Late bfp after midcycle bleed?

Hi all.

This is my first time posting so please bare with me if its a bit of a long one. We had a miscarriage back in april at 10 weeks and have been trying since with no luck. I was using ovulation sticks. I got a bfp last month but it never got darker and never got a positive on a CB digi and about 4 days later i started bleeding (I assume chemical pregnancy) So i started bleeding on 18/08/18 it lasted like a normal period and i had a negative test after. Then on the 5th (Which according to the app i use to keep track of my periods is a day i would usually ovulate) i started spotting. This was barely anything never went onto underwear and only occasionaly when i wiped and lasted 4-5 days. i thought maybe ovulation spotting?

I was due my period on the 19/09/18 and it came and went along with bfns for the next couple days. so i gave up testing as i thought maybe the spotting was an extremely light period after the chemical? So i went to poundland on the 26/09/18 and bought some cheap tests as i hadnt started yet and got a really faint bfp. Confirmed the next day 27/09/18 with a fairly dark line on a first response and a ''pregnant' 1-2 weeks on CB digi. Which i never got before. So now im confused.. Do i take it from my last actual period which would make me 6 weeks so surely should be getting 3+ weeks on CB digi or do i take it as the spotting was a period and i got an early bfp at 3 weeks? or maybe somewhere in between but what was the spotting? Anyone had a similar situation?

I'd go with 6 weeks as the spotting was not enough for a period. As for the cb digi they are a guideline at best not a definitive test.

Sorry for you loss. I had a miscarriage last year at 12 weeks and am now 32 weeks pregnant, also had spotting between 3 and 4 weeks and a bleed at 7 weeks but baby hung in there.
