Hi there not sure where to post, so I apologise if this is I the wrong place.

Well, about me. I've had 4 consecutive early mcs over the last few months.
I am under the care of prof Quenby and on 400mg cyclogest progesterone x 2 daily.

At 11 dpo I got a faint positive on my frer after many extremely faint barely there lines on IC dip sticks.

At 18dpo I started spotting brown blood, (bang on time with the others!) and was due to have an early scan at 19dpo.
19dpo I had what looked like a piece of membrane come out with my first and second wee of the day. Test was barely readable and more or less negative. I rang to cancel my scan and they said come anyway to check everything had come out.

I went, also taking whatever had come out of me for testing, and lo and behold they found a sac and yolk and I was measuring 4.5-5 weeks!!!!
They recommended I have a rescan 10-14 days after, currently booked in for 7th May. They don't know if it was a twin coming away or the start of a mc for this one, but I don't understand how I had a sac and yolk and tested more or less neg!

I had spotting and light period like bleeding on and off for 6 days (only when i wiped) which finally finished yesterday after if turned from brown to pink to dark pink to pink to brown to dark brown yesterday and nothing today.

I'm getting very mild butterfly feelings in my lower belly pelvic area, and my nipples are slightly sensitive.
HOWEVER, I am still testing negative! I just don't understand wth is going on!!
I've read that some people just don't get positive tests until waaaaaay into their pregnancies but I've had tests that came up positive with the other 4!

Can anyone shed any light?
I'm away in France until the end of May so I've managed to book the scan here which is great.
I'm just totally and utterly confused as to what is going on!
I'm still treated my body as though I am pregnant.

Thanks in advance for any answers you come up with :)

Choccy I'm really sorry to hear your story.

I had a MC last year and after some spotting I had scan at what I considered to be 8 weeks. I measured 5 weeks and they too saw a sac and yolk. I was told to not worry an I waited for my dating scan. It was here I was told there was nothing there. I too was shocked - I had no bleeding and experienced all the symptoms. At the time I was too shocked to ask why a baby can seemingly just disappear.

Hope you get the news you want to hear.

I just don't understand tired, it just seems like a shit way for the 'baby' to end up as it were. At least when it comes out you have some sort of end, and closure, but until that point you're always hanging on the the wtf happened?

I'm so sorry it happened to you. Did you go on to have a successful pregnancy?

We've decided to go home early next week and have managed to get a scan for next Friday afternoon. That way if it's bad news I can spend the whole weekend getting incredibly out of my face (I don't drink btw).
If it's good news I am home and can start to celebrate.
