Line eyes 11dpo

[dinosaursgorawrrr]

Posted a few days ago as cramping and temp drop at 9dpo. Thought I was out this month but the crampings been happening 2 days now. Thought I'd take a 25miu test as I needed to to confirm my theory but a line came up and disappeared. I took a 10miu with the same sample and got a vvvvf line straight away and it's still there 20 minutes later. No idea if it will show up on here but please tell me I've not gone mad? It was very dilute as I've been drinking way more than usual today so will test in the morning or tonight.

My ob/gyn said some women just have bleedings, and they don't really know why. But maybe it would be best if you go and see a doctor just to get peace of mind?

@dinosaursgorawrrr

I don't think today's line could be much clearer.. But what does it mean 😩 bbt still Lower than usual but the line is getting darker by the day.

@dinosaursgorawrrr hey! Soo I'm having the same thing I'm 17/18dpo today and heavy bleeding this morning not so much of it now but Iv had my BFP since 7/8dpo waiting for my wondfos to arrive today to see if lines progressed since yesterday. Hope you don't mind me messaging just a super lonely time

How are you doing today?

I just found out that my 10miu tests are actually 25miu as amazon sent the wrong ones (American easy@home are 25miu).
Tests much darker this afternoon but the digitals I purchased to calm myself down have made it worse as it says 1-2weeks and I'm 18dpo today. I got my first positive at 10dpo. I've got a Dr phone consultation tomorrow for something else so will ask them what to do then. I keep thinking it's pointless as they can't stop anything happening but guess I'd better get it over with :(

Congratulations !! Your lines seem to be getting darker which is exactly what you want
Do these weeks indicator tests could as of implantation?? Cause implantation is like 6 days after your ovulation which if you're 18dpo, would be 12 days... Which kind of agrees with weeks indicator....

Count not could**

Remember that the digital ones you add two weeks on to it, so could be around 4 weeks pregnant which would work out from your dpo timings?

Fingers crossed for you!!

Lines darker today - will take the other digital on Monday by which point I'd be 5 weeks and 3 days (ish). If it doesn't say 2-3 I will worry.. Epau won't see me until 6 weeks at either of the nearest hospitals.
My IBS is really painful and I've only just realised the cramping is gas pain rather than AF cramps 😳😳 I stopped taking my ibs meds when I found out, hoping the gp can tell me if I can take anything.

My bbt crept up this morning after changing the battery. Turns out I've been sleeping with my mouth open and I wake up almost every hour so no idea how accurate the bbt is now but it's worrying me. During the day my temps over 37c whereas bbt is 36.46 today.
Not going to relax until I find out its not ectopic 😩 can't even go at exactly 6 weeks as my partner and son are going to London for the day on Friday next week.

Today's test is so much darker so hcg definitely going up. Still spotting brown and occasionally a pinky/red colour.. Lower back spasms too like sciatica but that could be because I've reduced my nerve blockers.
I told the nurse I'm scared it's ectopic but she can't refer to epau without severe pain aswell as/or just heavy bleeding. She did agree to do a hcg blood test on Monday afternoon so I should get the results Tuesday. I live nearly a hour away from the nearest a&e so I'm terrified of ectopic over the weekend although she said it's unlikely to be ectopic (Ive read far too many similar stories all ending in ectopic..). She also said to stop testing which I will when I run out of tests 😳 If hcg is below or above a certain level she can refer to epau. On the upside I managed to get antibiotics for a uti which I'm hoping helps as I may aswell live in the bathroom now 🙈

@dinosaursgorawrrr I spotted evey day of the first trimester with my daughter, especially when I exercised. Apparently things are just a bit more sensitive down there when you get pregnant. If you look at things on the face of it, you've got tests which are getting darker and fine your temps are a bit lower than you expected but if you have a uti that could easily throw things off. As far as I'm aware ectopic pregnancies present with weak test lines and yours are anything but.

That's reassuring 🙂 Still spotting today between red/pink and brown. Still only really when wiping but occasionally a few spots on a liner. Ectopic can haelve dark test lines too so it's hard to know. They seemed happy that the test was positive before I was due AF as it seems ectopic generally get a positive a bit later as if the embryo doesn't make its way from the ovary to uterus in time it can get stuck. I took a frer today which I hoped would reassure me but I expected a darker line even though it is still dark. HCG blood test on Monday so atleast I will know by the end of the week if I don't end up at the hospital before then

How many dpo are you now? I don't think my FRER got much darker than that with my daughter...

22 dpo today, I haven't tested atall today as trying to be good but I want to :(

What's your bbt doing?

It's finally above coverline but only just. Coverline may not be accurate this month as I had the covid jab halfway through 😳 It's normally 36.5 but its 36.65. Today's temp Is 36.69.
I wouldn't have had the jab if I'd known 🥺

The highest temp before ovulation is 36.54
It's been 36.69 when I wake up for 2 days in a row now. I have naturally pretty low temps which doesn't help.

Here's the chart

Here's a better look. I started antibiotics 2 days ago and temps gone up ever since.. Not sure if uti caused low temps or the fact I was getting up all night.

I think the uti would definitely have had an impact, as would getting up more in the night - my temps are always lower when I've had disrupted sleep. I notice that all of those low readings were also taken earlier than usual (marked by a downward arrow.) This would make them lower too. Have you tried using a bbt converter to see what they would have been if you'd have taken them at your usual time? It can make a load of difference. I would make a note of your reading and the time in the noes box, and then input the converted figure into the graph to see if it changes the shape. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! Either way, it really does seem like you have a sticky bean there!

Hcg is only 108.6 at 5 weeks 2 days. Epau for a scan on Thursday as I'm getting stabbing pains.. I want this to be over 😢

Try to stay calm, I just googled at that is still within normal range. Keep me updated xx

Thought I'd update incase anyone else has the same - not good news.
Went for a scan today and it's down as a pregnancy of unknown location.
No signs of a normal uterine pregnancy atall but also nothing on either tube which she said should hopefully mean no rupture in the next few days atleast but I have open access to the ward just incase. Still getting stabbing in my sides (yes both of them 🤦‍♀️) and although the brown spotting almost stopped I lost two £1 coin size jelly like clumps of brown and white mucous this morning which was lovely to wake up to...
No idea what they were but didn't look promising.
Waiting for a phonecall with todays hcg results and will have more on Saturday. Hopefully they will do methotrexate then as I don't want to prolong this now, I've had enough 😔

I'm so so sorry to hear this op, I was thinking of you today. Well done for sticking to your guns, your instincts were right all along. I hope you get a resolution soon. Be kind to yourself the next few days, and best of luck next month xx

Oh no @dinosaursgorawrrr I'm so sorry you have to go through this! Of course hoping for the best, but unfortunately it doesn't sound too promising 😔

I'm happy I kept pushing as everyone kept brushing me off. They all seemed to think I was panicking over nothing yet everything pointed to ectopic. Every cramp or stabbing pains making me panic but with a hcg of under 200 (at a guess - I missed the phone call) and them not finding anything on the scan I guess means that it shouldn't rupture. If I hadn't tested after the heavier bleeding stopped I wouldn't even know which scares me as although I would love another baby, I don't want to leave my 9 year old motherless from trying 😔. At this point I can handle losing a tube as long as it doest rupture but hopefully theres enough time to give methotrexate a go before anything happens.

Hcg results are back.. Monday they were 108, Thursday 281 which is doubling ever 2.18 days.
I was hoping they'd gone down 😢
