Help - chemical? Whether to start cyclogest or hold off?

This is first cycle ttc again after a really sad MMC in December at 15 weeks. I’m going slightly mad here and hope you can offer some wisdom.

My last cycle was 32 days. I’m currently on CD 30 and I’ve been POAS for about a week 😂 because my boobs have just felt pregnant and I’m constipated, my telltale signs. I also had some very slight spotting on cd 24-25.

Ive just had this line on a boots early response test. Not FMU, it was a hold of max 2 hours. I had what I thought was an evap line on a standard cheapy yesterday, so went out and bought this after the school run.

We DTD on cd 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. I don’t track ovulation but going on ewcm it was somewhere between 14-18. (We had family staying on those days and didn’t manage to dtd)

What do you guys think - it has to be a chemical right? Usually when I get pregnant I can get a line on about cd 27. Even if I ov’d on day 18 it seems a bit of a stretch?

So my question is about cyclogest - I’ve got a box of it ready to take from the recurrent miscarriage clinic, they said to take it from BFP (and get myself to EPU for an early scan to ensure not ectopic etc). But if this is a chemical, I don’t want to prolong it… what would you do? Equally if there’s a chance I want to give it a good chance 🙏🏻

I’ve got another test I can do tomorrow first thing to see if it gets darker.

Thank you

Why do you think it’s a chemical? It can take anywhere from 6-12 days DPO for implantation to occur and then a few days for hcg to rise enough for a test. Just because you have previously got a positive on cd 27 doesn’t mean it will be the same each time. That line looks completely normal, nothing you have said suggests it’s a chemical at all

Thanks for replying. I’m prob being over cautious as to not get hopes up after my recent losses. I just read a lot of people getting positives 10, 11 dpo and thought this seemed realistically too long to be good news. But will keep optimistic.

it very common for people to test early and get early positives to then go on and have chemicals. Taking longer to get a positive as far as I know has no relevance to it being a chemical. For the time being you are pregnant and I would start on any treatment you have been recommended
