I found out I was pregnant on 2 Jan. I saw the Doc on 4 Jan and had a blood test to confirm the pregnancy. My HCG level was 138 which is considered low. My last menstrual cycle began 3 Dec. Which put me at 4 weeks and 1 day when the test was done.

I am now at 5 weeks and 5 days, and had another blood test to check HCG level yesterday - I find result out this Thursday. After going for a walk I noticed that I have had a very light pinkish bleed - only a spot of two.

I also no longer have all of symptoms of pregnancy that I had a week ago. I still have fatigue, drinking lots of water, bloated and constipation. But my breasts and lower back no longer hurt and the metallic taste in my mouth has gone.

My doc mentioned the term 'blighted ovum' prior to requesting the second blood test, which has now made me think the worst.

I am 34 and this is my first pregnancy. I am worried and very unhappy. My partner whilst supportive doesn't quite understand how I feel right now. Waiting is the hard part, but if I am having a miscarriage, how soon before you can conceive again?
