chemical pregnancy

[Sarsoora]

can chemical pregnancy be detected on HPT five days before missed peroid? or it usually needs to miss the period in order to show positive? and when shows positive ? does it then go fainter on the HPT?

Mine was not dark either. I don't think that matters. Don't stress!

Chemical pregenancy is not really a miscarriage but similar,  however it can be detected b4 your missed period. I know from experience

Yes it can show on an early test. That's why most people wait a couple of days to a week after a missed period to test. You will get a positive because the egg is fertilized but doesn't actually implant. Most women who don't test early would never know they miscarried and would just write it off as a late period.

Yes I had to look it up. I never heard of it. From what I just read you can't take the test and then a little while later you will get your period. This is pry why so many ppl don't even know they had a miscarriage because it was so early.

But certain tests can detect pregnancy 5 days before your missed period but not for all women. I had a negative one 4 days before my period and a positive one two days after my missed period.

A chemical pregnancy is a miscarriage, I believe.
