Brief Answer:
Are you on any hormonal pills? Cannot interfere with pregnancy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this rash and all the inconveniences this must have caused you. I have reviewed both images are these are acne like rashes. This is often common with persons on hormonal supplements. If you are taking any pills at this time, please report to me. However, this rash is suggestive of hormonal changes that seems to be totally okay given the fact that you are probably experiencing a pregnancy: A period with huge hormonal changes and adaptations.

In all, suggestive of hormonal changes and will not interfere with pregnancy. Report your drugs to me.

I wish you well and hope to hear back from you. Also, feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you. Unfortunately, i tested today and the lines on my prefnancy test got much fainter than the last 2 days. I'm worried its a chemical pregnancy, but we had a normal tested embryo put in. Hoping for the best, my hcg test is tomorrow.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I know the burning desire to get pregnant. Whatever the outcome, be strong and positive. If it doesn't work now, am sure it will work on subsequent trials. I am interested to know how it goes tomorrow. Please, kindly update me.

Until then, be strong, happy and optimistic.
