New and Confused!

[mnm_220]

Hello,

I'm 29 and I've been lingering around this Website for the past month and found it to be very helpful in TTC. I've learned so much about TTC than I ever thought I could. Just wanted to say HI!

We have only recently began TTC and have had an interesting time so far.

I received a BFP on 12/21 but a couple of days later I was bleeding quite a bit and went to the hospital and did a blood test and say I was negative so I was really confused. I took several tests leading up on 12/21 and they all had a faint line and the test on took on 12/21 was a little bit darker but still faint. I took a test after the hospital and it was negative. What could have happened? Was I ever pregnant?

Last week I had a strange period where it was new and old blood but finally finished 5 days later. When will I go back to normal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would go and see a GP and just make sure it wasn't a MC - as you may need an examination - I wouldn't rely on what a hospital doctor tells you.

Best of luck on your road to TTC - everyone here is full of helpful ideas and advice

Thank you!

I have an appointment for a physical on Monday. I was confused because why would I get multiple faint positive lines on an HPT and he tell me I'm not pregnant or was never pregnant. The nurse told me if it was a miscarriage I would have a really bad period in which is was bad compared to any other time with a mix of old and new blood (sorry TMI).

sometimes it's all confusing to me too! the lines look kinda dark then no line, I guess the best way is to go to the doctor,it can drive you

Hiya. Welcome to baby and bump!
It sounds to me that you may have had a m/c.
I had a friend once who got a bfp then started bleeding a few days later.
she want to the docs who did another pg test only to find out that it was a bfn!. Doc said that it probably was a m/c that she had . I dont mean to scare you by saying this but it does sound like a m/c. If i was you i would make another appointment with the doc to get checked over. Good luck hun!

Thank you PINKDIAMOND, I'm actually handling this whole experience pretty well I am more confused about it than anything. I want everything to go back to normal and hoping that we can keep trying.

If this was a m/c how soon can we try again?

 

[PINKDIAMOND]

I think its really up to when you feel emotionally ready to try again. Some doctors may tell you to wait a few months.

talk about everything with you GP. They should be able to help explain things (if they are good anyway). Unfortunately, it does sound like an early m/c since you had a bfp and then didn't anymore with bleeding. I have read that it happens to 25% of women, and that is why sensitive tests are a blessing and a curse as a lot of women have m/c and not even know it. Whatever happens, I wish you nothing but the best

Welcome! I hope your doctor's app goes well and he gives you answers. I agree, it does sound like you had a m/c especially if you hpt's came back + before you started bleeding. I hope you can start ttc again so you can get a bfp that sticks!

Welcome, if you need anything let me know. Good luck TTC

I agree with PPs, I think you had a m/c (depending on how far along you would have been it could have also been a chemical pg). As for starting to try again, because you didn't need a d&c, I think (I'm not a doctor, so this is not medical advice, just what I've picked up on) that you can start trying again as soon as you are emotionally ready. I would still go see your doctor anyway.

Sorry to hear about this. I hope you get your sticky bean soon!

I was due for AF on 12/20 and tested on 12/21 and received a BFP and started bleeding a lot (more than regular AF) on 12/23 and it lasted about 5 days.

I'm ready to try again. I was so confused throughout that week I believe I conviced myself that I never was. I'm ready and hoping my body is ready.

Also this Thursday is when would have normally ovulated and I felt the cramping and had the CM so I think I was ovulating. So maybe my body is normal. I'll find out on Monday what the doctor has to say.

Thanks for all your replies!
