I am extremely anxious that I'm facing a Chemical pregnancy. I had a 3 day embryo transfer of a good quality 8-cell embryo and a 4 - cell embryo. Test day was Monday however we did a first response test Sunday evening which was a faint positive. The test day Monday (0315 as couldnt hold pee!) Was negative. The clinic said to do a clear blue the next day so Tuesday morning digital test said pregnant!. The clinic said to do another of their test Thursday which came up faint positive and another clear blue on Friday also very faint!!! Bloods taken on Wednesday showed HCG was only 28!!! I was 16dp3dt! I had further blood test on Friday and have to waiti until Monday for the results! I would have been 5 weeks pregnant on Friday and breast tenderness has disappeared and i dont feel pregnant. Ive had no bleeding or spotting or discharge either!
Has anyone else been in this situation and what was the outcome? If chemical pregnancy did you bleed before coming off the progesterone pessaries? The picture is the Thursday test (3 days after original tedt day so about 4 weeks 6 days pregnant!)

I cant offer advice but only how much i feel for what your going through. Just couldnt read this without offering some kind words. Im sure someone on here has had similar. Cyber hug x
Hey, I’ve had 2 chemical pregnancies. The first time I stated to bleed while on pessaries and the second time I didn’t bleed until I stopped pessaries.
I hope your blood results will have increased and this won’t be a chemical.
Thankyou for your replies x So hard as although first IVF successful despite only a 7.1 lining and 3 day transfer of 2 poor quality 8-cell embryos- our little boy has just turned 2 years. In October I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks gestation which we were devastated! This cycle was paid for by my parents out of wedding fund they'd saved for us so was our last attempt at a sibling for our boy 😢
Oh this must be hellish! I'm so sorry you have this uncertainty hanging over you all weekend. I think unfortunately until you have your blood results then you won't get any definitive answers!! Is your clinic defo not open on a sat for a few hours that you could chance calling for results? Sending hugsxx
Just wanted to say really feel for you being in limbo like this, must be hellish....no advice I'm afraid as not been in in that position. Good luck though xxx
Hooray it doubled from 28 on Wednesday to 62 on Friday (5+0 weeks) so it is still low so am still anxious this will end in another miscarriage- trying to be positive but trying not to get hopes up! Scan booked at 7+0 (2nd March!)
Managed to get a 3rd HCG blood test on Wednesday (5+5 weeks) and in view of the levels doubling every 48 hours i expected the result to be 250-500....my levels were 646 so they are doubling and a bit more 😀 feeling relieved a little now! Just hope the scan next week (7 weeks) will show that little heartbeating!
7 week +0 scan Empty scac no yolk sac or fetal pole plus they think they saw ectopic too. Told to come of progesterone and come for rescan last Monday. I didnt come off progesterone as i was in shock and hoped it all be wrong! Monday at the Nuffield clinic still empty sac and still sure there was ectopic so rushed over to local hospital where they confirmed possible Blighted Ovum but advised to rescan that today (My FS was a little cross as thinks no chance due to dates being exact and I'm cross we've been given false hope!) So last Monday i was rushed into theatre for a Laparoscopy to thankfully find the query ectopic was a cyst! So now today to go back to local hospital to rescan and discuss miscarriage options 😢 i think I'll opt for ERPC again as nearly had 2 weeks off Childminding and cant afford unpaid leave and hate letting the families down! Dont want the uncertainty of waiting weeks for miscarriage to happen or the pain when it does whilst trying to look after my 2 year old or in middle of caring for the other children!
Well so much for Choice- i chose surgical management of miscarriage on Tuesday but they cant fit me in until Monday!!! Feeling so crampy now and have a feeling its going to come naturally over weekend (I'm meamt to be on an important course on Sunday!) - i now have to take next week off Childminding (3rd week!) And if it does happen naturally but not fully the ERPC will be rescheduled anyway! My local hospital have poorly managed this in my opinion 😢
I'm so sorry to hear that Michelle. I have experienced similar and was so scared at the thought of a miscarriage happening during work. hoping it holds off for you until your surgery xx
