Morning ladies. How are you all this morning?
No more bleeding at all for me, was literally 4 spots when I wiped. I'm wondering if it was sex the night before has agitated something? Strips are still obviously positive. Waiting on first response and I've caved and bought another digital. Not only did I only wait about an hour from last going, I only dipped about 4 seconds till it flashed. Apparently u should dip for 20 seconds. Who knows but will retest in a bit and update
Prepared for the worst, hoping for the best x

Got everything crossed for you
No bleeding or spotting for me today.. which is unusual at this point in my cycle, but this whole cycle has been weird. I thought I was out now I’m not sure. I’m 13dpo period due tomorrow/thursday.. might get a test from the shop when I drop my daughter off at nursery this afternoon. I tested at 9dpo and was negative, got what I thought was my period I think that was at 11dpo but stopped after an hour and was never heavy/bright red. My colleague just got a BFP and the nature of our work is difficult when pregnant so unsure how my team will cope if I do get a positive result

@Kay1578 it could be thsf it wasn’t a long enough hold for the digital. I’d see how things progress. It’s horrible being in limbo with it all though isn’t it! Really hope you get a clear answer soon!

Here's hoping. Will update when they arrive tomorrow x

@Kay1578 im so sorry but keeping everything crossed for you that it was just an off day 🥹🩷

@CraftyBugger personally I found clear blue so easy to understand but it it’s fairly expensive! Apparently it’s best to test a couple of times a day with the cheapie OPK’s to get the peak!

Thank you. Don't another cheapie and just as dark as the ones I posted this morning. No more spotting at all. Wonder if a 1 hour 15 min hold just wasn't long enough for the digital? I've ordered some frers lol x

Hol1st · 18/11/2024 18:54

sorry for what you are going through @Kay1578

after posting that my period had started and I was out it barely lasted an hour. I’ve not come back to post again because I really don’t know what is going on! I have all my usual pre period symptoms so I’m expecting it any day now (was originally due on on Wednesday, so not late yet). I can’t count that small bleed as day one of my cycle I don’t think? I haven’t done any more tests because I don’t have any in the house and promised myself I wouldn’t buy more without good reason. So for now I’m still waiting.. but very crampy and definitely feel like AF is coming for real soon

Sorry forgot to @ @Kay1578

Maybe. Will see what tomorrow brings I guess. I don't have a good feeling at all. Not with already having a positive digital 2 days ago. Like you say, everything happens for a reason x

nicolenorris · 18/11/2024 17:01

I do remember with my daughter I got a very clear dark positive test, I then took a digital about an hour later and it was negative. I wouldn't be so trusting with them, they need a bit amount of HCG and the two test strips you sent us today are still fairly light so you must still be quite early. Try not to worry, I know it's hard, but everything happens for a reason- that's what I always tell myself 🩷

@Kay1578 😔 I really hope you haven't, my friend bled a lot throughout her pregnancy. It can be normal for some pregnancies, especially in the first trimester, keep us updated. Sending you lots of love 🩷

I lost hope with the negative clearblue digital. It was positive 2 days ago. I'm still getting positive strips, they just look a little lighter than this morning x

Kay1578 · 18/11/2024 16:45

No more bleeding, just did another cheapie and got a line. Surely it wouldn't be time of day for test giving a negative? Not even a 2 hour hold. Considering I got a positive digi 2 days ago. Clutching at straws I should just let go of aren't I? 😟😟 x

@Kay1578 @TinyShrew17 @greendot1 What are your symptoms now with your BFPs? Driving myself crazy as still no AF with lower back pain and odd stabby twinges low down. Got some more cheapies arriving tomorrow!

I'm getting the exact same twinges!!

OneGladTiger · 18/11/2024 16:31

@Kay1578 oh no this is awful news I’m so sorry for your loss 😔😞

CraftyBugger · 18/11/2024 16:22

@Kay1578 it's great you're now seeing progression on your cheapies.

Still only spotting for me (I think that is day 3/4 now) and not always when I wipe. It's getting a little annoying now I want my full AF to arrive so I can move onto my next cycle. I believe spotting does not count as the first day.

Tests are still negative so I think it's highly unlikely for me now. I was so sure I would get bfp with all the symptoms I had.

I'm tempted to try some opks this cycle. Is it easy to see a peak on cheap ones or best to go with clear blue?

Went toilet and wiped and was streaks of blood. Took another cheapie and mine lines faded. Took a digital and got "not pregnant". Looks like I've lost it 😭😭😭😭

Last week it was fatigue, boob ache and metallic taste and all my symptoms have disappeared last 48 hours which is not feeding my anxiety well 😅

@Kay1578 They look so good!! You knew all along! 👏🏻

I really did. Before I could even test, I just "knew" if that makes sense x

@OneGladTiger @Em3009

Thanks girls, I'm really trying but it's just too good to be true when due to start IVF next month, I just can't believe it!

@Kay1578 how often are you still testing? I've dropped to twice a day after my positive clear blue but think I'll do another CB tomorrow then put everything away and just try and enjoy it and pray! 🙏🏼

Yea same, twice a day now. I've 10 cheapies left so ill probably use them up, then that's it. I'm not testing or temping anymore. I know it's positive so unless the worst happens, I'm just gonna wait till I can go docs. Mine won't even see you before 8 weeks. Not even sure how far along I'll be. Had such a weird and long cycle x
