ok......can someone help me make sense of this please?

[PeckaRolloverAgain]

I got a positive pregnancy test on the 4th December (10 days ago)

I was 2 days late for my period then. So about day 30 of my cycle.

Over the following days I did a few more tests and they were positive with the lines getting darker.

I have had all the usual early preg symptoms - nausea, tiredness, sore boobs, blue veins, metallic taste. Altho they have died off a bit this week.

Anyway started bleeding yesterday which has carried on til today so midwife sent me for an early scan at the epu.

They did a preg test that was faintly positive.

Then did an internal scan - she said that there wasnt really anything there. She could see a tiny empty sac that could possibly be a very early pregnancy but like about 3.5-4 weeks.

If I first tested positive 10 days ago that would have made me only 2.5-3 weeks pregnant when I tested - is it possible to get a positive test then? I would have barely conceived by then!!

Is it mroe likely that the pregnancy stopped at 4 weeks?

I have had my blood taken and have to ring in the morning to make appt to go and get it taken again to see what the HCG levels are doing.

Any insight would be great

Thanks

Are you ok? Sorry if Im upsetting you...

Hey your not Your refreshingly honest, I like it.

TBH if its inevitable I wish I knew now so I could focus my mind as this not knowing is driving me up the wall.

Because they didnt tell me for definite today I cant presume Ive miscarried until they tell me IYSWIM

Yes I know exactly what you mean. Its the waiting thats the worst. Once you know for sure you can start the grieving process which you will go through but then you must think ahead to the next beautiful little bundle youll be holding by next October.

Well I hope I havnt scared you to death. I will come and find you tommorrow to see how you are. Im off to bed now cause my ds4 will be up for his feed in a couple of hours. Try to get some sleep nothing worse than being tired and worried. Take Care now. XXXX

THANKS for chatting tonight, I really appreciate it.

I will update you tomorrow

I have just called the EPU as instructed and my HCG was 815 yesterday - she said this was quite low?

They are ringing me this morning to see what they are doing next

Does anyone know if 815 is low for just over 5 weeks?

I am not an expert, but it does strike me as fairly low. A single hCG reading doesn't mean a great deal, though -- it's seeing how fast the levels are increasing that is more meaningful. I've seen perfectly successful pregnancies with "low" numbers.

In combination with the scan results and the bleeding and the drop off in symptom, having a low hCG reading isn't a great sign, though. It's so frustrating at this stage when you want quick answers and that's the one thing no one can give you.

Good morning. Oh dear no doesnt sound too good Im afraid. Did you manage to get some sleep last night? I was thinking about you and was hoping you were ok. Yes its very frustrating having all these tests and the results taking so long. Did they say what time they would ring you? Have you been bleeding still? PLease let me know what the results are. Good luck babe.xx

does sound low , honey........((((hugs))))

Oh pecka, I'm sorry to say this but this sounds rather like the build-up to the mc I had in July. Sac too small at 5 weeks-ish, bleeding, low hCG (but mine was a bit lower still). It took several days for me to get a definitive answer, and the limbo is truly horrible. I'm thinking of you and hoping (rather against hope ) that things do resolve happily. x

Oh pecka, been hunting for your thread. I'm so for you, like many of the others on here, I've experienced the same thing and it's horrible.

Been thinking of you the last couple of days, will continue to do so. Not good with the hugs, but can I offer you a friendly and well-meaning pat on the back and use of a big duvet and chocolates?

Thanks everyone Hugs and pats and duvets much appreciated.

My hairdresser is here doing my highlights so at least my hair will be nice if nothing else

Hospital rang - they seem to be viewing it as a very early pregnancy but I still cant see how that would work as I KNOW when I ovulated KNOW when I shagged and KNOW when I first got positive test so altho they seem a bit hopeful Im finding it hard to agree!

I have to go in on monday morning for more blood tests.

Hi pecka. Try to relax over the weekend. Hope your hair looks lovely. Ill check in on you on Monday. Take Care xx

had strong cramps overnight so thought it was all over but tey stopped and no more bleeding.

just dull cramp today - dont know what to think

i just want to know!!

Oh pecka my thoughts are with you babe. Are your tests due back Monday? I didnt actualy get cramps at all. I expected to get them but the doc said to rest and keep quiet for a few days while the sac passed. I decorated my front room and was scraping old paint off etc. I think if Id have sat around thinking about it I would have been alot worse than I was. Plus I told the doc this when I went for my check up and he said it probably helped it pass quicker and cleaner! Try not to dwell on it. I know thats easier said than done. Take care. See you MOnday xx

just took a test and its looking negative

my thoughts are with you hun

Oh bummer Pecka. Im so sorry. Well remember what I said theres always next time.

Oh Pecka.

I don't know what to say to you. I'm so sorry it looks like it has ended this way for you.

I went throught the same thing in July and felt angry and sad and oddly quite lonely at times. Don't worry about whatever you are feeling- just let yourself work through it. When you get a bfp you immediately start planning the next 8 months, envisaging the lo fitting in with existing family etc and when it very sadly goes wrong you are letting go of not only a few week old pregnancy, but the changed future you had planned. I found that the hardest thing.

I'm really for you. Keep chatting, give DD and DS lots of cuddles and be kind to yourself.

After thinking I was really fine I have had a majore wobble. Went out on an already planned night out last night which was a mistake - I broke my heart when I got in after the upset of pretending to be fine, a few insensitive comments etc

Needless to say I have mega puffy eyes this morning.

pecka, i really don't know what to say. people don't realise that from the moment you get that bfp you have a baby. rest up today if poss, make an appointment with your gp for tomorrow and talk things thru. my heart goes out to you.

Hi pecka hows things? x

i have been to hospital and had blood taken - have to ring at 2pm

Hi its me again. Are you ok? What did they say? Thinking of you x
