HCG/Progesterone etc

[Fingerscrossed4]

Hi all,

So, not really sure what is going on but would like to see if anyone else has any experience.

24 June - start of last AF (I'm not a hundred percent sure about this but it was roughly around then).

Lots of BD between 5th - 9th of July (although was not meant to BD was just meant to be sex!)

12 July - vomited for 2 hours in the evening. Then some bleeding.

16 July - vomited a couple of times, thought it was weird so did a test and got a BFP.

17 July - tiny bit of spotting

19 July - another BFP
23 July - another BFP
(bit keen on tests here)

24 - 29 July - bits of nausea, but not a huge amount. No other symptoms, but I am currently breast feeding DS so think it would be difficult for my boobs to change!

28 July - went for early scan. No sign of anything there although something (think it was my endosomthing or rather) was thick. Sonographer wanted to double check so gave me a blood test for HCG and progesterone levels. To be repeated on Saturday.

28 July - BFP (still checking!)

29 July pm - results came from yesterdays blood test. HCG is only 18, and progesterone is low. Been told it doesn't look good.

Am I kidding myself thinking I could still be pregnant? Should I just accept that I've had a miscarriage?

I've had no bleeding for 2 weeks. If I had a miscarriage wouldn't I have had some clots or something and would I still be getting BFP?

Thanks

Hi Fingerscrossed4. I've not had any personal experience of this, but it does sound a little like a chemical pregnancy. I'm really sorry if this is the case.

It is not uncommon for the bleeding you have to be similar to a period at this point as it's at such an early stage, so you might not necessarily have clots. It will have been your endometrium that was thick. That's the bit that catches and cushions the baby if you fall pregnant, or comes away as your period if you're not. The BFPs that you are still getting could be as a result of residual pregnancy hormone in your system. It sometimes takes a while for your body to catch onto what has actually happened. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that I am totally wrong.
