Pregnancy Week Indicator Changing !!! help

Hi Everyone, I got a 2-3 week window when I was 4 weeks pregnant which I was over the moon with, when I hit around 5 weeks I tested again obviously hoping it had increased to the 3+ weeks , however it had actually gone down to 1-2 weeks! I put it down to me testing during the day rather than FMU so I waited a few days 5+3 days and did first urine and still said 1-2 weeks . So I’m really fearing the worst now as every story I’ve come across where the result has gone backwards hasn’t seemed to end well. I’ve also had very dark brown discharge for over a week, so I’m just presuming this will probably turn into blood 😭😭😭 I’m wondering if anyone has had this where the pregnancy has actually progressed. I know these tests can be inaccurate but it’s the fact mine was accurate then declining is what concerns me . Thanks ❤️ xx

So sorry to hear your going through this. Have you tried to contact EPAU to get BHCGs? Contact your midwife for a referral or Gp.

I did have similar backnin March/Aprio but never went past 1-2 even though I was meant to be 6 weeks. But I had bright red spotting which turned into a heavy flow after 5 days. I went to EPAU and they confirmed POUL - likely ectopic and that my BHCG were abnormal. So I knew not viable.

I hope you get answers soon either way.

Thanks for your reply , I have a 6 week scan booked so I’m trying to hold out a few days till that because a one off blood test won’t give me much answers with the broad ranges of hormone levels. I keep thinking I’ll see red blood but nothing of yet I guess I have to see that as a positive but I can’t help thinking staying now on 1-2 weeks is enough of a sign . Thanks for taking the time to reply I’ll update … xx

Probably not what you want to hear but when this has happened to me (3 times)the pregnancy always ended. Sorry OP, hopefully you'll have a different outcome. I'll keep everything crossed for you x
