Is this positive?

[DeadPapaToothwort]

Hi everyone, I’m sorry, I know how annoying these can be. I think I’m roughly 9DPO, I felt implantation on Thursday - I know for sure what it feels like, because unfortunately I’ve had 3 miscarriages over the past 3 years.

I think this is positive, what do you think? I have a FRER which I’ll take in the morning. This is was taken earlier this evening.

I’m so scared this is all going to go wrong again 😢

Definitely darker. Crossing everything for you 🤞🏻

Thank you all so much, I haven’t told anyone in RL except DH so it’s nice to be able to share it with you

Little update. This is today’s test, and all the tests from top to bottom, Sunday-today (Wednesday). I think I can see some progress, but remain terrified and cautiously positive about it all. My lower back is really hurting today and yesterday, but that may be irrelevant as I’m really prone to that anyway, I’m still worrying about it though!

Looking good OP, you can definitely see the progression so hopefully this is the one that sticks. Let us know how your early scan goes, will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

I'm so pleased things are looking good - we're all 🤞 for you OP- keep posting! X

@ContadoraExplorer @Frazzledd Thank you both so much, I absolutely will. I’m still testing every day because I’m so nervous! I don’t know when to stop really.

Morning everyone, I’m feeling a bit worried this morning. I think this morning’s test (the bottom one) looks lighter than yesterday’s and my back is still hurting. I’m terrified it’s all going wrong again, but trying to be positive.

This is today’s and yesterday’s together, today is the bottom one.

Today's line is a really strong one.

Honestly, I think it's time to stop testing, as hard as it is.

You're definitely pregnant 😊 congratulations xx

Stop testing! You're pregnant! Relax, take your vitamins and allow yourself to be excited

I understand why you're testing every day OP.
If you possibly can, take a few days off testing though and (pointless advice) try to relax and settle into being pregnant and looking after yourself. Easier said than done!

Congratulations xxxxxx

Ahh thanks everyone for your comments. I have been testing every day because I have had 3 miscarriages before this pregnancy and I am on a huge cocktail of drugs including clexane injections to try to sustain this pregnancy. It is super high risk and I’m absolutely terrified. Unfortunately I will never be able to relax and enjoy being pregnant. Pregnancy is a beyond stressful time for me, and I’m limping along hour by hour to the 6 week scan, and just praying that I get that far. I won’t post any more test photos now.

We know why you're repeatedly testing - we're not telling you off (other than lightheartedly) for that. When you're pregnant at any stage it's hard to stop testing, let alone after everything you've been through!

Post as many pictures as you want! I'll still be excited for you if you post every day for the next 9 months! I was thinking of your bank balance. Tests are expensive!

Bless you...I can understand your anxiety.

If its remotely reassuring (and I no nothing probably is at this point). I had terrible morning sickness which stopped abruptly at 9 weeks and I was certain my hormone levels had plummeted and I was going to miscarry (I have underactive thyroid) , so went in for an early scan.

That bean is now a gorgeous 16 year old, off to do her A levels in September.

Oh, and the morning sickness came back with a vengeance .

Best of luck!

Agree with not relying on the tests specifically just because it can be a difference in dye and nothing to do with HCG and wouldn't want you to worry unnecessarily.

I'd focus on what you can control. Take it easy, take your meds, and try and focus on the positives (as trite as that sounds).

All fingers and toes are crossed for you

Have you spoken to a midwife or gp recently? They would probably do a hcg quantative test for you to check hcg is doubling as it should be too. Don’t apologise for the tests, although I don’t think you’ll get any stronger results so you may wish to move onto another brand with a higher miu level.

For anyone still following, and mostly just for myself, on Tuesday evening I started having cramps, followed by light brown spotting yesterday which seemed to stop just after 4. The cramps carried on this evening and I was absolutely convinced that this is miscarriage number 4, but this morning I had these tests. On Tuesday afternoon I was still on 2-3 so I don’t know what to think at all now. I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much, as I think in my heart that it’s probably over. I’ve got a scan at gynaecology this morning because EPU couldn’t fit me in.

Oh and my sore boobs have completely disappeared which has always been a very bad sign so far. I’m just holding out for the appointment.

Keeping fingers crossed for you. Glad to hear you've got a scan booked.

Fingers crossed for you @DeadPapaToothwort

Thank you both

hope all goes well this morning

Fingers crossed OP

Fingers crossed for you op! Xx

Frer this morning was negative woohooo!!!
