Some of the info says carry on and some says wait a month. It's only v early and I am inclined to wait but am also not wanting to put off getting pg again iyswim.

Saw gp yesterday and he took blood soi think that will confirm what is happening, but he talked about the longer I am off the pill the more endometreosis will return then make it difficult to conceive.

Am v confused about the whole thing. I only got the +ve just before I started bleeding but I did have pg symptoms.

Nymph sending you a big very non-mn hug. Not sure what to say as its not something I have been through. I hope it all works out for you and you get some answers.

Thanks, just wish I hadn't tested. Then I would just have carried on

Not sure if it's any help, but I had something similar a couple of months ago. Got a positive test and the following week I started to bleed. At least your GP seems to be taking things seriously, I was told just to go home as there was nothing they could do and no tests they were willing to run!

Anyway, I started TTC again straight away without waiting. Not sure if you're checking your temperatures, but mine were all over the place for the first month which made tracking ovulation difficult. So mostly it was just a case for DTD whenever DH and I had the time/inclination! However AF appeared exactly on time, almost to the hour, for that cycle.

The following cycle my temperatures were a little better so I could actually try and predict ovulation again. Though it was a few days late, just to try and confuse me. DTD though and got my BFP last week.

You're supposed to get a boost to fertility for a month or two after a CP or early MC, I believe? Presumably something to do with lingering chemicals in your system. So if you feel like you are ready to keep trying then I would suggest going for it. Though the doctors will curse you if you do succeed immediately, as it'll be a touch harder to figure out your dates. However that's their problem, not yours!

Make sure to be kind to yourself, whatever you decide to do. I found my emotions were all over the place for a few weeks afterwards, and regardless of how early it happened it is still a stressful thing to go through. I hope everything works out for you soon!

saw your messages on other threads and felt very sad for/with you... you are having such a horrid time

Haven't experienced a ChemPg, but with my MMC I did wait until I'd had a proper bleed... LOTs of people don't and are lucky enough to fall straight away. Only you can really know what's best for you.

Thinking of you.

I am tempted to carry on but also feel very raw. Was lucky (?) with gp as he wanted bloods doing anyway so just added more on. My arms are a mess too as they couldn't get the blood out have 2 huge bruises and loads of holes

I usually get beaten up by bloods and injections too... most practitioners seem to struggle getting access! It makes it all worse doesn't it. Look after yourself x

Take care nymph

I had a very early mc/chemical back in June. My doctor told me to continue trying straight away and said there was absolutely no medical reason for me to wait.

As I understand it, some will recommend you wait after this - but this is to aid the medical profession with dating.
