Negative pregnancy test.

Hi, I recently had a miscarriage (4 weeks ago) how long did it take everyone to get a completely negative pregnancy test? I’m still having faint positives.

Unfortunately we are all different, My HCG went within a week via blood testing 😕 I hope everything adjusts soon for you, sending love x ❤️

It can vary so much. The longest mine has taken was 5 and a half weeks.

All depends how late your miscarriage was . If it was later on your hcg would be very high and it takes time to go down . I had one at 6 weeks and it took 6 weeks to be completely negative . After my miscarriage at 17 weeks and it took way longer to go down

Thank you all, I’m so sorry you’ve all gone through this too - it’s truly heartbreaking. I was 9 weeks, so I guess it will just take time to go down, it’s reassuring to know that
It can be normal for it to take a bit longer.

It took me 5-6 weeks with each of my miscarriages to test negative

Everyone is different. I miscarried in 27th of June at 8 almost 9 weeks and yesterday my HCG was 9 so it’s most gone but it will take a few more days till a negative result.

My GP told me that if I'm still positive after 4 weeks, go see him to rule out no tissue is left. X

yes this is what I’m worried about, but it does seem that 3/4 weeks isn’t long enough going by the other comments. Hope your doing ok xx

Mine was 6 weeks, I was having weekly blood tests which showed it was going down just so slowly! I had an MMC confirmed on 21st June and just started my first period 2 days ago. I read so many things about people being negative the week after miscarriage and thought something was wrong with me taking so long, but the more I read the more I realised it’s normal ❤️

aw I’m so sorry! It’s so difficult isn’t it. I’m at a point where I just want it over with so I can move on, it’s just heart breaking waiting to see that negative test. Hope you’re doing ok.

two of my 3 losses were missed miscarriages as well. I think they take longer because technically your body is still producing HCG after baby is gone even though it isn’t as high as it should be. I had to have multiple blood tests as well and I thought the same thing, why can’t my levels go back

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?
