Chemical pregnancy?

laymel · June 2015

Anyone have experience with them??? I think I may be going through one. Got a BFP on Monday (actually 4 between Monday and Tuesday). I had saved a digital weeks indicator to take the day AF was expected (today), but it came back with a big fat "not pregnant". I panicked and went and got a FR test and although there is a line, it is SO faint (I don't even think you can see it in the test). I'm devastated

I can't tell you for certain what is going on but digital tests are less sensitive than line tests. I didn't get a positive digital until days after my positive Frer (which was also very faint.) I'm sorry but all you can do is wait a few days and test again. You can also call your doctor and see if they want to do blood work. It could be a chemical or it could just be too early to get a positive digital. Unfortunately, you can't go by my experience because everyone is different. There is definitely a faint line on that Frer. FX for you!

Thanks, hopefully it's just early still. I go for blood work on Monday. Fingers crossed. I just worry that I've never seen a test be that faint before on day of expected period. I do drink ALOT of water (even in the middle of the night) so I'm hoping my urine is just diluted.

It sounds more like it's too early for the digital. If your not Bleeding I would say just relax and test again in the morning. Do you know when you ovulated?

Not bleeding yet is the only thing giving me hope. I didn't chart, but I should have ovulated around may 23rd.

FX crossed for you! I agree with pp's digitalis are less sensitive than dye tests.

So I went through a CP in Late February. I got a faint positive at 10 DPO and by 12 DPO the line had gone away completely. My cycle stared about 5 days later. Id suggest only testing with FMU as its the most concentrated and will give you the best result.

Its possible you are not having a CP, but if you are just remember that 1) its actually a really good sign that you can in fact get pregnant 2) in reality almost 50% of all pregnancy's end in a CP, most people just don't realize they were ever pregnant to begin with because they are not looking out for it and may just think they were a few days late 3) because of the nature of a CP there is no reason to wait to start TTC again right away since your body will take care of it naturally, and lastly 4) its totally OK to feel upset OR feel nothing at all, so don't beat yourself up on how you react to it if that's how it turns out.

Keep us posted and good luck!

Yeah hold off on the digitals another day or so. I'll be thinking of you!

If the line was darker this past week, and now is hardly noticeable, I'd say it is likely a chemical. The only sucky part about these pregnancy tests being able to detect 5/6 days sooner, is that they can lead to a let down if it turns out to miscarry, which you probably wouldn't have known you were pregnant had you not tested.

I had a chemical pregnancy back before I had kids and it was positive for about two days, then negative.
