Hi all,
After my 1st miscarriage in June I lurked on this board but didn't really post. Reading did help me as I knew there were women going through the same thing I was. I was also trying to stay positive as I knew I wanted to try again.
We did IVF #2 this month and my beta was set for 10/28. On 10/26 I took an HPT and got a positive, YAY!! Unfortunately that night I started to bleed. I called the nurse and she said to come in 1028 for the test. Turns out it was a chemical pregnancy, my HCG was only 13. I have to go back Monday to make sure it's down to 0. I am going to try again but it's really hitting me hard right now
Here is my question, have any of you that had c/p's experience severe cramping and very heavy bleeding? I was under the impression it would be more like a regular period but this is almost worse than my 1st mc?
Hugs to all of you and thank you for helping me to see I'm not alone.
xoxo
Re: New poster and question
I had a chemical pregnancy in August. I did have really horrible bleeding and cramping. I don't know if that was the norm for anyone else but for me it was.
I am so sorry for your losses and my prayers are with you.
I'm just finishing up my chemical AF and I didn't have much cramping (but then again I almost never have cramping for any AF). Bleeding was heavier than usual but not as bad as the AF after my first D&C.
So sorry about your chemical.
I'm so sorry for your losses. I do not have any CP experience, but I have heard both--heavy cramping/bleeding, or just like AF.
I hope your levels get to 0 soon! ((hugs))
Thanks so much ladies
and so sorry for your losses as well ((HUGS))

Thanks again for your responses. It was nice to know the severe cramping and heavy bleeding wasn't completely abnormal. I started to feel better physically Sunday, I'm just really tired. I heard back from my RE and my levels are back to 0. Happy and sad at the same time
