Hi there,
Just wanting to vent my anxieties right now.,, nothing anyone will be able to do to change the outcome I’m just a bit confused.
7+6 today, though I stopped counting at 6+4.
I had a bleed for a week, cramping, lost clots and generally the toilet was just carnage. I had cramping over a few days, assumed everything progressing as it has before.
Now previously after a miscarriage and indeed after the birth of my daughter my cycle snaps right back into place. I’ve had a few miscarriages over the years, and always the day after bleeding stops I get a negative test result & peace of mind that the deed is done and I can move forward.
So imagine my surprise when I did a test, and the positive was still there, at 2pm in the afternoon. Accompanied by familiar early pregnancy symptoms I’d had before the miscarriage.
I called EPU left a message and waited impatiently for a call back.
They got back to me and agreed by my usual bodily behaviour that didn’t sound normal. So I went for a blood test today to check hormones on that front and was told we’d plan next steps from there.
I’m just waiting around for those results to come back, they said it should be tomorrow sometime.
I had already gone through the process in my thoughts and resigned myself to the loss. Accepting this wasn’t the time for baby no.2.
I know tests can start positive for a while after. But mine usually don’t. Surely there would be a weaker positive at least?
I don’t want to get my hopes up, I’m going by I lost the baby and somethings just gone a bit off, so my body may need assistance.
I’ve had no other pain since the 3rd day of bleeding, nothing other than cramps either. Felt mildly nauseous on and off when hungry mostly. & ultimately sat here wondering impatiently what’s going on!
A friend of mine has said I could’ve had multiples and lost one… I’m in shock and know I won’t get results at 8am but I’m really wishing I could 😅I hate not knowing
