Can There Be A Delayed Chemical Pregnancy?

hi started taking msm sulfur a teaspoon a day. I was taking biotin as well but stopped. I felt pregnant a week before my period was due. I received light second lines that were visible but super soft in color. Gradually the lines grew just slightly darker. But I am now five days late for my menses and when i take a test the line is still there but just light. With my first pregnancy the test line was darker at the time of my period. The symptoms I had gotten with my first pregnancy were sore breasts and exhaustion. But for this, I am breaking out and sweating and burning hot at night when I sleep, and of course bloated and when I think blood is coming out it is just thick white stuff. But I am unsure if this is a delayed chemical pregnancy and my body is just in denial and wont bleed or is the water soluble msm sulfur - making it difficult for the hcg to register properly in urine-

Hello,
Home pregnancy tests read well after 3-7 days of a missed period when performed with a fresh early morning sample of urine. Since you have got an equivocal result, I would suggest going for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres as they are very sensitive and also specific. This may be followed by a trans-vaginal sonogram and a clinical evaluation by an expert. Chemical pregnancy is diagnosed when there is bleeding at the time of the expected period with a positive pregnancy test. This does not seem to be your case. Hope this helps.
