Pregnancy test lines fading

[JJxxxxx]

Any similar experience or advice?
I had a chemical pregnancy end of April. This month we found out we are pregnant again, I should be around 5weeks 3 days along. After experiencing the chemical I have been very anxious about it all and have been testing daily 🫣
last night I had some very sharp aching pain in my left side hip. It settled after a while (15mins or so) I then woke in the night a couple of times with what I can only describe as a stabbing pain in my vagina…
this morning I have tested and my line are so much lighter ( my urine was VERY dark but no blood) I also took a clear blue that has set me back to 1-2 weeks ☹️ When I tested Monday it was 2-3 ☹️I’m pretty certain I am having another chemical… has anybody had any similar experience? My last I had cramps and bleeding so I knew immediately this is like a horrible waiting game for the bleed.
I have booked in with the clinic tomorrow for a scan (this was already booked in because of my anxiety after previous chemical)

@JJxxxxx Hey, I wanted to ask how did you get on with your appointment, what did they day? HCG urine test aren’t the most accurate because of it not being concentrated at times. I have read some HCG dips and can go back up and have a safe pregnancy. Cramps are common in pregnancy. Anything is possible.

i had an ectopic pregnancy at the same time at 5 weeks, it felt like sharp trapped wind in my hip on my left side. I’m pregnant again 4 weeks two days and having aches and twinges in my left hip less commonly my right, I do have a lot of wind in my torso. Still kind of worried but trying to stay balanced.

Hey
I’m sorry to hear about your ectopic!
unfortunately my situation ended in another chemical pregnancy the evening that I posted this😢 so I never made it to the scan appointment as the bleeding started the night before I was due to go.
I can tell you that in my hours of emotional research I did read that twinges etc on left side are normal so try not to panic with it.
I did find the early pregnancy clinic were very helpful with offering reassurance scan etc because of my high anxiety with it all… they will likely see you as you have experienced the ectopic maybe worth giving them a call so you can have some reassurance…
wishing you the best of luck that this is your sticky bean 😘

@JJxxxxx I'm sorry your pregnancy has ended in a chemical pregnancy. Hope you are doing OK. Are you going to speak to a doctor? I know most chemical pregnancies there's nothing you can do but in my research a small percentage can be clotting / implantation issues. This pregnancy I self prescribed baby asprin before and after I conceived, it's 75mg, research shows such a low does doesn't affect the baby but it can improve blood flow by slightly thinning the blood, getting more oxygen to the uterus and helps with implanting. I read it can be prescibe to women who have more than one miscarriage and in some prevented miscarriage reoccurrence.

Thanks, yeah I already have an appointment booked for next Tuesday at the EPU. With my ectopic, because its life threatening, you have to be monitored early in future pregnancies, so I'm seeing them when I am 5 and a half weeks pregnant. I hope they see a baby its so early.

I feel 50/50. The light ache in my left hip is where my last ectopic was. But this pregnancy is very different to last time I'm having real pregnancy symptoms, tired, falling asleep during the day, full of gas in my torso where I can hear it and its uncomfortable, so hoping it is a stitch from the gas and I do feel twinges in my left side.

Pregnancy can be so hard. I bled for 12 weeks, in physical pain, so really hoping not to go through that again with the methotrexate injection. Will ask for surgery if possible. Hope its not ectopic.

Hope you are coping OK.

Thank you for your message (I’m not the best at navigating around this site so I have only just seen 🫣😂)
I’m doing okay thank you, I have decided I’m going to have a break from trying I think I have put myself through too much heartbreak with it all with it all being so close together and it’s probably not the best idea to risk going through again until Iv had some GP advice… Getting a drs app around here is mission impossible so I will make a app with the doctors now for whenever it may be and see if they can run some tests before trying again. Iv seen other threads on here where others have suggested baby aspirin so I will definitely ask about this to… thank you 😊
how are you feeling now? Is your appointment soon?

@JJxxxxx it's good to here that you're thinking of your emotional welfare and decided to take a break. When you're ready then trying again hopefully will be better. You are getting pregnant so that's a positive

I'm 40, been trying for years so after my ectopic traumatic experience I continued trying because of my age and its said you are more likely to have a baby as you're more fertile after a loss.

So with this current pregnancy my hcg lines faded like yours just before the 5th week. Went to the EPU and they confirmed I've lost the pregnancy. It's disappointing but I'm thankful it's not like my ectopic experience

I’m sorry to hear 😢like you said actually getting pregnant is a huge positive!
im sure your time will come very soon 😘

Thank you for checking in on me
wishing you all the luck 🍀
