Am I Pregnant?

Hi all, I had a miscarriage at the end of April at 11 weeks pregnant. We were told no TTC for two weeks in case of infection, but starting trying two weeks to the day. A week later I started to get similar pregnancy symptoms that I had my last pregnancy, and was thrilled last week to see that I was 1 - 2 weeks pregnant on a Clearblue test. I wanted to monitor that my hormone levels were rising, so did another test yesterday but it still said 1 - 2 weeks pregnant. I read the packet and realised I should have used first urine of the day, so tried again this morning and have had a not pregnant result. I’m so confused about whether or not I’m pregnant - I did a pregnancy test in the hospital two weeks after I miscarried and it said not pregnant. Any thoughts / advice much appreciated Smile

False negatives are a lot more common than false positives.

Give it a week and test again but don’t use a pregnancy test to monitor you levels. It won’t tell you anything useful and will make you anxious. Everyone’s levels vary and the dating on those tests is a guide not accurate.

So if you’re period is late and you’ve had two positive tests I would be confident that’s good news.

A pregnancy test can’t tell you you’ve lost a pregnancy as you know from your previous loss the hormones stick around.

Best of luck and fingers crossed for you xx
