Question

Did I have a chemical pregnancy?

Last cycle I was 8 days late before af finally came. I know when I ovulated and I always star af exactly two weeks from o day. Four days before af was due I had cramping and spotting. Really light. Like, brown cm. It lasted for the afternoon and stopped by the next day. I had thought af was early and for the record I never spot between cycles. This was 11dpo. I believe it was implantation bleeding. Well I tested every few days clear up to 8 days. I never had a positive tho. When my period finally came it was abnormal. Took forever to get going and it was light for me. I never got the throbbing achy feel in my groin I get the first and second day. I think I had a fertilized egg try to implant but my body rejected it. I'm almost positive it was a chemical pregnancy but I just want some second opinions. I'm not upset by it but relieved SOMETHING happened.

not sure but with my CP i was able to get faint positives on pregnancy tests at 9,10,11,12, dpo with no progression, and a day or two before my period was expected, i started bleeding and I lost the pregnancy.

I wouldnt consider it a loss unless I had a positive test to say I was pregnant in the first place. Imo, it sounds like u were low on estrogen in the follicular phase, making ur lining much thinner than ur norm...that would also make af slow to start flowing and less painful. Heavier periods tend to be more painful and have more of a gush.

I think it was a low estrogen cycle too, you could try taking red clover capsules. Chemical pregnancy generally needs to be confirmed with a positive pregnancy test/blood test

With my chemical I got faint positives starting at 10 DPO, but they never got darker and when my temp dropped I knew I was losing it. Period was 2 days late, was heavy and lasted 1 day longer than usual.

I had a chemical 2 month ago. I got hpt positive with faint lane at 15-16 dpo. I went to my doctor to confirm the pregnancy and I had the hcg blood test done. It came back 154( 4 weeks pregnant). So he did an usg and saw just the sack with no embryo. He also said I would start to bleed soon. So it was, 2 hours later It happened. The bleeding was with cramps and heavy flow. It lasted 2 days longer.
