* WARNING TMI PIC* Implantion Bleeding??

Does this look like implantation bleeding? I had it after DTD today and had a little more of the same on a pad since.
I'm cycle day 26 of a roughly 30/35 day cycle, my app shows that I am due on in 5 days which is usually accurate. I do have irregular periods but I'm not usually this early.
I didn't manage to confirm ovulation this cycle so no idea if/when I have.
I've also had minor headaches every day for the last like four days which tend to be hormonal for me, as well as waking up in the night to pee! -Which was a sign with DS1.
Going to test in the morning, but I am currently struggling to sleep so thought I would post on here and see what people think! Realllllly hope not AF 🤞🤞🤞🤞

This evening I've had quite a bit of low down cramping and like pulling if I cough or get up too quickly 🤔

@ItsEmily it's still not quite as dark as the control line so I still wouldn't say that is positive. And no you don't ovulate until 12-36 hours after a positive OPK. The OPK picks up the luteinising hormone (LH) which surges BEFORE ovulation. But yeah I would DTD tonight if you can as it seems O is close for you!

Caved in and did one before work lol
Looks like I’ll probably be ovulating in a few days as it’s much darker than last night !! I reckon the line will be darker later if I test. Fingers crossed Dh is up for DTD lol

@Katnissx @Mich2020 I didn’t know that about the ovulation , so you’re not ovulating when the lines are dark ?

I won’t test now before work as I’ll be thinking about it all day but I woke up with loads of EWCM this morning , so I’m hoping If I can get DH in the mood tonight after work we might manage to DTD and then if I ovulate tomorrow at least we have caught it

GaaaaarlicBread · 10/12/2019 07:49

Sorry to hear that @Katnissx, maybe it was a chemical ?? But don’t lose hope until AF arrives xx

Mich2020 · 10/12/2019 07:49

Oh yes I did see that sorry. I get so confused with these posts and who's posted what. Keeping everything crossed for you on Friday. Keep trying with the ICs though and see what happens xx

@Mich2020 Thank for the reply, I did a FRER yesterday morning and was negative 😔 Saving the second one for Friday when AF is due. Don't think I can take another negative though 🥺

@Katnissx how annoying for you, can you get yourself a frer to know for sure? X

So this morning I decided to test using my old ICs and a new batch that came recently (so they are different batch numbers)
And the old IC is showing the same faint line I keep seeing BUT also has run ink, whereas the new IC is showing BFN 😖 (in pic the top test is the new ones and the bottom test is the old ICs)
So now I'm worried that it's all just been ink running (although all have come up within the time frame apart from the first one), or a bad batch?!
What do people think, is there still hope? I am 2 days away from AF now so if there was really a line would it not have been getting darker by now?
I hate all this not knowing 😔

Thanks @Mich2020, I did do another test this evening and again a very very faint line but within the time frame 🤷‍♀️ hoping for a stronger line in the morning! 🤞

@HavelockVetinari what makes you think it could be a chemical?

@ItsEmily Hey! Yeah agree with the above posters, I used to find mine would start to get darker closer to the peak, but it does need to be as dark or darker than the control line. I used to test twice a day when they got darker to make sure I didn't miss the peak- just make sure you hold your wee and don't drink much for a couple hours beforehand. Is it your first month of using OPKs?
I wouldn't stress if you can't DTD tonight, you are definitely in for a good chance if you DTD yesterday. And also you won't ovulate for 12-36 hours after a positive OPK and you haven't got your positive yet so you still have time, tomorrow could actually be better timing than today anyway 🙂

Mich2020 · 09/12/2019 19:57

@ItsEmily ah no, maybe hold out testing until tomorrow when you can dtd maybe? I know you don't actually ovulate for 12-48 hours after a peak result if at all. Good luck for tomorrow xx

HavelockVetinari · 09/12/2019 19:35

Could be a chem pg but equally could be a sticky one - fingers crossed for the latter!

GaaaaarlicBread · 09/12/2019 19:28

@Mich2020 I’m worried if it’s positive , DH isn’t up for DTD tonight (I know this as we did it yesterday and he doesn’t like doing it two days in a row as he worries he won’t finish). So if it is positive I’ll just end up getting sad and stressed lol

Sorry I shouldn’t be jumping on this thread with my problems ! X

Mich2020 · 09/12/2019 19:19

Aw sorry to hear that @ItsEmily yes hopefully if you manage tomorrow too then you should be in with a chance. It only takes that one time 🤞🏻 keep my fingers crossed for you. Try another ovulation test in a few hours without a wee and see what result you get x

GaaaaarlicBread · 09/12/2019 19:16

@NemophilistRebel sadly this isn’t a pregnancy test :( it’s an ovulation one

GaaaaarlicBread · 09/12/2019 19:15

@Mich2020 thanks so much we are only on cycle two but still been finding it hard ! My husband does long days and is quite often not up to having sex lol we have been aiming every 2-3 days otherwise he struggles . Struggled last week due to a death in the family but had sex yesterday which was my first day of EWCM. Hoping we manage tomorrow if it’s peak day ! Do you think we will catch the egg ?

Mich2020 · 09/12/2019 18:51

@NemophilistRebel @ItsEmily her test is a ovulation one and not a pregnancy test x

NemophilistRebel · 09/12/2019 18:41

Ps - you don’t need the line to be darker for the co tell line to be a positive

That’s a very strong positive as it is

NemophilistRebel · 09/12/2019 18:40

Looking promising

Mich2020 · 09/12/2019 18:40

@Katnissx I can defo see a faint line on that IC 🤞🏻 good luck are you going to do another this evening XX

Mich2020 · 09/12/2019 18:39

@ItsEmily that's not a positive result yet the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line. But keep testing maybe twice a day would be best 🤞🏻 good luck x

GaaaaarlicBread · 09/12/2019 16:59

Can I ask if this means I’m due to ovulate soon? You seem like you’re very knowledgeable able of this whole TTC thing !!
I hope you get your BFP soon , stay hopeful! Xx
