Basically having a really turbulent time. I’ve been tracking ovulation this month and dtd around the time on my ovulation tests.

LMP was 23rd of September. I had high and peak ovulation tests from the 8th to the 11th. My cycle is 28 days and usually very heavy and painful.
I had a strong positive on a CB 6 days early test but tested negative on every other brand since.
I had light brown discharge in my underwear on the 22nd of October (Period was Due 20th according to Flo which is usually accurate). This then turned into a 4 day very light bleed that started off brown, turned pink and then brown again. I did put a pad on just to keep an eye on things but it was less than a tea spoon and not like a period flow at all.

Anyway, fast forward to now I’ve had sore breasts, swollen, tender and really veiny. Extremely tired, constant sore heads, dizziness and I’ve also now been feeling nauseous.

I know that if I’m pregnant, it won’t be a good outcome as I feel like my lines should be stronger just now. I’ve also had a dull ache in my shoulder tip and I recently suffered an ectopic pregnancy in March 2021.

During my ectopic pregnancy I had the similar ache in my shoulder but was totally dismissed by hospital staff until I was eventually listened to and the pregnancy was located and methotrexate was given. I’m now in another battle to be seen but if for anything peace of mind as I am driving myself crazy.

This is going to be the last time I test as I am so stressed it’s unbelievable right now. These photos don’t do the line any justice and it is a lot pinker in person as I understand it appears a little grey. It also came up within the stated 3 minute time frame.

Basically I just need someone to tell me I’m not crazy, I’m trying to trust my instincts so much and feel like I know something isn’t right in my body and it’s really getting me down.

Thank you if you managed to read all the way to the end x

@Pumpkinstace

Thank you so much for commenting I feel like I’m going crazy and like stated above no one will see me. I am frightened to leave it another week to try retest due to my history with ectopic but then have no idea how I go about getting someone to take me seriously x

I can see a very very faint line

@FETOCT2021

Thank you for commenting I feel like I am driving myself utterly insane. I was told by EPU I would be seen at 6weeks for a scan to make sure any future pregnancy’s were located in the correct place. But honestly, what a job I’ve had getting anyone to actually speak to me. I just have this really strong feeling that something isn’t right and I feel like a total crazy woman. The doctor I spoke to last week told me that sometimes ectopic pregnancies don’t come up as positive on a hpt as the hcg goes up and down too much. And I was like ????? Take my blood then but the said to retest.

Infuriated beyond belief. I had a MC in May 2020 and had a normal “period” bleed the whole way through and was utterly shocked when i randomly tested and got a bfp. With my ectopic in March it took me ages to get a positive as well and it was so questionable (similar to this) that I ended up spending a fortune on tests and eventually saw some progression and was so excited until it all went wrong.

Sorry you are having such a hard time. I can see a whisper of a second line. I too had an ectopic and they told me to go to straight to epu with any subsequent pregnancies.

Hope things turn out ok for you x 💐
