Hi everyone
First time poster here. I took a positive pregnancy test on Wednesday, but only a few hours later started bleeding. It’s continued since - although lighter than my usual period. I had a telephone appointment with the early pregnancy unit at my local hospital and while it could be any number of things at this stage, they said it could be a chemical pregnancy and to retest again in two weeks.
This is all really new to me - it’s the first time I’ve conceived, and I haven’t really told anybody yet because it’s so early, so I don’t have any experiences to compare it to - but I feel less ‘pregnant’ than I did on Wednesdays. Less breast tenderness etc and no real other side effects yet.
So my question is, would it be too early to retest now? I will obviously still take the test in the recommended two weeks time, but would another test now (three days after the initial positive) potentially be negative by now?
I feel okay about it really if it is a chemical pregnancy (with no offence or disrespect intended to people who have experienced this and found it very difficult) because I guess I wouldn’t have even known if I hadn’t tested that day and would have presumed this is just my period...
Any advice gratefully received - two weeks just feels like a long time to have no idea what’s happening in my body. Though I guess if I am pregnant I’d better get used to that!
Thank you all in advance x
