My blood results showed less than 5 (or 10) HCG, so they were able to confirm the chemical pregnancy, and said the numbers were going down at the right pace. </p> <p>3) My loss felt like a period (after the first two days). The first two days were heavy &amp; painful, then I felt like I just had my period ... My next cycle arrived on time as well (according to the date I started bleeding). </p> <p>Thinking of you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136299 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:09:42 +0000 allison 1136299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a faint positive a week after my period was due. Two days later, I tested negative. The next day, I think, I started bleeding and cramping. From what I remember, it was heavier but shorter than my usual period.</p> <p>I didn't go to the doctor, but I did go in a month later for an annual visit. I told the doc about the CP then.</p> <p>I had pregnancy symptoms before I started bleeding (sore boobs, fatigue), but felt pretty much normal afterward. Maybe a bit more emotional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136288 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:07:10 +0000 calsmom 1136288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miscarried the day I went to the OB. The line disappeared that day. I didn't go back to the dr after. AF lasted 8 days vs the usual 6. I'm so sorry you're going through this :(. Hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136265 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:01:31 +0000 MamaMoose 1136265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! I went in to the doctor when I started bleeding and they did a beta which was at 13. They had me come back two weeks later to make sure my beta was at 0 and that there was no need for a D&amp;C. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136252 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:58:41 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1136252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blah, ttc just sucks for some of us, huh?</p> <p>1) did you go get checked out by the doctor?<br /> I called my OB when I got the BFP and went in that day (Tuesday, 15dpo). HPT there was negative, but took when I got home that was still positive. Blood test was 13. I tested again on Thursday, negative, Started bleeding. Beta was confirmed as zero on Friday.</p> <p>2) when did line completely disappear from test?<br /> 17dpo</p> <p>3) did you feel like you were having "symptoms" after period? when did you feel completely normal?<br /> I don't remember very well, but I think they tapered off pretty quickly once my flow started. AF was mostly normal, just slightly longer.</p> <p>If you're still getting positives, I'd go in to see a doctor to get checked out. Also, since this is #2 for you, they might be willing to do some further testing if you're up for it. If it goes negative in the next day or two, then I don't see a need to go in unless you want to.</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136224 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:48:01 +0000 LindsayInNY 1136224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) did you go get checked out by the doctor? I had my annual exam on a Wednesday, tested positive the following Sunday, went Thursday for blood work to confirm, started bleeding on Sunday (1 week post-BFP). If my doctor's office hadn't pushed for the blood work, I wouldn't have gone in initially. I probably would've called once I started bleeding to see what to do though?</p> <p>2) when did line completely disappear from test? I tested again one or two times before I went for blood work but didn't test again afterwards. My betas that Thursday were only 48 anyways.</p> <p>3) did you feel like you were having "symptoms" after period? when did you feel completely normal? If I hadn't been charting everything, I probably would've just thought AF was a week late. AF was a bit heavier than usual initially but then lasted about the same length of time as it usually does. I thought everything would be back to normal but I'm on CD23 now and haven't Oed (usually O around 20-21).</p> <p>ETA: I went back the Tuesday after I started bleeding for follow up blood work to check my levels. When my doctor called she simply said we were good to keep TTC but nothing was mentioned about the numbers so I assumed they had gone down? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136116 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:21:40 +0000 brownie 1136116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it after two FET's.<br /> 1) I didn't really get checked but I got a negative test (HCG under 5) both times. </p> <p>2) line was mostly gone on the day of my beta.</p> <p>3) I am currently bleeding from the second one so I don't know. I don't know if I will ever feel "normal". My first period sucked royally but this one doesn't seem to have any real differences from a normal period.</p> <p>First cycle, I had a beta of 12 and then it was under 5 at the next beta 2 days later. The second cycle I got positives starting on day 6 with the FRER lighter on day 10 but the cheapo was darker. Negative beta on day 11 (so under 5). Still got a light line on a cheapo that afternoon about 10 minutes after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136093 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:14:29 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1136093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big hugs!!</p> <p>1) did you go get checked out by the doctor?<br /> I had one, but I cancelled it. I got a positive pregnancy test two days in a row, followed by negatives. My OB sent me for bloodwork &amp; my beta was 2.</p> <p>2) when did line completely disappear from test?<br /> A day after my first positive</p> <p>3) did you feel like you were having "symptoms" after period? when did you feel completely normal?<br /> I didn't have a bleed until almost a week later &amp; other than feeling tired and a bit nauseous I didn't have any other symptoms. They went away before I started to bleed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136076 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:09:39 +0000 MrsKoala 1136076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Just wanted to give you some hugs and :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136036 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:59:35 +0000 Running Elley 1136036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the doctor and had my levels checked. It took about a week and a half for my tests to get negative again. It was first positive at 12 DPO, at 14 DPO my period started (a lot heavier and with worse cramps than normal) and I was still getting faint lines for almost a week :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136031 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:58:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1136031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) did you go get checked out by the doctor? I got my positive and started bleeding heavily 4 days later. My doc sent me for blood work, but it confirmed that I was losing the pregnancy. </p> <p> 2) when did line completely disappear from test? My doc sent me for follow up blood work about a week later to be sure that the hcg was out of my system.</p> <p> 3) did you feel like you were having "symptoms" after period? when did you feel completely normal? I felt totally normal right after my period stopped. I was a little hormonal (read...I was a raging bitch), but my breasts werent' tender anymore. </p> <p>I'm sorry you're going through this. I've been following your history a bit, and it sounds as if it's unfortunately mirroring mine. Hoping your next pregnancy is your take home baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136018 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:56:03 +0000 LovelyPlum 1136018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went. My readings were zero (blood test) after one day of bleeding. Physically, I felt awful for a few days, but I didn't bleed for as long as a period. The hormone crash messed with me though...it took me a while to feel "normal" again. I did ovulate 15 days, later, though, and I think that's when I finally felt like my body was returning to normal.</p> <p>I know you're new to the area, but it might not be a bad idea to go. I'm sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-early-chemical-pregnancy-loss#post-1136014 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:53:15 +0000 mlm2934 1136014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) did you go get checked out by the doctor?<br /> 2) when did line completely disappear from test?<br /> 3) did you feel like you were having "symptoms" after period? when did you feel completely normal?</p> <p>I had VERY faint lines on FRER a few days before period was due, but they immediately started fading, and 4 day period came, just 1 or 2 days late.</p> <p>Just for peace of mind I took dollar general tests this wkd and still reading very very faint positive. Driving me crazy, and I haven't felt great this weekend. It's making it hard to put this behind me! </p>
