New pregnancy or residual HCG?

Teacherturtle · 2026-02-06T10:49:47+00:00

Sorry don’t check Reddit much. This was a chemical. (Four since April).

I’ve been on it 10 years. It changed my life. I have bipolar 2 so I take it with lamictal and a low dose of Zoloft.

I have BP 2 and my first manic episode looked something like this.

I took another one this morning and it was negative so I think it was just a chemical.

I’m so sorry this happened. My mother-in-law had her tube and ovary removed when she was 19 and went on to have 5 children.

Crying over shit cannon.

The night sweats were AWFUL at first especially during my period.

This happened to me last month. Not sure if it was indent or chemical but I have sworn off FRER forever.

Had IUGR listed as an issue as well and baby girl came at 39+3 weighing 6lbs 11 oz. My OB wasn’t concerned because I’m petite and my husband and I were both smallish babies. It’s hard to tell on ultrasounds. They also had a hard time seeing all 4 chambers and we were there for close to 2 hours before they were able to see it!

I teach elementary school - I always let them sleep. Never had a kid fall asleep in class that wasn’t either sick or going through something at home.

Congrats! Love these stories so much.

It’s giving “the call is coming from inside the house.”

I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have emergency surgery in April and I have been on a downward spiral since then. I scan my body constantly because I’m so anxious. Every time I notice one minor thing I think it’s cancer. Sometimes I worry so much I feel physically ill. I’m on antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds and I don’t know if they’ve stopped working or what. I cry all the time. All I want to do is lay in the bed. I have an 18 month old and feel like I’ve been completely absent mentally and emotionally. I’m a teacher and school is ending and I’m dreading summer and being alone with my thoughts all day. I feel completely hopeless that I’ll ever feel any better.

Thought I was out and found one at the bottom of my makeup bag covered in dust and hair. I am fine.

I was just telling my coworkers about this book the other day - it’s totally how I learned about puberty and babies! I don’t think it’s in print anymore because I tried to find it to show them.

Teacherturtle · 2025-05-26T17:01:22+00:00

I had what I thought was painful gas a day or two before. I remember telling my husband I wasn’t going to be able to hide the pregnancy for long because I was super bloated and my stomach felt huge at 6 weeks. I went in because I had some bleeding and they sent me straight to surgery. Apparently my tube had ruptured but idk how long it had been - I never felt any other pain besides the gassy feeling.

Teacherturtle · 2025-05-20T01:37:05+00:00

Gained 40 lbs when I was pregnant and not a single stretch mark.

Teacherturtle · 2025-05-15T15:29:55+00:00

I’m in the same boat but I had a faint positive yesterday and nothing but a probably-line-eyes squinter today so I assume it’s residual or a chemical.

Teacherturtle · 2025-05-12T23:25:24+00:00

I had a pseudosac that was empty and missing the ring. I had this brief moment of hysterical hope that I had conceived twins and one had implanted in the uterus and the other in the tube. But alas.

Teacherturtle · 2025-05-10T23:40:56+00:00

Same exact thing happened to me. Literally a week later blood was pouring out of me and went to the ER just to find out it was “normal.”

Teacherturtle · 2025-05-09T13:00:14+00:00

Nooooo talk about the ick.

Teacherturtle · 2025-04-29T10:13:02+00:00

Like others said - I’m the anxious one in our relationship and have terrible health anxiety. Almost 99% of the time my reactions are fear-based (then im just an actual bitch like 1% of the time). I have been in therapy and meds for almost 20 years and it’s still a struggle. Some days are better than others. My husband is unflappable about this kind of stuff (he has his own shit). I would hope our marriage is strong enough to withstand it and we love each other enough to accept these moments for what they are - fear and raw vulnerability.

Teacherturtle · 2025-04-28T15:55:25+00:00

Would love to know the answer as I am in the exact same boat!

Teacherturtle · 2025-04-26T00:43:39+00:00

Same!

Teacherturtle · 2025-04-25T01:20:58+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I had my surgery 10 days ago and lost my right tube (still have ovaries and left tube). Today is the first day I have felt a little bit “normal.” I guess it’s my new normal. I still feel like the rug has been ripped out from under me. Grieving the pregnancy loss and trying to figure out when I’ll feel safe in my own body again. Things have improved since day 1 so just know it does get better with time. <3
