepy. I actually feel OK about it. I have had two other miscarriages in the past and because of this, I feel that if it is going to go wrong, it's much better for it to happened now instead of weeks or months down the line.

Good luck with your testing tomorrow. Sounds like it could be OK.

that's how I feel too neolara-the earlier the better

CatisSleepy, I will be on here when DD2 gets up tomorrow and I want an answer on the result of your test!

Good luck if you do test, fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you.

crossed here too x

Cat still not provided update?

No update yet purlease, I am thinking she has done away for the weekend already. Really hope she did test and it was still positive though.

Catisleepy

We are all thinking of you here x

babytime-I saw your other thread-did you decide not to test yet then?

sorry to keep you dangling ladies-could not get onto computer on friday morning as dh was using it, then I left for my weekend away around lunchtime. In any case I decided to wait til this morning to do my test.

Positive came up almost instantly and was very strong- so I guess I'm still pregnant
very early days still so fingers crossed. Still no symptoms- except feeling ravenously hungry!

thanks for all your kind messages, I appreciate it alot x

WooHoo!!!!!! Fantastic news, I knew you said you had been away but I have still been checking all weekend to see if you updated.

You must be over the moon!

Tell me about the hunger, just about to go and make my second breakfast! Already had porridge and now want egg on toast.

Keep this thread going so we know how you are getting on. You will be due a few weeks after me? (12 weeks tomorrow)

ah you are sweet pgwith!
have you had your scan yet?

still can't quite believe it actually! am getting used to the idea

haven't checked my due date exactly yet but must be middle/end of March

Oh thats fantastic news -

If it had ended then the line would be fainter surely?

I think you're fine. You hear of so many people on here who have periods and bleeding during pregnancy. Are you still going to call you gp just to check, maye get an early scan?

I bet you feel good now!

I am holding out testing until Thursday, that would make me 6 weeks. I spoke to a few others on here who did not get a positive until at least 6 weeks so I thought I would do it then otherwise I would end up buying more tests

I do feel different and just felt queasy a few mins ago but then had a yogurt and feel ok.

Also when having sex its alot more slippy I remember this happening with other pregnancies...

I really am driving myself mad now!!!

My dh found out my name so I am going to change it today. I hate it when he knows it because I cant talk about him then

I am going to change today and when I come back on saying its me - you'll know its me

yes and it came up within seconds babytime, so faster than when I tested last week which has got to be a good sign...

not sure re early scan-am away for 10 days or so from Saturday so will see the doc when I get back and see what she says.

ok so fingers crossed for you- you really need to keep your mind off it til thursday then don't you!

You sound fine!

I'll try
