Anyone had a chemical pregnancy? Hcg 185

[Violet180]

So I have had a completely full period but then I had a BFP on the blood test at my clinic. Hcg is 185 and the test was very dark positive. We are wary and were told it could be a chemical or ectopic....basically the clinic were wary and confused like I am.

I am low progesterone at 21 and need to start lubion "while we figure out what's going on" the consultant said.

Just wondering of those with experience...How long would I keep testing positive after I have gotten my period?

I am getting further hcg level tomorrow but would just like to hear people experiences?

Is that 185 your beta result ? if so I’d say that’s VERY PREGNANT.... my ivf hospital (Halifax) say the number has to be over 50... my number was 205... I’ve just had my baby girl 15 week ago x

My hospital classes a chemical as between 25 and 65 I think - anything over that is either non viable, PUL or ectopic if it's not rising as it should

I've had 2 ruptured ectopics and my hcg rose fast and high so non typical x

My friends mum continued to have periods through her entire pregnancy. She has no idea she was pregnant until she was 8 months. So it's not impossible!

I had a full period then two weeks later a positive test, rising hcg, and it was ectopic. Doesn’t sound like a chemical with numbers that high? Wishing you all the best for a positive outcome x

Hi I started bleeding on the day my period was due and when it didn't stop after 11ish days I had blood tests done which showed HCG of 136.. then 2 days later it was 34. I kept bleeding and it was negative a few days later. Are you still bleeding? X

@lavenderlove yeah I havent stopped bleeding for a second. It is now 12dp5dt and the bleed started on 6dp5dt. Your story does sound like what is happening to me. Well I guess I will know for sure tomorrow with the 2nd blood test and hcg result. Just have to brace myself.

So I had my second beta.

11dp5dt
185 hcg
21 progesterone

Started lubion Injections

13dp5dt
486 hcg
54.4 progesterone

So they numbers are doubling. Still getting another beta on Friday. So I guess this rules out a chemical pregnancy? But not an ectopic yet? I know everyone says that you can bleed throughout, but imagine your worst period and that's how heavy it is. With full on cramps
Add to that the fact that I've had such bad results in the previous 2 cycles, I am ever cautious. But yes, I am feeling happy with the results so far. It's just so foreign and cant really believe I'm pregnant....or cant LET myself believe. One of the two.

@Violet180
Good to see your numbers doubling. Definitely not a chemical at this point although the cramps are worrying? Hopefully You'll get some good news Friday - a sac should be visible once hcg is around 1000-1500 so hopefully they can rule an ectopic out by the weekend x
