Ive not posted on this forum before but Ive spent a lot of time reading other peoples posts. Having had a nasty few days I wanted to share my experience in the hope that it might be of some use to anyone having similar problems.
We had recently got married and knew that trying for a baby was immediately on the agenda. Id always been concerned that conceiving may take some time as my cycles were generally around 40 days long, so when I started to feel sick, have sore boobs and a strange taste in my mouth, I hardly dared to believe I was pregnant. I took a test and much to my surprise, a faint line appeared! I didnt quite believe it and took several more tests, all with the same result. I left it a couple of days expecting the hcg hormone to rise, took another test and had a negative result. I left it another day, and finally took a clearblue digital test. The words Pregnant flashed before my eyes that was it, I was pregnant and over the moon.
That evening, when I wiped having been to the toilet, there was blood on the tissue. My heart sank. I dismissed it as implantation bleeding and tried not to worry about it. The next morning there was little evidence of more bleeding but I felt I needed to put my mind at rest and phoned the GP. He told me to take it easy, slight bleeding was common in the early stages. I spent the day in bed and tried not to worry.
That afternoon the bleeding became worse. It was now proper red blood and did have some signs of clotting. It continued for 3 more days, with the passing of what looked like a sack of tissue about the size of a jelly bean. I visited my GP and have been told to provide a urine sample in 4 days. Theyll test for the pregnancy hormone and take it from there. Ive already done another home test which was negative.
Im pretty certain that what Ive experienced is a chemical pregnancy. The strange faint positive home pregnancy tests along with reasonably heavy bleeding do sound like common symptoms. I take comfort in knowing that we are able to conceive, and achieving fertilization on the first month of trying was pretty impressive. Well keep trying, and just hope for better luck next time.
