Chemical Pregnancy Advise/Help
Hi, *long post*:
I posted a little bit ago in the faint positives about some pregnancy tests I had taken.
I was supposed to get my period February 22nd or 23rd, but it did not arrive until the 24th. Which is not super uncommon with my periods to be a day late or anything. It lasted 3 days (mine usually always last at least 4), I had no cramping (which is definitely unusual), bleeding only mild. When it ended, I was feeling massively exhausted. Could barely get out of bed, felt like I'd collapse at work, just plain freaking exhausted.
My friend was worried I was so tired and she said to take a pregnancy test because she had what she thought was a period and then found out she was pregnant. I thought that was weird, you're not supposed to bleed or get a "period" when you're pregnant. But, I did take a test 4/5 days after the period I had because I had been drinking a little bit and I was like "Well, let's be absolutely sure then." I tested and got a positive. The next couple days I got positives on FRERs but they were more faint. I went to my OB to confirm with a blood test and they had called me back and told me I was not pregnant. I honestly dislike my doctor's office, because they wouldn't answer any of my questions. I believe I had a chemical pregnancy (early miscarriage) but no one would confirm this for me. I took more pregnancy tests and they were extremely faint and then eventually negative, so I went ahead with my own assumptions that I unfortunately miscarried very early. I had no cramping or bleeding at all. I tried to get them to see me and I couldn't.
Now, for the past 2/3 days I have been having bad period-like cramping, pelvic pain, some lower back pain and frequently peeing. The cramping is concerning me.
I'm not sure what to think at this point. I was trying to process my loss, thinking of the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy and just all over the place because I don't have answers. I am being seen Monday by an NP that can hopefully take my concerns seriously and answer my questions, but I'm wondering... Has anyone else experienced something remotely close to this?
