Is this a vvvfl or false positive?

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

@Butterfly8719 congratulations this is lovely news and made and made my day. I had cramps for 3 weeks with DS.

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

I had brown spotting just after my positive test and had period cramps for 2 weeks.

I wasn't hopeful but my 'spotting and cramps' is sat across the room from me and is almost 20 now 😁😁

Haha, just reading back after posting. @TingeOGinge you could be me!!

To those who are experiencing cramps. I believe this is perfectly normal. I had them when first pregnant with my son (I'd had a couple of miscarriages before him so was pretty worried). My midwife told me that this is just your uterus getting ready to grow your baby! I also had spotting, again my midwife said that spotting was nothing to be concerned about. Anything more than spotting needs checking out asap, though. My son is 20 next month so my midwife was spot on. I had a couple of miscarriages after my son and then at the age of 36 entered early menopause so it was just the one for me.

Thank you @Butterfly8719 I hope so too! AF due today but have been too scared to test. This evening have had cramps and spotting (unusual for me) so your post @TingeOGinge just now has reassured me. Keeping my fingers crossed xx

Oh I know this feeling of not wanting to test and staying in the hope bubble. Did af arrive? Fingers crossed for you xxxx

Oh, beautiful line! So pleased for you 😀

My wandfos have stopped getting darker so I’m not going to use them anymore 🥴 I’ve read they take ages and I think it’s just going to cause anxiety! Xx

Haha, that definitely makes sense @Butterfly8719 so that you 'feel' pregnant, right? I've not had a child yet (only a mc) but everyone has always said about that heavy feeling being their early sign and that it just doesn't go... so perhaps it's here to stay hehe! Such strong lovely pink lines 😍😍 xx

Exactly ❤️ I’m so sorry about your loss, it’s so unfair and utterly crap. I’m hoping your rainbow is on its way soon 🤞🏼✨ xx

Oh that’s a wonderful test and the doubling is good. Looking forward to hearing about your scan. Due in the autumn here.

That's great @Butterfly8719 and hopefully you'll continue to feel good 🤞🏼 Haha yes, I'm sure the anxiety is related (and all this heat 🥲)! Hope you're enjoying the BFP bubble too 🥰 xx

Weirdly I’m desperate to feel all of the horrible symptoms 🤣 I hate not feeling much. My cramps have stopped but I have that weird heavy/hip achey feeling like my period will start, is that normal and will it go? 🫠🫠🫠 x

Yes I’m going to have a 6/7 weeks scan - I don’t think I can last 12, neither can my husband! Here’s to praying 🤞🏼 xx
