Looking for reassurance 4-5 weeks

Hello
I have confirmed pregnancy (through blood test)
My last period started 4th May however I ovulated a week later therefore believe I'm 4 weeks.

hcg was 69 yesterday and retesting tomorrow.
I believe I had implementation spotting Saturday followed by brown discharge the sunday.

today (Thursday) I had more pink blood when I wiped for around an hour - it has now stopped but I am terribly worried due to prev mc x2 .
tests are getting darker (I know I need to step away - attached photo)

not sure what I'm hoping from here but maybe similar experiences of this?

i am having a lot of symptoms already of pregnancy that I never did previously!

It's still early days - but unless you start bleeding ... try not to worry too much!

I would try & stop testing for now ... take another test (not an early detention one) in a week or so, to see if I got the dye stealer.

CONGRATULATIONS 🥳

@bracemyselfagain thank you! I was set on having a super positive mindset but seeing some blood just throw me - glad it's stopped now!

thank you again

thank you again

That bit of pink blood & brown discharge could very well be implantation bleeding ... I've recently had the brown discharge I think a day before my period, so I just starting gearing up for the full flow, which never arrived, a BFP did instead.

For now sweetheart, it's completely out of your hands. Easier said than done but try not to stress and accept that whatever will be, will be.
The more calm you are, the better for you & the little egg 😊
Genuinely wish you all the best.

@BagelO your hcg does sound quite low. The most important thing is that it doubles on your next test. Sending you lots of baby dust xx

BagelO · 08/06/2023 09:44

@bracemyselfagain wishing you the best also - it's such a wild rise of emotions!!!

@CR7 I did think this but then realised I'd have been likely 3 + 6 (just under 4 weeks) so seemed ok based on these charts. Hoping the best for tomorrow then Tuesdays follow up drs.
🙏

@BagelO you're absolutely right. I thought you were further on x

BagelO · 08/06/2023 10:21

@CR7 that's ok - it's so hard in early stage as that week late ovulation makes a huge difference it feels 😆it wasn't till day 22 ovulation and only 14 dpo today!

might mean a valentines baby though! 😁

@BagelO reading your thread makes me think we are very similar! my lmp was 8th May, got my static smiley face on cycle day 16th (23rd May) still testing 1-2 weeks on a clear blue digital! But interestingly epau rang me this morning and said my hcg levels are only 98.7 which she said was low but could be because it's an early pregnancy!? I know how you feel hun because I am worried also x

BagelO · 08/06/2023 12:44

@MummyTo4BoysXXXX yeah I think when your trying it's easy to pick up your pregnancy very early . I am hoping items doubled tomorrow and that will give me the reassurance I need - the weekend is going to go so slow!!!!

My ovulation was 25th May I think so we are nearly exact !

are you going for a retest to see the climb?

MummyTo4BoysXXXX · 08/06/2023 13:59

@BagelO yes I am have to go back on Saturday for more bloods! Is this your first pregnancy? x

BagelO · 08/06/2023 14:05

@MummyTo4BoysXXXX my third - both previous losses .

I can see from your name you have 4 boys wow amazing! Will this be your 5th? 😊

@BagelO after my first 3 boys, I went on to have 3 recurrent misscarriages (hence the worry I feel) & then last year I found out i was pregnant on mothers day, gave birth to my 4th boy in November so only 7 months ago lol so this came as a surprise as when I first took a digital on Friday it said not pregnant! So was in a state of shock/disbelief lol.. sorry to hear you've lost also hun its heartbreaking isn't it! Hope both our HCG's double like they should 🙏🤞 have you got one of each gender if you don't mind me asking? 😊

Oh that's great news! Congrats 🥳

Yes, I think I'm around 5-6w ... quite a big surprise tbh, my partner and I did the deed literally ONCE in the space of two months ... and my DD is only 6m. So, heads been in a slight spin wondering how I'm going to cope with 2 under 2, plus I had quite a difficult birth with my daughter & became very poorly afterwards; but still - I'm hoping this little bean sticks & is healthy etc 🥰🥰
