Chemical? False positive?

Had this faint positive two days ago but tests today look negative :/ does this mean it was a false positive? Or could I be having a chemical? Still no sign of AF and bbt is still above the cover line. I’m also not experiencing any pain or cramping like I did with my chemical in May.

Period after MC?

How long did it take for your period to come back? On the day of my miscarriage, my levels were quite low. I was testing negative a week later. It’s been around four weeks since the MC and no sign yet of a period.

How often?

Does anyone know how dark the line can actually get on a test? I’ve been watching the progression, but at some point it must max out on what the test is capable of, right?
