BBT still above coverline after bleed. Help?

[kcf90]

Evening all.

I am looking for some advice and opinions please. This is my first month tracking bbt but it hasn’t dropped before AF when I expected it to.

CD19 - Ovulation according to clear blue monitor
12DPO - very very faint line. Brown spotting.
13DPO - another faint line. Heavy dark red bleeding. Assumed AF or chemical pregnancy loss.
14DPO - brown spotting, no red.
15DPO - light brown spotting. Faint line, looks darker than before but still stupidly faint.

I’m really confused and unsure as to what could be happening.

Any help would be appreciated.

The drs just said to go to A&E if I experience any pain but other than that they didn’t have much to say about it. She actually said I know more than she does... sigh. Anyway, I don’t have any symptoms. Maybe mild cramps if I think about it but very mild.

Thanks

Kirsty xx

Oh my god I’m freaking out. First ever line on an FRER!! Please let this be it!! xx

Looks like a positive to me @kcf90 congratulations. How many dpo are you?x

@Mich2020 thank you so much! I’m trying to keep my head level at the moment as I’ve had faint lines and chemicals before but never on an FRER! I am 13dpo today. My temp dropped today so I thought game over :/ xx

I do hope it gets stronger for you 🤞🏻 for a sticky bean.. think I'm 13-14dpo today and have been getting ridiculously faint faint lines on ICs for days but nothing on frer so think I'm out. Keep us posted won't you 😊 x

So faint. Hard to capture x

@Mich2020 Ooh this is what my IC tests look like! Definitely not a dark line so don’t rule it out yet.

But this just happened!! Xx

@Mich2020 you can see here that the IC is nowhere near positive xx

Omg omg @kcf90 massive congratulations 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻 have you got a pic of the ic on its own please. I don't want to get my hopes up but you've given me some 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Mich2020 thank you so much!! Yeah I’ve attached the one I took as the same time as the digital. But you’ll see yesterday’s wasn’t as clear from my posts above.

We started trying around January 2019 so it’s been a long wait for this moment. I just hope it sticks! Xx

Eeek this does give me some hope I'll keep trying with cheapies unless AF appears. I would like a line like that. Even just a little darker than what I've been getting would be great xx

@Mich2020 keeping everything crossed for you! I wish they’d be a bit darker on the IC as it’s making me nervous how light they are but trying to stay positive because of the digital. I honestly felt like I wouldn’t see this day! Xx

Tested this morning as woke up and still no
AF. The cheapie seems to be blank but I'm sure there was a shadow on the frer but nothing obvious and it could just be my eyes. Counting myself out now completely and wish AF would just show so I can start a new cycle. Had a lap and dye last month for endometriosis. Came on very heavily on CD27 4-5 days after the op. Definitely due by now but also could have affected my cycles 😐 x

@kcf90 I've just seen theee posts!!!! Massive massive congratulations to you my lovely! So happy for you!!!! Xxx

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you so much hun!! I still don’t believe it and keep worrying myself that I’m going to bleed any moment. I’ve never had an FRER or digital positive though, eeek!! The tests are still fainter than I’d like to see but are darker than yday which I know is a good sign. My temps also went back up again today! How are you doing?! Xx

@Mich2020 oh no that’s such a shame that the lines are showing today. It does does sound like that may have had an impact on your cycle :( was the bleed this cycle or last? How long are your cycles normally? How long have you been ttc? Xx

Last cycle the bleed was. Really heavy and painful too. Usually 28-30 days so I'm not actually late until tomorrow. Had my coil out Oct 2018. Bled March 2019 and been trying since then ☹️☹️ xx

Your lines are looking darker so that's good. Xx

@kcf90 I'm so so so happy for you! Just enjoy it! It's your time!!!!!! I'm Cd3 😩😩😩

@kcf90 this is my cheapie from just now.. still faint but there. I'm so confused. I'm going to order some clearblue x

Hey @kcf90 how you getting on. Has your frer got darker today?? I've tested with a cheapie and a accutest brand. Both still faint. Although the better one is 25mui. Think I'm going to see how I go and call the drs Friday to see if I can see someone and maybe get some bloods done to find out what's going on x

Ah sorry for the delay in getting back to you ladies. I was back at work today which was hard to concentrate.

@Mich2020 I am so sorry you are having a rough time waiting! I’ve been there and it’s so painful. How many dpo are you now? I do hope the drs can get you in to help. Have you got any frer left?

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you so much lovely. I still don’t believe it. I’m quite calm really but scared it’ll hit hard if anything happens. I’m sorry you are back onto another cycle :( it may be worth getting your vitamin D checked as this is the only thing I can think was different for us this month!

As for my tests, they are getting darker :) I haven’t done another frer tofay, thought I would wait a few more days. But I’ve got some easy at home ones which are definitely better than those cheapy blue ones xx

@kcf90 I started taking vit D 2000iu last month, so hopefully it will do something, I got so so sick last month 8-10DPO couldn't stop throwing up and was so dehydrated so it's not a suprise it didn't take last month!

What cycle was this for you, I know it's been a really long journey for you, just enjoy it now! Those lines look amazing!!! Especially for IC I often hear they take till like 6 weeks to darken! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 fingers crossed it helps! It’s hard to pin point what did it for us but this is the only thing that was different. My blood tests had just come back abnormal with regard to blood clots/lupus too so I’m nervous of what that could mean.

Im not sure on the exact cycle but I came off the pill in January 19 and my periods returned June time last year. It’s felt like a very long journey. The line is darker again today; I just want to see it really bright and solid. I also don’t have any symptoms which is worrying me haha.

I can’t work out how far I would be. They say base it on your last period start date which was 10 August so would make me 5wks but I only ovulated Around 1st September.

I’m sorry to hear you weren’t well. I hope you’re feeling much better now? Was it just a nasty bug? xx

@kcf90 so they do say date it off last period, but then they will change it at dating scan, that's what they did to me, so if you had a "normal" 28 day cycle they would put you at 4 weeks 2 days now, I always thought I was two weeks ahead because my periods tend to last 10 days or so longer then a Normal one..... also don't worry about symptoms they come hard and fast from around six weeks!!! Make the most of last few weeks feeling normal for about 18 years 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@kcf90 but go off last period date until they tell you otherwise! You'll get your scans sooner!

We've said when / if we find out I'm pregnant we will pay for a reassurance scan at 8 weeks just to check everything over xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 I spoke too soon about symptoms, I’ve been exhausted today (even had an afternoon nap!) and feeling icky with a horrible taste in my mouth. I’ll definitely keep it from date of period as that puts me about 5 weeks! It’ll be 6 weeks on Monday. The dr said not to get in touch again until 8 weeks :( I did mention to my hubby yday that I could be tempted to pay for one as there is a little place just down the road from us that does various scans. My hubby is so on edge, he is more obsessed with the test lines than I am. I feel surprisingly relaxed (or maybe still not sure I believe it?). Haven’t told anyone yet but we are seeing both sets of parents this weekend so may spill the beans then! I can’t decide when to tell friends as they know we are struggling trying and check up on me weekly to see how we’re getting on xx
