Early and repeated testing - could be sensitive

[Buisquits]

Hi all. There is a long story behind me, loads of support on that forum, so greatful forevery warm word.

Just wanted to share my experience, as I keep seeing posts about people testing early or testing continuously for reassurance. I hope it will not upset anybody.

I am 8 +5 weeks pregnant. I mean, my body things it is pregnant, because I know, for almost 4 weeks now, that I am not pregnant. The tests still show clear line, however at 6 weeks scan we were told its an empty sack. No embrio. My hormon levels have just started calming down slowly. We are just waiting for it all to clear out naturally.

The testing is misleading. It means nothing until you see the scan.

Wishing all the best to everybody.

With love.

Hey I’m sorry to hear about your experience! I no what you mean even though I’ve done about 5 tests and they are positive I won’t truly believe I am until the scan and not getting my hopes up... just wondering did you have a blood test to measure your hcg levels before scan?

Hi Buisquits, so sorry to hear of your news, it is something that I have read a lot of recently.

As per the other comment did you have your bloods done? Did you still have all symptoms?

I can’t imagine what this must be like but I hope that you can come through the other side stronger and find the day when you can smile again.

Do look after yourself. Sending virtual 🤗 x

I'll try to answer your questions.

I had blood taken on wk6. Then 48 hours later, then wk7 and 48 hours later. I was told the results but all I remember was the nurse saying the levels are very high so they still looking for ectopic pregnancy. I realy was not interested as we knew there is no embryo.

I had clear symptoms up to wk8, then weaker ones for few more days. It is better now. I'm just tired, but it might be just the stress of it all.

The worst part is to have symptoms but knowing there is nothing there... Feels like a torture.

Thank you for all kind words. It is sad but with pregnancy you can never be sure of anything 😢

Wishing you all the best

I’m so sorry to hear that. My missed miscarriage was confirmed at 9 weeks on 22nd August and I miscarried naturally at home on 7th September. So that’s 2 weeks later. I send you a big hug and if you want to talk you can message me 💕
