BFP followed by BFNs

[incywincyspiders]

Apologies for the following essay. On Saturday I got a BFP on a first response. I got it on a five hour hold wee. It was faint but there was colour and it came up within 3 minutes. I had an evap on a frer last month and it didn’t look anything like that so I don’t believe it was an evap line. I didn’t have any more tests so I ordered some to come the next day.

The next day the tests weren’t due until 5pm. So at a similar time, I collected my 3 hour hold pee in a cup. But I was silly and didn’t cover it or put it in the fridge. I know HCG does break down over 24 hours. When the tests arrived, I took one using this old pee. There was a faint line but it was really really faint, nowhere near as dark as the day before and if I hadn’t got a line the day before I probably would think it was a shadow.

This morning I did a test using FMU. It was only a four hour hold because I woke up at 3am and desperately needed a wee and couldn’t get back to sleep. The test was stark white. I have no idea how many dpo I am as I wasn’t tracking this month but going on past cycles I was 8/9dpo on Saturday and 10/11dpo today. Obviously HCG is supposed to double so I expected the line to be darker today.

The whole reason I tested was cos I was really poorly weds-Friday with cold symptoms and read this an implantation symptom. Is this a chemical? Or could there still be a chance I will get a BFP? I’ve attached pictures of the tests from saturday.

Yeah it was faint but it was most definitely there and definitely pink. Which would be in line with 8/9dpo lines I've seen on here. Pretty sure I ovulated 4th or 5th even without testing but I guess that 8dpo for the Saturday test is pretty early if i did ovulate on the 5th. It is going to sound weird but I feel pregnant.. I'm just hoping my urine was too concentrated or something these past two days. But I know that's grasping at straws.

I will wait to see if AF shows. It's never late so if it hasn't appeared by thursday I will go out and test.

Thank you lovely!

I can't keep doing this so when I go back to TTC next year (will be going back on the pill after my AF appears as we had decided to focus on our wedding) I won't keep tests in the house and will NOT test unless I miss a period. Because getting your hopes up is definitely horrible and if this was a chemical/early miscarriage I will be more devastated than if I had just got my period without testing.

It's not really pregnancy symptoms that are making me feel pregnant just things that are different than my usual lead up to AF. Usually only get cramps the day before but have had low level cramps all week (like abdominal pressure) and I have been going to the toilet so so so much. Another reason I'm hoping my BFNs were just cos of diluted urine. Even in my holds, I'd still drunk water (I know you're now supposed to). But I've come to the conclusion that it's not long until AF is due and what will be will be :) I really think if (more likely when) it arrives that I had a chemical because I have absolutely no doubt that Saturdays test was positive.
