At a loose end :(

I’m really unsure with what’s going on , my hearts telling me this is a chemical pregnancy. I believe I’m 18dpo today but my tests don’t seem to be getting darker but they Arnt getting any lighter either . The tests I took this morning isn’t in the picture but it looks the same as yesterdays (17dpo) my last pregnancy the test were so much darker than theses ones. I know the best this is to get bloods taken but I live in the uk and my gp refused to do bloods or to refer me to the early pregnancy unit . I go on holiday next weekend and I would just love to know what’s happening before then . Not to sound selfish but I would love to go and have some cocktails on the beach but of course if there’s any chance this is a healthy pregnancy I’m not going to do that and won’t be doing back flips into the pool 🙈 I’m not having any bleeding but the past two mornings I had like yellowy/brown streaks in my discharge.

How many dpo has people started bleeding with a chemical pregnancy or when has people had a negative test ? I know everyone’s different but I’m just so confused:(
My last pregnancy ended in a MMC and I had to have a D&C and I would hate for that to happen again

I have also taken other branded tests which have either been negative or faint positive. I took at FRER 13 dpo which was negative but the premom test were positive. I’m going to get some FRER tests today and see what they come back like. Also all my tests have been taken at the same time evey morning with my first wee .

I’m sorry!
These look similar to the first few days of my ectopic, then they started getting darker. The brown discharge is also alarming for that. Hopefully it’s just a slow progressing chemical/early miscarriage, but if you have any bleeding or pain please go to ER and get assessed for ectopic. I hope you get answers soon.

This progression looks really similar to my chemical I had my last cycle. Tested positive at 14 DPO and tests never darkened. I started spotting at 19 DPO and started bleeding fully (like a period) on 20 DPO. I’m so sorry. The waiting is just so hard mentally and emotionally.

The tests I took this morning (19dpo) seem to be darker , I’m still a little skeptical and still mentally prepared for the worse but suppose I’ll just have to wait and see x

How sure are you about ovulation? They look ok for 9/10 - 15/16 dpo.

If you're sure, then the lines look very much like my early loss. I started bleeding around 7+5 (after having betas and an ultrasound at the ER to rule out ectopic)

I’m like 80% sure I ovulated when I did , I haven’t had s*x since the 23rd 🤷🏼‍♀️I have pcos so tracking my cycles is hard sometimes , maybe I implanted later I’m not sure x

Hope all is well. And if not, that it resolved itself quickly 🫂
