Is this likely to mean chemical?

[Lassie1982]

Have had very light spotting. Very dark brown in colour.
Took frer yesterday with mid morning urine and got a decent line, it was light but definitely there and easily visible.
Af was 3 days late and I was 15dpo
This morning I did frer wi fmu and the line was lighter, still there, but very faint. (4 days late, 16dpo)
I'm still breastfeeding, 3hourly round the clock - I heard this can increase chance of chemicals?

I had bloods drawn yesterday and result should be back tomorrow night. But I suspect it will take a second test to determine wether it is a viable pregnancy.

No cramping and a tiny amount of dark brown spotting

What are your experiences / thoughts ?

Wow Lassie!! I remember you! Everyone is coming back here with oops! So awesome! Don't even try to give up yet, a line is a line And I think a line after af is due is pretty promising! Fx bloods come out great and it's pink!!

Oh no!!! I had spotting last pg and it really freaked me out. Dark blood is likely from implantation so as long as it isn't fresh, bright red, it should be OK! Pink is OK too. Let us know your results when you get it back!

Well it's never reassuring to be sure but the tests can go lighter and darker at this stage, and it all depends on the concentration of your urine.

I had a full 5 day period and was pregnant the entire time so don't worry about a bit of spotting. FX for sticky bean!

Spotting is normal- I have always had some as implantation bleeds. I have never had a chemical or m/c. You'll just have to wait to see how HCG test goes. Likely, this early, you'll start bleeding heavily as a period if you have a chemical.

my miscarriage at 7 weeks was bright red, lots of blood and lots of cramping. i spotted brown through both my pregnancies so i wouldn't be concerned just yet. fingers crossed!

It's not looking good
Today's frer was negative.
Bloods will be back this afternoon
I'm still spotting, but no cramps and no blood.
I'm really not optimistic any more.
What a horrible horrible roller coaster this is.... shock, fear, apprehension, acceptance, excitement, planning, then sadness and loss...all in the space of 36 hours.

I'm sorry. That's so unfair. Maybe u could go in for a blood test to be sure x

[nuthinbutpink]

I'm sorry.

[Lassie1982]

Started bleeding very heavily this afternoon. It's over
I'm taking it pretty badly, but will be ok.
Not sure when we will start trying again, probably later this year as originally planned.
Thanks everyone xo
