Question

Miscarriage/chemical pregnancy after late period and BFN?

Hi, I'm new here, been TTC for 2 years. My AF is very regular, always on time or within a day or 2 of expected date. This month, I wasn't paying close attention to my cycle, but on the day I was due, I checked the calendar and realized AF should've arrived. I waited 2 more days and tested, got a BFN. Tested again at 5 days late and BFN again. Had some light pink spotting later that day. The next day, still no AF, until she finally arrived that evening. It was heavy, but it usually is for me. Had a normal flow the next day (yesterday), but this morning I had a HUGE clot. I know clots are normal sometimes, but this was gigantic. I also saw some flakey tissue pieces. I should also note that I usually have some cramps before/during AF, but the only thing I felt this month is some nausea, which I know can be normal, but not typical for me. I guess my question is could it be possible to have a miscarriage or chemical pregnancy w/o a BFP? This cycle has been so confusing. Thx for your help!

no this is hardly possible. a chemical pregnancy means there was implantation and there was hcg produced.
besides, there are no huge clots involved at 4-5 weeks (i had a miscarriage at 5 weeks, it was like a normal period; even at 7 weeks it was a tiny clot i passed).
most probably you had a bit more oestrogen/progesterone this cycle which resulted in a thicker than normal lining.

Thank you...that's what I've been thinking, I've just been so thrown for a loop this cycle because all of this is so unusual for me. I didn't want to run to the doctor looking silly when it's really nothing. Does anyone have any thoughts on the odd cycle though? I've had hemorrhagic ovarian cysts before, but the symptoms where very different. Anyone have experience with that? Could this be related?
