I think I have had a chemical pregnancy - when can I try again?

Essentially, as above.

DTD over ovulation May ‘25 - several faint positive tests following this - started spotting June 2nd - then a little heavier, no clots or bleeding. Lighter than period flow. Faint positive 7th June on day original period was due.

Retested tonight (1 week after period was due) and stark negative. I am still quite crampy, foul taste in mouth etc.

Assuming its been a chemical as I just cannot believe my test would be that negative at five weeks if pregnancy. Not sure whats happened to my usual period though?

On my app if I chart that the beginning of my period - I would be fertile this week should I just start BD-ing now in a hope to catch another ovulation?

I would push for a scan and bloods on Friday either way. Just to be 100% sure.

just spoke to a colleague who had similar
she had an anembeyonic pregnancy which passed
at 5 weeks and she didnt know about it until 11/12 weeks

she said our local epas did the same to her as they are doing to me and she wished she had pushed for a scan

@sparklestar0 I think you should absolutely push for a scan. Just to be sure.
I'm also going through an anembyronic pregnancy at the moment and I have a follow up scan on Thursday for confirmation.
If they refuse turn up to A&E, be prepared to wait.
