Question

Chemical pregnancy?

I rarely get periods, usually once every couple of months. On January 8th, I started suspecting I was pregnant. I experienced what I assumed was implantation, I had sharp pains and pink/brown spotting. I took a pregnancy test on the 9th, and it turned positive after the time limit. I took another one, same thing, and then 5 days ago I took a FRER, negative at first, but then turned faintly positive. DH is able to see all of the lines as well, but they are all faint.
My understanding is that evaporation lines are not that common, And I feel like to get 3 on two different brands of tests, is a little bit odd.
Yesterday, I started getting a bloody discharge when I wipe. It is red blood, but it's mixed with a clear discharge, I have some mild abdominal cramps, not bad though. I've had a miscarriage before, and I had severe abdominal pain and cramping.
I'm so confused and I'm wondering if this sounds like a chemical pregnancy?

Also, since I don't have regular periods, I have no clue how many DPO I would be. The last time I had bleeding/ spotting was December 15th. (It's never heavy enough even for a panty liner).

It could have been just a fluke, or it could be a chemical pregnancy. I got very faint positives with my chemical, but turned darker on the day I was supposed to have my period. Unfortunately, my hcg levels never got very high, and I lost the pregnancy a week after I first got a positive test. If I didn't know the date of my ovulation, I would never have known my period was late because my cycles vary from 32-34 days, but i ovulated very early this past month due to clomid.

You get evaps on all brands. always disregard the result after the prescribed time. if you implanted on the 9ths youd know about it by now! Doesnt sound like a chemical either to be honest just misreading tests
