Miscarriage/pregnancy loss

Am I having an eptopic pregnancy

This is my first time on mums net. I have had 4 consecutive miscarriages in the last 2 and a half years. On mother's day I decided to do a test as I felt pregnant but hadn't yet missed my period as I was due on the day after. Test was a faint positive, tested again on the Monday thecdaybi was due on and again a faint positive, darker than the day before but faint, Tuesday tested again and still faint but again it was darker. Decided to call the hospital and GP as with my history I am closely monitored and would need progesterone pessaries etc. However tested Wednesday and negative no hint of a second line, I have done them every day since and nothing.
Still feeling tired and getting cramps and stitch pains on both sides, I also feel bloated and pressure/ache near my pelvis/public none. I have called EPU today and they have said as I have tested negative they won't see me even given my history of recurrent miscarriage I need to contact my GP.
Tried calling them as its Monday it was horrendous bust 27th in the queue and when I finally got through they had no appointments available and said if I feel concerned to go to A&E. I dint know what to make of it all to have 3 positive tests followed by nothing but negatives and with the pains I am experiencing I just don't know what to do, don't want to come across as a hypochondriac but I don't feel right. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Feel so lost

If there is any possibility at all of an ectopic pregnancy then take their advice and go to A&E. Hope all works out and you have a normal, healthy pregnancy.

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. With my ectopic my tests still progressed, right up to the 3+ on clearblue digital and I didn’t get a negative for about a month after I had management for it. I didn’t have any pain either just bleeding. I can only speak from my experience but if I was you I’d be more inclined to thinking I’d had a chemical pregnancy and maybe the pains are now your period approaching? X

I think given your history go to the hospital if nothing else it will ease your mind and in worse case scenario you have done the right thing either way. My auntie had an ectopic pregnancy quite a few years ago and she said she did 2 positive tests like you with faint lines. Then at the doctors it was negative. So she went home deflated but thought nothing of it, 2 days later she said the pain was like being electrified. So my advice is go to the hospital don't worry about not knowing for sure that's what they are there for as you never know do you?
Hope your okay

Go to A&E.

I’ve had an ectopic and ended up blue-lighted to hospital after collapsing. Hopefully it isn’t, but this is definitely a case where you should not worry about advocating for yourself if you have any concerns.

I’m sorry for your losses, and that you’re going through all this worry too. Wishing you all the best

Definitely get checked out for an ectopic pregnancy, no such thing as eptopic
