Very Confused And Frustrated...

Hi all! This is my first pregnancy, or
at least I hope it is. I have had 4
positive hpts and had a blood test at the
doctor on monday. The doctor called
yesterday with the results and said they
want to do another blood test next week.
She mentioned the hormone levels were real
low and she thinks: it's too early in the
pregnancy or i'm having a chemical
pregnancy. I have had a little bit of
clotting and brownish stuff on the toilet
paper, but i'm so confused. I don't know
what to think! I think af should have
started 5/4, but i'm not absolutely sure.
I have also been bloated and a bit gassy
and that's it. Has anyone else dealt
with something like this or what do you
all think?

Maybe you are just early in your pregnacy
like the doctor said. But you shouldnt
have brown clotted blood while you are
pregnant, you might be loosing the baby.

I think i'm early in my pregnancy after
talking to some other people, but the
clotting only lasted a couple of days and
it was equivalent to half a dime. Now I
just have a little bit of brown discharge.
Could this be implantation bleeding?

Maeree
i've known several people to spot a
brownish colored blood/discharge during
pregnancy. It's really not uncommon.
Brown blood means that it is old and could
be implantation bleeding. When I was
pregnant the Dr. Told me not to be
concerned unless it was bright red
bleeding. I had both brown and bright red
bleeding off and on for the first 13 weeks
of my pregnancy and now I have a happy,
healthy little boy.
With your hormone level low you could just
be very early into the pregnancy.
Try not to worry to much, stress is hard
on your body...(although I know it's
impossible not to worry)
just try to relax and take it easy until
your next blood test.
You are definatly in my thoughts and I
wish you the best!!

Thanks mom2trevor, it feels good to know
everything's fine so far. This is my
first pregnancy, so i'm naturally scared
of harming the baby in any way.

I understand how you feel. I was the same
way. I was afraid to move because I was
scared I would hurt the baby....You will
start to relax after a while and it won't
be as scary but it's still a lot of
worry...I'm just glad things are okay :)
do you know how far along you are? Or
when you are due?
Take care,

Hey maeree, how are you doing?
Potential treatments include vitamin b6
(at least 50mg a day), progesterone cream,
and baby asprin. Be sure to discuss
potential treatments with your doctor.
A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term
used for a very early miscarriage. With
the ultra sensitive pregnancy tests on the
market today, it is easier than ever to
get a positive result 3 or 4 days before
your period is due.
Most chemical pregnancies are due to
chromosomal problems in the developing
fetus. Other possible causes are
inadequate uterine lining, uterine
abnormalities both congenital or acquired
like fibroids, low hormone levels, luteal
phase defect or certain infections.
Most chemical pregnancies can not be
prevented. Early testing shows chemical
pregnancies which would not have been
detected had the woman waited for her
period to arrive.
Best wishes,
|
