I posted yesterday a BFP at 11/12 DPO - have ongoing metallic taste in my mouth, cramping but still no sign of period
I tested this afternoon (I do drink so much water) and they have been negative
I feel pregnant - dizzy, vomited this morning
and nausea today

Period due 4th

I am at work and gutted its been a chemical
Should I accept I am out or continue to test until my period?
I am driving my husband bonkers

any advice I feel like I am going crazy

Positive or negative?

For context the cramping has been so bad needed paracetamol - this is entirely outwith my usual period cycle. I never usually have symptoms

Try another test without drinking a lot of water and try a different brand too. If after limiting water intake it’s still fainter then it might be a chemical.

but the cramps are not necessarily related - when I got pregnant I had cramps even worse than my period around time my period was due, and some spotting.

with my chemical, the cramping started after I was already spotting/bleeding. So cramps aren’t necessarily a sign.

My instinct would be if it was a chemical I would be bleeding too

With my chemical I started bleeding a full day after negative tests. But cramping only started after bleeding.

people have had so many symptoms either with a healthy pregnancy or chemical so it’s difficult to speculate - you can get cramping and bleeding and still have an implanted egg. And you could have none of that and still be having a chemical which starts later.

the most reliable thing in this case is to trust line progression. Sorry hun, I hope it goes well 🩷

Getting a “not pregnant” on a digital after getting a 1-2 weeks confirmed my chemical for me. I don’t think you can really judge from lines.

I saved my FMU and mixed it with SMU before doing the test, to be double sure I got the best concentration of hormones if they were present.
