Question about pregnancy tests, after chemical pregnancy

Guest_babyangelfever_*	14/12/2012, 02:09 PM Post #1


Hi lovely ladies, Just curious to know how long after a chemical pregnancy did you get a BFN? I want to check to see if there is no trace of hcg left but has anyone still after a chemical tested positive? Thank you for reading

I just had a chemical and my tests went negative the day before bleeding started. My guess is that everyone is different, though. I'd say they should go negative within the week.

Mine was positive for about 2 days after the bleeding started.

Hi lovely ladies, Thanx for your posts. Well the bleeding stopped really two days ago but im still getting positive tests... I just want to know whats going on. I still have the referral for the blood test... I know that will show my levels are coming down but im just wanting to start trying again.

Turned negative about 2 days before the bleeding, which was pretty much just a normal period (except a week late)

It can take sometime for tests to be negative. My blood test wasnt negative until one week after I stopped bleeding. And then I got a + OPK the next day and AF arrived 2 weeks later. Very unexpected. So you can go back to normal very quickly, but for others the next cycle can be a bit stuffed up.

depends on how high the levels got in the first place. have you had your levels checked? I'd get them checked again just to know where you stand. It's not a nice feeling when your levels don't do much either way, I understand the need to just get started again. I've had 4 chem pregnancies and it's so heart breaking. Cuddles. Nikki
