I have been having what I thought was my period since last Thursday. Not any lighter than a normal period for me however, I have also been having some weird symptoms that were similar to when I found out I was pregnant with DD2 so H convinced me to take a test this morning because he said it would make him feel better if nothing else. Well I did...and wouldn't you know that thing was positive. I called my OB and she sent me for a blood draw and while I was waiting to be called back for it I decided to go take the second test that came in the pack from this morning. It came back negative. I am so freaking confused. I know I will get my answer when the blood test results come back in but I mean really what the hell?! What a mindfuck for a Monday morning.
I am freaking out. My youngest is 3 months old and we had planned on her being the last and H getting a vasectomy but had one weak moment one night and here we are. If this is for real we will have 3 under 3
So anybody want to tell me a story about that time they got a positive pregnancy test but really were not pregnant?
If I'm being honest with myself I really think I probably am too. However, with the amount of bleeding I am having I am wondering if I am miscarrying. I had spotting early on with my other pregnancies but this is way heavier than that.
I already have the orders for another blood draw in 48 hours.
Blue or pink dye test? I definitely got a false positive on a blue test once and remember vividly screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol. Fingers crossed for the outcome you want!

Blue dye! I should know better than to go with a blue dye test but I was like 100% positive that I was not pregnant because I thought I had been on my period since Thursday so I just bought the cheapest pack of 2 tests they had.

Blue dye combined with a period amount of bleeding makes me doubtful you are pregnant. <3
They said they would have my blood test results in about 2 hours since the doctor put a STAT order on them so I am trying to wait it out for that since it will tell me more reliably than a pee stick test anyways. But I'm sitting at work about to have a panic attack in the meantime.
This happened to me a couple of years ago. We'd been trying for a while and had a MMC, I took a digital test and it was positive (sorry, I don't remember which brand), MH and I were overjoyed, I immediately went away on a business trip, and then got a super-heavy period/bleeding while I was away. When I came back home I scheduled an ultrasound and the doc said he couldn't see anything. I asked if it had been a chemical pregnancy and he said he didn't know, it could've been either that or a false positive.
Good luck - I hope you get the result that you want.

I'm sorry to hear about your MMC. I had a chemical pregnancy before DD1 and now that I think about it the bleeding and cramping I am having are similar to that. I just thought I was having a lot more cramping then usual because of only being 3 months PP.

Thank you - we have a healthy DD now and I'm very grateful. I'm sorry you're dealing with this situation and I hope it winds up the way you want it to.
Its been 3 hours since the blood draw. I don't want to be one of those people that calls for my test results because they haven't called me fast enough but I sure wish they would hurry up. I feel like I'm going to puke.

morning sickness?
Seriously? Jerk move, dude.
OP - I hope you get the call with results soon. I’d definitely call before the end of the day if they haven’t contacted you yet.

It wasn't meant to be...I know it's a figure of speech but if she actually felt nausea that could be a sign. Also brought to you by the fact that I'm currently taking small bites of pretzels and sipping ginger ale
and yes, this happened to me once. I took a test after I found out my mom was ill because I needed to know. I didn't tell my husband because so much was going on with my mom. But I finally did with a nice announcement and he said he wanted to see the test. It was a digital and it had already gone blank (the response only stays like 48 hours). I took another one to show him and it was negative. He was legit worried about me thinking I made it up, not on purpose, but just needing it to be positive in light of my mom's illness. Blood draw for me was negative so they assumed chemical pregnancy.
Good luck, I hope they don't keep you in limbo too long

Doctor just called. Blood test came back negative! I am so relieved! 3 under 3 would have been a lot.
So I'm thinking probably a chemical pregnancy. Either way I think this was the wake up call H needed to get his vasectomy scheduled ASAP so that is something good that came out of it.

I'm buying wine on the way home tonight.
Also, fuck blue dye tests. Never again.
just be sure you follow all the post-procedure instructions and have protected sex until he gets his post op sperm check. I made H get two.

So true. I have a good friend whose husband didn’t go for a check bc “what could go wrong?” well, she got pregnant pretty quickly and it was a lot of drama until he went to the doc and found that he was still fertile.

Yes! My husband’s urologist wouldn’t clear him until he had 2 clean samples at least a month apart. I was glad that he was so conservative in that because the odds of failure after that are so incredibly low.

For a second I thought you meant two vasectomies.
