After 4 months of trying I got pregnant in my February cycle. 6 weeks later I had a miscarriage, had blood tests a couple of weeks later and level was down at 3. My period didn't come back for 6 weeks after miscarriage bleeding(which wasn't painful and was like a lighter than normal period). Started OPK tracking again, DTD at good time around Ovulation, 37 days later I still hadn't had my period (usually 28-31 day cycles) I did a pregnancy test waited 3mins and no line, 6mins it shows a line....so I assume evap line. 2 days later I have a heavy period with bad cramping for 2 days.....LOTS of big clots (id say 50% heavier than my bormal period) so I assume no pregnancy this month. CD8 I take an OPK to start tracking again and it shows very high, so do a pregnancy test and a clear line shows up....it's been a week now and the line isn't fading, it's possibly slightly progressing.....

Unsure what's happening now, I was hoping someone might have been in a similar situation or be an expert. Does this sound like an incomplete miscarriage or an ectopic? (I've had an ectopic before which was horrifically painful, so doesn't feel the same as before).

I had a very similar thing happen.
Dtd during ovulation in January, Got a bfn 14dpo. Af came 15dpo ( normal af heavy and lasted 4 days.) Done opk day 7 and blazing positive. Took pregnancy test and a strong positive. Unfortunately for me this resulted in bleeding acouple of days later and then negative pregnancy tests.
I really do hope you have a better outcome!🤞🍀

@kiwiburgh I don't have much hope of it being a viable pregnancy either :( just scared of it being a blighted ovum or incomplete pregnancy where I'll need medical management. I'm going to call the doctors and ask them to do some tests x

Hi OP, I think this could go either way.
If your test lines are getting stronger that's a good sign.
You may have a sub chorionic haematoma which is bleeding.
The best thing would be to ask for a scan and blood tests.
I hope it works out for you.

@TheShellBeach thanks for replying, I only had a short heavy bleed with clots 13 days after ovulation, so I don't think it's a SCH as if sounds like I would still be bleeding now :( my HGC tests are pretty much starting consistent so no real progression :(

I had my period but now have a BFP

I had this, blazing positive then next day super heavy cramping lots of blood and clots, but only for 2 days max, booked a private scan for next day (Sunday) and I was 7 weeks pregnant and heartbeat detected, couldn't believe it! 8 months on and I'm currently sat here feeding my 4 week old baby!

So if test is getting stronger it's definitely worth getting checked out, I never had any more bleeding from the SCH for the rest of my pregnancy!

How long since your last period /ovulation?

Rtmhwales · 22/06/2023 04:24

I think you may need to get checked out either way. This is how my ectopic went.

Ecas88 · 22/06/2023 07:54

@Whataretheodds last period was 60 days ago

@Anyday that's so lovely to hear, I'm glad things worked out that way for you :)
I don't feel convinced it's a pregnancy as I have almost no symptoms or extremely mild ones. With my DS1, I knew I was pregnant almost instantly, my pregnancy symptoms were very strong 😞

@Rtmhwales I agree, just trying to not go mad with the waiting. I called the doctor a week ago and they told me it's too early and to call back in 1-2 weeks if i still have positive tests, It's been a week today so hopefully they will do something now, I can't wait another week 😣

I know, it's awful having to wait it out.
SCHs don't bleed constantly, btw. They can stop and start.

Ecas88 · 22/06/2023 19:06

@TheShellBeach it's been the longest week 😩 I've got a scan booked for Monday so hopefully I'll get an answer then. I'll update for future reference x

Ended up with my second ectopic pregnancy. I think the thing that gave it away the most was the, heavy clotted bleeding, statics pregnancy tests and 0 pregnancy symptoms.

So sorry to hear that, hope you are ok

Hi, did you find out cause of your ectopic. I am in similar situation. Thanks
