Chemical pregnancy or implantation bleeding?

Hi all,I wonder if you can help.

husband and I have been TTC for just under one year. This week my period was late, so we decided to test.

4 days ago I took 2 sure sign pregnancy tests and they were negative.

the next day my period hadn’t arrived, so we did a clear blue rapid test, and it came back positive it was faint, but very clear and not the faintest either.

we then repeated tests every morning, for the last 2 days. I am still getting positives but faint, on a clear and simple test and another sure sign test. Then this morning. With second morning urine I did a clear blue digital test, and it came out as pregnant 1-2 weeks.

2 hours later, I felt a little wet and checked to see a bit of pink / brown discharge. It continued for about 10 mins and there were little bright red spots.

I have since put on a pad and wiped with tissue and it stopped but now can see a tiny brown like residue. It’s not constant and not heavy.

given the tests are faint, am I having a chemical pregnancy? :(

So sorry you are having this worry Flowers

It’s just a case of ‘wait and see’ I’m afraid, and the waiting is torture, but plenty of women have bleeding and go on to have healthy pregnancies, so hang on in there.

Thank you so much! Update, this morning woke up to no blood on the pad. Only some speckles of dry blood when wiping , and it’s a browny speckles

I had implantation bleeding with 2 of my pregnancies and each of them had different outcomes. One is currently lying napping beside me 😊👶 As pp said, it's unfortunately a case of wait and see. Brown blood is old blood which is good! I hope you get a positive outcome 🤞🤞 good luck!
