Chemical Pregnancy Experiences

Hello,

I’m new here but was hoping someone could share their experience with me. TTC for 11 months and I got faint BFP day after AF was due (Weds). I tested each day and the line was been getting darker and darker. Yesterday my period arrived after a pretty strong positive test in the morning. Can anyone tell me, what comes first with a chemical pregnancy, the bleeding of the negative test? Or does it vary from person to person. I’m assuming the worst here but would like to hear from someone who has gone through similar. Thank you! 😊

I've had 3 cps this year. All of them I had faint bfp that got a little stronger then seemed to start to fade. They were still positive when AF arrived and for a couple of days after. Hugs. Fingers crossed this isn't a CP for you

I was 19 (29 now) and I had a bfp on the friday. I was told by the GP to repeat the test on Monday. He phoned me in the morning and it was still +. He arranged for me to attend the sexual health clinic for examination that day. I was bleeding by the lunchtime. They made me do another urine sample which was blood stained! Still +. I was sent to the hospital for a scan and there words were "there is no evidence of anything ever having implanted in your uterus"

I was back at maternity outpatients for 7 weeks in a row for bloods as my levels were taking too long to reduce so they were worried the pregnancy was growing elsewhere i.e fallopian tube.
It did eventually reduce and that was that really.

@Ellie42567 I got a faint BFP day before AF due then started bleeding 4 days later for 4 days just like a normal AF, took a pregnancy test a week after bleeding stopped & it was BFN, I had a positive OPK exactly 2 weeks after bleeding stopped too then AF exactly 2 weeks after that on it’s due date

Thank you for your reply ☺️ I’ll try not to get my hopes up too much but 🤞🏻. It’s so hard all the waiting! I feel like I’m waiting to ovulate, 2 week wait, waiting for AF to finish so we can try all over again and now I’m waiting to see if I’m still getting a BFP. It’s driving me crazy. 🤣

I had some faint but positive lines that never really got darker - then started getting lighter until negative and then I bled.
Fingers crossed 🤞 for you

Thank you for your replies ladies. I will test tomorrow to see if it’s getting lighter or darker. I guess if it’s still getting darker then I should call GP to see what’s going on.

Worth trying for a blood test at your GP? Some people can still get bleeding while preggers.

With my chemicals the tests got lighter and turned negative and then I got my period

Some people can still get a period even though they are pregnant so I'd maybe keep testing to see whether tests get darker or lighter x
