Confused :(

[rimmer08]

hi, I got a positive test result about 22 December, by Christmas day was having bleeds( think about 2 weeks gone or less) this went on for a week. I re tested on the 30th and it was negative. I took another test to make sure today and it came up as positive. So confused casn anyone help? Not sure what this means

Hi rimmer,

i am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time - this can be such a confusing time.

What was the date of your last period (first day)? I ask because until you are 4 weeks or more past this date results can be a bit all over the shop and can chop and change a little.

Also, what tests did you use? Were they the same brand? and were they early detector tests, or standard ones

Thanks for your reply amyh, my first day of my last period was just under a week before the positive result. I used the digital ones clear blue, first time I tested said 1 to 2 weeks, then the bleed, then a week later a negative test. Left it four days and got a result saying 1 to 2 weeks again. Don't know if it is relevant but had a mmc in November when I should have been 12 weeks.

Hi rimmer,

So around 15th december?? In that case, I think to be sure you should wait until about 15th Jan or ideally a few days later than this to test again.

Although lots of pregnancy tests advertise themseves as being accurate even when used early, you would have a much more certain degree of accuracy if you test after your period would normally be due.

During our cycles we have all kinds of things happening to our bodies which can effect our hormones in lots of different ways, and it could be your MMC in november is still causing a hormone imbalance which causes confusion.

i am sorry for your loss, I too have had miscarriages and I know how it feels to desperately want to feel preg again.

Unfortunately I think the only thing you can do is wait, and in the meantime, try and think positively

I have my fingers crossed for you

Thank you so much for your advice, it does make sense to wait and you're right about being so desperate for a positive .xx

Hi
I would agree with Amy that it is probably still ur previous pregnancy hormones, but I wish you the best of luck with ur next pregnancy xx
