Strong BFP?

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?

To reassure you from an ectopic perspective they usually have a low HcG level and are often slower to rise. Congratulations, I hope this is a good outcome for you!

It is probably just a molar pregnancy to be honest because I've had so many losses already.

They're very rare, so it's unlikely. Probably best to keep your expectations low at this stage regardless though. Expect the worst, hope for the best and all that. Good luck. x

Thank you everyone. Wasn't tracking temperature, was just tracking symptoms and dates (period very regular and symptoms are always very strong).

It is probably just a molar pregnancy to be honest because I've had so many losses already.

My period is due in four days and I'm still getting very strong bfp.

I don't know, OP, I think it varies from one pregnancy to another. My current one was stronger than that and it really freaked me out, because I was testing once a week (no idea where I was in my cycle) and it went from BFN to huge and glaringly positive in one week. I did Google it. The only reasons I found for it were a molar pregnancy and twins. Mine was neither- no problems thus far at 20 weeks in (touch wood). Sometimes it's just one of those things.

Have you been checking your BBT to know exactly when you ovulated as maybe you have ovulated a bit earlier than usual, as at 5 dpo implantation will only just have happened and it takes a couple of days for HCG to show up in your urine. Anyway whatever the case, congratulations!

@AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings congratulations 🤗

Happyhappy37 · 21/05/2020 08:38

@AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings wow. That's a very strong positive at 5fpo. Do another test today if you are still feeling unsure.

Those tests are from five days passed ovulation.

How many days past ovulation are you?
