Help is this a chemical?

I'm so upset. Got my period on time 10dpo. Usual 4 days. The day it ended I was feeling odd so I took a pregnancy test frer, couldn't believe that it came back positive, not as strong as the control line but very clear. Next morning took a digital and it said pregnant 1-2 weeks. I'm obviously having a chemical aren't I? So upset.

It could have been implantation bleeding? Was it any different from your usual period bleeding?

Hi OP, I've had 2 chemicals and both times i tested strong positives which progressively reduced over the course of a week or so and then tested negative before bleeding started. What you've experienced doesn't sound like the chemicals I've experienced.
It sounds like you are pregnant, so congrats! Implantation can cause bleeding, maybe check this out with your GP xx

Thanks so much for your message. The bleeding started the day my af was due and lasted exactly the same time and was heavy though. Lasted 4 days. Then on the last day I tested positive. Digital said 1-2 weeks

When I had DC1 I started bleeding day after AF was due but I had a positive the day before and again the day after. The bleeding was a lot less than normal though but lasted for 4 to 5 days. Doc sent me for a blood test 48 hours apart to check hormone was rising etc. Had a healthy to term pregnancy. Maybe give docs a call in the morning

I was the same as you I felt different even after the bleeding started to tested again x

Update: I had bloods done yesterday. Before the bloods, the clear blue test seemed faint. Took another clear blue today and it was a good bit darker. Bloods came back today and doctor said they were low 55. Very disappointed and have to get bloods again tomorrow to see if they rise. I'm prepared for the worst.

Just to say, clear blue digital counts pregnancy weeks from the time of conception, not last period x

Thanks a mil for the reply. Yeah I'm fairly sure the digital is accurate but I'm guessing 55 hcg is quite low. If my ovulation date is correct and I used opk's , I ovulated around 16 days ago.

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 was your hcg low on your initial blood tests?

OP posts:

They did say that it was. They just said about the increase between blood test 1 and 2

I'm thinking 55 is just to low coupled with the period I got before my positve test

Sorry I ment to say they didn't say that it was. I had first bloods done on the Friday and then second on the Monday due to the weekend. I only got a call after the Monday test saying all looked ok.

Thanks, tomorrow will tell all I guess. I noticed I've just started to get brown stringy discharge as well. Hopefully if it is bad which I'm sure it is....it will be confirmed quickly.
