Period was due 1st march, test attached is from 4th march, line this morning much fainter. Still have nausea but also had a major migraine last night and still have a bit of a headache today. Still no bleeding.

for those who experienced chemical pregnancy, how long until the bleeding starts?

In my experience when I had a chemical pregnancy with faint tests I had to wait almost two weeks for bleeding to start and my tests were still faint after my period. From my research that was an unusually long time though.

I've just had a chemical pregnancy/early miscarriage. I had very similar pale lines that didn't get any darker. Bleeding started 5 days after first positive test.
Even though it's an early loss, still very painful

Thanks both and I’m really sorry you’ve gone through similar.

Had light bleeding yesterday and much heavier today, feel wiped out. Not a nice experience but I think part of me is comparing to my MMC and partly relieved it’s not that kind of experience again, although also sad things haven’t progressed. Friday I was a bit all over the place with things so told work I had a migraine so I could just have a day to process a bit. Might try and avoid testing too soon after missed period next month.
