How can you tell if it's a chemical?

[twixi]

Hi I'm beginning to suspect I'm having a chemical, I haven't had this before, so wondering how you knew?
I'm 13 dpo today and had a pretty dark first response yesterday, but the cheaper tests I have been doing in the morning seem to be getting paler.
I'm also still spotting, mainly brown but a little red again, this has been happening since 7dpo.
I was so happy to see a bfp again after MMC in may, now I feel hopeless already, this is so effin hard!!! Xx

I had a chemical in may what happened was I tested before I was due af and got 2 bfp on a frer n digi I tested 2 days after af was due and they were both bfn really feel for you hunny it's so cruel when is af due? Xxxx

With my chemical I got my bfp before AF was due the tests got lighter until they went to negative and af arrived the day when due xx

With my chemical, af was late and I got a bfp a few days after af was due. A few days later, I got a bfn. My period didn't return until the next month. (I wasn't ttc at this stage either) x

Thank you girls, af was due on sat as I have a short luteal phase ten days max nowadays. Im still getting good positives just I won't stop bleeding! It's been a week now. I know I just need to be patient and wait but how on earth do you do that? I'm kind of loathe to get bloods done as they rose very well with my MMC and that still went wrong. Argh more waiting and seeing ahead! Xx

These are my 12 and 13 dpo frer. I reckon today's is slightly darker? Both done with SMU.
My cheaper ones are paler though, this is turning me into a mad woman lol
I so hope I have a chance, thankyou for listening xx

They are excellent lines. It might be worth phoning epu and asking for their advice x

Looking good, fingers crossed. Phone epu x

Thank you, I have the doc on thurs so I may wait until then, as if they ask me to go for bloods I have no one to watch kids, and as my son is older I don't want him to know about it because he was upset when I mc, if the schools were back I defo would! More googling ahead, never puts my mind at rest though! Xx

I agree with others that your lines are very dark (which is a very good thing).

Alot of women suffer implantation bleeding around the time of af.
I was told by the hospital last month that if its not heavy then just rest.
If your worried call the epu or midwife for advice.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

 

[twixi]

Thankyou mel. I spotted every week with my last pregnancy eventually finding out baby died a few weeks before, it's exhausting thinking about it all the time. Really hope it gets better soon xx

 

[MelC2011]

Oh you poor thing.
This ttc/pregnancy lark sure is difficult.
Will defo be stalking your progress.

I'm planning on testing tomorrow so save me a seat xx

 

[twixi]

It certainly is, my first pregnancy I had no worries or bleeding, my daughter I had a small imp bleed then a couple of other ones, now I'm in my thirties it seems to be getting harder to get past the first couple of months
Must be ageing! Xx

 

[twixi]

I called epu and the midwife says it sounds like another mc :-\
She says wait a week after bleeding stops then do another hpt and that's it really! What a horrid limbo xx

 

[Dee28]

So sorry twixi, I will be hoping that isn't the case, such good lines would suggest a lovely implanted little bean so everything crossed for you xx

 

[Daley]

Sorry to hear this Hun, thinking of you x

 

[MelC2011]

Really sorry to hear this.
Praying the bleeding stops for you and it's just late implatation.

Try to stay positive.
Sending lots of hugs xx

 

[twixi]

I'm kind of thinking the worst part of the bleeding was 7-8dpo, then positive test at 11dpo, would there be time for it to implant, bleed, give a good positives then mc all before 13dpo? Maybe I'm just wishful thinking now? Xx

 

[Natalilly1288]

Your lines are lovely and dark mine were def not that dark hunny I would def go to doctors tho it must be a very worrying time 4 you I no exactly how you feel Hun after you have had a mc it's so worrying when you get pg again try and relax I'm keeping everything crossed for you xxxxxxx
