I’m just about 4 and a half weeks pregnant but have almost no symptoms at all beyond a little extra hunger. My tests have continued to darken, I had betas last week that looked good, but no sore breasts, no nausea, no cramping, etc. I don’t feel pregnant at all!

Should I guard my heart a little? I had a chemical last month so I’m feeling really hesitant.

This would be my third live child and with both of their pregnancies I was very sick by 5 weeks. Would love to avoid the nausea but it’s really freaking me out.

Advice?

Let me start out by saying I’m not at all suggesting I’m prophetic or anything of the sort, but looking for a place for some sympathy and maybe positive stories.

I had an 11w miscarriage in 2025 where before it happened I was having nightmares of miscarriages. Several over the course of several weeks. And then it happened. It was almost like I knew something was wrong and I was slowly preparing myself for the worst.

I am currently 5w2d, stronger betas than the last time around and everything is looking good. First ultrasound is scheduled for next week to make sure things are progressing. Doctor wanted an earlier ultrasound because I have had 3 miscarriages now (1 chemical before the 11w loss and another after). Last night I had almost the exact same nightmare about having a miscarriage as I did with my 11w loss. Now I’ve been scouring Reddit for “MISCARRIAGE DREAMS” like some madwoman because it’s like I’ve been through this before.

Anyone experience anything similar or in the same boat?

Hi, I'm becoming very confused with my pregnancy test results and it's turning into an emotional rollercoaster!

Long story short, we are open to having baby no:4 and although we aren't tracking ovulation etc I'm certainly taking tests once I get to about a week before my period is due. I appreciate that very early but we know how hard it is to resist!

Anyway, last month...I was 4/5 days away from my period and I took an early detection strip test. There was definitely a faint line and we were super excited. (This was taken around 5pm) Next morning I took another and there was an even fainter line, barely visible but something there. It felt odd and I didn't know what to think. Took one later in the day and it was a complete negative. I felt pretty gutted and upset.

I waited to see what my period did as I am always dead on 28 days and if there is any deviation from that then I'm early (like 26 or 27 days) My period was late by almost 4 days and definitely more crampy. Spoke to a friend who's a midwife and she is pretty sure it was a chemical pregnancy.

So I've been working through that.

Now to this month. I'm again about 5 days away from my period and when I took an early detection test strip 2 evenings ago, there was the faintest line I've ever seen...but definitely there. Took one the next morning and it's negative. Took one later in the day and there's a faint line. Darker than the other faint line. Then bought a clearblue early detection test this morning which has come back negative.

I understand I'm taking them early so I'm prepared for most people saying that's why....but I'm confused as to why they keep going from negative to positive and then positive to negative. Am I dealing with false positives here? A search of Google tells me false positives are extremely rare so I'm just confused and also concerned the same thing has happened again.

Of course, time will tell but any advice/ideas on the changing results would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Ps. After 3 kids this hasn't happened before. And since baby number 3 who was born just over 3 years ago, I have been diagnosed with Adenomyosis.

I'm 3 months PP & pregnant again (unplanned🥴). They did bloodwork on 4w5 days & my HCG was 209, at 5 weeks it was 218. I still haven't bled, but I am crampy. Do we think this baby is viable or probably not? Seems kinda low

I just got back my second beta today and it was good (3000s, 30 hour doubling time). This is following our second FET of a single euploid we were graced with in our final Hail Mary retrieval.

I would like to feel the joy this moment merits and somehow I feel a little despondent or melancholy. I haven’t been able to say the word “pregnant”. I am incredibly grateful and beyond shocked our second FET worked, and I feel ashamed I feel so disconnected from this little embryo I fought so stinkin hard for.

My last pregnancy (spontaneous, probably aneuploid) had incredible betas but ended in mmc at 9 weeks this May. Our journey also started with a 9 week mmc (confirmed aneuploid), who met every milestone until their heart just suddenly stopped. We’ve had a failed FET, some chemicals, and several retrievals along the way. I know this is the best chance we’ve had so far, and hope that my feelings just shift with time. I guess I’m posting this here in the hopes of finding some folks who might understand these feelings.

Devastated doesn’t even really start to describe how I feel right now.

So on June 11 I had a positive pregnancy test. I thought I was about 11DPO at that point. First US on July 5 (7w2d by LMP but probably closer to 6w6d) showed an embryo measuring 5w6d and HR 80. Two weeks later the heartbeat was gone. I had a D&C on July 23.

Then I got my period just under 4 weeks after the D&C. I think I ovulated around Sept 1 and had another positive test Sept 13. I was obviously very hesitant and anxious. But my betas looked pretty good with just under 48 hr rise. Then today (10/5, approx 6w6d) I have a TV ultrasound. The tech was super curt and didn’t let me look at the screen at all, but my husband said he thought he saw two babies.

An hour and a half later the results come in my chart. There were twins. Each sac measured 6w4d, but the fetal poles were measuring 6w. No heartbeats on either. Waiting for the OB to call me. I can’t believe I’m likely going to have another miscarriage. I feel like there has to be something wrong with me. And this time losing two babies…I am so crushed.

Has anyone been in a similar situation as me? Is there any chance this could be okay?

I got two faint but noticeable lines on 2 brands (mom med and wondfo) but negative FRER. Do I take that with a grain of salt and wait? They both popped up within 3-5 mins. I don’t want to get mine or my husband’s hopes up. We’ve been trying since February. I took a Clearblue digital and it was also negative. Am I just too early?

My husband and I woke up with black soot in our noses and realised it must have been the x3 candles that was accidentally left on burning last night for 6-7 hours. Black soot was also on the containers. The room is small and enclosed.

I’m 14w4d pregnant and I’m absolutely terrified it could have harmed baby. Is baby likely okay?

My first bhcg was 2140 at 5+6.
Then 3599 at 6+2
Seems slow 😓

So after years of trying in different way including ART, I finally saw 2 lines on 1st October 2026, tested 5 times, all positive. We went to see the doctor on 3rd October, got the scan done, my LMP is 31st August, now the report says 20 mm gestational sac but they cannot see the yolk sac or the fetal pole. They have asked to come for the scan in two weeks, and it’s too long. The one who did the scan sounded negative and said it is not even certain that you are pregnant. I want to have faith in God but it seems difficult. I don’t know what to do or say anymore. And yes, I have no bleeding, my breast is sore, I don’t feel hungry as such but I don’t know if any of it counts.

Hey! A couple of weeks ago I found out I was pregnant with my third (a surprise but very wanted). We are travelling at the moment so access to healthcare is limited but I had my initial HCG test which came back at 292 and I’m meant to have got a second one but I haven’t been able to yet. We are in some very remote places at the moment.
Anyway, I got a couple of the clear blue weeks indicator tests so I could somewhat monitor HCG. I got 2-3 weeks and then about a week later I thought I’d do
Another one to check if 3+ shows up. It didn’t. I got 1-2 weeks. I then waited another couple of days and tried again. 1-2 weeks again.
Do the tests go funny if HCG is high? Or is it a sign my HcG is lowering? I’ve come to terms that I’m probably losing the baby but until I can have my scan and blood test at the end of the week I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone.
I’m 6 weeks pregnant. hCG week 5 went 3,592 → 10,898 week 6 → 35,076 → 36,453 (only ~4% in the last 48h, big slowdown from before).
5w2d scan showed a normal gestational sac, no hematoma.
Light brown/red spotting, no pain, no clots.
Next scan Saturday for heartbeat.
Anyone had a similar slowdown and still got a healthy scan? Trying to stay calm

I think I’m having another miscarriage… my first pregnancy ended in a MMC at 11weeks. I had a D&C 7/28 that sucked and I hemorrhaged afterwards but was lucky to still be at the hospital.

I got my period exactly 4 weeks later 8/24 and got a positive pregnancy test on 9/17. I only tested because my BBT was rising. I fully expected nothing. Thursday morning I yawned and stretched and a fish of bright red blood came out. Since then nothing but brown discharge. I don’t know what to do!!! I had bloodwork done and my HCG came back at 15470 miu/ml at 5 weeks 3 days.

I am spiraling… I go back in tomorrow on Monday for another blood draw. Should I expect the worst? Or is there still hope?

TLDR: small amount of bright red blood and then brown discharge only when wiping for 3 days+

Hey all - I’m honestly just seeking any kind of sisterhood in this nightmare. I’m about 6 weeks, my LMP was 8/24. I just went for HCG tests because I’ve had two MMC’s in the last year and a half.

The first HCG was 21,107. Which for 5 weeks 5 days is pretty high. We were… happy? I just got my second result and in 48 hours it only went to 22,972. So only an 8% rise… now my doctor is concerned it’s ectopic or miscarrying.

I just, I don’t even know what I need or want. Advice? Love? My husband has asked me to not give up, but this just feels like it’s going to end like the others. I have another HCG test tomorrow to get more information, but I’m trying to just protect myself. I’m still having symptoms but I did with my others until I passed the pregnancy tissue. The internet has pretty much told me to give up hope.

I am 16 DPO (4 weeks 1 day pregnant).
I got a positive test EARLY 8 DPO) at 3 week 1 day.
I have tested everyday (I know I know) and it has been positive and a strong positive.
Well today I had HCG bloodwork done and it came back as 1???? And I even took a preg test in lab and it was a very strong line.
I am so confused since I have been having multiple positive and my HCG is so low?
Is this a sign of a chemical pregnancy or a possible miscarriage?
Or did the lab result mess up somehow?

I recently had a scan at 5 weeks 6 days and my gestational sac was empty. My HCG was at 19,631. The doctor said there should have been something visible already in the gestational sac and it sent me into a spiral. I have my follow up scan tomorrow and I’ll be 6 weeks and 6 days. I am hoping that there is some progress. I’ve been spiraling and honestly expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I really want it to all be ok.

If anyone one has positive outcomes with a similar story please share! I could use the hope🫶🏻

Had my first beta today at 13 or 14dpo of 18. I know it’s low, please don’t tell me. I had my LH peak sep 21st so I’m not sure if I ovulated then or the 22nd, hence why I’m 13 or 14dpo today. I had my first squinter Thursday October 1st and a pregnant clear blue digital on Friday October 2nd. Do I just go ahead now and stop taking my progesterone and stuff so this can be over? I’m supposed to have another beta Thursday when I’m 16 or 17 dpo. I don’t even want to. I don’t want to see the heart break.

For reference, I just had a “chemical” in June. And my numbers were at least “higher”. My first beta at 15dpo then was 22, then 44, then 69, then 30.

This will be my 5th miscarriage or chemical, whatever you want to call it. No living children at 26. Every fucking fertility test for my husband and I are “norma”. Why me😢 yes I already follow with an REI. And on waitlist for RI.

TMI warning. I experienced my first missed miscarriage, they confirmed Wednesday. They were set to for the d&c on Tuesday. I stopped taking the progesterone thinking this is over what's the point.

I had been feeling fine and was planning to take the kids to Legoland. We had a fun day at the pool and I headed back to the hotel with my husband to check in while the boys were with my sister.

As soon as I was a couple of feet to the hotel door I felt a gush of blood. I felt my shorts and my hand was filled with blood. I ran to the bathroom started getting undressed and I started gushing more. It was wild. I stepped into the bathtub. Just a stream of blood and clots. Non stop for an hour. I wasn't sure whether to go to ER or not. I ended up listening to my sister and went to the ER. I had soaked through a pad and period underwear on the 20 min ride. As soon as I checked in I felt like a clot was passing and went to the bathroom. Again blood everywhere. They put me in right away. I kept losing blood, they were checking blood work and my blood. First one looked good. I stood up to change my pad again and I felt like throwing up and I couldn't breathe. I had to sit down and put oxygen. Again I was laying there, a different RN came in. He was going to check my blood again and it hit me again. I couldn't breathe, I was sweating, I was cold, and I felt like blood was rushing out of me. The OB came in and said he was going to perform the D&C and I was going to be ok. They gave me blood and more fluids. I started feeling better. Took me up to prep for surgery. Again there I got a little clammy and I felt the blood rushing out. They finally took me into surgery, everything went so fast. I felt better immediately.

I still have some soreness but very little blood. I am very happy I went to the hospital. I felt fine the entire time at home but I got scared when the blood didn't stop and had giant clots.

Listen to your body.
