5w5d and still testing?

UPDATE: 6w exactly and my HCG was 14,262. Going back on Monday for a repeat blood draw. Praying it’s still moving up! I feel *slightly* better seeing that it’s at a normal range.

I had a miscarriage two months ago at 5w 6d, and I’ve been terrified of it happening again. I’ve been testing every day or two just to see the positives. And today I got a negative digital. I don’t know what to think could be happening other than a threatened miscarriage. Has anyone had dropping hcg levels without losing there LO?

That negative test was a one off, manufacturer defect, especially since you’ve gotten multiple positives since then.

Have you gotten any blood work done?

Im going Friday! I talked to the nurse today and she said as long as I’m not bleeding, for now we’re calling it a good sign. especially since I’m still getting positives. That one digital is the only negative I’ve gotten. After a repeat digital today I’m starting to think maybe it was a broken test

Are you still getting positives on your other tests? I’d suggest calling your doctor and asking for blood work. I’m so sorry about your miscarriage. I’m in the same boat. I’m still testing daily because I’m so nervous.

I’m going Friday for blood work! And I’m getting positives on all other tests. And got a positive digital this afternoon as well. I’m just so anxious about this being the start of another miscarriage it’s unreal.🥺 testing daily has been my only comfort

Unfortunately you could still get positive pregnancy tests after already having a miscarriage. It’s happened to me :( The only way to know for sure is getting an ultrasound.

So I waited until my hcg levels were back at zero before trying again. A whole new pregnancy. And I’ve gotten multiple positives today after that one negative
