Almost since I got my first positive I thought it was going to be a chemical pregnancy. The evening after my first positive (around 13dpo) I started spotting which lasted for a few days and turned into bright red bleeding assuming the worst I contacted my doctor. They had me do labs 2 days apart. Lab 1 (around 17dpo) came back low with hcg at 79 and progesterone at 5, I thought to myself there’s no way this is viable and my hcg won’t rise correctly. Well I went to a diagnostics center (it was the weekend)for my 2nd draw less than 40 hrs later and it came back 177. I was completely shocked that my levels were doubling while I was bleeding (like a light/mild period with less clotting). I was supposed to have my confirmation appointment today but these winter storms have my doctors office shut down 😭. I can’t even get another blood test done until I have doctors order...

We’ve had problems getting pregnant,and have been trying for just under 2yrs, so this pregnancy felt like a miracle since we did it with no intervention. With my son it took over 2 years to conceive and we were preparing for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> so I was on some hormones such as progesterone when we conceived “naturally”.

I’m super nervous so I’ve continued taking ahpt every day or 2, up until 2 days ago they were darkening but now they’re lighter again no idea if it’s because my hcg is finally dropping from a loss a week ago or if it’s because I wake up in the middle of the to pee(4-6 hrs after last pee). I only have 1 test left so I can’t tournament myself much longer

Pictures of last few days, 2nd and 3rd from last are both from yesterday.

I just want to know if I should cry and get back on with my exercise part of my weight loss plan so my body is better prepared to try again or take a breath and plan for a baby. Hopefully I can get orders for blood work soon.

If you read this far Thank you I just needed to vent.
