Experiences after chemical pregnancy

I tested positive last week but unfortunately turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. I'm still getting faint positives but have had normal period bleeding since.

Just looked for other's experiences on how long you may have continued to get faint positives? And also how long after a chemical you ovulated? I was ovulating pretty predictably beforehand.

Sending love and baby dust to everyone TTC x

@TTCfirst1 I haven't had this but I recently had three chemicals three months in a row. I'm giving it a break this cycle and haven't had any mid cycle bleeding. The three cycles I had my chemicals though I had break through bleeding (pink on wiping) at around about the time my period was due but I didn't have this with any of my successful pregnancies.

Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear that you’ve had 3 CPs. I really wish you baby dust soon!
It really is a rollercoaster isn’t it! I also have stage 4 endometriosis and I turn 35 in a few months so I’m just praying it will happen for us soon 🤞

I had 3 right before my current pregnancy. Always tested faint positive for a further 4-5 days or so and ovulated around 2 weeks after the bleeding started. The successful pregnancy followed 2 chemicals in a row and the line was darker from the start. I hope this happens for you soon!

I had a chemical last month and bleed for 2 weeks straight (normally bleed for 6 days with my period) I haven't ovulated this month at all.
It takes a while for the hcg to decrease so you can still see the faint line for a few days . I think it took a few days to a week before I tested completely negative again

I think my message was misunderstood. I had a chemical pregnancy on 3rd January (and got a negative pregnancy test the same day) and bled until 10th January.
My cycle then continues as normal and I had a positive ovulation test on 17th January. However, from 2 days after ovulation I have been having bloody discharge which has been going on for the past five days. Has anyone else experienced the same?

@TTCBabyG I understood 😊 I was the same with my chemicals but had spotting in discharge near ovulation where I don’t usually. It only happened after my CPs so I put it down to that. I’m now 9 weeks pregnant so it didn’t affect things.

allgoodthings84 · 23/01/2023 13:23

@TTCBabyG as in I had it the cycles after my CPs

TTCfirst1 · 23/01/2023 17:35

Thanks @allgoodthings84 😊

Hi ladies! How are you all getting on with your post-chemical pregnancies? Really hoping for some encouraging positive stories 🥺 lots of love xxx

Hi @Highvibebee I have just seen your message- I had a chemical pregnancy on 3rd January at 5 weeks pregnant (and got a negative pregnancy test the same day) and bled until 10th January.
My cycle then continued as normal and I had a positive ovulation test on 17th January. However, from 2 days after ovulation I had EWCM with streaks of blood and then brown when I wiped from 21st-28th January- everywhere I read said that was far too long for implantation bleeding (please note I do have endometriosis so it could be something to do with that) However on the 1st February I received a positive pregnancy test. I’m now currently 32 weeks pregnant. So it’s possible to fall straight away after a CP- and not everybody’s signs and symptoms are the same. Good luck on your journey!

38 TTC no2 , have a 4yo DD , MMC in April , chemical last month . 11dpo stark negative and zero symptoms , tracked ovulation with OpK and temp Dtd plenty and it’s just not happening this time for us . Hard to believe we got pregnant 1st time with DD and the MMC

@Highvibebee also only just seen your message, but some more positive news - after two chemicals (December and January) I got my bfp in Feb and I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant! Chemicals are so common, they aren't a sign of infertility xx
