Positive FRER negative CB digi AF late, advise please?

[Carysmatic]

Hey so yesterday I took a FRER test which came back with a faint but clear line, I'm 19 DPO today (I got a positive OPK, so def know when I ovulated) my cycles are like clockwork at 27-28days and I am now CD 31 so I'm around 3/4days late. I've been getting a lot of milky white, creamy CM but no spotting, I've also been experiencing a constant low level of nausea and bloating. I took a CB digi just now and has come back at "Not Pregnant" it wasn't FMU and I was only able to hold my wee for 2 hours not 4. Has anyone had anything similar and gone on to be pregnant or does this sound like it could be a chemical? Or perhaps the HCG just isn't high enough in my system yet as the FRER done yesterday with FMU was very faint? Help?

@Carysmatic Hiya! FRER is more sensitive than CB, just give it a couple of days and test with a FRER again.
Have you got a picture of the FRER? My first one was so faint, DH said he didnt believe that a line so light could be positive!

Oh hey @MrsC89 how are you getting on? Yeah I've got a picture of the FRER, I took two tests and they both came back the same

Sorry forgot to attach the picture

@Carysmatic I'm getting on ok thanks 6+6 today.
They are 100% positive!
Dont worry yourself that the CB digi didnt show up, give yourself a couple of days and test with a FRER again, you should see line progression then.
I went and got all excited and tested with another FRER the following day and it hadn't really got any darker so tested again 4 days after the initial BFP and it was darker, and showing on IC's as well.

I tried IC but they weren't showing up anything. I've just started spotting, not a lot of blood, brownish mixed with clear CM, but quite a bit of cramping. Just really concerned that this is a chemical 😔

@Carysmatic any chance you didnt ovulate when you got the positive opk, and your body tried again later? The increase in the hormone tells your body to ovulate, but it's not always successful. That could be why the FRER is not too dark, then this could be the end of implantation? Is it red blood?

No not red, it's more brownish like old blood rather than pinky red you'd expect with implantation 😔

Like 99.9% sure I'm experiencing a chemical pregnancy
