confused newbie!!

Hi all, im new on here, trying to get to grips with all of the abriviations! My partner and i had a miscarriage of 10 weeks back in feb, ok now and had a period on 24th april, fairly light, was expecting worse! Well for the past 5 days i have been feeling sick and tired, i had a blood test done and my level came back as 4, i know it says under 5 is negative but could it have picked up an early level of hcg? any advice would be great. Also just done an ovulation test which came back positive...

Hi babydust, didn't want to RnR (Read and Run) but just wanted to say sorry for your loss and I'm happy for you that you found the strength to come to terms with it.

Welcome to the site, I'm really new myself and all of the girls here are so welcoming and supportive so make yourself comfy lol!

To help with the abbreviations, which can be slightly confusing I recommend this site:

It's saved me many an awkward moment and I hope it helps!

With regards to your period, I know it's still possible to conceive and have a light period or spotting and at 5dpo it may well be too early to pick up the required level of hcg using a hpt (home preg'y test). I'm not sure about the levels and timings required for blood test results/analysis, sorry. I would suggest you wait until you're 9dpo / 10dpo (may aswell be a year, I know lol) and re-test then.

Best of luck and let me know how you get on!
