MC but still feeling pregnant with BNP, confused

[SugarFairy]

I posted this on the TTC forum but haven't had any response. I think perhaps it belongs better here though but I didn't realise this forum existed til now so apologies to anyone who's seen this twice

AF arrived on August 21st and appeared normal. Two days after it finished - CD 9 - I started bleeding very lightly again.
Now I have no idea why but something in my brain told me to test and it was BFP - faint but definitely there. I thought I may have had an early failed pregnancy and that perhaps this was just the last bit of HCG left in my body. Took another test the day after which was still BFP but faint, and another the day after where there was such a faint line it could just have been my eyes playing tricks on me - all FMU. I spoke to a Dr who agreed it sounded like I had miscarried early and put me at around 6 weeks. This was only 4 days ago.
I'm still bleeding lightly - mostly its brown and watery (sorry tmi) but it is occasionally a fresh red colour. My need to pee has increased since I spoke to the Dr, as has my heartburn (my Mum suffered heartburn from conception to birth in all 7 of her pregnancies), I'm bloated and I've nearly fallen asleep on the train home from work a couple of times this last week.
So this morning I took a test and it is still BFP, only now its clearer than it was 4 days ago. Its not an in-your-face line but it is most definitely there and stronger than it was at the beginning of the week.

I'm so confused. I had completely accepted whats happened and was waiting for a BFN so we could start trying again. How long am I likely to get BFPs for? Are my symptoms normal for an early MC? And why am I now getting more symptoms than before I had the MC confirmed?

I want to get back to TTC again as soon as possible but don't really know what to expect as the Dr didn't really tell me anything

Sorry you are going through this but I think you need to ask your doctor to do blood work or ultrasound to see what is going on.

You really have not had your m/c confirmed.

Best of luck to you!!!

You really need to get your HGC levels measured to see if they are increasing or have a scan. You can bleed and still be pregnant so there is still hope.

dont want to sound like a parrot but you def need to have hcg bloods done and a scan! Good luck xx

Thanks guys
I'm working 3 days next week then got 10 days off where I can go to as many appointments as needed. I just need to know one way or the other so I can start thinking about other things again. This is on my mind constantly

 

[moonmama]

I did think that Ann and it is still in the back of my mind. At the moment I'm playing it day by day. I'll be able to get an appointment with (hopefully a different) Doctor on Thursday so I can talk to them about it too.
My spotting/light bleeding stopped last night. Hopefully for good. But I was in such a rush to pee this morning that I forgot to test....... Dumbass. Now I'll have to wait til tomorrow.

Thanks Bingles

Got my BFN this morning. While I'm sad I'm also now hopeful for the future - I knew deep down that this was going to be the final result of this pregnancy. Think I'm going to have a few drinks with DH to say goodbye tonight and tomorrow we can start looking forward again.

Thanks guys for your support over the last few days
Sending lots of hugs and for everyone xx
