Strong BFP?

34 replies

AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings · 20/05/2020 22:03

I've tracked my cycle so I know my dates aren't off - and I took a pregnancy test the day before this too and got a bfn. So not pregnant from last month.

I felt a bit faint so took a pregnancy test 10 days before my period was due and got quite a strong BFP.

Does anyone know what this means? I know it sounds stupid, but could there be a sinister reason why there's so much HGC being picked up? Like an ectopic.

I had this once before and it was twins (that I sadly MC'd). But even then all I got was a faint bfp 8 days before my period was due.

My period is still five days away so I'm not even four weeks yet. Wished I hadn't tested tbh!

Strong BFP?

I'm actually massively in shock as I'd gone to the scan to ask questions about miscarriage management and karyotyping. Not to be told that I have a viable pregnancy happening!

Just to update: There was a heartbeat and I'm measuring about 6.5 weeks.

So… the reason why I got such a strong BFP is a mystery still. The only thing I can think of is the consultant could see a corpus luteum on both ovaries. So maybe there was another one in there (slightly further along, even) at some point.

More than happy with one though.

Thank you all for your support and kindness. I couldn't have got through the last few weeks without you.

How did you scan go OP?

Consty · 07/06/2020 11:51

OP I was tracking religiously with my DS and thought I knew my OV to the day.

When I went for an early scan there was no baby to be seen. 2 weeks later there he was.

They put me back 2 weeks. Meaning I got BFP the day I conceived according to them Confused

Everything tallied up to their dates at measuring scans and due date too

It was the weirdest thing but he's a super healthy 13 year old now!

They really do, I'm the typo queen. I will say that my symptoms came and went pretty much until my second trimester when I was pregnant. But I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Sorry, didn't answer your question: I've not told doctor about symptoms loss as I'm booked in for a scan Tuesday and was very lucky to get that slot even. With covid there's limited services running. I'm actually surprised they are seeing me at all without bleeding.

@Bananabananapants lol! Mumsnet needs to introduce an edit button 😂

Thank you, I know you're right, but I also recognise the signs of a pregnancy ending from my previous ones. So will just have to wait until Tuesday to confirm.

Bananabananapants · 07/06/2020 05:41

I meant try NOT to negatively predict. Oops!

Bananabananapants · 07/06/2020 05:40

I'm so sorry that you've experienced so much difficulty! Flowers

Please try to negatively predict! Have you spoken with your doctor?

@Fedupofitnow123 I delayed replying because I'm in a bit of a dark place right now. I feel like the pregnancy has ended and I'm going to have another mmc. I feel stupid for even trying at this point.

My symptoms have completely disappeared now - which in itself isn't always a bad sign, but for me, has always heralded the end of a pregnancy.

This will be my 5th mc.

How are you op

CheeseSammich · 05/06/2020 03:49

You must have ovulated a bit earlier than you'd thought though because at 5dpo you shouldn't have implanted yet and therefore wouldn't have any hcg in your urine to detect xx

CheeseSammich · 05/06/2020 03:44

With my first pregnancy I'd tested that early, without an early detection test and the line was as dark as the control! So darker than your test shows. It did turn out to be a molar pregnancy, but I was having really severe symptoms almost immediately, as though I were already 2-3 months pregnant because the hcg was abnormally high. I was also bleeding a fair amount and cramping badly. Everyone is different but your lack of symptoms is a good sign that's it's not. And as pp said it is very very rare! I hope everything works out for you xxx

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you. I just feel like this pregnancy has ended before it's even begun. But I do really appreciate you saying that.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 03/06/2020 09:26

I had very few symptoms at the beginning of this pregnancy. I was incredibly tired but that can be normal for me. With my first DD, I had awful nausea for the whole first trimester. Other than the odd wave, I didn’t have any nausea this time. Try not to focus on symptoms because they might not mean anything.

I have a scan booked in for next Tuesday when I'll be anything from 6-8 weeks, I'm guessing.

I did a clearblue test at 4 weeks and it said I was 3+, so at least 5 weeks then.

I've had no symptoms again so leaning towards this being another mmc.

I'm either 5 or 6 weeks now (probably not 6+)

Fingers crossed for you x

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 27/05/2020 08:56

I can understand why you’re reluctant to feel excited about the pregnancy after all your losses. Flowers I hope this works out for you!

Wesstywoo · 27/05/2020 08:19

@AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings You must have ovulated earlier than you think. At 5dpo the embryo has only just turned into a blastocyst and implantation hasn't begun yet so there is no HCG to pick up on a pregnancy test - have a quick google of embryo development and implantation.

And congratulations! Smile

I don't have any symptoms apart from the fainting so guessing it's another non viable twin pregnancy

My period is now one day late and this is the most positive pregnancy test I've ever had.

Especially for four weeks.

I'm really hoping I ovulated early this month and I'm 6 or 7 weeks because I first got a bfp 10 days ago. That would be the dream.

I keep getting dizzy spells and feeling faint. This is my 6th pregnancy (4mcs and one dd) and the only time I've fainted was with the twin pregnancy I mc'd. So suspect twins again.

I had ordered a clear blue weeks test but it hasn't arrived yet (thanks, Prime) meaning it's a bit useless now

Strong BFP?
