Hello,
I hope you’re all doing ok?
I just wanted to share my current situation as I’m feeling anxious and lonely (my other half is being amazing though).
I’m 39, on the minipill (occasionally have a period). I’ve only been this pill since last August having had about six years off. During the time off, I tracked my cycle. It averages at 33 days.
Last period started 13/03/21 (not sure why I had a period as quite rare for me on the pill).
Light spotting (matches description of implantation bleeding) on 4th - 6th April (6-8dpo - estimate)
Lots of pregnancy symptoms... extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea, metal taste in mouth. mood swings, slight cramping. Breasts not sore though.
BFN on 9th April (11dpo) - Wilkos own brand
Symptoms get more intense over the next week. Period due 14th April (according to app).
BFP on 15th April - 17dpo (ClearBlue early detect) and Boots own brand non digita!! 🎉
THEN, the day after....
BFN on 16th April - 18dpo (ClearBlue Weeks). Very faint positive on ClearBlue and Boots non digital.
BFN on 17th April - 19dpo (ClearBlue weeks, First Response and cheapo from Coop) 😢
I’m thinking chemical pregnancy TBH. 😞 But I’ve not bled yet (but periods are all over the place as on the pill!) and I still have all the symptoms! If I don’t bleed in a week, I guess I’ll test again/see the Drs?!
Does anyone have any similar experiences? I’m going a bit mad here. I’m stressed with work and moving house too; factors that could be delaying my period.
Even though I’m on the pill, we’ve talked about having children (we’ve only been together eight months but very aware of the ticking clock) so we were both very happy about it. Two days later we’re gutted! 💔 At least we nearly did it if it’s a chemical...
Thank you for reading and listening! X
