12 DPO - line eyes please

[kcf90]

Hey!

I’m 12 dpo and in cycle day 34. I am usually due on around cycle day 31 but for some reason the app has changed it to 36 this month.

Anyways, I tested 2 days ago and couldn’t see anything but then had the attached yday and today. Is this looking like a good sign or should they be stronger at 12dpo?

I had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago so I’m not getting excited just yet.

Thanks xx

@mywrencalls I hope so! I did use the ovulation kits to work it out though and that’s what has put me at 15dpo. Can you implant later possibly?

If I’d just seen this test and no others over the last few days then I think I’d feel more positive xx

So the timescales I’ve read are as follows:

Positive OPK - ovulation within 12 - 36 hours
Egg hangs out in tubes for 12 - 24 hours
Egg arrives at uterus 3 - 4 days later
Egg travels to cervix and ‘floats’ for 2 - 3 days
Egg implants 3 - 4 days after that

So implantation on the shortest scale could take 9 days from the positive OPK but on the longest of all the above could take 12.5 days. So if it’s 15 days after you got a positive OPK it could only have been implanted for 2.5 days hence the weaker line?

Either way I wouldn’t worry about it, just wanted to share some of my (dodgy AF) understanding of science! Taken from this page: www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/pregnancy/how-pregnancy-happens

@Dollywilde that’s so helpful thank you! I’m trying to stay level but this wait is hard.

wishing you all the best OP - when i was getting lines like that on cheapies i also got a positive on a cb digi!

@lauryloo thank you. I did do a digital on Saturday but it was a BFN :( I’ll try again later this week if the lines on the cb tests get darker xx

Jumping on because after reading I feel so invested in you @kcf90 and hoping your get a BFP so much! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I think I am only 1dpo and we DTD a day either side of what I believe was ovulation day so I am confident that we’ve done all we can given my cycle is unknown after coming off the pill. Going to try and wait as long as I can to test but I doubt I’ll hold out! Got some FRER on the way, 2 pack from amazon £5! Barg!

@Blondeandbroody thank you so much! Wishing you a speedy 2week wait!

Things still not looking great for me... cb test very similar to yesterday but the digital was a BFN. Disheartened and confused.

@kcf90 morning, don't worry just yet when I was last pregnant I got negatives until a week after my period was due and then another week after that before a digital confirmed it, x

I ovulated late I believe this month too I think it was around cd25 I'm still getting negatives now :( I thought I got a faint postive a few days ago but negative again now x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’m struggling to stay positive but know I should until AF comes. Fingers crossed for you too, keep me posted.

This is 1st baby for us and we’ve been trying since February. I hate each month that passes xx

@kcf90 I know what you mean :( unfortunately my last pregnancy didn't last... we've been trying for a while now too and my periods just seem to irregular since having the coil removed it's hard to track anything, got another negative on IC this morn, I have heard a lot people say they are no good for early testing, when did you say you were due? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 I am so sorry to hear that :( I really hope it’s good news all round this month.

So I am usually due on around cycle day 32 but ovulation this month (day 22) pushed my period due date to cd 36. I’m now day 38 xx

Have you tried a FRER? I didn't get a positive digital for ages, it was really making me worry, I became obsessed with testing!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I tried one on Saturday but there wasn’t really anything there :( may have been too early xx

@kcf90 I did one Sunday and same.... I'm sure I got a very faint yest on IC But it's stark white today, sound like we are at a similar point! I will have everything crossed for you!! Do you have any symptoms x

Definitely a line. I would get a frer or digital now xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 how many dpo are you now? These are my tests from yday and today. Symptoms include tender boobs, creamy CM, headache and feeling a bit icky xx

I'm not 100% I think approx 10? Maybe I'm testing too soon x

That looks positive! I would get a digital, the first one I got a positive on was not the weeks indicator, but the one that just says pregnant or not pregnant

@AnxiousAnnie86 I did a digital one this morning too and it said not pregnant. So confusing xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 oh I’ve just reread sorry! I didn’t know they did those! Xx

I’ve just been to the loo and there is some blood on my liner and on the tampon holder when I inserted it. More of a dark pink colour. I am now fearing the worst :(

Oh damn @kcf90 There's definitely lines on your tests, even if they are faint, so I've got everything crossed this is just some early pregnancy spotting. Praying for you it's not a chemical

@kcf90 I second what @dollywilde has said! Fingers crossed for you!!!

@Dollywilde @blondeandbroody

Thank you both of you, so lovely of you.

I honestly don’t know how to tell other than now wait and see. it was only the month before last that I had a chemical and I’m devastated it seems that way again. I’m struggling to deal with the mental torture each month xx

So I’ve quite a lot on the tampon now. I feel broken :(
