Chemical Pregnancy Questions

My BFP yesterday turned into a chemical pregnancy (waiting for blood test to confirm but my OB felt it probably was) and I have a few questions:
- How long do you bleed for?
- How long until the PG tests show up BFN (the line seemed a little fainter today)?
- How long before you get AF? I'm wondering how I'll know it's AF and not related to the miscarriage.
TIA

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

I bled for a few days, just like a period. I got another period 28 days later. I didn't take anymore pregnancy tests, so I can't answer that.

Sorry for your loss.

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

I am clueless to this....

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

I bled a couple days longer than my normal period. It was heavier which I didn't think it was possible.

I also didn't take add'l PG tests.

AF came my normal time - usual 31 day cycle.

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

Thanks everyone. Maybe I should stop taking PG tests because I'm making myself crazy. The line was lighter yesterday but significantly darker today. My temp was up quite a bit today too. I'm still bleeding though so I don't want to give myself false hope but I'm so confused. Still waiting for OB to call back with blood test results...

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

first.. i am so sorry you are going through this

i just had a chemical a month ago.. i bled right away for 2 days.. but it wasnt that much actually.. its like a normal AF.. thats why they say people dont even realize they are PG unless they take a test early..

so i just kept getting the Beta's checked every other day pretty much to make sure it went down to zero.. and i finally got AF back 6 weeks later

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

i bled just like it was my period. I had no cramping. I never got my period b/c I was pregnant again that month. I ovulated on day 17 which was normal.

Re: Chemical Pregnancy Questions

I am so sorry
i am not sure if my first m/c was a chemical or not but at 6weeks I started bleeding and it was just like AF -- my numbers went from 53 to 15 in 2 days and i never tested again after that
I got AF 4 weeks later and had a normal cycle after that

again i'm so sorry
