HELP PLEASE!! Positive urine tests, negative bloods???

[Isadora]

Dont know about you but for me waiting another 4 weeks would be a nightmare. Maybe give it another week and do another urine test/see if your period arrives?? I've just been through this myself and the waiting to know one way or another is horrible

hi ciara,

i had a similar thing happen to me with the hcg levels dropping.

At 4 weeks and 4 days (Tuesday this week) I woke up and had no symptoms like the day previous, i just knew something was up so i did a pee test and it was there but feint. I freaked and thought it should have been a darker line so i waited until later in the day and peed again and it was even more feint, like nearly a BFN but not quite. That was Tuesday and now its been 24 hrs and i just began to bleed now. I knew yesterday in my heart that it was gone even though i had a blood result of >42 hcg on monday.

Since your symptoms are still strong and you still have a BFP, you must still be producing high levels of hcg, im totally baffled.

Perhaps go and see another doctor tomorrow.

My doctor sent me to an ultrasound today to see if there was a gestational sac but i didnt go, i know mine is gone.

I think its the only way you will be able to know whats going on is if you have an ultrasound and see if theres a sac. They apparently can tell whether the pregnancy is viable at 4 weeks but you cant see much else. Just the tiny circle of the sac and whether its growing something.

Good luck hun, I will keep you in my prayers and im here to chat anytime. xox

Hey Hun,

I can totally relate to your situation in fact I have posted the a thread with the same name more than once. Sadly my pregancies turned out to be what the dr's call chemical pregnancy. It's where the egg fertilises but doesn't implant properly so you are technically pregnant with all the signs and symptoms ( i found this was the worst) but its not viable. I had this happen 9 times before I was blessed with this pregnancy.

With all my chemical pregnancies I would make it to roughly 5 weeks then miscarry. I would always have multiple positive urine pregnancy tests, always light but definately there. Even the dr's urine tests came back positive. but blood tests were always at 2 or 3.

I have heard of this happening to many women and they go on to have beautiful healthy babies. So don't give up hope. But I hope you don't mind me sharing my story with you.

I will be praying for you and bubs

This can happen Cara as there will still be HCG in the urine after there is not HCG (or very little) in the blood.

It is just a little confusing that the urine result was positive at the doctors... Usually they are not.

I hope you get some answers.

I had a similar thing happen but unfotunately for me it turned out to eb a chemical pregnancy. I even had a postive hpt at the Dr but my bt came back -tive. Big for you as i understand how frustrating it is not knowing for sure what's happening. I sincerly hope that your little sticks x

I've just come through an ectopic and so I can sympathise with the feeling of not knowing whats going on but still clutching at the straws that it might be healthy.
My advice is to not try to solve the mystery in your head cos if you come to the wrong conclusion, you'll be crushed all over again.
But I cannot believe that your doc said to wait 4 weeks! especially since you're at higher risk of another ectopic. I think you need to find a doc that will order you a serial b-hCG every second day so you can see what the levels are doing.
There's no point getting an ultrasound when the levels are low, they wont see anything. (I had to wait another week before they saw mine on ultrasound)
It is certainly very strange that you got positive HPTs on either side of such a low blood test, but urine levels will not always reflect blood levels (there's a kidney in between there)

I really hope that it is a sticky bub, or at worst a chemical preg. praying it is not an ectopic.

Hi guys,

thanks so much for all the replies. so i guess i need to come to terms with the fact that it's probably a chemical pregnancy. as much as i don't want to believe it though

I haven't started to bleed yet, and i'm still sick with ms. still lots of pregnancy symptoms. but i feel as though i've lost this battle. I don't think i'll go and get another blood test done because i don't think i can bear to hear bad results again.

My DP and I agreed that we'll just wait it out and if i start to bleed it will confirm a m/c. I'll keep you posted to let you know what the outcome is.. but i think we all know deep down what has happened.

Thanks so much for the support!

All my blessings to each and every one of you
