Hello friends. My doctor said that I’m having a chemical. This is my first cycle ever ttc and a little bit uncertain about the symptoms, specifically in my right side. It feels like my bicep is asleep or just a twinge of sensation in my neck/collar bone area. I keep thinking maybe I’m imagining this, but it’s been happening for 2-3 days now.

Got a faint positive on 13dpo. Then two more vvvfl on 14 and 15. Then another regular faint positive on 16dpo. Started bleeding on 16dpo. My doctor said it’s a chemical and to expect it to be heavier than my period. It’s not heavier, it’s similar to my period. I’m currently on 18dpo.

Hcg was a 5 when I got tested 2 days ago. I’m just worried about ruling out ectopic based on the weird thing with my arm. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is it associated with having a chemical or should I be worried that it could possibly be leading to ectopic?

This was my first cycle ttc and I got a faint line positive today on 13dpo (yay!) stark white negative yesterday morning. Using FRER.

I’ve read that late implantation gives a higher risk of miscarriage and I’m trying to figure out if this applies to me. Some things I’ve read saying getting a bfp after 12dpo and other sources say implantation after 12dpo but that it takes 2 days for this to show up on a test. And this would mean I had implantation on 11dpo.

So anyway, I’m confused. Is the higher risk of miscarriages associated with a a positive test after 12dpo or is it if you implant after the 12th day with 2 or 3 days needed to get a positive test?
