Frer early test +ve or indent

This post is for the non sensible people who can't resist testing early .

Argh!

Frer are killing me. Anyone think they have changed slightly so you can always find a faint line if you test early?

Last month I had spotting 3/4 days before af and tested during that period and definitely had what I thought was a line at 12dpo and then next day mid morning period started heavy.

I was so up and down last month with hopes dashed when I saw some spotting then hope when it stopped.

Don't really want another month like that. Probably shouldn't have tested early but that's me!

At 9dpo fmu I thought I saw a faint line but about an hour later when I wiped there was some pink on tissue. Cue hopes dashed and panty liner on.

Nothing all day and so I tested in evening and there was a line but I kept doubting whether pink or grey.

Tested again 10dpo fmu and same line like last night.

Now I'm terrified to go toilet in case I wipe and there's blood...

I just wonder if implantation has worked or if it's indent fooling me like last month

I know the answer is just to wait ( and go the toilet at some point!) but I just needed to tell someone. Last month I told my parents as I was so sure I had got pregnant. They got really excited and then the next day I had to say no.

If it happens again I think I'm going to stop using frer early!

If anyone has read all this thank you! Pic shows from right 9dpo fmu, 9dpo, and then 10dpo fmu ( I think... I've got the two frers with lines slightly mixed up so not sure that's 100% correct order)

One more update from me...

I had a few more red bleeds through rest of pregnancy, u got gestational diabetes (again) and baby sat on a nerve for the last 8 weeks of pregnancy so I had to use crutches so a bit of a difficult birth where I never fully felt confident nor did I fully enjoy like some women as I was mostly house bound. ( haha good training for now I suppose)

But last July I gave birth to a beautiful little girl.

So have faith ladies and if you get a bfp or get anxious during pregnancy, try and take each day at a time and say today I am pregnant.

Oh and there are definitely two types of women in the world - those who wait until after af due to test and those who test early and repeatedly!!

Happy with my two now but wishing lots of baby dust to all the women still trying and hoping xxxxxx

Just read your story and wanted to say best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy x

@ChikiTIKI sorry replying so late and very sorry to hear about your loss xxxxx

It's been a bit of a roller coaster for anyone who may be interested still. At 14 weeks I had large red bleed. Had reassurance scan and placenta over entrance to uterus so thought baby had kicked it but also told me I need to be more careful until 20 week and hopefully placenta would have moved.

Had two more red bleeds and lots of brown blood in between - so much so it stopped shocking and scaring me.

I had 20 week scan today and baby there alive and well and all organs and growth spot on.

So my little tinker is keeping me on my toes and I guess I'm becoming one of those statistics /stories of women who bleed but pregnancy carries on.

Wishing anyone reading this thread well with your conception/ pregnancy xxxxx

That's great news @OneMoreWish congratulations :) glad to hear your spotting has stopped.

Sadly I had a miscarriage mid December. I just felt like something wasn't right from the beginning so while it was very sad, it wasn't a real shock. Feeling ok now.

Wishing you the best for your pregnancy and beyond! Xxxx

Hello just a little update from me - I'm now at 12 weeks and all seems well with baby so far.

I think spotting stopped by about 8 weeks

Thanks for those who offered advice and support and good luck to anyone reading this thread who is currently in early pregnancy but spotting xxx

ChikiTIKI · 05/12/2018 18:35

Thanks @OneMoreWish :)
I think the irregular shaped sac was the main concern, I don't know what shape it was though.

I can't help but be hopeful, just trying not to be TOO hopeful :)

I appreciate your kind thoughts thank you xxxxx

Hi @ChikiTIKI I'm no expert but reading through lots of threads on here I'm not sure it's 100% there would be a heartbeat at six weeks?

I have my fingers tightly crossed for you for your scan next week xxx

OP posts:
ChikiTIKI · 05/12/2018 12:51

Hi @OneMoreWish congratulations on your scan result.

I had a scan this morning, they said the baby measured 3.8mm apparently 6 weeks but there is no heartbeat visible yet and the sac is an irregular shape. They didn't show me the screen. Got to go back in a week for another scan...

Found out I have I have cervical ectopy which means my cervix is red and sore and that's probably what's causing the bleeding at the moment. Preparing for the worst though. Thinking it's not good news at all sadly xxxx

Good luck @ChikiTIKI

I had my scan yesterday and baby was there with strong heartbeat and measurements fine for 7 weeks. I cried with relief

Don't worry about dildo cam - it's painless and so exciting to see baby xxx

Saw GP today and been told to turn up at the hospital tomorrow... Probably going to have a scan. Hoping and praying all will be well.

JugglingMummyof2 · 22/11/2018 13:32

Such good news OP. @ChikiTIKI Internal scan is fine - probe is a suitable size(!) and does not hurt at all - not even uncomfortable in my X4 experience.
Good luck

ChikiTIKI · 21/11/2018 21:31

That's great news! Congratulations!!!

I am still spotting too, been spotting since 5 days period due for 3 days and now I am 5 days after it was due and have been spotting for last 3 days. Going to phone doctor on Friday for an appointment and will ask for an early scan too. Worried that it will probably be an internal scan though :( not looking forward to that.

Good luck with the scan hope it goes well. Seems promising with the pregnancy test!! :)

Congratulations!

Ozziewozzie · 21/11/2018 10:48

The pink mucus you had was probably implantation bleed and brown blood is left over from that. Definately pregnant xx

Hello just for an update I travelled to Hong Kong at the end of last week. On arrival I had more brown spotting for a day or two but it seems to have cleared up again.

I brought a clear blue digital with me as I figured I wanted to see if my hcg levels had increased at all since 1-2weeks. I thought it brown spotting bad it wouldn't and then I would know.

Well I took one this morning which would be 5weeka and 1day ( or 22dpo) and it was still pregnant and 3+

I'm happy with that and feel reassured that even though I've had this brown spotting from early days the hcg is still rising.

I have a viability scan booked for 7 weeks after I return from holiday. I'll keep you posted

Brown blood very good - it is old. Small amounts of any colour is encouraging - large amounts of bright red would be lots of fresh bleeding - even that doesn't mean the end of the pregnancy but it is more worrying, especially if accompanied with pain.
What you have is exactly what I had - and my pal too.
I'm right beside you in spirit....

Just read your message again @JugglingMummyof2 thank you again.

So I've got another good line on frer and I did a digital and it showed up 1-2 weeks which was reassuring.

I have noticed I've got some brown blood on panty liner this morning.

In my head I was thinking brown ok especially if no cramping and then I googled... that was a mistake!

Now stepping away from google and mn and tests for a bit. I'm 12dpo so just wait and see now and stay positive

Thank you! When my dc1 wakes ill go the toilet gulp xxx

Just to reassure you I had spotting with DD1 until about 8 weeks - even went to the EPU and all was fine. She is 16 now. I do realise that this doesn't give you a guarantee but it's not unusual. My pal had it with all three of her children up to 10 weeks.
Keep us posted.

Thishatisnotmine · 10/11/2018 12:06

Those are positive. With both my dc I had spotting at time my period was due, both for the first missed period and a few weeks later. It really is common and midwives will tell you if it is pinky or brown then there is no need for worry. But you will still worry!

Congratulations!

Yikes there was pink blood when I wiped this morning... the fear is back as it's such early days ...

Ozziewozzie · 09/11/2018 20:13

Just saw your new test from tonight. That’s a definate positive! Congratulations!!!!!

Ozziewozzie · 09/11/2018 20:11

Implantation usually happens between 8-10 days after ovulation. Sometimes it can happen just after a few days post ovulation though, but 8-10 days on average. Hcg starts developing from implantation. If you had pink mucus, this could have been a slight implantation bleed (fertilised egg embedding in your uterus) If it was, hcg will grow from here on. I can see a line on left test and middle. Try again first thing tomorrow maybe. See what happens or if you tie your handles behind your back, you could hold out until Sunday Grin. I could never wait though. So frustrating. Fingers crossed xxx

WildFlower2018 · 09/11/2018 20:03

Look positive to me!

I had similar lines at 9 & 10 days po
