Chemical pregnancy?

I had 3 positive tests 8 days before my period was due including a clear blue which said 1-2 weeks.
Then I started bleeding 1 day before period was due and have bled like a normal period for 3 days.
I have taken more tests which are still showing very strong positive. I assume I've had a chemical pregnancy but how long does it take for tests to return to normal and should they get fainter? I will attach photo of tests - 1 every day since bleeding started. Thanks! X

Hi

With my chemical miscarriages, the hcg has dropped and the tests have faded before my bleeding started. Have you got in touch with your GP or EPU yet? xx

Thanks for your reply! My GP didn't want to know at all. Basically said miscarriage is really common and get on with trying again - very unhelpful. Its been two weeks since bleeding began and still positive tests. I'm waiting for the GP to call back and I'm going to ask for a scan just in case it's ectopic or if the pregnancy is still viable I'd like to know! X

In my experience, my GP has not been great either. Could you ask them to just refer you to EPU? If they are still positive after 2 weeks then hopefully that means you are still pregnant. With both my chemicals, the pregnancy tests have turned negative very quickly, and within a week x
