Hi ladies,
I had my very first BFP on Monday. I was 8DPO and it was very faint. I knew I was pregnant as had some light pink CM which I had with my first pregnancy (also a chemical) I decided not to tell my partner until I had a stronger line.
9DPO I woke up eager to test but although my liner was free of discharge, when I wiped it was a mix of red, pink and brown CM/blood and my test was negative. I called my GP who said she thought it was a chemical, as did I. I was distraught to say the least. A few hours later and the spotting had gone back to a light pink.
10DPO Still felt very pregnant! Spotting hadn't changed.
11DPO Again, still felt pregnant so I did a test. The faintest of lines came up. My colleague confirmed it as she could see it too.
12DPO (today) Did a test, went to look at it and there was blood. When I wiped I had a mix of bright blood, dark blood and CM. Too much to be classed as spotting and so I used a tampon.
I've been distraught all day, very tearful. The NHS won't see me until I've had this happen to me 3 times so I'm either waiting on another chemical pregnancy to have tests or hopefully a sticky BFP soon. I'm trying to cling on to the positives that we are able to conceive and in the 5 months we've been trying we've done it twice.
ADVICE PLEASE: I'm under no uncertainty that this is a chemical but what I'm confused about is the bleeding. With my first one, I bled hard and heavy for 7 full days once the egg had unstuck itself and never got another BFP. This time it all seems to sluggish. Although the discharge/bleed is bloody and heavier than spotting, it's not really doing much and I'm currently in no pain. With my first I needed all of the painkillers and super, super tampons! I'm almost hoping for a heavy bleed to get it all out and done with. Anyone had an experience like this? xx
