11DPO positive - but concerned

208 replies

JDecember21 · 08/11/2024 09:00

Hi all just looking for some advice really feeling very anxious. Yesterday at only 10dpo I got 4 positive tests including one clear blue digital it said Pregnant 1-2 weeks.

then this morning I took a pregnancy test that was extremely cheap (pack of 3) with only a 20ml HCG sensitivity and the line was BARELY visable. This was with first morning urine! So I instantly thought I was having a chemical.

i went to the shop and got a more sensitive clear blue test. And it’s come back positive straight away - but in your opinion is the line colour ok for 11dpo?

As getting mixed signals on the cheap tests - not sure if I should be concerned. A doctor won’t see me will they?

thanks Jess

Morning ladies, but of an update my side- got my 3+ weeks this morning so feeling much happier and a little less stressed (will see how long it lasts 😂) but reassuring to get this!

How's everyone doing today? 💕

@Runsandbuns thanks so much lovely. I know it doesn’t guarantee anything but it is a comfort to see in plain words that it’s progressing. I’ve promised myself no more tests now.

Thank you! It’s weird because I wouldn’t say it’s like crazy symptoms for me I’m not being sick or anything, I just feel like I don’t want to do anything/no motivation. Honestly I wouldn’t worry: there are women who have a pregnancy with barely any symptoms at all, or they could hit you out of the blue (sorry) honestly everyone is different.

just counting down the days to the scan is the hardest thing. I say I’ll be happy if I see a heartbeat etc/ but then I’m sure I’ll find something else to worry about 😂😂 xx

Amazing @JDecember21 that's such a great milestone!! I've been holding off using mine but might try tomorrow.

Sorry you're not feeling yourself, but at least it's a sign your body is working overtime to grow a gorgeous little human. Weirdly I'm still not feeling much, which I guess is a blessing but equally I'm finding it worrying. I'm maybe a little more tired in the evening but that's about it

Hi ladies I also forgot to say, yesterday I finally got my 3+ on a test, so I’m officially not testing any more now as I must be at least 5 weeks or more. And no need to drive myself crazy anymore! Hope you’re all okay. I’m trying to distract myself. Struggling a lot with work at the moment just feeling so tired and drained. I’ve not been able to clean the house at all or do any excercise feeling not myself at all xx

Hi @sellingupslow hope youre ok sorry to hear this 🩷 as you’re 5.5 weeks by the looks of it you could be right on track. You also could have ovulated later than you thought like I did. It could take anything up to 6.5 weeks or maybe even more to see the foetal pole. I thought I was 5 weeks at mine and I only saw a sac nothing else. I think everyone is different honestly and it really does vary for everyone! It looks at though below it could take up to 7 weeks to see everything so as hard as it is please try not to fret. I’m in the same boat as I have to wait for my scan too to see if anything has changed in ten days and it’s going to be so hard. Trying to keep myself busy and I’m here if you ever need to talk xx I think we have to look at all the positives. I had pain too and now it’s gone - at least they didn’t identify ectopic etc? That’s really positive that everything is in the right place x

Hi @sellingupslow sorry to hear about the pains but sounds all pretty positive to me. You are probably just too early in the journey for them to see. This happened to my friend who went for a scan at 6 weeks after also experiencing pains and they could just about make out the gestational sac. She went back 10 days later and everything was all good and she heard the heartbeat. She's now 30 weeks pregnant.
Try not to overthink the worst , and stay positive.
This is definitely a very anxious period but focus on each day. 💕💕

sellingupslow · 21/11/2024 15:09

Hey everyone!

I had a scan today due to pain on my side- I think I'm 5+5 however they could only see a gestational sac and yolk, no foetal pole so now I'm feeling even more anxious than before 😢

They've booked me in for a follow up on Dec 2nd but how am I going to survive that long 😭 I've just had a bad feeling from the start

@sellingupslow ah okay this makes me feel better, I was absolutely shattered yday and weirdly feel completely fine today, even my bloat feels less but I need to stop reading between the lines and just roll with it (easier said that done).

My scan is 2nd dec- 6 weeks 6 days at that point so hoping I'll be able to hear the heart beat then 🤞🏻 when's yours?

Also- I am only feeling maybe a very few waves of mild nausea, but not sure if that's in my head. I've read it doesn't usually start until week 6 though..
Jsyt paranoid I have literally no symptoms

I think minimal symptoms is very normal at this stage, as does any symptoms being very intermittent! Mine definitely are

Brownbottle · 20/11/2024 18:23

Hey again, @JDecember21 I’m also planning to take another clear blue weeks digital at the weekend to see if it’s gone up to 3+ weeks as it was 2-3 last weekend which I hope is ok! I’m 5 weeks 2 days today and planning early scan 8 weeks if I can hold out that long, sooner if I get any bleeding or strong cramping! Sorry if I’ve posted that before, I’m losing track of everything!

@Lulu89x thats great news!!! Yes haha indeed. I would suggest having a break for a bit now if you can it’s soo hard though. X

Haha I'm done with testing now! I bought 2 different tests and each pack and 2 in them. I had two Premom sticks too. I'm out now and don't plan on buying anymore! No need to test any further now lol

@Lulu89x and don’t worry about the negative as they all have different sensitivity thresholds there were some cheap ones I didn’t get a positive on straight away either x

I tested again the following morning and the cheapie also showed a positive. I've been testing like crazy - expensive habit!!

sellingupslow · 20/11/2024 15:31

@Runsandbuns I wouldn't panic too much about the symptoms. Yesterday I was ok ish and today I cannot keep my eyes open!

My boobs do hurt but I only notice it when my 4 year old kicks me in the night or jumps on me during play 😂

What dates are your next scans again? @JDecember21@Runsandbuns

JDecember21 · 20/11/2024 15:27

@Runsandbuns tell me about it!!! Well when I’m taking the test it’ll be like nearly 4 weeks since conception so praying the 3+ will come up. But I get exactly what you mean by if it doesn’t then it’ll make me more anxious!!!

my symptoms genuinely come and go. Some days I feel awful and tired and others I feel semi ok. I’ve had to have a lay down most days though because of how tired I feel.

my boobs are extremely sore and yes I’m very bloated. I just feel kind of uncomfortable in that area like I’ve always got a full / kind of burny feeling near my uterus I don’t know how to explain it. It’s not like period pains but it’s just uncomfortable like something is going on. I haven’t had any bleeding though thank god. But yeah… this was is torturous. 12 days to go till next scan!! lol.

how are you feeling?

OP posts:
Runsandbuns · 20/11/2024 14:17

Hiya! Yes @JDecember21 I'm thinking of doing the same with the digital weeks, although I'm slightly scared incase it doesn't and then I'll panic!

Ah I'm struggling today feel like my symptoms are subsiding, don't feel nearly as tired as yesterday and swear my boobs are less tender- sure it's in my head/ hormone fluctuations but I can't stop reading into things.
I am still pretty bloated- are you having the same? Feel like all my trousers are too tight!
Gosh the countdown to this scan really is taking its time ...

@sellingupslow look at that dye stealer!!! Yes agreed. I’m going one more digital with date this weekend just to check it’s gone up to 3+ weeks but that’s only because of how anxious I am before my next hospital ultrasound.

i have been reading some stuff though and it’s totally normal to just see the gestational sac at 5 weeks pregnant. But next time I go I’m praying I see more!! Sooo nervous and trying to keep my mind off it but it’s so hard isn’t it. Any tips you have from last time let me know 😂 x

sellingupslow · 19/11/2024 20:27

@Runsandbuns Im the same. I used my last test yesterday (attached) and won't be doing more! 🤞🤞 everything is fine in there

@sellingupslow @JDecember21 we can all go mad together 🫠🫠🫠

Glad everyone is pretty similar though and reassured about the no symptoms. Have you both stopped testing?

sellingupslow · 19/11/2024 16:46

Im 5+3 (I think!) and no symptoms today except slightly sore boobs and also feeling nervous 😬
