Is this a chemical, or still considered a BFP?

Hello ladies.
I'm not really sure whats going on with me right now. I had a 14wk MC last year, but I think I'm having a chemical now, but I don't know.

I got a faint line morning of 8/9 DPO with FRER, with a strong clear line later in the day.
on 9/10 DPO I got 2 clear positive FRER test with a little progression from the previous day.
on 10/11 DPO I used my last FRER and got another strong line with a little progression again.

Roll on 11/12 DPO and I went out to pick up a CB digital and a couple more FRER to keep an eye on line progression.
I did a FRER with about 1-2 hours hold... completely negative!
Panic of course insures. Another clear FRER negative 30 mins later.
Then later in the day the digi returned a negative. again not much of a hold. I had resorted to manically peeing on the damn tests.

Now 12/13DPO and run out of tests. I'm not bleeding, nor cramping. Boobs still sore, still feeling sick, but that's probably anxiety now.

Is this a chemical? I would have thought I would be bleeding by now if it was, but 3 negative tests following the 5 positive ones assumes chemical, right? Why am I not bleeding/cramping if that's the case? Does it take a few days after a negative test for that to happen?

I'm really panicking now, and confused as anything.

Ok what i will say of you didnt gold enough you need a minimum of 4-5hrs hold and generally a digi is less sensitive than a frer . My chemicals have been a faint line for one day and then gone and then period either as normal or a few days later.

I would test again with dmu or after no drinks and a 4 hr hold no less and see what happens. If it is still negative it maybe that you have had a chemical xxx best of luck

@MrsLouB
Thanks hunnie. Yeah I certainly should have held longer, I just went into chaos mode when that first negative happened. I might wait and see if AF arrives in the next couple days and retest if it hasn't shown up.
Fingers crossed it's just a scare, but I doubt it :(

This happened to me, 5 days after several daily positives my tests started coming up negative. I didn't get any cramping/pain, period started heavy on day 7 :-( Fingers crossed for you it's very disheartening x

Best of luck @MyAngelAbove ive been there so i know how crap it is mine where there one day and gone the next xxx

My period was delayed roughly twice the length of time i had had BFP tests for - so if I tested positive for 5 days then period would turn up after 10 x
