Chemical Pregnancy???

hemical Pregnancy??? or am I losing it?

I just wanted to hear from some women who have had similar experiences.

I did a dollar store test yesterday around mid afternoon after experiencing some pregnancy symptoms over the past few days; "sore boobs, tired, dull HEADACHES, achy all over, peeing more frequently...etc"
IT WAS POSITIVE, FAINT.. BUT MOST CERTAINLY THERE!~ Butttt....

My DH and I have not been using any form of contraceptive for the past 7 months and were in hopes that it would happen on it's own.

I currently have a 3 and a half year old H&H son and have always wanted a second child. However, the last time I actually 'tried' I ended up having a Chemical Pregnancy. All the symptoms, 2 days before AF was due... 6 or more positive tests FRER, CB, all different brands. Within 2 days the lines did not darken and started to get lighter which meant my hormones were dropping instead of rising, sure enough I miscarried.

It was confusing but I did enough research to know how it happens.

Back to the present...
The same thing is happening all over, the line on the dollar store test showed up right away, and was faint but you could see it. I did two more, one being a first response, the other a no name plus sign, both of which were positive but squinters. I waited until this morning and used FMU and the line on the FR was a bit darker than yesterday but nothing near what it was with my son. It's not 6:30pm and I did a dollar store test and can barely see a line. No darker than it was 24 hours or more ago.

I am seriously losing hope, I had a feeling yesterday... after doing the FRER test and not seeing a darker line. Now I am almost positive it's happening again.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS AND WHAT WAS THE RESULT??? IF SO, DID YOU TRY AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND WAS IT SUCCESSFUL?

If you were just seeing faint lines on AM pee, I wouldn't worry about barely seeing anything on PM pee. Are you cramping or bleeding?

I had a chemical last cycle. I got a BFP on a FRER and the next day later for a BFP on a digi (1-2 weeks). 4 days later I took another digi to see the progression, and got "not pregnant". I took a FRER and it was way lighter than it should be. I started bleeding that night.

I wouldn't wouldn't worry about tests being lighter on afternoon pee. Try and wait a day or two and use FMU, and it should be darker! Hope everything goes well and you have a happy, healthy pregnancy

your urine could have just been diluted. I wouldn't worry just yet! good luck! xx

It takes 2-3 days for your hcg to double, so when "checking" the lines you need to be fair and give your body the time to produce more hcg. I would wait another day or two then compare it to the previous tests, if it is darker then you are doing great. Now at the same time you can't always rely on the line to tell you your pregnancy level. Can you call your dr and get blood work done? They should do that for you to help ease you fears. Best of luck to you and I hope you get your rainbow!

Thanks ladies!! All helpful information...

Looks like everything is turning around, I took another test yesterday and the line was a bit darker. I also took a digital this morning and it said 'Pregnant 1-2 Weeks" - Super excited and fingers crossed, I would like to get blood work to confirm HCG levels are rising at the right rate.

I am thinking because it is so early maybe the levels are in fact doubling they are just low.

With my son they doubled a lot faster from what I remember.

I will keep you guys updated!! First prenatal appointment on Tuesday.
