Hi everyone,
Apologies in advance for typos am trembling like mad!
So, came off pill to TTC on May 5th. Period June 26th and July 25th. Did a hpt on July 22nd it was negative. July period just ended yesterday. Oddly though have been clumsy, lots of typos on computer and my boobs didn't go back down to normal after pre-menstrual swelling. So I took a test today and it's positive! How is this possible? I am freaking out! I have had the odd glass of wine, had a tetanus jab, even had dental x rays this morning!!!! (Have googled and it seems the jab and x ray won't harm baby but still, this was not how I planned it!)
So, I realise I need to do some more tests to be sure. Will do a digi later on but at the risk of sounding crazy and repeating myself, how is this possible?!!!
OMG OMG OMG

Oh and of course I test on the rare occasion that DH isn't talking to me as we had a tiff this morning lol!!!

All advice very, very welcome!:)

Not this time for me :( HCG levels had halved today so that means a miscarriage/ chemical pregnancy. Staying positive that we will get to meet the next one! Thanks for your replies x

Try not to worry too much. I was told early on that I was going to have a miscarriage; they couldn't see anything in the scans (of which there were several), then eventually the doctor saw a sac with nothing in it. I was told it was a blighted ovum and that I was going to have a miscarriage. My 'miscarriage' is currently sitting on my sister's knee playing with a rattle smiling at me!! Try to hang on a couple of weeks, a lot can change in a short space of time when you are pregnant. If you are only a couple of weeks pregnant there is nothing to see in a scan! Your HCG sounds good to me. It is higher than mine was initially. Thinking of you and hoping you get the result you want xx

Just thought I would give you an update after seeing the ob/gyn today. They couldn't see a gestational sac or anything at all on either vaginal or abdominal ultrasound, dr assumes miscarriage and that the only reason I tested positive was remnants of pregnancy. Took blood to be sure. Came home feeling so upset, took to google and found lots of posts of people not seeing anything on scans til about 6-7 weeks and so started feeling positive again! Got the results from blood as positive with hcg level of 227 which according to a chart I found puts me at about 4 weeks. Now have to wait until Saturday for next blood test which will be the real truth teller....if levels are higher we are looking good, if not it's a miscarriage. Can't believe how emotional this is so early on!!
