Worried sick - bleeding but positive tests?

[elnmummy]

Hi everyone
I'm new here; I am Abi and have 2 DD's who are 4.5 and 2.5 years old. We had a molar pregnancy with our first pregnancy 6 years ago and have been TTC #3 for 6 months.

Anyway I tested last Saturday (May 1st) and got a BFP on CB normal and on a Superdug test. That was 2 days before AF due. Had a teeeeeny bit of brown spotting on Sunday but then nothing. ON the Tuesday as I was making tea I got strong AF-arriving cramps, went to the loo and had browny-pink bleeding. That has carried on until yesterday (2 days longer than AF) but lighter than AF. I also had cramping on Tues night.

Of course I think I have lost the baby and had a chemical pg. BUT because of the molar pg I needed to check whether this is classed as a m/c (in which case I have to have follow up treatment for 10 weeks and we can't try again in that time) or a chemical pg which would mean we can try again. So I saw the GP who has referred me to EPAU as she said that it doesn't necessarily mean I have lost the pg.

So this was a week ago almost and I am still getting BFPs - even on internet cheapies they are coming up quickly. I know that I could still have HCG in my system but the lines are getting stronger.....?

Today I caved and did a CB digi today and that said pregnant 1-2 weeks. But it's about 3 weeks (tomorrow or Weds) since I conceived. I know they are not that accurate but even so......?

So could I be completely deluding myself; I am going out of my mind and can't stand the thought of waiting till weds then having to go back 2 days later for more blood tests as I doubt they will see much at 5 weeks even on an internal scan? Also I would be ovulating mid week and if we have lost it I don't want to miss an opportunity to try again if we can (!)

DH thinks I could be losing a twin and of course I know loads of people who have had this happen and gone on to have healthy pregnancies. What do you think? Sorry this is so long!

Thanks in advance

It doesnt sound good to be honest but there is a possibility that it could have been twins I gues. To be honest I dont really know that much about it. Sorry - Im not much help

Hope everything turns out ok. Keeping my fingers crossed for you x

If the pregnancy is still viable and growing, they should be able to see a sac with an internal US at 5 weeks - maybe even a fetal pole.

If you are still getting positive tests, it is very, very unlikely that you will ovulate, so don't worry about "missing a chance".

Hope it goes ok for you at your scan x

It is impossible to say what has happened until you have been to the EPAU for blood tests and a scan. Browny-pink bleeding does not automatically mean a MC or CP. I had browny-pink spotting until 6 wks with this pregnancy and it turned out to be just my cervix playing up (nearly 20wks now). You will hear lots of similar stories. It can go either way with bleeding, that's why you really need to have it investigated. It may be too early to see much on a scan. What they can do instead is blood tests to see how high your HCG is and more importantly, whether it is doubling fast enough to suggest a viable pregnancy. Once it gets above a certain level, they will scan to check that the gestation sac is in the womb, and then re-scan to look for a heartbeat some time after 6 weeks.

Sorry you are going through this awful wait. I had the same thing with this pregnancy (after a previous MC) and it was torturous, not daring to hope but also not being able to give up on the pregnancy and move on. I found all I could do was take it one day at a time and try hard to distract myself.

Re: trying again, if you have stopped bleeding, it is probably safe to have sex whether you are still pregnant or not.

Good luck and hope this is a sticky one for you.

I had spotting and light bleeding,it was just implantation,and they could see the sac on the scan at 5 weeks and the heartbeat a week later.I do hope you are ok,you need to be at the epu being scanned asap.
