I have been scanned and all has confirmed that everything has passed.
Looking advice, it’s a decision I have made to ttc ASAP.
I have been getting a negative pregnancy test now. But my ovulation stick is getting dark, would it be from the hcg in my body still that is producing the positive lh stick? Even thought my pregnancy test is negative.

oh I hope you have a sticky baby and this is your month ✨ I’m sure it’s such a nervous time. X
If your getting negative tests you won't need your bloods taken, your hgc will be negative.
Good luck, get BD'ing 🤣🤣
I was doing pregnancy tests almost daily and they were becoming more and more faint overtime. So me and the other half BD'd on the 14th February and the next day I started having EWCM. We also BD'd on the 16th February. I then started tracking my LH from the 16th which was low but started getting darker and peaked on the night of the 18th February and dropped back low on the 19th. I still had very faint positive pregnancy tests throughout this time but they were getting lighter and lighter so I knew the LH peak wasn't the HCG.
I then noticed around 2nd March my pregnancy tests were getting darker so contacted the EPU who did a blood test and my HCG was 46. 2 days later 93 (4th march) and another 48hours later 244.
Today I've had an ultrasound scan and the EPU have confirmed that I am pregnant again. It is a real shock as I did not even have a period nor a negative pregnancy test (although the lines were very very faint and I was using frer so likely picking up very small levels of hcg).
So if I were you I'd get to BD-ing as ya'll likely ovulate soon.
Good luck
you have just explained my whole situation, I have been tracking my pregnancy tests to make sure they were getting negative. They are practically negative it’s just line eyes but with the act line if you understand? We bd on Sunday and then yestrday evening and then dismorning I woke up with what was cm and now today I have had a bit of cm which I haven’t had. So I’m hopeful. I told him we have to bd tomor night lol I’m so happy for you that all is ok for you. How many weeks are you then. The midwife said to me if I was to conceive again, that I would get seen to in the earlie pregnancy unit.
Yes completely understand about the 'practically negative' pregnancy tests that's exactly what mine were like (I've attached a picture of some of my testing - the lighter lines don't even show up on the camera but they were there in person). You will have BD'd more than me, so your chances will be even greater than mine lol. That's great, yes as soon as you see your pregnancy tests are getting darker contact your EPU and they will look after you.
My 1st scan yesterday, they put me between 4 to 5 weeks. So super early as expected, they said they just wanted to check it is in the uterus and I have a follow up scan in 2 weeks to check on viability. So all good so far. I assume today I am about 4 weeks and 6 days, based on ovulation and implantation pain and the scan.
In terms of symptoms:
My first missed miscarriage - my symptoms were implantation pain, on and off normal mild abdominal cramping (uterus growing), constipation, tiredness and severe morning sickness (I was on 2 medications for it) from 6 weeks onwards. Slightly sore boobs from 5.5 weeks and nipples got bigger.
My second missed miscarriage - my symptoms were extremely sore nipples/boobs and nipple changes from 4 weeks, tiredness, on and off normal mild abdominal cramping (uterus growing) and only mild nausea.
This current pregnancy - very minimal symptoms of tiredness, implantation pain (I assume - a week after when I think I ovulated - but definitely knew something was going on), on and off normal mild abdominal cramping (uterus growing) and minor nipple changes.
So all very different, so can never know what to think lol.
Currently I am hopeful but then I have days when I panic that I will have another miscarriage, but those days are much fewer than the hopeful days. I actually feel much less anxious than the second time round!
Keep me posted on how you get on. Is this your first?
my pregnancy tests looking like yours, I don’t know what to make of my ovulation sticks there so light today compared to any other days. So it’s strange.
Whilst I was awaiting for my hgc to come down and getting my blood checked weekly they told me I won't ovulate whilst I still have hgc in my system. I had started using opks as soon as my MC bleeding stopped to see how they worked because I had never used them before, and I noticed the line was getting darker but I presummed it was wrong because they said I won't ovulate, but I obviously did and I missed it.
I would deffo do the opks and it shows high LH get BDing 🤣
Good luck to you too x
