Hey peeps,

Today I’m 11 days post IUI and 13 days post trigger. Took fast response after cramping all last night. Was so disappointed as feel like AF is coming (due in 6 days) I stopped taking my progesterone pessaries.

If there is a faint line I’ll begin taking them again.

@rumandbiscuits thank you for your input. It’s really confusing when that happens. I had two follicles measuring 18+ on day of trigger and lining of 8mm+ so hopefully I’m successful this time around. Just gets so hard.

I am holding off until Monday.. having awful cramps though so not looking great may just be af on its way 2 days late tomorrow. Will test on Monday (unless I get tempted over weekend)!

@LemonTwist10 I saw nothing on your first set but the second is definitely a line.

@zara84 I understand. Hold off if you can and I pray you get your BFP! I’m due on in 4-days time so I too feel like AF Is on her way. Felt awful all day. This ttc stuff is so difficult sometimes. I turn into such an obsessive.

I’ll keep you updated and best of luck hun x

Yes do let us know how you get on but honestly that does look like a bfp :) x

lookingatthemoon · 13/12/2019 23:02

Definitely a line that doesn't need tweaking at all! Fingers crossed for you!

@LemonTwist10 You could definitely be experiencing symptoms at this stage, as soon as implantation o cuts you can't start being symptomatic.

The annoying thing is some of the symptoms are like pre AF ones 🙄

My weirdest early symptoms every time has been a runny nose and feeling of getting a cold which apparently is caused by a surge of progesterone!

Nausea and sore boobs are an excellent sign. Everything crossed for you 😊

@Hardheadedwoman39 thanks for responding. Same cramps in lower back and stomach today with sore boobs.

Tested again this morning the test line was the same shade as the one I did yesterday so not sure what that means.

I feel like AF is coming. I’ll test again tomorrow and see what happens. Such a tense time unfortunately, guess i just need to relax and embrace whatever the result is. Thing is, either way it’s out of my control.

Thanks again x

From what I remember from my ttc years, I was told the line's expected to darken on average every 72 hours (lots of variables though like dye-type in test etc). So I wouldn't expect your test line to have been darker today x

@diege hey thanks for your input. I will purchase another brand tomorrow to make a comparison. I’ll arrange bloods for next week through my clinic. X

@LemonTwist10 hope your okay... so I did another test this morning where the control line was blank so I guess a faulty test and done another just now and have below (this is cheapy Tesco test) your thoughts? I’m confused as I’m cramping as you would before af?!

@zara84 that defo looks like a clear pos. CB are more sensitive than Frer. Congratulations, get bloods to confirm.

@Zara84 I too am cramping as if AF is on her way. Due on Tuesday so fingers crossed. Been trying for so long and emotionally exhausted. X

I had AF-like cramps at the start from DS, so hopefully it’s a good sign!

Zara84 · 15/12/2019 16:56

@LemonTwist10 that looks like a clear positive congrats! X

@Zara84 thank you. Seeing I am 15 days post IUI I don’t know if it’s normal for the line to be so faint. I changed brand as I thought I was getting fake positives or might be a chemical. I’m so nervous lol.

Definitely a BFP OP! Congratulations! This happened to me last year and it took a week after my period was due for me to get a very clear positive. My BFP is now five months old. Good luck.
