Hi everyone,

Haven't had any more spotting so hopefully all is OK.

Starrysky - that must be driving you insane. Fingers crossed that you get a BFP soon.

kaib - what a truly awful experience you had with the locum. It doesn't matter how early you lose a pregnancy it's still a loss. I personally don't like the term chemical pregnancy as it makes it sound like your loss should somehow be less than if you were another week along. I would suggest though that you try to only test on the day your AF is due. Less disappointment that way. You may find that doctors will only investigate after 3 confirmed losses for instance when you have tested positive 3 times by blood test before they will investigate.... not sure on that though. A lot of doctors don't consider you pregnant just because you got a positive HPT. The whole testing process is not an easy one to go through either - and it can really do your head in and can also be very expensive so if your GP doesn't think it's worth doing yet don't stress too much about that yet. Good luck.
