Does this sound like a chemical pregnancy?..

So I got positive OPK on days CD 17/18 and got busy both of these days. That is quite late for ovulation for me, though I am still BF and cycles all over the place. They have been between 24 and 27 days last few months, though there was one which was 31 days which is the longest it has ever been. Luteal phase has generally been around10/11 days.

Yesterday (CD 30) I took a test with a FRER, and got a faint but definite positive. Today (CD 31) I jsut took another FRER and got nothing (I don't think - there was a mega faint line I could barely see but I think just evaporation line).

I have been feeling sick literally since a couple of days after ovulation (I posted about that on here - it seemed insane) but I sort of put it down to being in my head. But I still feel nauseous. In fact worse today. I had awful morning sickness until week 20 with both of them (worse with second).

So far no period. I have had some mild cramps / pains last few days, which sometimes I get before a period, sometimes not. I also had them during early pregnancy with both of my sons. With my first son I didn't get a positive test until the day of my missed period. With my second I got a positive test at 8 DPO (!).

If I was pregnant wouldn't I be getting a proper positive by now? I guess I could be 13 DPO which maybe isn't that much. But the +ve yesterday threw me.

This would be potential pregnancy and baby #3 for me. So I should know better than to be writing this sort of nonsense...

Jbop I'd request a blood test at drs to check hcg. Mine started getting fainter and ended in mc. I don't mean to worry you.. but hcg tests are a sure way to know what's going on.

I'm in a similar situation as you.. Did two FRER tests last Thursday and Friday both with faint positives at about 14dpo, did another today (different make but apparently super sensitive Superdrug own brand) and seem to have an even fainter line Confused

Feeling crampy, bloated and boobs hurt, but not as sick as I did last few days so am slowly convincing myself this could be a chemical pregnancy... AF due today so going to try to leave it until the weekend before testing again (assuming AF doesn't make an appearance).

Yes it does because the amount if dye in each batch varies. I had exactly the same thing. .. so one might have a super thick and dark like because there's lots of dye. .. or it could be thin and weak because there's not loads.

Look at the test line to see if they are different. X

do you have a picture of the test today biscuits

Number3cometome · 19/01/2015 16:18

Do one first thing tomorrow and post a pic!

Right. There is a super mega faint line. Can literally barely see it but there is definitely something there, slightly stronger than the one I did a few hours ago.

I probably need to reign in the crazy a bit now...

Ha that's true I guess. I have been feeling more crampy today so maybe is just super late period though.

I am going to nip into the loos and do another one. Good nutty behaviour...

If you've had a positive result, no matter how faint, you are pregnant. You can't be having chemical unless you bleed so best of luck AF stays away.
Good luck.

Ha sadly the one I did yesterday is at home, and I'm at work (but it is definitely a positive, and actually not even that faint).

The one I did today was from a different packet. Does that make a difference?

I just tried to take a pic of the one from today but you really can't see anything. Can barely see it with naked eye which is why I think just an evap line.

I'm gonna need to see a photo. ..

We're both tests Frers and from the same packet?

And no chemical unless your period comes. Your not out till your out!
