Confusion and

Hi,
Possible first time pregnancy and very very confused!

The story thus far:

Overdue period, took home PG test and got a feint positive. Three days later same result at the doctor.

Blood test came back as HcG 13. Re-test ordered, but I started bleeding the next day. No pain, no heavier (or lighter) than a normal period and my boobs stopped hurting, so I just assumed it must have been a late period after all and wasn't even going to get the re-test, but did anyway - three days later - and HcG level was now 30. What?

I have continued to bleed for a few more days in exactly the same pattern as my normal period. Nothing resembling the M/C described online (and my sister has had one).

Now utterly confused as I don't have a midwive yet and also thought the HcG level should have jumped way more in three days if I actually was pregnant?

Stressed at the uncertainty and it's too early for a scan (just under five weeks).

Any advice?

:)

Id ask for more bloods, they should give you an indication either way, I had a miscarriage at just over 5 weeks and was like a normal period, no extra pains or clots, whilst a mc at 7 weeks was heavy, painful and I passed the sac. Each person is different and if it was a mc, it would have been really early, probably classed as a chemical pregnancy?, and would be fairly normal bleed.

Good luck FX

hugs hun it sucks ay :( ive been through the same thing, lost my first pregnancy at around 5 weeks and was exactly how you are describing yours. good news for us was that we conceived our now 10 month old DD the month later so hang in there hun it will happen for you! def get more bloods to make sure the numbers do what they are meant to do, and see your doc so they can keep an eye on you if need be. be kind to yourself, i hope you get your BFP soon! x x
