Miscarrige? pregnant? eptopic?

Hello All (sorry it's long)
I have had 6 home pregnancy test that have all come positive, but i haven't yet had a missed period. My periods are regular on a 28 day cycle. I had a period on April 13th for my usual 5 days. Then in May it was alot lighter and only lasted 4 days. Me and my partner had intercourse on the 25th May so i'm guessing this is the day we concieved. I did the first HPT on the 30th May. I just wasn't feeling myself. I had tender breasts, nausea and the odd stomach cramp. So i got a positive from my test and did another one the following morning and again got a positive.
Over the next few days i did some more tests and got positives everytime. I finally got a doctors appointment on the 7th June,but an hour before my appointment i started spotting. I told my doctor and she advised me that if it got heavier to let her know. It got heavier so she arranged for me to see the early pregnancy unit on the 11th. I realized over the weekend that i was actually due on my period on the 8th. So this bleeding felt nothing more than my period.
I went to the early pregnancy unit and they couldn't see anything at all on the ultrasound or the transvaginal scan. They said it's either too early or i have miscarried or it's ectopic. My pregnancy symptoms have gone.They took my blood and it was only 30 then went to 33 then down to 27. I am going back tomorrow (21st June) for more blood to be taken.
I have had no abdominal cramps or pains. My period lasted for it's usual 5 days. Surely i'd know if i'd miscarried or it was ectopic. Please help i just want to know what the hell is going on!!!

Thank your for ur kind words. I went to the hospital yesterday to have more blood taken. The midwife rang me in the afternoon and said it was now 3 so it is negative. I am happy i finally have an answer. Having not experienced a mc before and reading other peoples stories i thought i would have had really bad cramps and bleeding. But i guess it was so early that i didn't feel a thing.
Me and my partner hadn't told anyone i was pregnant and we know it hadn't really developed into anything yet. So we will keep trying for #2.

Sounds like a chemical pregnancy which is a type of early m/c.  Sorry. Good luck to you.

Im sorry for what you are experiencing. I hope what I'm about to say is wrong in your case but I know you are looking for an honest answer so you can get to the bottom of this situation.  Honestly my opinion would be that you would mc because of the declining beta. It may not happen right away. We were told may 14th I would loose our first baby and I had my mc on May 17th. It sounds like you were pregnant when you had the first odd period and then the embryo arrested which would cause the decline in your beta hcg (blood test) if your body doesn't get rid of it on its own Your dr will have to do a d&c. Its important that you know if this is the case that in no way is it your fault the pregnancy didn't make it. I'm guessing you will be having follow up beta hcgs till your number is less than 5 which is considered negative. I sure hope I'm wrong but from what you describe this is what I would say is happening.
