Looking for clues of chemical..

Here is my post from the TTC board.
Does anyone know if there any signs that i may be having a chemical pregnancy?:::

So what i believe to have been implantation bleeding is now over.
Yesterday afternoon i definitely had a second faint line on FRER.
Last night i tried one of my generic wondfos and it came back negative.
This morning i took another FRER and it came back negative. (I did get up to pee at about 1am..and then tested around 5am..so not sure if that makes a difference.)

Anyway, now i'm thinking this is a chemical.
Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Just confused because i thought false positives were very rare on a FRER. That's why i splurged on them.

This whole process is taking years off my life. Plus i have one of the worst colds ever, which is not helping my mood.

Re: Looking for clues of chemical..

Around Easter I had a strange experience.

I had some spotting around the time AF was due and I missed my period. The only time I've had spotting was when I was pregnant so I thought I was. I also had really bad cramping prior to AF being due which is another thing I've only experienced with pregnancy.

I was testing and everything was coming up BFN. Then I decided to take a digital and that came up BFP. Because of my previous loss I called my doctor the next morning figuring I was pregnant and had an HCG/Beta but that came back negative! The doctor had no idea what was going on. Two days after that my period started.

I still have no idea what happened. False positivse are very rare so it could have been a chemical but I did see some complaints about CBE Digitals giving false results as well so it could have just been a late period and bad test. I'll never know for sure.

If you are that concerned call your doctor and schedule a Beta, that will give you more answers.

I know how ttc again after a loss is very stressful

Re: Looking for clues of chemical..

thanks for your response.

I think since i have one more frer test, i will wait and test again later today.

I did read some comforting things on peeonastick.com. It said that you really should wait 2 days after implantation bleeding to test. It also said that sometimes in a box of 3 FRER some are actually more sensitive than others..that does seem crazy to me, but i'm trying to be a little positive for now. I do have a lot of preggo symptons as well.
UGH. After everything i went through why can't this just be a little easier.

Awww sweets!! I'm thinking about you and praying for you!!

Re: Looking for clues of chemical..

thanks stacey.

Now i think AF is on her way. I think i must have gotten a faulty test yesterday. This stinks, now i'm depressed all over again..it's even worse after getting a bfp. I am about to cry..

Re: Looking for clues of chemical..

When I had my chemical the bfp went away pretty quick. I tested on sat and had a faint bfp, tested sunday and had another faint line, on Monday it was even fainter, Tuesday bfn and wed af came. Pregnancy was confirmed through beta. I am so sorry. This whole process is a roller coaster.

Re: Looking for clues of chemical..

I'm sorry you're going through this. Just so you know, I got a false positive with an FRER last week, and it wasn't a chemical. It was a fluke I guess. But when I researched it online, it seemed more common than I thought it was.

Hoping you get some good news still!

Re: Looking for clues of chemical..

I am so sorry you are going through this. I can relate somewhat to how you are feeling. I desperately want to give my DS a sibling too, and I hoped they would be close in age. We have been trying for a while and I just had a chemical last month. It is so devastating. I hope you start to feel better soon, and that we are all pg soon.

I'm so sorry
