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...

So I did another test just now - big fat nothing. So odd! I guess this is just a freakishly long cycle, have never had one this long before. Hope period turns up soon. And that next cycle is normal!

Hi stopeatingbiscuits I did a test at lunch and got a BFN too, sorry you did as well. Feeling pretty disappointed after the positives I got. Still no AF.

I reckon mine is a chemical pregnancy, I felt sick, exhausted, had bleeding gums and stuffy nose for 4-5 days but it started to go yesterday and today I feel pretty normal. I just hope my period comes soon and it doesn't bugger up my cycle too much.

Am so sorry you got a negative test.

How late is your period now? Does all this mean when our periods come they're going to be mega heavy? :-(

Ugh, probably. I'm only a couple of days late. Back is aching though which could be related to AF. Having a (massive) glass of wine which is helping.

How are you feeling?

In future I'm not going to test until I'm a good week overdue!

I feel fine. Well, not much change. Still feeling pretty nauseous. Yesterday had some mild cramps (though have had on and off for a while) and was expecting period today but nothing yet. Am also flying to Ireland for a work client event tomorrow, just for a night, which could really do without as no doubt period will arrive then with a vengeance.

AF is here, I'm thankful I didn't have too long to wait. It does seem more painful than usual but not unmanageable.

stopeatingbiscuits · 21/01/2015 17:36

I hope it is over soon! Are you trying again next cycle?

Still nothing here. Hmm

Period arrived today - better luck next month I hope!

Seems like it could have been a chemical pregnancy Stop as you did get what looked like a faint line on some of your tests. The same thing happened to me and I got pregnant very shortly thereafter, hopefully that will happen to you too.
