Heavy bleeding but positive tests

I had a faint positive on an early detection test on Wednesday, and then again on Thursday, but then later in the morning on Thursday I started to bleed. I have continued to bleed since then and it has been heavy with clots, so I thought I must be having a chemical pregnancy. However, despite the bleeding, I have continued to test positive yesterday and today and the lines are getting darker. Has anyone else experienced heavy bleeding like this around the time of implantation and still had a viable pregnancy? I've started to worry about an ectopic pregnancy too with my test lines growing darker. I can't see a doctor yet with it being the weekend but just wanted to hear others' experiences. Just feeling rubbish and really worried 😞

It took me a week to test negative after I started bleeding x

How long did you bleed for if you don't mind me asking? It seems to have stopped now but I thought I'd be bleeding for longer x

I think it was about six days - a couple of days of brown discharge type bleeding and then about four days of heavier period type blood. X

I had this and unfortunately was an ectopic pregnancy. I would urge you to get seen by your EPU for blood tests just to be on the safe side x
