Hi all, hoping for some help. I’ve been TTC 6 years and have had 3 failed rounds of ivf. I’ve had a bit of a cold and been feeling dizzy from 6-8dpo. I am only 9dpo and did a test with second urine of the day - confirmed 9dpo as I used ovulation sticks. Is this a positive or am I too early to get excited? Never seen a positive in 6 years xxx

Staying positive for you @Butterfly8719 🤍 How are you feeling this morning?

Like PPs said, spotting and cramps can be a 'normal' part of so many pregnancies. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, lovely xx

MrsBrightsidde · 29/07/2024 18:55

Keeping my fingers crossed for you OP and really really hope it’s just spotting. As PP said don’t give up hope - what you’re experiencing happens in successful pregnancies too so doesn’t mean the worst is happening xx

Gonnaenodothat · 29/07/2024 17:19

The only time my tests got as dark as that was with a twin pregnancy and I hear spotting can be more common with twins so don't give up hope. I hope everything works out for you x

BeachRide · 29/07/2024 16:53

My cheapy tests never got any darker than yours, for my successful pregnancies. Rest up, and try not to worry - what will be will be xx

Cramps are a pregnancy symptom, I had them badly again throughout the whole first trimester. Can you book a reassurance scan? I had one at 6 weeks due to the spotting.

I am going to try and book one, the spotting is definitely getting heavier 😞😞😞

@Butterfly8719 how many weeks would you be now? I honestly had brown spotting on and off until 14 weeks and all was fine. Also whenever I thought my symptoms had gone they would come back with a vengeance!

I’m only 5w2 days. Just worried about the tests as I am 24dpo. Hoping they come back but starting to get cramps today xx

Don't panic.
Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was expecting DD2.

I was sure it was curtains, but all was well.

This was my test this morn at 24dpo, I thought if my hcg was doubling it would have been much stronger. Most people have the test line darker than the control, and I can’t see any different between todays and 2 days ago, so this plus symptoms stopping and spotting, I’m feeling very negative 😕

I’ve just started brown spotting 😟 I’m a bit worried as I feel my tests aren’t progressing either and boobs feel less sore. X

Honestly, my wondfos never got super-dark. Maybe they use less ink? 2-3 is perfect xx

Niiina · 26/07/2024 09:00

@Butterfly8719 it sounds positive. They say your body is expanding and preparing for baby, so sounds like your uterus is getting ready 🥰🤞🏼 And boob sensitivity sounds positive too!

The line progression looks great 😍😍 But I am completely with you on being a little doubtful or cautious 🤍 Hopefully you'll start to feel more reassured as time goes by xx

@Niiina was kind of hoping 20dpo would be darker, will test again tomorrow at 22dpo xx

@Niiina i hope so, it can get quite intense at times. I feel ok, I had waves of nausea this week which seems to have gone now, so just hoping that’s because I’m early and symptoms come and go. Boobs are super super sensitive. I still don’t have a dye stealer on wandfo though!! Will show you.

Niiina · 26/07/2024 06:39

Yay, congratulations @Butterfly8719 😍😍 Sounds great so far. Might just be your body doing its thing (bubba could have implanted that side too). Did you book your scan? How are you feeling? xx

Just got 2-3 weeks on the clear blue weeks indicator, I ‘should’ have 3+ weeks early next week. I’ve been having pretty consistent cramps in my left side and am a little worried. I did have a cyst removed around 10 weeks ago, so could be that. Hoping nothing bad 🥹 x

How are you feeling @Butterfly8719? How are all of you ladies doing?

I did test and got a VFL! But then the cramps became horrendous, followed by red blood about 12-14 hours later 😔 So it's happened again. This is a little different to the first one though! My period is also super light and like clockwork, so I think I'm still in shock xx

Oh I’m so sorry, that’s just shit! I hate it when that little bit of hope gets crushed ☹️ sending love. I feel ok, starting to get some sickness now so starting to feel a bit more real. The ladies perfume at the train station was making me gag 😄 xx
