Bfp not getting darker help

Hi, yesterday at I think 10dpo I got my bfp. I'm worried as my temp has steadily dropped and is now levelling our just above my cover line. I did another test this morning and it looks the same to me (the line is slightly fatter I think but no darker). Think this could be ok or not to get my hopes up? 😢

@ELW85 @tisonlymeagain
Thank you so much it means a lot. I'm gutted but trying to take the positive from this that I know we can get pregnant. Still bleeding and cramping and even though I'm telling myself it was so early I'm still quite upset. Haven't told anyone we had a positive so not really got anyone to talk to

Hugs. I know exactly how you feel as this happened to me last month. It's just so horrible. You start to believe it is true then it is ripped away from you in. Heartbeat. Be kind to yourself. Talk about it if it helps. It did me. X

Abi58 · 06/06/2019 15:27

@Whyhaveidonethis exactly that 😢 thank you so much.

So sorry Thanks

@Abi58 so sorry to hear this. Totally understandable to feel crap - its an emotional rollercoaster. My period after CP was actually less heavy than usual so hope yours is too. I've just entered my first tww since the CP (think I ovulated a day later than usual) and feeling ok about it now but trying not to get hopes too high with all the talk of increased fertility after.
Like you I do think the line darkness and progression, or lack of, are signs of something being wrong in most cases.

I hope we all get bfp soon xxx

Whyhaveidonethis · 06/06/2019 21:00

@Abi58 and @Jeds55 my period after my CP was really short and less heavy although I had a few days spotting that I don't normally have. I've now 3dpo with first cycle since my CP and I ovulated on cd15 rather than the more normal for me cd14. I read an article yesterday that said that the chances of a successful pregnancy after a chemical (in ivf though, not natural} are significantly higher than if you don't have a cp so maybe there is a sliver lining.

Thanks everyone.

@Whyhaveidonethis 🤞🏻 that is true 😁

Oddly I had an urge to do an opk and it's not positive but there's a definite line there (mine are normally stark white until ov and back to stark again after) so just a bit odd. Any thoughts?

@Abi58 are you 7 days since temps dropped? Maybe you are getting ready to ovulate again! Other thing is that OPKs can't necessarily distinguish hcg from LH and so will show a line for hcg rather than LH. So if you have some in your body still the OPK can pick it up. I'll try to find a link to an article....

Jeds55 · 06/06/2019 21:46

Hope that's true @Whyhaveidonethis re higher fertility
@Abi58 was going to mention that opk pick up hcg too. Have you had a negative test since the bleeding started (think you mentioned you went to doctors)? It took about 10 days from my positive to negative.

Saying that I did do some googling about CP and Ovulation and some women did ovulate really early/late after so it could be a genuine surge.

Abi58 · 06/06/2019 22:13

@Whyhaveidonethis it's 6 days since I started bleeding we were away so I wasn't temping. Hopefully only getting ready, only stopped bleeding yesterday so if it's soon doubt there would be enough lining for implantation :(

@Jeds55
I've seen that as well and got my hopes up a little but no just checked and as negative as can be. Will see what happens over the next few days.
