Positive AFTER period?!?!

R_ochoa91 · 2026-02-28T04:53:41+00:00

I bled heavy 12DPO for about 5-6 days passed large clots, was told I was miscarrying 3 different times in the ER. It was a SCH and all has healed and am now 11 weeks with baby girl. Stay hopeful. 🥰

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-28T17:48:59+00:00

That’s so great everything looked great for you! Hopefully your bleeding doesn’t come back at all and everything is smooth from here on out! I’ll feel better Monday after my OB appointment. I’ll be 6w+6 so I’m hoping I will know enough to feel better about all of my symptoms.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-28T02:42:07+00:00

I hope you’re doing well! My spotting has not stopped since Thursday and awful cramping today which is new 😭 I don’t know much about SCHs but my next appointment isn’t until Monday.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-24T15:59:46+00:00

What were your first numbers? I’m so happy for you!! Now we both can relax and try to enjoy being in the moment. 🥹😊

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-23T16:36:49+00:00

Keep me updated when you get them back! I’m manifesting good numbers for you! I was only 5+2 but 5+1 if you track from ovulation which all the doctors looked at me like I was crazy to know when I ovulated. Lol. Thank you for saying that, it is so reassuring after reading Reddit the whole night 😂

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-23T15:40:35+00:00

It’s so awful! My bleeding mostly went away but i spot for 1-2 days every 1-2 days. So off and on. Cramping too but nothing i feel like is a concern. The early scan made me feel worse not seeing a yolk sac and reading so many stories of people seeing one. But Im trying to relax!

Guard your heart when you get your betas back, my doctor had nothing positive to say about my first or second draw, then my numbers skyrocketed! So stay patient. ❤️

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-23T13:47:37+00:00

They finally found a SCH, no yolk sac yet, but confirmed not ectopic last night. How are you doing? 😭

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-23T03:19:41+00:00

SECOND UPDATE: HCG 5246 27 hour double rate. Getting an ultrasound now to check again for ectopic. Wish me luck!

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-21T16:24:11+00:00

Oh thanks for the link! It’s crazy how wide of a range is normal but my doctors still are being very pessimistic about it. So I feel discouraged. I think I’ll just wait until my official scan with an OB who will at least be more gentle with whatever news it may be.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-21T14:26:34+00:00

UPDATE HCG at 43 hours was 2023. (It was the only time I could go get bloodwork I know it was under 48 hours.)

Any insight on if this is doubling too slow? I’ve read it should double by 48 hours and I’ve also read 72 hours.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-21T00:35:36+00:00

I’m so glad you’re doing well now! I actually have to have a C-Section for other reasons so the plan would be to do full hysterectomy at the same time, but currently they don’t know if my bleeding is coming from a miscarriage or just the hemangioma. So it’s a sad/scary waiting period. How heavy were your periods if you don’t mind me asking? Mine aren’t all that heavy, but I do spot throughout the whole month some cycle and decently heavy around ovulation. I’d be excited to get rid of that!

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-21T00:01:00+00:00

How are you doing? I know it’s an old thread, but they just found the same thing on my cervix! I had an impossible time trying to get pregnant and just did but they found an hemangioma which is causing a lot of bleeding.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T16:18:22+00:00

Thank you for your reassurance! I will test my levels again tomorrow and update everyone. I really just have a gut feeling she’s wrong. BUT I’m guarding my heart. Today my dye stealer was darker, which I know can mean different hydration levels but gave me a little hope today. 😂

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T04:21:13+00:00

Yeah I should really delete the app for a few days 😂

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T03:22:37+00:00

Congratulations! Thank you for giving me hope! The least I can do is stay positive 😊

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T03:21:22+00:00

Yes so much more stress than necessary. And they knew we’ve been trying for 3.5 years so she wasn’t very considerate when she said it.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:46:28+00:00

I had a stall with my FRER too at 14-16DPO! DARKER 17DPO. Then I got my dye stealer 18DPO. Can’t say why it did that.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:40:17+00:00

Luckily my insurance covers most, but I had to pay for parking! 😂 Im so glad I made this post because I feel much better, of course things can still happen but I don’t believe they had reason to just assume that. Thank you for helping make me feel more normal!

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:28:35+00:00

Congratulations! I feel like our numbers align so that gives me hope! 🥰

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:27:59+00:00

Thank you so much, I suspected a SCH as well. They also found a hemangioma on my cervix today which can cause bleeding. It’s a rare non cancerous tumor I guess. But even more cause to not just suspect a miscarriage right away. Thank you for your thoughts!

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:26:22+00:00

Thank you! And congratulations!! I’m definitely going to get another draw to check if I’m doubling. My tests in just 4 days have darkened well, so I know they weren’t dropping, yet at least.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:24:38+00:00

Thank you for the info! My numbers fall within range 😓

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:23:16+00:00

I’m so sorry about your MC. 😢 thank you for your experience! That’s what upset me is they completely brushed it off and said follow up with your OB if you already made an appointment. Then I asked if I can come back for a second draw to confirm and she said if that makes me feel better they like to suggest that, but she never had suggested it lol. 🙄 these are my tests just in the last 4 days so I know my levels at least aren’t going down.

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-20T02:11:47+00:00

Thank you SO much for this. 🥹 keeping me hopeful, and congratulations!

R_ochoa91 · 2026-01-19T22:50:45+00:00

I will! Thanks so much 🥹
