Line this dark before AF?

Just wondering when would you book docs/first midwife appoint? I'll put why I am unsure down below so hope it makes sense.

In April about over a week before AF was due I had about 4 days of what I would call spotting, brown discharge when I wiped. AF was late and It started on day 47 of my cycle. Between the random bleeding and AF I visited the doctor as I had a lot of pelvic pain, he said it was chlamydia (didn't do no tests) and gave me anti B. Me and OH both got full Std tests and came back neg so didn't take the medicine.
This month, June, I went back to tracking. My app said ovulation was 8th-14th, however going off how I felt I thought it was around the 5th-9th June. AF this month is due on the 27th. I tested on the 16th and got a faint pos. Pic attached is the past 3 days as you can see last one is a very strong dark line with 6 days till AF.
Now here's my question. If you disregard last months cycle because I have never had one messed up, then the 'normal' AF would have been the 17th June which would coincide with the faint positive. As if we go by this cycle from May (late cycle) - June being 34 days then it's due Wed and I got a positive 11 days before which is that possible?
With my first i had a faint pos a week after missed AF so I've never had a pos before. My question is would you start the process off, midwife appoint etc or wait till wed when AF is supposed to be due? I'm worrying by self thinking it's going to be a chemical (even though I didn't worry about that with my first I've only discovered that on here it seems quite common😖)

Line this dark before AF?

That's a really strong positive line, I'd probably go and see gp

Mine looked like the bottom one and I was 7.5 weeks! Book a GP appointment.

In my area we just call the midwife department and tell them our dates. They then send a letter with the first appointment, think it's 8 or 10 weeks. I'd wait a few days personally as there's no hurry. Congratulations on your pregnancy

Just re-read (I was a little confused) and now understand you think you might be quite far along. I'd try a weeks indicator clearblue test before ringing the midwife (no need for gp unless that's policy in your area)

I'd wait, solely because I booked in and then had to call to cancel everything.

Htaylor182 · 22/06/2018 19:08

Thanks guys I'll do a digital see what it says. I am a bit concerned I am further along then I thought, last month I did do a test but was quite early and then when AF came I didn't bother doing one again till this month. That's what I'm worried about that I'll book it all and then have to cancel it. Can't help but worry its taken us 3 and 1/2 years to even get a positive test so I'm stressing over every little detail!

My midwives took the date of my last period (I told them it wouldn’t be helpful as irregular) and worked it out from there. Dates were wrong so I just ended up with 2 12wk scans. Nothing to worry about! They have a standard way of helping people and they’ve heard every scenario before. My advice is to ring them as they may help you feel calmer and enjoy your early pregnancy. Congratulations!!

Mine was that dark at 13dpo (tracked by OPKs and temping so I'm certain of my dates) and I'm now 27 weeks

I think it's a good sign, congratulations Smile

Congratulations! But bring told you had chlamydia without any tests or investigation is very naughty! I'm glad you didn't take them and got screened
