I had my postive on Sunday just gone ( faint lines ) Last period was 9th nov making me 4 weeks and 6 days but this does not take into account that I may have gotten my ovulation days wrong and also implanted late perhaps.
I have been having progressively darkening strips starting off with super faint positives at 18dpo (late I know) to much darker strips but by no means dye stealers.
Clearblue digital was showing 1-2 weeks as recent as a few days ago which I know it should be more along the lines of 2-3 by now.
Fast forward to yesterday - I had strong kidney/flank pains in my sides (not in the abdomen) and a strange pain in my Shoulders and arms - immediately I was scared to death and thought ectopic! and rushed myself to A&E where after bloods and after a urine test they have confirmed my hcg level is a little low at 205 and they are going to take bloods again on Monday morning which I am so happy about as I'm hoping it will show up what the issue is - a few other things that happened were :
I started getting brown spotting/ faint light pink on one occasion I went to the bathroom spotting has stopped now
They scanned me - they said at 205 hcg they really don't think they can see anything on a scan which ended up being correct but they could also not see any growth in any abnormal areas which was reassuring.
Doctor seemed pretty confident she doesn't think it's ectopic she couldn't see any fluid or any ruptures or anything which was reassuring. She also confirms she can see the uterine line thickening as if my body is preparing for baby.
In conclusion I will be going back on Monday for those bloods - they said if my levels double they will scan me again and if they don't then it will be a waiting game. I know I am super early still and anything can happen at this point but has anyone had a similar situation.
they gave me a leaflet about pregnancy of unknown location which I immediately threw away because I did not want to overthink anything - but they did also agree that it is far to early to determine anything so will be keeping a close eye on me.
I'm trying to be as calm as possible about this but being in limbo is killing me as someone who is a mega control freak and dealing with trauma from my previous miscarriage back in august - it feels like it's all coming back when I worked so hard to get back to feeling like myself. I refuse to let this get to me like it did last time but I am Trying to be realistic also as last time I suffered so badly I didn't think I would ever get through it. I've come so far and I am trying to protect myself so I am Preparing myself for the worst case scenario even though it could all be fine by some miracle but also the realist in me says surely with the spotting and them not being able to see anything on the scan all signs are leading to miscarriage perpahs?
Would so welcome any positive stories! Can't believe I am writing on this thread again :(
