Chemical Pregnancy

[sastro2023]

I am currently having what I believe to be a chemical pregnancy.

I would be about 5 weeks pregnant, I am on day 2 of bleeding.
my tests are still positive, I think getting fainter.

reading online it says that tests are normally negative and then the bleeding starts.

should I be worried my tests are still positive?
I have red blood with clots and it’s quite heavy like a period.

i also have some light pain in my groin and hip occasionally.

i am waiting to speak to epau and my gp but they are closed currently so thought I’d ask here first

thanks

I'm so sorry love, sending all my love to you💞

I had a chemical pregnancy and I got a positive test, then a week later to the exact date of the positive test I started bleeding. Had a scan and the sac was empty, nothing there and I was advise to take a test and it said not pregnant. Please contact your doctor in the morning and be seen x

Thank you ❤️

My tests are still showing as positive but I’m very clearly having a MC so wondered if that’s normal.

I will call my GP in the morning to see if that’s normal.

how far gone were you when they scanned you?

Can be very normal. I've had 4 miscarriages. First was at 8 weeks when I started to bleed, second was a chemical, 3rd was another miscarriage at 8/9 weeks, last one was a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. I now have a little girl❤️

My tests with my last miscarriage were still strong, but the weeks indicator on the digital test went from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 weeks so the HCG was dropping. I think very normal to still have positive tests as you'll still have HCG in your system

Thank you so much. Hopefully that is all it is.
So hard to not worry there is more to it.

Sending all my love back, sounds like you’ve had a hard time. Admire you 🩷

Sorry you're going through this, it is truly rubbish.

When I had my CP I tested positive (quite faint) at around 4 and a half weeks then started bleeding a few days later. Like you it was clear to me it was a miscarriage so I didn't have any false hope of still being pregnant but my tests stayed faintly positive for a few weeks after the bleeding. I was just using the cheap test sticks I already had but they were very sensetive so still picking up the tiniest amount of hcg.

So sorry to hear you went through this too.

I have come to terms with the chemical pregnancy now because I know it’s very clearly the outcome.

Yeah I am using the cheap ones as I know it’s only to see if they’ve become negative yet and don’t want to waste the expensive ones.
They seem to be quite good a picking up positives so hopefully I start to see it fading a lot more over the next few days.
I am only on day 2 so I’m sure I have a way to go yet.

Thank you for the reassurance that a positive can be normal even though it’s clearly coming to an end.
