Hi everyone and sorry in advance for the long post.
Last week I thought we were successful as I felt so rough, had cramps and other signs of pregnancy that I had when I was pregnant with my son. On Friday I tested and it was BFN. Saturday morning I was devastated as I started what I thought was my period (which was due that day), however it was so much lighter (light to medium flow) and had no cramps. It stopped abruptly on Sunday night which further made me think it was weird. On a whim I tested in the early hours of yesterday (monday) morning (as I couldn't sleep) on a FRER and had what I thought was a faint BFP! A few hours later I did another test on another brand (Forelife) with different urine and also got another faint BFP (I will attach both photos of the test to this below this post)!
Literally an hour after taking the 2nd test I started to spot watery pink blood. It was there when I wiped with hardly any staining on the pad (sorry tmi).
I went to my GP, and explained that I just took 2 tests, both came positive however I was now spotting. I also said that I tested on Friday and that it was negative and only got the positives today. He said that some bleeding was fine but that we should do an urgent blood test. He also said I should try to rest as much as possible and signed me off this week (I did however go into my office yesterday - maybe I shouldn't have- but I stayed home today).
I had to go in (luckily the medical centre is opposite our apartment) and get my results in person as they would not give it to me over the phone but my regular GP was not there in the evening and I had to see another one.
My results were at 12 hcg which are low and he bluntly told me that basically I am experiencing a chemical pregnancy and that I should go home, wait for a big bleed and then try again!!!! I could not believe it! I tried to ask if my numbers were so low as it may be because I have only just implanted and that maybe it was too early however he said no it was definitely a chemical due to the date of my LMP and that there was no point to do the 2nd bloods that my regular GP had me booked to do on Thursday.
I am absolutely gutted. Last night I did have more spotting which was watery bright red, but only when wiping. It's since stopped and I have checked my cervix and its medium high, soft and closed.
Am I clutching at straws? I can't get any more tests until tomorrow evening as my OH gets paid then. I still feel very light cramps and a pulling/tugging sensation plus tiredness just as I felt with my other pregnancy, however other than that I have no symptoms. Does anyone have any similar experiences? Am I right in thinking I may have implanted late and this is what is causing the low hcg and bleeding?
Thanks in advance X
