Hi ladies, please help me as I am stressing out.
We have been TTC for 15 months. This month I felt different in the sense that I had strong cramps at some point halfway through my cycle. It was strong and lasted cd18-21. I assumed this was implantation and started testing on ClinicalGuard internet cheapies. I got BFNs until I saw a squinter on morning of CD28 (1 day before AF due).
I retested the same evening and the next 2 says and all have remained the same strength (and hasn’t gone darker) which is worrying me.
I thought it may be because they are cheapies and since I had a spare FRER, I tested day AF due and got a BFP that was definitely there but not strong.
You’re going to think I am mad and I probably am but I kept testing with the cheapies.
Since I am a twin myself, I thought I could be carrying twins and it could be the hook effect and so I diluted my urine for testing 3 samples.
Sample 1 - Undiluted Urine
Sample 2 - Added 2 tbsp of water to sample 1
Sample 3- Added another 2 tbsp of water to sample 1 ( 4 tbsp in total added).
Bizarrely, they all came up with the same strength?
Can this be right??
I then bought another double pack of FRER and decided to test again the following day and I’m still getting the same strength, (no further darkening of the line) in the colour of the line even though it is now 4 days since my first BFP and 2 days apart on the FRER testing .
I’m so worried whether it’s a chemical and really not allowing myself to get excited purely because of the lack of strong lines.
Please also note I have no idea when I ovulated, and the strong cramps may have been ovulation, which is according the flo app was 4 days prior to the strong cramps.
I’m sorry for rambling!
I will also try to post pics (not sure how to as I’m new in here) and hopefully some of you can share with me your experiences and stories
Thank you x
