it seems it's a chemical pregnancy?

[rubbersoul]

I got a positive with clearblue digital a couple of days ago on the day after my period was due. A few days before I had a couple of faint positives with internet cheapies but waited until day after I was due (I am NEVER late)

I've had strong symptoms up until yesterday, sore boobs and feeling really sick. Today my boobs have felt back to normal so I have just taken the other clearblue test (double pack) and has come back not pregnant

Does this mean I just have to wait to start bleeding? I feel so stupid, we've already told our parents who have told one or 2 family members. I KNEW we should have waited to tell people

Hi Rubbersoul,

please don't feel stupid about telling your parents - it is understandable to tell them important things about your life. Hopefully they can provide support at this time, and in the future.

There is no right or wrong time to tell people, so please don't feel bad about this.

You could try speaking to your GP on the phone - they won't scan you this early, but they might offer you blood tests. If you are pregnant your HCG levels should be increasing daily, and they might do two tests a few days apart to measure if you're HCG levels have increased or not. Worth a phone call to ask.

Honestly I think it's really good to tell people when stuff like this happens - don't feel stupid. You need support and love - you've had a loss. I told my parents every time I conceived and really appreciated their love and support when it didn't work out.

Thanks for kind words becki - in retrospect if it weren't for that miscarriage, I wouldn't have my beautiful DS. So hope the same goes for you too rubbershoes

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but I got a positive clearblue result on the day my period was due and 5 days later I got a negative when my doctor tested me. The doctor was quite clear that he thought it was a chemical pregnancy and that I should prepare myself for the worst. I was really upset because I had a miscarriage in Feb and was convinced that the doctor must be right. I also was not experiencing any symptoms at all. However, the next morning I did 2 more clearblues and they both came up positive straight away. So the doctor was wrong! I'm now 12 weeks pregant, have had 3 scans due to the last miscarriage, and so far everything seems ok. So try not to give up hope...it might still be ok. And if it's not, you will get through it.Good luck x

Thanks for your messages everyone
I started bleeding late last night so that's that. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time!

Good luck to everyone ttc or pregnant

Really sorry Rubbersoul. That's awful. As others have said, you mustn't feel bad about having told close family - after all, their support is also needed when things don't turn out as wanted and expected. Hope your DP was supportive and helpful - and wishing you guys lots of luck with TTC. Thinking of you.

aww rubbersoul :( so sorry really hoped things would turn out ok for you, hope your ok? you wil get thorough this, dont give up though, it will happen for you xxxx

Thanks guys, there are some really lovely people on here!

I'm ok, husband has been great but he is really disappointed. Think we'll wait for next period then start trying- although the timing isn't fantastic this has really made us realise how much we want to start a family, so hopefully I'll be back on here in a couple of months with positive news (I will be keeping an eye out to see how you are doing beckie!)

Take care xxx

thankyou rubbersoul, you shouldnt be thinking bout me missis, you need to think about you. it does make you realise, when i got pregnant with my 1st i was only 17 wasnt ideal but when i started bleeding i thought i was going to loose it and it made me realise at that point how much i did want the baby. i hope you are rubbersoul i will be looking out for you.
you take care too and good luck for the next 2 month, it will work out just fine.
