Heartburn and short period

So, I had a week of + opks and then a raise in bbt for three days after.
A few days before af was due, my opks were still almost positive which they aren't usually before my period. I started spotting on Tuesday, it got a little heavier (used a tampon) and by Wednesday afternoon, it was gone. I did an opk this afternoon, and it wasn't positive but still quite visible. I tested on Monday and thought I saw a vfl but assumed it was an indent due to bleeding the next morning. My period literally lasted less than 48 hours?🤷🏼‍♀️I have also had really bad heartburn all afternoon, despite eating less shitty food today than the rest of the week (I've been on holiday (Sunday-Sunday). I've taken 4 gaviscon tablets and it still hurts!
I'm so confused as to what's going on. Has anyone got any tips to stop heartburn?
First pic was the week of + opks
Second is the day before af and this afternoon x

@CAGH03 I do see a tiny whisper of a line on last weeks test. Maybe you should do another test just to rule it out as it was a week ago since that one and you never know. Unfortunately I had a similar experience last cycle and it was a chemical for me (only bled for 2.5 days after a positive) my LH was really high the next day which I found so strange but my hcg was negative. I hope this isn't the same for you but I think the only way to know is to do another test. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

It's just so confusing! I had a chemical (I think) in February. Was definitely a vvfl then started bleeding an hour later. I think I may just wait until af is due at the end of the month x

Similar to PP I had a chemical last month and had about 2.5 days bleeding and had heartburn badly along with some nausea.

Hope it is different for you, definitely test again to see.

I'm going to wait until the end of the month and see if I've ovulated. Don't wanna keep getting my hopes up x
