5 weeks Pregnant Clear Blue Not Progressing...

I really need some reassurance and help please...

This is my second pregnancy, my first pregnancy I went for an early Scan at 8.5 weeks to an empty gestational sac.
We went back a week later, to discover there was now what they call ' the diamond ring' expected for around 5/6 weeks not the expected 9.5 weeks.
10 days later, that pregnancy didn't progress, and I had to medically miscarry.

I am now expected to be 5 weeks 2 days into my second pregnancy.
My last period started 25th April, and I conceived between 9th - 11th May. (14, 15, 16 days into my cycle)

I found out I was pregnant on 20th May with a faint test, that then a clear blue digi showed up as '1-2 weeks pregnant' (image attached)

It is now the 30th May, and I have done two more Clear Blue digi's and they aren't progressing. I've started to do a test every day and they are still quite faint. (image attached)

I've had to stop doing tests now and booked an appointment with my therapist who helped me when I lost previously. I have also asked my midwife for an early scan but that won't be until 2 weeks.
However, I just need some advice on if this has happened to anyone else and ended succesfully? Or if I should just prepare for another loss....

Symptoms, boobs are sore, tired and starting to feel nauseous.

I've had a little slight muscular like pain on my left side briefly, and bleeding wise i've had none.

Any help or advice would be amazing.

xx

If this was me I would be counting on a loss but some people have low rising HCG levels . I’m sorry OP I’ve been there myself .

I am currently away atm and have a digital at home waiting for me to take at weekend so im hoping it says 2/3 or 3 plus. I have a private scan booked in for 2 weeks to check viability as well as im so much older than my previous pregnancies so more paranoid

I have done another clear blue Digi, it still is sitting at 1-2 weeks. That's why I started the cheaper tests to see if the line got darker or lighter...

Hope your scan goes well. x

You could book HCG blood tests privately 48 hours apart which would give you a good idea of whether the pregnancy is progressing. Alternatively wait for a scan unfortunately that's the only way of knowing for sure. Fingers crossed for a good result x

Hcg typically rises every 72 hours x

HCG should at least double every 48 hours for a viable pregnancy

If it's making you really anxious I would ask EPU/ your GP for a blood test to check your HCG.

Have you had any bleeding or anything?
