My "friend" the chemical pregnancy?? thoughts please

[Lara_M]

Hi guys

Hope you don't mind me posting in this area. As some of you will remember it took me 4 years to fall pregnant and carry a healthy pregnancy to term having had 3 miscarriages and a couple of chemical pregnancies. I wanted your input as you guys are obviously a lot more technical and scientific because we've learnt the hard way what everything means....more so than perhaps the girlies in the other chat areas...

Well I sorted my hormones out enough to have a baby and he is 9 months old.

I now chart my temperature as a method to not get pregnant as I do not want the artificial hormones in my body from the pill. I'd like another baby but I had serious abdominal muscle separation after having Sam and was advised not to get pregnant for at least a year.

Anyway, my temperatures through me off this month. I thought I ovulated at 14 dpo. Temperatures rose, but not as much as usual. Then crashed for two days at approx. 7 dpo, so I assumed I actually hadn't ovulated.

However, the temp then went back up but not as high as normal. All my old urges to do a pregnancy test set it as ovulation tests were coming out darker than normal at a weird time (although not darker than the other line)

Yesterday, negative pregnancy test on a first response. Fine.

This morning, faintest faintest line. Im not even sure if its a real line.

However, ovulation tests now faint again which has further confused me.

Do you think we are dealing with a chemical pregnancy?

If its not a chemical then really I should be back on aspirin again and possibly progesterone pessaries. But don't want to do this unless I am definitely pregnant.

Pic posted. 10/11 DPO Squint and you would miss it and it took a good 8 minutes or so to come up.

OR - is this an evap? I've never experienced an evap on a first response, has anyone????

Thats not an evap ... and to me it looks a very very good line for 10/11dpo i would defo say you are indeed pregnant xx

Thanks Jodie, indeed I have never known an evap on a FRER however this took at least 8 mins to come up.
So I am wondering whether I may have a chemical pregnancy due to the lower than normal temps?
I know I wont really know for another couple of days when I test again.

Clear Blue digi still says not pregnant you see, but not sure how sensitive they are? x

I think its a positive...i would use only frer or superdrug before a missed af date. So would expect a negative on clear blue at this stage.

Congrats..fx line gets stronger amd its sticky

You guys wouldn't be suspicious of the strange temps?

 

[Dee28]

That looks positive to me, I didn't have to squint at all. I don't temp so can't comment but I'm sure they're are other factors that might make your temps squiffy this month xx

Don't look like an evap to me. Your drop in temperature might have been an implantation dip maybe?

Good luck!

xx

I would say the temp dip could be down to implantation ... and a clear blue digi isnt as sensitive as a frer i would say use a digi about a week after a missed af ... i think it says disregard results after 10mins on a frer so its still within the time limit plus the result may have taken a little longer to show as your hcg will only just be in yoir system xx
