I'm going out of my mind a little! I got a bfp on a frer at 10dpo with lines getting slightly stronger between then and 15dpo when the line seemed a bit lighter.

I also got a digital pregnant 1-2 on 12dpo (1st day of missed period). I'm now 16dpo and the line is a lot fainter and digi is saying not pregnant.

I've not had any bleeding yet. Should I assume this is a chemical and expect it?

I tested this morning hoping everything is fine but I think I know where this is going 😞💔

Sorry you're going through this. I had the same experience and yes it was a chemical unfortunately. I started bleeding the day after the not pregnant test showed.

I wouldn't totally rule yourself out yet but it's stressful being in limbo.

I'm so sorry you went through that @shakeitoffsis ! You're right, the limbo part is horrible! Knowing that I'm just waiting to bleed! My symptoms have disappeared today too so I guess that's me out!

I get really upset at the thought of going through the whole ttc thing again too & all of the waiting. ☹️

Remember it isn't over till the fat lady sings.

Incidentally I got pregnant the following month with no period inbetween and am currently feeding my 7 month old daughter.

Oh wow that's amazing @shakeitoffsis ! How are you supposed to tell when you ovulate if you don't bleed? Were you tracking that?

I just used the cheap ovulation sticks twice a day to check for ovulation I never had regular periods as I took cerezette. Stopped the pill in Nov and had chemical 9th dec and positive test again 13th Jan with my daughter. Good luck!

Sorry you’re going through this, currently in the same situation myself but no bleeding. It’s now 6 weeks since my last period and a week since I got a negative result and still waiting for AF to show up. Such a mind f*ck, GP says just to wait it out but I just want to know what’s going on and move on.
Just a hand hold really as someone going through the same 💗

hannahburch · 15/04/2023 10:59

So sorry to hear you're going through the same @Katiex84x ! Annoying that you're told just to wait! Maybe you won't have a period like @shakeitoffsis ? Do you track your ovulation? Being in limbo is the absolute worst!

@shakeitoffsis thanks for sharing! Congrats on your little one I hope you're both doing well! ❤️

@shakeitoffsis did you have no bleeding after the chemical? Amazing news that you got you BFP next cycle x

Katiex84x · 15/04/2023 11:02

Sorry just seen you said you bled after 💗

Katiex84x · 15/04/2023 11:04

@hannahburch Yes I track ovulation and will start tracking again soon I think. Just blows my mind that some people don’t actually bleed afterwards, surely something has got to come out? 🙈 it’s just the not knowing isn’t it and being in limbo. I’ve had mild af type cramps for a week but nothing is happening x

hannahburch · 15/04/2023 11:07

@Katiex84x yep blows my mind too! I had some mucas and literally a tiny spot of blood this morning but that's it?

Time seems to stand still when you just want something to happen doesn't it!

@hannahburch yep it does and there’s literally no information about not bleeding online. I have normal clear mucus not even a speck of anything. EPU said some people just don’t bleed although it’s unusual. GP said some people just have their normal period 4 weeks later. I’ll start OPKs soon and see if anything is happening x

shakeitoffsis · 15/04/2023 12:00

Yes i just got told to wait too, it's really frustrating. I just lightly spotted, nothing heavy at all. If I hadn't of tested I probably wouldn't have known I was pregnant.
