Am I pregnant?

Hey,
So I guess I'm just after some reassurance. At the end of Jan I had a missed miscarriage. I should of been 9 weeks but the baby stopped growing at 6. I then went on to have a period starting the 26th Feb. Last week I felt abit funny and took a test just out of curiosity. (I'm still bf my 1yr old so don't have periods regularly, I've had 3 since he was born) the test came up faintly positive so I did a clear blue which said 1-2wks even though it was only 3 weeks since my period.
I then started with brown discharge on Thursday, mainly when I wiped and a small amount on a liner. Saturday I felt a small gush and it was a dark red colour and then nothing else until today where the brown discharge has started again when I wipe.

My sister in law has put doubts in my mind hugely saying its my hormones and that I'm not really pregnant. But surely if I had a period in Feb I am? Could this be implantation or is it a sign of a chemical miscarriage?
Is it a watch and wait kind of thing or should I mention it to my Dr and get bloods done?

I've attached the test pics so you can see how faint they are.

Thanks in advance! Sorry for the ramble!

Oh and just to mention, the faint lines came up within the time limit of the tests.

If you miscarried at the end of January it won't be hormones left over and I would say that you are pregnant.

I had a mc years ago in July. I did a test in the August which was, most definitely, negative (so no pregnancy hormones left). I did a test at the end of September (and multiple ones after) which was positive. She's now a very bright, lovely almost 12 year old.

Flowers for you.

Btw, I don't think that those lines are that faint. Clear blue digital ones are notorious for being not very sensitive so I don't think that there's any way that it would pick up pregnancy hormone from 2 months ago.

The pregnancy tests that I did with my second DD were much fainter. I had just ovulated later than I expected, I think.

I had a mc at the end of January and am now 7+5 with no period in between.
Did you do a test following the mc?

Congratulations!!

I didn't as I had a period I assumed that would be enough Sad maybe I should of. I never experienced any form of bleeding with my 1st pregnancy, nor with the second until I miscarried x

Definitely sounds like a new pregnancy then!

So this morning I did another digital clear blue as its a week since the last with my first wee of the day and it says not pregnant, but I used the same wee for a first response and still getting a faint line. I havent had a period still, just the discharge. Can you miscarry without actually bleeding?

You could be having a chemical pregnancy where the embryo has failed to implant properly so your hormone levels have not risen. Because the test this morning was done with fmu and is now saying not pregnant the most likely scenario is that the hormone has dropped to a level where it is only detectable by the more sensitive frer. I would probably expect bleeding within the next couple of days. X

ATHOMPSON8812 · 26/03/2019 12:01

That's what I suspect, thanks x
