Positive HPT followed by negatives.. HCG 7.4- Help

May 25:  10 DPO 2 positive pregnancy tests (same brand but different packs- taken at night)
- May 26:   Dr.  blood work- my HCG levels were 7.4 Progesterone good
- May 27:    2 negative HPT
- May 28:  2 nd round of blood work to see if HCG is rising will not get results until Tuesday. Another negative HPT.
- May 29: Negative HPT
- May 30: Negative HPT

I just have to accept it was an early miscarriage.   Has anyone ever had positives followed by negatives and still been pregnant?

I think you had what's called a "chemical pregnancy." If all those tests are showing negative every day now, I don't think it's possible that you're pregnant. Sorry :( Best wishes.

I just had one last week chemical pregnancy is the same thing as an early miscarriage and fairly common from what I understand. I am sorry about your loss, the positive is it was early so it is easier on your body. My Re described it as disappointing but hopeful. Doesn't make it any easier you emotionally.

I'm sorry to say but I agree with the other ladies and believe this could have been a Chemical Pregnancy. A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman’s period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound. 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. It is wonderful for those who NEED to know, but does have it’s down side. Early testing shows chemical pregnancies which would not have been detected had the woman waited for her period to arrive. Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.

Good luck and I hope your OB can provide you some much needed answers. SSBD
