What is going on with me??

Hoping for a bit of collective wisdom! Started a thread a few days ago but increasingly confused...

DH and I have been TTC for the last 2 months and I've been tracking with Flo. Only came off the pill about 8-10 weeks ago, had a withdrawal bleed then one period and Flo estimated my cycle length as 25 days (but obviously not based on much data).

On Tuesday this week I got a very faint positive on a pregnancy test (Alvita brand?) which became slightly stronger the following morning, followed by 'Pregnant' on a Clearblue digital that afternoon. In the evening I had v v v faint pink discharge and some v mild cramps.

Yesterday morning I had only a faint positive on a FRER and Not Pregnant on digital with weeks indicator, plus one wipe of pink discharge. For the rest of the day no further pink discharge, no cramps.

This morning same again - faint line on FRER, faint line on Amazon strip, one pink wipe then no further bleeding. Also did an ovulation test just out of interest which has a clear line.

Am attaching some pics - the top FRER is yesterday and bottom is today, plus the strip tests. Obviously they've dried but all came up within window.

Obviously I don't think this is a viable pregnancy as no line development, but is it likely to be chemical? Should I expect bleeding to start properly? I guess in the back of my mind there is a slight anxiety about ectopic, though I don't have any pain at all. Don't know if it would be worth contacting GP or just letting it play out - pregnancy (if it were viable) would be only about 4weeks 2days...

Help!

I would contact the GP as this could be an ectopic pregnancy. Usually with a chemical you still get your period when you would have had it anyway or ectopic you don't, but you can't be sure when that will be/would have been.

That said, you might be very very early and these faint lines with variance mean nothing more than how hydrated you are. It could all be fine. But a blood test won't hurt and I think better safe than sorry.

Thanks so much for replying. I've done an enquiry form at the GP (they're pretty efficient and usually contact you/offer an appt the same day). There is definitely a nagging worry about ectopic.

Been to GP - she did a pregnancy test which was negative and took blood to test for pregnancy hormone. I am having pain on one side of my pelvis, which I told her, but she didn't seem that worried - she just said I could go to A&E if it got worse. To be honest she didn't seem to believe I had ever been pregnant at all, though I've had positives on loads of at home tests! I've just come home and done my last test - ClearBlue digital which says Pregnant.

So confused...

They look like evaps tbf, i wouldn't worry.

Ectopics can still produce strong positives

I'm not convinced they're evaps as I've also had positives (today) on two digitals! But currently waiting in A&E for suspected ectopic.

Oh I see, in which case good luck.

Hopefully they don't identify anything serious or are able to provide swift treatment.

Good luck keep us updated!

They couldn't see anything in A&E but said to come back in 2 days for another blood test - most likely a chemical at this stage.
