Is this line dark enough for 7 days post period due date?

[riverbat]

I thought I was not pregnant as I had a negative test a few days before period due (due 7 October) another around time it was due, and because I had a small amount of brown blood 4 days after period due (on 11 October) which I thought was a period albeit v light one. I felt sick when I woke up this morning, 7 days after period due so thought I would do one last check before starting ovulation tracking tests.

I'm really worried it's ectopic as the line isn't very dark? And because of the earlier negative tests. When I was pregnant last time it was super dark and I had severe fatigue from implantation (which I felt as dull pain) onwards. This time no fatigue no implantation pain just a little nausea this morning.

My last period started 13 Sept and average cycle is 24 days (23-25 range) so if the brown blood was implantation bleeding it was much later than it 'should' have been - is that possible? I don't know when I ovulated.

Does anyone have a similar experience and what happened?

That line is very dark! I rarely see strong lines on those tests but that is very clear. Congratulations.

Oh really? Thank you
I think I used the same tests last time (DC is now 2.5) and it was much darker than this a couple days after period was due.

Is say that's a dark line. Congratulations xx

That line looks very promising and dark 🙊 maybe ovulated later this month? Congratulations!xx

@riverbat That looks like a very strong bfp to me! Congratulations!

My cycles are also about the same length as yours so just wondered how long was your 'tww' usually? And were your periods only a few days long with lots of spotting? xx

@SparkyLauz thank you I don't have a usual TWW, I guess - I have fallen pregnant first go, Sam's as last time. I don't remember when I took the second test exactly, somewhere around when period due (a week ago) but was obviously too early. I'm guessing I ovulated later than I thought, though in that case surprised DP's sperm survived! I'm a bit confused. Periods usually heavy and long. So I was confused and worried when it was just a bit of brown blood, as had ruled out being pregnant never got to use the ovulation sticks I just bought ..
