Chemical Pregnancy?

[Rumples]

Hi everyone,

Convinced myself I'm having a chemical pregnancy. Had 2 positive FRER at 10dpo & 12DPO - I'll attach pic. Was due my period on Sunday so last night me and my partner did a clear blue digital to see it in writing and it came back 'Not Pregnant'.

I thought maybe my urine was too dilated. Really struggled to sleep so I've just done another one with FMU. 'Not Pregnant' again .

Does this sound like a chemical? I feel so sad that I'm just waiting for bleeding to start.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to a digital tbh. They're notoriously dodgy.

Do you have any other types of tests you could try? Even a stack of cheap Poundland or eBay ones.

When did you get your two positives?

Literally explains in the op when she got the first two positives.

Doesn't say what day of the week, which is what I meant...

2 positives were from Wednesday and Friday last week. So first positive was a week ago now on the FRER.

No more tests though! I might give it a few days and see if I start bleeding.

Sorry OP it doesn't sound like it will be good news - if you first had a positive test last week you absolutely should have got a BFP on a digital by now x

@ivfgottostaypositive thanks for the reply. I thought as much tbh. I've been having cramps since last night too so it's probably inevitable now.

Pitfalls of testing early I guess

The cramping isn't a good sign when coupled with a negative test.

You could try ringing your local epu to see what they say? They'll probably advise you to wait x2 weeks then come in for a scan.

You could try taking more tests to see if there's a dark line still.

Some women claim to have never got on with cb digitals though. So you might still be ok

Thanks for your reply. The cramps have eased off but I'm not holding out much hope.

I'm going to call and grab a couple of cheap tests on my way home from work just to see. If there is only a faint line then I know for sure.

Hopefully if it is a CP the bleeding starts soon so I can get onto my next cycle.

I know how you feel -the limbo between a BFP and a MC is horrible.

Hope you're doing ok.

Hi @Rumples
I had various positives on all different tests including cb digitals and said I was 1-2 weeks on 29th/30th May. On 6th June I had incredibly awful lower back pains and then morning of the 7th (5 weeks at this point), I started heavily bleeding, of which I still am bleeding (easing off now). My tests no longer show a strong positive but a barely visible second line.
It was my first pregnancy and I never thought id be grieving for something that I’d only known about for 10 days.
I hope your situation is different to mine. Stay positive no matter the outcome though x

Horrible isn't it

@Chicken123 so sorry to hear that. Hope you're feeling okay .

I've been reading a few things online and it says to look at it as a positive because it's showing you can get pregnant.

I've just done another test and it's 100% negative.

Just one of those things.

Thanks everyone xx

Awww sorry love I had a chemical pregnancy last month. It's awful. Such a rollercoaster ride! Good news is I just got a BFP and heard it's super common to conceive the following month. Fingers crossed for you!! ✨

@fafi thanks so much! I've started bleeding now so on CD1 so fingers crossed for this next cycle.

Congrats on your BFP

I was told by doctors at the miscarriage clinic that chemical pregnancy and early miscarriage can be a sign of fertility/ that your body is receptive to pregnancy. So you might actually find it easier to get pregnant than most.
