Sanmama,
Yaya, everytime i felt some wetness down there, I'd rush to the toilet and crossed my fingers not to see something i shouldnt be seeing...very stressful. Are you going to see the doctor tomorrow?
I am scared again this morning. It's my day 34, I still tend to use David preg tester to test morning urine ... more for fun now. But it horrifies me that the tester is showing no positive signal..... I tried twice this morning - same case. And even yesterday, while there was the fade pink line, but it's even paler than 2 or 3 days ago.
Shouldn't the HCG be increasing everyday so that the line should become more and more apparent? I also used the last preg tester from my doctor this morning .... and nothing is shown.
Could my case be false positive? But then my period has never been so late. Any of you have experience to share? I am so worried now.
Dear Sanmama,
If you use a pregnancy stick, it should be much darker than before. Don't use an ovulation stick to test, it doesn't work for everyone. Theoretically the hcg should double every 36-48hours, and it's a problem is it doesn't. Hey I suggest you seeing your doctor ASAP and run a blood test. You can also walk in for a blood test (if that's available in HK). Let me know what your hcg is.
Also, try not to be afraid because stress can only worsen the situation. DO you still feel symptoms, eg. breast tenderness?
I went to the gynaecologist this morning. Actually he could do nothing. Tried ultrasound but too early to detect the embryo. However, he explained that it could be "chemcial pregnancy"
If you are interested, you can go to Q10 of the following link:

Of which if it is really the case, the doctor said the blood test will not help either. It will most probably come up with positive pregnancy result reflecting I was really pregnant ... but then it was a chemical preg (ie very early miscarriage).
But my only hope was: my period is still not here. There is still a chance.
My own gynae doctor is not in town over this long weekend ... I will have to bear with it these few days and see what recommendation he can further give me next week.
Sanmama,
Remember I told you I had a miscarriage 2 cycles ago? It was a chemical pregnancy. I think it meant the fertilised egg didnt implant properly. It happens 1 in 3 prehnancies thus has nothing to do with you. I remember i was tested faintly + at home and got a hcg count of 25 (indicating I was barely pregnant). The doc said I had to run another test 3 days later to see if the hcg goes up. Unfortunately, my m came the day before the test. If I hadn't tested at home, I wouldn't have known that I was briefly pregnant and would have just thought that my m came 2 weeks late.
The sticks are very accurate. If you don't get a positive tomorrow morning, your hcg has probably dropped to the undetectable level (<25) and you should get your m in a couple days.
I understand how devastating this experience is and I still couldn't get it over with. But let the time does his bits and try again soon. You shouldn't have to wait to try again. Please, be strong. Your bb is waiting for you soon as you are ready to try again.
Thanks for your kind words and sharing of your past situation. Indeed my period came last night so no more false hope. I was very nervous last night but when m came ... it's sort of a relief, no more second guessing .... of course I am very unhappy ... but it's much better than not growing towards later in 1st trimester and I had to go through all the D&C.
I am sorry for I cannot join you guys anymore in this journey but hope everything will go right!!
May I know whether you went to the doctor after you realised you had chemical preg? Did you have to go to doctor to check whether the uterus is clean for next preg? Is there any reason for having chem preg?
Sanmama,
I did goto the Emergency because I was having a bad bad cramp and I felt waves of dizziness. My hubby took me to the ED to make sure I did not have an ectopic pregnancy. Well, if you don't feel unbearable pain I suppose you don't have to see a doctor. Bear in mind that if you didn't check the pregnancy test, you would have just thought your m came 1 week late, right?
Chemical pregnancy happens 1 in 3 pregnancies. It was said to have no specific reason. Don't be put off, women are said to be more infertile 3 cycles following a miscarriage. I'm not sure how true that is. Bottom line is, don't give up and we'll see you here again real soon!!!
