Anyone else 9/10 dpo?

I took a test yesterday and today. Both very faint lines on both - if they even are lines!?
First month of trying after a chemical in August. I’m starting to have strong cramps though, that’s how my chemical started so not holding out much hope. Anyone else in Same position?

@boobiegrabber these have been my tests for the last few days 😍🥰

boobiegrabber · 13/10/2021 09:28

@BabyB19 that’s so exciting! I may have to go buy a digital now ☺️

[quote boobiegrabber]@Ellie1311 the wait each cycle is torture! Maybe you have a late implanter.

I finally got a nice faster, darker line that didn’t take the full 5 minutes to develop this morning on my second try![/quote]
@boobiegrabber Na it’s just the exact same as August when I had my chemical. At least I know what to expect this time and have come to terms with it. If it happens again I will have to look into having my hormones checked, apparently having low progesterone can cause chemicals ? It’s just so frustrating because I’ve gotten pregnant so easily with all 5 of my pregnancies - these last two just haven’t stuck.
Your lines look very promising !!! Congratulations ❤️

@boobiegrabber I had an IC yesterday that looked the same as yours this morning, and I've just got this...good luck!

How is everyone today?
I did a test this morning (IC) and it’s still stupidly faint. I’m going to stop now and just wait for my period over the weekend. Positive that next month will be my month !

My official test day for the clinic is on Tuesday, I wasn’t even supposed to test until the 😆

Unfortunately my clinic doesn’t do betas unless you have a negative hpt on test day, so I will probably buy a better test for the official test day, then I’ll have a scan two weeks later

Coco9910 · 12/10/2021 11:33

@Ellie1311 it helps that I have no tests in the house so I couldn’t test even if I wanted to 😂 I tested before AF the last 2 cycles so going to wait it out this time. Got all my fingers crossed for you that your lines keep getting darker! xx

@boobiegrabber

I have had super intense cramps at some point every day since the transfer. I wouldn’t count yourself out! The increased progesterone in early pregnancy can mimic premenstrual symptoms.

My cramps are literally constant with no let up at all :( I had these with my chemical in August. The only hope I’m holding on to is that with my ectopic and chemical, around 7/8 dpo I had violent sickness and diorreah. I assumed it was my body’s way of getting rid of the pregnancy and I haven’t had it this time. But the lines just don’t look good. I already know in my gut it’s not a viable pregnancy. Feel so rubbish! Will you do a digital nearer your missed period? Xx

[quote Coco9910]@Ellie1311 sorry forgot to add I’m due on on Friday. My cycle has been really strange this month, I ovulated late last month after I had my vaccine but then this month I ovulated even later so by Friday I will be on CD39. When are you due on? xx[/quote]
I’m due on on Friday/Saturday too. I’ll have all my fingers crossed for you! I ovulated later this month too- nothing to do with the vaccine but I’m usually really regular with ovulation and period. Maybe something in the air lol. You must be so strong willed to leave testing til your period no show. I just don’t have the willpower 🤣 xx

@Ellie1311 I know it’s hard but try not to worry! My cramps have gone now but it was super weird! Hopefully your cramps are just your little baby getting comfortable and ready to grow 🥰 maybe test again in the morning and see how the line is xx

@boobiegrabber

Can I join? I’m 7dp5dt (so 12 dpo)

And I’m worried these lines aren’t dark enough! Waiting is horrible and I need to stop testing, but I want it to show up right when I pee instead of a couple minutes later!

Good luck to everyone!

Your lines are definitely getting darker! A good sign :) with my chemical they just didn’t get any darker at all at any point , stayed really faint. It looks hopeful for you xx

[quote Coco9910]@Ellie1311 don’t count yourself out yet! Try again tomorrow as it takes 48 hours for HCG to double so your line will only darken every 48 hours :) sending lots of love!

I was woken up at 5:30am with really bad cramps! I went for a wee and then it got worse but then went away after a few minutes, but really strange. I don’t usually get period pains until day 2 of my period! xx[/quote]
I always forget that but then I see some get lines that get super darker each morning and I always think the worst. I know it depends on the brand etc too but can’t help but think negatively. I have such strong cramps still but I’m the same, I only ever get cramping around 2 days into my period and never as bad as what I’m having now.. so god knows!

How are your cramps now? When are you due on? Xx

I think I’m going to count myself out this month. I think these cramps are a sure sign I’m about to have a chemical. I did a test this morning (IC) definitely a smidgen darker but still really faint. Nothing like the 10 dpos on this thread :( I’m holding out on using another FRER (mainly because I only have one left and I’m too tight to buy more 🤣)

How is everyone today? Xx

Coco9910 · 11/10/2021 21:58

@Ellie1311 try and hold off for a couple of days! I’m hoping your lines continue to get dark and you have a healthy and safe pregnancy 💕 no I’m going to wait and see if AF arrives (hopefully it won’t) and then test if it doesn’t arrive. You definitely aren’t getting too old! Please keep me updated with how you get on :) xx

BabyB19 · 11/10/2021 21:47

Can I join girls, I'm 12 dpo (ish)
History is I had a MMC followed by a successful pregnancy, my daughter is now 14 months and this is cycle 1 ttc again. This is my line progression I'm also worried about chemicals but could that be possible if my lines are getting stronger each day?!

MO22 · 11/10/2021 21:35

Yep done two Tesco tests, faint positives but holding out for CB digital tomorrow to hopefully avoid some of the line and false positive fear.

Not sure what to think really!

@MO22

I'm 14 DPO if we trust my OPK test. I've got PCOS but I'm actually pretty regular (despite covid vaccines screwing me over!) so I thought they might work ok with me...

I thought it was AF at first but it was too early, I'm still terrified that it's going to turn up - but cramps for five days surely isn't normal either way!

At 14 dpo you’d definitely get a positive test if you are pregnant, have you tested?

@Ellie1311 thanks for the tip have fortunately never suffered a chemical before, will keep testing to see of the lines progress. This is also my 3rd and final baby ! Fingers crossed your lines get darker it's always so nerve-racking until you get that first scan I know I never relax until after that anyway !

Ellie1311 · 11/10/2021 20:54

@MO22 oh gosh really!! How many dpo are you? I remember getting cramps with my other two successful pregnancies but not to this extent. I’m sat with a hot water bottle too and will be taking paracetamol before I go to bed!!
