Implantation bleeding

I’m 11 days DPO and believe I’m experiencing implantation bleeding (hopefully🤞🏻). Will there be enough hCG to show positive on a pregnancy test IF it is implantation bleeding? Or should I just wait ? I’m so impatient 😂 For reference, I’m not due on my period for exactly a week. TIA x

Latest positive date?

What’s the latest anyone has received their first positive test? I don’t think I’m pregnant, tested 10DPO negative with FRER and I guess I am being hopeful that maybe it’s too early but my periods aren’t always bang on time so I don’t wanna get my hopes up if I don’t come on on the predicted day etc. Thanks in advance

Faint positive?

So hard getting it on video but my fiancé swears he doesn’t see anything and it’s too light to tell. Please tell me if you see something. 😂

Chemical pregnancy

Anyone had one of these? I tested positive Wednesday and then done digital Thursday and it said pregnant 1-2 weeks… I then done another three tests including today and the line was next to nothing, so I just done a digital and it said not pregnant. I am heartbroken 💔

Discharge

So I’m 22 weeks and noticed Brown discharge. I have been tested for BV and that is negative and my vagina does have strep b group b. Tested negative for Trichomoniasis. So at this point is it normal?

Line progression

Finally got my BFP (confirmed by digital test), after TTC for over 2 years and with the help of IVF. Tested every morning since 5DP5DT (10DPO), but worried about my line progression? I’m 8DP5DT (13DPO) today
