I am thirty four and have recently had surgery for endometriosis in early March after my husband and I could not conceive a child for four years.
I am not certain of my last menstral cycle, but I estimate it as having been from May 22nd to the 28th. It was an extremely heavy and painful period.
Around June 3rd, I started to develop brest tenderness, extreme fatique, and a peculiar discharge which I never witnessed before. It felt as though I was getting my period although I knew it was not possible as I just had one.
Around June 5th, I had moderate spotting which appeared to be the same type of bleeding I had when I had endometriosis. It was likely very dark dried blood which resembled coffee grinds (sorry for being graphic, but I need to know what is going on!)I only spotted the one time. I felt like something was seriously going on with my body, so I took a pregnancy test on June 9th. Sure enough, it came back pregnant and I couldn't have been filled with more joy!
Yesterday, I started bleeding much like I would during a regular period. The bleeding is still going on today and is what I would consider to be somewhere between light and moderate. Majority of the blood is very dark in color (very common with me), but some was reddish in color which I know to be a warning sign.
Is it possible that I am pregnant, or is this likely just a chemical pregnancy/early miscarrage? I have been waiting so long for a child that I am having a hard time accepting the possibility of a miscarriage even though it has only been three days since I got a positive pregnancy test (CVS Digital). I had a blood test done today to check for levels of pregnancy hormone, but will this test be able to inform me if I am still carrying or if I had a miscarriage?

You should call your OB or gyno if you don't have an OB yet and see if you can get an ultra sound sound.
Let us know and good luck :)
My doctor was surprised that I didn't wait until a skipped period to take the test, but the symptoms I was experiencing gave me a huge suspicion that I was pregnant and I followed my instinct and took the test. Being that my pregnancy would be VERY early, my doctor isn't giving me the most positive of vibes and hinted that she thought it may just be a chemical pregnancy. Due to my history of endo, I am completely freaked out, plus I am becoming a train wreck at work as I am both physically and mentally exhausted and work a good nine hours a day.
Does anyone know if recently having surgery for endo could cause a false positive? I know ovarian cysts can cause a false positive, but apparently I had all the endo removed in March and my doctor said there should be no reason why I should not be able to get pregnant.
Well, I just took a second home pregnancy test and the result came back negative. I am highly suspecting a chemical pregnancy.
Apparently, the results of my blood tests came back, but my main doctor is out until Tuesday and her assistant did not call with the results yesterday like the receptionists claimed she would.
Very upset, but considering how common chemical pregnancy is combined with the fact that this was my first pregnancy gave me the feeling it was chemical, so I didn't psyche myself up too much.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a positive then a negative a week later yet still be pregnant? I am on amoxicillin for an ear infection. Anyone know if anti-biotics can mess with pregnancy tests?
Also, does anyone else agree that my doctors are evil for making we wait this long WITHOUT giving me the results of my blood work? No woman should have to wait a week for results. Ridiculous.
