Chemical or something else?

@Elise I’m in the UK they don’t do routine blood tests for pregnancy unfortunately only if you’ve had a reason to go to EPU , they will only see me from Monday due to it being 5 weeks 1 day, but they were reluctant as they like to go from 6 weeks , but they’re going to scan and take bloods then - just confused if it was a chemical what the hell is going on, with my miscarriage after the bleeding my test went negative within a week, this is just increasing 😳
In one of my losses I did have line progression after the bleeding stopped but only for a day or two. Hopefully everything is fine for you, good luck xx
@Rheo thank you! I wasn’t expecting lines to be progressing like they have been! When I started bleeding I thought chemical straight away and with how faint the test was I though it would start getting fainter but it’s just got darker , so strange x
Not positive unfortunately but sending positive vibes. I had this and it turned out ectopic, my HcG was rising as it should but baby was in my tube. Some people do just bleed but worth being checked over! Xxx
@Charlotte thank you! I do just have a horrible feeling it could be ectopic! I have a scan on Monday! Luckily no pain currently and bleeding has stopped but I’m not feeling too positive! Xx
How did the scan go lovely? Xx
@Charlotte called it PUL for now they can’t see anything, bloods are 297 so I’m going for a repeat tomorrow to see what the pattern is! I’ve had an influx of “symptoms” today though and an awful migraine/ headache and felt nauseous, so unsure if this is a good thing but maybe it means levels are going up! Who knows guess I’ll find out Friday with my results xx
I had that with my first successful pregnancy and was earlier than I thought. I’ve been told it’s hard to see anything before 6 weeks and is rare. Hcg seems ok but everyone is different! Fingers crossed for a double rise! X
@Charlotte I’m not feeling confident, and I confirmed ovulation/ got my peak with ovulation strips so should be 5 weeks 3 days today! But not sure really! Guess we’ll find out tonight or tomorrow whenever they call with the results x
@Charlotte bloods have gone from 297 to 690+ in 48hrs 🥹🥹🥹 Another blood test tomorrow so hopefully they have doubled again 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is brilliant! Everything crossed for you! X
@Charlotte thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m praying tomorrow brings the same doubling results 🥹🥹🙏🏻
@Charlotte double again 😭🙏🏻 I have a scan on Monday! Xx
This is fab news! Xx

@Charlotte 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥹🥹🥹 I genuinely am so shocked! No idea what those 4 days of bleeding were and nurses have no idea what it could of been, praying all is good with the scan on Monday but at least I can enjoy my weekend 🥰
Hi I hope everything goes well! I had this following a chemical pregnancy. It was a PUL and in my case hcg just went down so they just did bloods to me for 1-2 weeks to confirm no more hcg.
@Filipa sorry to hear that, my bloods have been doubling just under every 48hrs so I’m being scanned again on Monday x
Sounds promising! It can be so many things! I have a friend who had periods during pregnancy! I hope all goes well tomorrow, keep us updated!
@Filipa thank you will do! X
Ectopic 😣 waiting for surgery due to my hormones more than doubling again 😣😣
I am so so sorry… I did think of ectopic too but didn’t want to say as honestly you never know and it could have been a more positive outcome. At least they caught it early which is the most important. How did the surgery go? I hope you are feeling ok, I know how stressful this is as I lived a very stressful couple weeks as I am sure mine was also an ectopic but it resolved by itself in my case. I had bleeding and hcg was actually going up for some time but then it started going down (nothing to do with my chemical where the test just went negative and then my period arrived).
@Filipa they were confused themselves as my blood isn’t following the typical ectopic pattern 🙃 I didn’t have surgery in the end yesterday, going back this morning to hopefully be the first one of the day x
So sorry about what you’re going through, I hope your surgery goes well Xx
I’m so sorry, this is what I had, my bloods went up 200% and got to choose surgery or injection, I went surgery and mine ruptured the night before I had surgery. Hope you’re ok xx
@Charlotte thank you! Spending the night in recovery as no beds on the wards but I’m okay 🫶🏻 just tired haha xx
Sorry to ask but are they sure it is ectopic? (Scan showed that) or are they thinking because of the symptoms? Keep us posted either way… I wish you good luck for the surgery, everything will be fine and your baby will be here in no time 🙏
@Filipa yes my uterus was empty on the scan with a lining too thin to sustain a pregnancy (basically post period lining of 4-6mm which makes sense with that bleed) and sac was up by the right ovary xx
If you’ve been bleeding I would get a blood test and confirm the progression for sure.
