1-2 weeks clear blue but 5wks pregnant

In my last 3 pregnancies (only one successful), at this stage I got a 2-3wk positive. I’ve lost all my symptoms and don’t ‘feel’ pregnant. I have a scan in two weeks, but I honestly think it’s the end of the line. I just don’t want to wait 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks to confirm the inevitable. Is there anyway to progress this more quickly? I’ve had a lot of miscarriages, and am prone to MMC, so doubt I will bleed beforehand. Any advice from those who have been in a similar situation?

Hey sorry your going through this. Honestly i hate those tests but they have always been right fir me, i used them and have had 1-2 at 6 weeks then miscarriaged, i have also had 2-3 weeks at 7/8 weeks and its been an ectopic 😩🤦🏼‍♀️.

i have had 9 pregnacies and only one born alive, I understand its really hard. I would step away from the tests, you could call you EPU and explain ask if they will scan you earlier.

i am 7+ weeks just now but my scan on Friday only saw me at 6 weeks after a 5 weeks scan 2 werks ago so think am going to have a mmc this time, am getting 3+ on the CB but they dint really tell you the reliability if a pregnancy

i hope its all ok for you!

Really means nothing, those digital tests aren't that sensitive. If you'd even had a drink of water earlier in the day it'll affect what it picks up.

couldishouldigoforit · 27/06/2022 15:28

For me they've accurately predicted all my miscarriages and ectopics

Unlikely You would get in for an early scan with EPU based on a clearblue result (although have heard of the odd woman managing to get a scan on that basis)

Can you get a private scan done?

Thanks for the support everyone. EPU have been amazing. I already had a scan booked for 2 weeks as they scan me from 6-12 due to recurrent miscarriage. They scanned me this afternoon, diagnosed as a PUL and they’ve taken bloods. As we only had sex twice, I’m pretty confident of when we conceived, so I don’t think it’s a case of being too early. They’ve literally just phoned with my results as I was typing this and they are 88. Going back in for blood tests on Wednesday.

Glad they have been so supportive. Hopefully its not an ectopic, but if it is 88 is super low and means treatment medically is the first option. Keep us up to date with how you get on. Be thinking of you

Thank you. Yes I’ve had 3+, seen heartbeats, then had miscarriages. I’ve had 4 in total, but I did have success 14 months ago and have a wonderful little one! I think sometimes you just know, and I just didn’t feel it, even when I got a positive. I think I’m more dreading the eventual management. I’ve got such a hectic week at work, and it’s so awkward especially as I only came back from mat leave in January. I’m going for a promotion and don’t really want to tell anyone (not that it should jeopardise my chances, but I work in a very male dominated industry). I’be also just turned 40, so I know time is running out, especially with the issues I’ve had previously.

Today’s results were 77, so it’s not viable, but have to go back in on Friday for another blood test as they said it needs to get under 35.

Jml011986 · 29/06/2022 20:34

I am so sorry i hope its straightforward for you. I am very emotional today. I have one more day yo wait for scan, i know its going to be bad news, i am hoping i move forward quickly too, and we can try again.

life is so unfair and i will never understand why some women suffer so much and others have straight forwarded journeys, not that i wish loss on anyone .. just wish we all got a free pass

Cranberryclover · 30/06/2022 22:16

Thanks, and I hope the same for you. Still no sign of cramping or bleeding. Have a high strength cocodamol prescription for the eventuality. I’ve got a week of meetings and an interview next week, so I’m panicking as I just want to get it over with and try again! Bloods tomo, hopefully they can give me some more info and guidance then.

Well today’s results are 151, so it’s gone up, does this mean it’s ectopic do you think? They’re going to repeat bloods Sunday and then possible scan on Monday.

TolkiensFallow · 01/07/2022 18:51

Oh love. I have no advice but some solidarity. 99%sure I’m miscarrying currently. EPU on Monday…

surely they need to scan for ectopic asap…

Jml011986 · 01/07/2022 18:52

Hey in my experience yes mu Hcg fluctuated heaps with my ectopic. Then it slowly rose to 1599 then i had methotrexate .. then when it was 7 it ruptured 🤦🏼‍♀️

am sorry i want to say that sounds good but if your sure of your dates and they scan saw pregnancy if unknown locations then its sounds like at ectopic… i had a sudo sac with my ectopic too😩🤦🏼‍♀️

Broink · 01/07/2022 19:19

Thanks everyone. I’ve no delusions it’s a viable pregnancy. Period started 23 May, we had sex on day 12 and 14 only that month. Even if I ovulated late (I doubt as my periods are very regular), then I would still be at the minimum 4 weeks since conception now so hcg levels are too low for viability. And I had a scan on Monday and they couldn’t see anything. I’ve stopped taking the aspirin and heparin anyway. It’s just all the uncertainty. They couldn’t tell me what to expect in terms of management and said it depends on what happens after the next bloods and scan. Going to treat myself to a nice glass of wine and a steak!

Cranberryclover · 01/07/2022 19:22

Sorry had a name change as thought it could be outing! That backfired!

im sorry to hear you’re going through this too. This will be my 4th miscarriage now. When you know, it’s so heartbreaking, especially as you know what’s to come. I wish you all the luck for Monday.

Cranberryclover · 01/07/2022 19:25

Thanks JML, can I ask if they had to remove the tube, I’m terrified of this as I’m 40, and we’ve struggled for 5yrs now.

OP posts:
Jml011986 · 01/07/2022 20:52

Yes but don’t stress i have gotten pregnant 3 times since my ectopic so it hasn’t affected my fertility at all, my other tube migrated much to my suprise, my consultant confirmed ovulation from tubeless side at my early scan.

it might not be am just sharing my experience, my hood winked everyone as i had a sudo sac so everyone though it was a missed miscarriage.. and i waited 6 weeks to do anything about it.

i do pray for a miracle for you honestly we all deserve it.

take care of yourself look like EPU is taking care of you well

Jml011986 · 01/07/2022 20:55

Also wine and steak sounds ace, am just home from EPU after surgical removal if pregancy and i treaded myself to a mcdonalds.. i will be on the gin tomorrow!!

Cranberryclover · 02/07/2022 09:49

Thanks JML, and I hope you recover quickly.

Cranberryclover · 03/07/2022 21:32

Urgh, had bloods today, and they haven’t phoned me back with the results!! Have such a hectic day at the office tomo, which I don’t think I can go to now as might need to be scanned and not really anytime to arrange cover. It’s just all the uncertainty that’s driving me mad!!
