Hi,
I found out I was pregnant on 11/12/23, I had an extremely faint line which I didn’t believe at first. I took a digital test that day which showed negative. I tested again on the 13/12/23 and got a darker pink dye line and also a positive digital test which said 1-2 weeks. I didn’t test again after this.
Going off my last period 7/11/2023 I would have been 6 weeks pregnant exactly on the 19/12/2023 which is when I started spotting. Obviously I was quite alarmed by this but thought it was just implantation bleeding or spotting which I experienced with my first pregnancy. As the days went on the bleeding got heavier and heavier and on 21/12 I phoned the doctors who referred me to the early pregnancy unit the following day where they did a pregnancy test which came back negative and they told me I had miscarried.
I’ve really struggled over Christmas to come to terms with this loss but I’ve put on a brave face for my almost 2 year old but I can’t seem to shake all these questions I’ve got. How could the test at the hospital come back negative when I’d tested positive on the 13th, I thought the pregnancy hormones stayed in your system for a while even after miscarrying. Was I ever actually pregnant or was all those tests I took false readings. In total I had 5 positive tests so I highly doubt that! Did I miscarry or was it a chemical pregnancy? Just so many questions 😢
