Hi everyone so long story short.
My partner and I have been trying to conceive since last year. I suffer with irregular periods so went to docs got bloods taken and everything was fine. Doc said my LH hormone ? Was at 23.1 and asked if over the weekend I had taken a period I said no but was spotting only the once.
Today I have been spotting brown to dark brown now red.
Doc did say to take a test in two weeks,

Is this normal?
Does this sound like early pregnancy?
It's my first time and don't have anyone to turn to ask keeping it a secret just want to know other people's thoughts. :) xxxx

Anyone? :)

Brown spotting again today. Took a clear blue and through it could see the faintest of lines but no point taking a pic you can't see it.

Advice please

Have you tried a frer as they're more sensitive than clear blue? X

I'm afraid none of your symptoms specifically sound like pregnancy. Spotting could be caused by a few things; an irregular period, implantation, ovulation, etc.

LH is the hormone that peaks shortly before ovulation. I'm guessing that is probably why the doctor suggested taking a pregnancy test in 2 weeks time. Under normal circumstances a period will arrive roughly 12-14 days after ovulation unless the person is pregnant, in which case that's often the point at which the person can take a pregnancy test.

When was the blood test done? Normally the earliest you could hope to test for pregnancy would be 10DPO (days post ovulation).

Thanks for replying, I have ordered some first response hopefully should come tomorrow x

Keep us updated! X

Will do, this is the test I took earlier picture is rubbish tbh I honestly feel like I can see a small faint line

I can see an extremely faint line! Fingers crossed for you X

Took a first response about an hour ago ...

I can see a faint line! Does the line have any colour?
I would wait 48 hours then test with fmu you should have a stronger line then!
Wishing you the best of luck op keep me updated x

It's like a very very faint pink line.

That sounds promising! I'd say it's positive then x

Omggg that is most defiantly a line!

Yeah please be a line line and not evap but it is definitely pink!!!

When should I take a digital?

I'd say that's positive congratulations!
I'd wait 2-3 days before doing a digital as they're less sensitive than frer, it takes 48-72 hours for hcg to double x

Congratulations!

I do agree that it'd be best for you to wait until Friday or Saturday until retesting to ensure the levels have had a chance to increase.
