Chemical pregnancy...I don't get it! Please help and advice
hello,
ive posted a couple of times about this but I'm starting to get really stressed.
my last period was the 26th may! I do have long cycles but got very excited this month when AF never came. Two days after AF was due to arrive I got a faint positive test. Then negative since.
GP said it's likely to be a chemical pregnancy. I'm now 10days late still having negative tests, cramping every day, bloated and feeling queezy.
This has never happened to me before, I just want to bleed and be done with it. How long does it usually take? And what will happen to my cycle after it?

That sounds very stressful. Usually with a chemical you bleed around when ad is due. Maybe ask your doc for some blood tests Xx
With mine it has taken a very long time before I bleed, usually when my next af is due or a bit before
With mine I bled the day after test turned negative. The hospital had told me to expect to start bleeding within days. had said if it didn't happen to call them. I think you should go back to your doctor or go to the hospital. I'm very sorry this has happened to you
Thanks for your comments and advice. Still no AF but still BFN. Oddly last week i had a very positive OPK, I wonder if my body has just skipped a head slightly and bypassed my monthly visit. I have no really clue what has happened, cramping has all subsided so I'm just taking it all as it comes.
You poor thing, I hope something happens one way or another for you soon. Its horrible been in limbo
Little update for you all. Cramping again so took a first response!
OMG, wow, that's brilliant. Big congrats to you xx
I think I have just had a chemical pregnancy too. I had a faint but there positive pregnancy test on Saturday morning, then another on Monday although it hadn't got any darker. On Wednesday morning I did a clear blue digi which came up not pregnant. Shortly afterwards I started to really cramp and bleed and still the same now. Hoping it will just last the same as a normal period?
I had completely skipped my period by the Wednesday when I started to bleed so I think some people may just start to bleed later than others after a chemical preg. From what I've read some people test early get a faint positive and then come on when they were due af anyway. Whereas I was a whole week late got a faint and then bled!
Feeling very disappointed and sad 😔 I lost my first baby at 16 weeks which was heartbreaking and then had my gorgeous little girl. Was so excited to think we were going to give her a sibling then to have it taken away is a bit shitty!
hope you are okay xx
Just seen the above properly! Fab that your test is positive- also quite a strong line!!- maybe try a digi in a few days to put your mind at ease 😊
Oh MrsAsh, sorry to hear that, hope you are ok
Sorry to hear that MrsAsh. Sending lots of love. I had another test at the GP today slightly darker so feeling hopeful.
So pleased for you, sounds like it's moving in the right direction 😊
I took two pregnancy tests at home on Wednesday July 27th,and both had a faint line indicating they were positive. To be sure I took another test on Thursday July 28th,same result. I was so I was pregnant I felt so different. Then Friday the 29th I was supposed to receive my period and it never came. So again,i was so certain. I started getting stomach pains but I thought it was normal. Saturday the 30th I went to the e.r because the pains were so crucial. They told me I wasn't and never were pregnant. How can that be? I just don't understand how three positives turned into nothing. I am now having a period and waiting for my significant other to come with another test to see if it's possible to have another positive,and I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Can anyone give me any advice?
I would say that if the hospitals test came up negative and you are now bleeding that you have had a chemical pregnancy. Take another home preg test to see if the hcg has gone away now you have started to bleed.
I am coming to the end of my bleeding now and hpt is negative, so it definitely didn't stick for me
So sorry to you! It's really disheartening thinking you have done it and then having it taken away! X
