Thought I'd post here since so many of you have so much experience.
I had a chemical just shy of 5 weeks recently. I was one day late of my period, got strong BFPs, shortly after began HEAVY bleeding, clotting, cramping. Still was popping pretty strong BFPs until I finally got a BFN, which would have been just shy of the 5w marker. I took a test a day for a few days after that, just to be sure. There *might* have been some evap lines on one of them, but otherwise pretty much BFNs.
It has been 9 days since then. I have taken occasional OPKs since then just to see if I do something wonky and ovulate early, since now I'm definitely trying to avoid the egg. They've all been negative.
I have still felt oddly symptomatic, and just to reassure myself, I took both an OPK and a HPT today. OPK is negative... but HPT is wildly positive. Like, super strong second pink link before 3 minutes are even up. I take another, from a different batch. Same thing. FRER -- super faint, but it's there. I took a ClearBlue and it says "Not Pregnant."
I had the same sort of weirdness with my first M/C at around 7 weeks, but all of that weirdness was BEFORE my bleeding. This is now after the bleeding by more than a week, and after several days of BFNs. I know HCG hormones can linger for awhile after a M/C, but this was a really early loss, and I had quite a few days of seemingly no detectable HCG?
Any insight? I think my only concern here is that when I look up a lot of these things, I get lots of "ectopic" results :worry:
