12 dpo bfn.. Af.. Then cd8 bfp!!

[Ms.Bsky]

Guys I need your help.

I am TTC nr 1 with my DH.

This cycle i had a BFN at around 12 dpo, and then a light/medium AF without cramps. It started with brown light AF, then like 2 days of like brownis red, and then 2 days of brown.. TMI i know.

So i was already preparing for the next cycle. Bought some OPK´s and a 2 HPT´s for the month to come. So i come home and do an OPK and its like flaming red, much darker then the control line.. so I ofcourse, the PCOS addict I am, peed immediately on a HPT, and it turned very positive in like 30 seconds, but still the T line is a little lighter then the C line.

I did another one.. also posiitve...

what is this??? am i pregnant or did i miscarry?
Did any of you have this and end up being fine??
Please help me

It's possible your pregnant and that what you thought was a f was just spotting ? I am no expert by any means so if it was me I'd see the doc.

Either situation is possible hun. Could have been a early loss but your levels are taking a while to fall or could be you just experienced some implantation bleeding or sporting which can be common in the first few weeks. Best way for you to know is to go and see a doctor. Repeat bloods will see if your hcg levels are rising. I truly hope this is your bfp! Will keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Ms.Bsky]

Thank you for answering!

Yes i guess it could be either way.

I started to be suspicious today because i was so tired at like 8pm, i felt it was already midnight at least. And i have been so hungry and thirsty. so i visited the pharmacy..

Well i hope, pray and wish im really pregnant

Maybe the reason is that my luteal phase is quite short. My cycle is around 28 days and i ovulate on day 17-18

 

[Ms.Bsky]

where do i begin..

so because of the spotting, that i thought was my period, bfore my bfp, i went to my doctor, she did me an transvaginal ultrasound and didnt see anything, nothing in the tubes and nothing in the uterus or outside of it.

She said it could be one out of 3 things
1- to early to see- because i ovulate late and would only be like 4.5 week along
2- miscarriage that is going on- of an intrauterine or extrauterine fetus that didnt make it
3- worst of all...ectopic pregnancy

For the moment she called it an Pregnancy of Unknown Location(PUL)
and gave me a referral to the ER the morning after to do an early US in their machine, which is better, and to do an HCG.

In the ER a technician did my US and said that there is some fluid in the endometrium, and possibly something ectopic, but she wasnt sure, and told me its usually extremely hard to find.

The first dr. that saw me wanted to hospitalize me and i was shocked, i didn understand whats going on.. hospitalization!! really??

Then there was a shift change and another dr. came in and went over the results from the US and the beta hcg that was 447 and told me that according to the beta hcg im around 4w3days and that its locical not to see anything so early. So he did me a physical down there, said that this tiny bleeding was non significant, but didnt tell me anything about the cervix, if its open or closed. (if its open... its a sign of miscarriage)

So i went home.. completely confused. My temperatures stay up around 37,3-37,5. I have no cramps, tiny spotting continues. and i feel bloated.

I feel like it will take forever until tomorrow, but then im going for a second hcg at the hospital.

Im so scared that i have an ectopic, and im so wishing and hoping that its simply an early pregnancy that will be fine and beautiful.

I need some support and please, if someone had similar experience, please share..

Hi hun, i really hope you get some good news. I think it is way too early to see anything on ultrasound..

First off, try not to panic about ectopic at this stage. Technically an ectopic pregnancy cannot be diagnosed until hcg levels are above 1500 and there is nothing visualized within the uterus (some sources will even say 6000). The risk of rupture is small as the majority of ectopics implant where there isn't enough blood supply for them to grow large enough to pose a risk and will just naturally take care of themselves without complications (statistically this happens 68-80% of the time with ectopic pregnancies. The other 20-32% of the time it doesn't mean it did or would have ruptured, but rather the drs medically managed it so there's non way to have more accurate statistics beyond that).
When your hcg reaches 1500 you can get another scan and have a better idea of your situation.

Additionally, bleeding in pregnancy, especially when period(s) would be due is extremely common. When bleeding occurs that is mistaken for a period it is often just heavy implantation bleeding. But occasionally sometimes you can continue to get breakthrough bleeding every month when you would normally have had your period.

In have actually had this scenario happen to me twice. In February I got a super faint bfp and then 2 days later started to bleed and had a normal seeming 3 day red bleed and a couple weeks later I felt a heaviness to my uterus and poas and to my surprise got a bfp. Safely I did lose that pregnancy but I don't think it had anything to do with the bleeding as I know many others who have had the same happen and had healthy babies.
And this pregnancy was similar, only I tested in the middle of the bleeding cause it was so weird - more like how you described, brown spotting, brownish red bleeding for a day or two, and then more spotting and I have carried on testing. I have a scan on Monday and will know better ho this pregnancy is going then but I have a good feeling.

 

[Ms.Bsky]

Thank you so much for sharing, it helps a lot. And congratulations on your bfp I hope and wish for your pregnancy this time will be perfectly fine. Keep me posted

For me, however it goes, i said to my husband that now, at least, we know our sperm and egg can meet and make a baby so thats something positive

now im still spotting brown/prunelike discharge. so its like the 11th day of spotting.... (started when my af was due). Still no cramps. Still moody .. so there must be some progestrone bothering me still hahah
My breasts are full but not really painful. I'm warm and a little nauseous here and there.

now its a waiting game for the next beta... úff

Good luck, I hope it turns out to be a normal healthy pregnancy


And sorry for the typos. I hate my phone for typing.

I hope you'll get fine and you'll end up happily pregnant. I got some decidual bleeding in my first pregnancy. It started DPO 12 and I just thought my period were early. Then it stopped after two or three days. I got suspicious and did the test few days after that. it was a BFP with strong line. I guess it's a good sign that your test line was a good one. In very early miscarriages BFP lines are usually faint.

 

[Ms.Bsky]

I also hope so! I read about all kinds of bleedings, but mine is for so long now... so im a little less hopeful, honestly i started to think that i had a miscarriage that just didnt bleed so much. But then again my hpt's are still strong.

oh well, time will tell, tomorrow we will see what the hcg will be

 

[lewood88]

Hey hun i always seem to bleed in my pregnancys with dd1 i spotted on and off the whole way through first tri and my dd waa born healthy i wouldng worry hun and tbe fact you have symptoms is promising

Congratulations hun and a healthy and happy 9 months

 

[Ms.Bsky]

Really, the whole first trimester. ok. that gives me a little hope.
This thread is keeping my sanity until tomorrow! thank you guys, i really appreciate it

 

[stiletto_mom]

No words of advice, but just hoping for good news for you guys!

 

[Ms.Bsky]

a small update before i go to do the second beta.

Today i woke up and was craving milk like crazy, drank a huge glass of chocolate milk (low sugar) and i was so nauseous after, usually its not a problem for me, so that made me more hopeful.

Second my breasts are definitely a little sore on the sides, and for sure bigger and fuller, at least that´s what my husband says

My temperatures are still 37.3 C in the morning, staying the same since i knew im pregnant.

I want to scream from joy that i am in fact finally pregnant, but im afraid its too early, and then ill be so down if something is not like it is supposed to.

I will update after my blood work in few hours.

Wish me luck!:wave:

 

[NDH]

Good luck

 

[charliekay]

Good luck xx

 

[meg_bellamy]

Good luck hun!!!

 

[Ms.Bsky]

UPDATE, not so great news:

Hcg today 375, 16% lowering since 2 days ago.

Nothing ectopic found on TVUS. But also nothing special in the uterus, but the lining self is thicker, it was 6 mm and now its 18 mm.

They want me to stay home for a week! just in case, if its an ectopic, so it wont burst and bleed.

Im taking it easy, not as devastated as i thought i would be, i guess i had time to prepare for these news. Like I said before, at least we know we can do it

Now i just have to hope that the HCG will continue to go down by it self, without any intervention. Unless there will be a miracle and somehow this pregnancy will be viable..have you ever heard of an HCG decrease ending up a healthy pregnancy?? unlikely huh

Still slight brown spotting, and no pain or cramping.

Thank you so much for your support, it has helped me a lot. Ill keep you posted

 

[wannabemomy37]

Wishing you the best! I have heard of low hcg turning into a viable pregnancy, so I wouldn't completely count yourself out. Being in limbo is tough tho. ..just prepare for the worst and hope for the best!!!
