hi jackie, I think we cyber spoke (!) after this happened to me. remember that all cases are different. but I hada faint line and I bled slightly. I took tests for the next 4 days and they got a stronger line but I started to bleed more. If it had been just spotting it wouldnt of concerned me as i had fallen pg before and bled slightly and everything was fine (untill much later on....nothing to do with light bleed). But my clinic said they had known people to bleed alot more than me and stil be pg so I still had to be scanned. It turned out to be an early m/c. I know this sounds negative, and im sorry BUT IT MAY NOT BE FOR YOU! if you carry on taking tests they will say positive as your hcg levels stay with you even if you do m/c. The best thing you can do is talk to your clinic as 2 blood tests on different days will tell you if your hcg is going up. if it is then that will be fantastic news! your level should double every 2 days or something. They wont be able to scan you until 2 weeks after you test, as your little embie wont show up before then. Im sorry that this has been negative feedback. but you can sitll go on to be pg if you do bleed as it did once happen to me. my advice is get some blood tests and rest. A positive line no matter how faint does mean youre pregnant jackie so take care, Ill be thinking of you. lots of love kathryn x

Oh Jackei, You must be so confused at the moment. Like kathryn says, a line, no matter how faint means you are pregnant. I would do what she says & get your clinic to do blood tests to confirm. I would also recommend you stay in bed & take it really easy. Fingers crossed it is good news for you Sarah xx

Hi Kathryn and Sarah you can tell how much of a state i was in this morning i couldn't even spell properly!! I rung the doc's this morning and they said to hang on and see what happens over weekend, i haven't rung the hospital cos as we were not having tmt i don't know if they'll help? DP took my two tests to the chemist this morning and the doctor said they were positive and people can still bleed, which we know he then gave us a clear blue test and said we could have it for free!!! I did that and that was positive, i then didn't have anymore bleeding but at about q to 4 i got some really sharp pains low down and at about 5 i went to the loo and there was some blood again, there has not really been anything else to speak of, so i'm just going to hang on in and see what happens, i'm not going to keep trying the pg tests, cos what you said Kathryn about it staying in your system has made me try and hang on, my mum bless her went to the chemist near her and bought me some more tests different ones this time and she told the chemist about the bleeding they said it could be breakthrough bleeding whatever that means and my mum couldn't ask her cos some bloke came in to the shop, so its just a case of hanging on and trying to get through the next few days! I'll keep you posted love jackie

Hi Jackie, Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I still have bleeeding and pains and am over 13 weeks. BUT, if your pains start getting bad, please call your doctor just in case. It all just might be implantation bleeding and things starting to move... Take care anyway. Zoe x

hi just to let you know, the bleeding stopped for a while but then started again yesterday afternoon, at about 7 o clock last night i was in so much pain i was bent over, anyway tried to stay positive but all through the night the pain was bad and this morning i was still bleeding, did another test and it was negative, we are both abosloutley gutted but in another way i feel so positive, in 4 years of trying i have never been pg and now i know i can get pregnant without tmt that in itself will give us a massive boost. Last time we had tmt(iui) we were told we can't have another go till oct so we will just have to wait and see what happens, my only concern now is will the hospital still treat us if i managed to get pregnant without their help?? God i hope so it would be my worst nightmare if they turned round and took us off their list. Does anyone think they will do this? Love Jackie

Oh Jackie, I am so, so sorry. You are very brave and obviously mentally strong to take such a positive attitude. It's the only way to go and you are so right about what you say about getting pregnant with no help - it will give you a big boost. I'm not sure about the hospital part, but with 2 unsuccessful attempts I can't see how they would take you off their list. I would still phone your doctor though (GP) and explain your concerns and get yourself checked out. Look after yourself Zoe x

hello jackie, im sorry about your test. im really sorry jackie. Im sure the hospital will continue to treat you though. have you seen the dr since this happened? I would if i were you just to check everything is ok. At worst the hospital may suggest you have another af bfore you continue with your tmt as youve suffered a miscarriage. I know what you mean about feeling kinda positive though, I felt like that.I found comfort in knowing that we did get a + .Im sure if I had had a strong + and got myself excited I would have felt different, but the + gave me some hope. Before ivf every month is such a stress because you desparatley want to fall pg and then af arrives. When youre on ivf it takes that stress away from you desparately trying every month, and because your not stressed, you fell naturally, which must have been a wondeful surprise.Im just sorry that lost your pregnancy. its such an emotional roller coaster that we ride. let me know how you get on with the hospital. thinking of you kathryn x
