Chemical question

So I had a three day fresh transfer on 7 September. On Sunday 15 September I started bleeding and haven’t stopped, although it’s not continuous and not enough to soak a pad etc, so I convinced myself it was all over. Today was my test day and I tested despite the bleeding as the clinic were calling for the results and I got this. Which is great news but I’ve obviously convinced myself it’s a chemical pregnancy so I can’t feel happy about it, but my question is, how soon after a positive test do you tend to get a negative when it’s a chemical? I feel a bit in limbo at the moment because we all know blood is bad in pregnancy, although my clinic said more common than people talk about. This is my first transfer, so I don’t really know what happens from here. TIA.

From what I read and seen from women experiencing IVF, that it is more common for bleeding when you conceive via IVF and you can still go on to have a healthy pregnancy. If anything, I would say ring your doc to inform them and get your hcg levels check. As long as they are doubling every 48 hrs, then you should be fine. Fingers crossed for you. I have just started my first ivf cycle so I wish i had more information for you.

I wouldn't be writing yourself off yet. I also had bleeding in early pregnancy, much more common in IVF. I would test using strip tests tomorrow and then again 2 or more days later and see if the line is getting darker. Does your clinic offer interval bloods 2 days apart to check for rising Hcg?

I’m not sure whether it does or not. We are funding it all privately so I’d happily pay. I might give them a call in the morning. We are booked in for a scan in 3 weeks. I think I’ll send myself crazy if I test that often. I will probably just test again a week apart because let’s face it, sadly, there’s not actually anything you can do at this stage is there. God this process is BRUTAL! 🩷

Hi, first of all I really hope everything will be okay 💕 but maybe see if you can get an ultrasound or blood work? Personally, I bled quite a bit at 5weeks, and then spotted until my 9th week because I had a subchorionic hematoma. My clinic told me they’re super common with IVF pregnancies. As long as there’s no major clots and you’re not filling a pad under 2hrs, they told me it was normal amounts of bleeding. Wishing you the best, I know how stressful it can be 💕

Bleeding is very common in ivf. I had a chemical 2 years ago and got my negative test a couple days after my positive test.
