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.

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.

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.

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.

@runnerd: Just wanted to give you some hugs and

I had it after two FET's.
1) I didn't really get checked but I got a negative test (HCG under 5) both times.

2) line was mostly gone on the day of my beta.

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.

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.

Blah, ttc just sucks for some of us, huh?

1) did you go get checked out by the doctor?
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.

2) when did line completely disappear from test?
17dpo

3) did you feel like you were having "symptoms" after period? when did you feel completely normal?
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.

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.

Hope you feel better soon!

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.

@runnerd:

1) I was checked 5 days after our loss.

2) The day I had my blood drawn, I took a HTP and got a negative for the first time ... 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.

3) My loss felt like a period (after the first two days). The first two days were heavy & 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).

Thinking of you!!
