BFP, 10dpo and CRAMPING

Hey gals

I got a bfp on a frer yesterday which got slightly darker this morning (10dpo) . I took a digital cheapy from home bargains this afternoon which said not pregnant?

I've also been cramping towards my left ovary. Has anyone had this before? Or can shed some light?

Thanks x

@ALD93

Oh no 😭

I did a Poundland cheapie (it's not a early sign one) I'm 14dpo and it's faint! more faint than the frer I did at 12dpo! I hope this isn't a chemical and hoping it's because the Poundland one is less HGV sensitive.X

This is it 😭 fuming at myself

I had terrible cramping with my first pregnancy. I vividly remember being doubled over in Aldi and having to leave my husband to do the shopping while I got a taxi home! I had terrible period pains so wasn’t concerned but then three days later, still no period so I took a test.
She was a very healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations!

@ALD93 it could be because the pound land one is less sensitive. Does it come with a leaflet that tells you how many miu/ml (how sensitive) it is. I'm sure I've read a frer is 6.3 other tests range from 25-35 I think. My frer is the same as yesterday's no dye stealers from me 🤷‍♀️ I know I need to stop testing but I need the reassurance but so far I'm getting none and sending myself into endless worry

@AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken oh thats positive to hear. I'm hoping the wee bean is getting extra comfy in there and that's why I've been cramping although it couldve been constipation 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂 xx

@ALD93 I had the same.. strong line with one brand and a faint line with another... it was the sensitivity of the test. I'm sure it's the same for you. X

My AF is due tomorrow. I feel like I can't believe I'm pregnant until I miss it. I'm having some twinges that feel like it's in my cervix region. Have you guys had twinges??

My hubby is also asking why I am still testing daily. I think I just love seeing the lines after months of staring at tests, holding them up to the light, opening them up.. etc 🤣

ALD93 · 25/07/2021 13:09

You are both spot on!

I've just checked and the cheapie is 25 and the frer is 6.3 and clear blue is 10. Explains it all.

I still can't stop testing either. My period is also due tommorow, I hope to god she doesn't show. I'm the exact same... don't believe I'm pregnant until I've missed it. But I have 0 of the symptoms I usually get before my period, usually I have cramps by now, I don't have cramps I've got twinges and my boobs are sooo sore.

When I got pregnant with my son I didn't have a single symptom until I was 6 weeks then I had morning sickness until 22 weeks!

Also with my son my lines were sooo strong from the very first test I did at 10dpo!

Got my dye stealer and look at that line progression. 2 days late for my AF now and it's starting to seem real 😍

How are you both?xxx

@ald93 that's a fab test 🥰 I'm doing not too bad. Did a CB digital weeks indicator and got a 2-3 so happy with that. I'll get some more and retest next week to hopefully see a 3+ . I've only ever seen a 3+ in my successful pregnancy. I've got no symptoms except my boobs hurting after being in a bra all day and some very mild cramping, how are you?

I'm 2 days late for my period and have low cramps today so I'm sooo paranoid that she's on her way, but I got that extreme dark line this morning so my heads all over the place. My boobs are also sore that's the only two symptoms I've got! I keep getting waves of nausea too but then it goes.

Really hoping it's not my AF on the way!

When I put my dates into NHS calculator it's telling me I'm 4 weeks and my due date is between 3-6th April 2022, I have irregular periods sometimes 26 days sometimes 28 so that's why the variation in dates. Guess I wouldn't find out for certain until a scan.

How does it work in your area? When do you tell your GP that your pregnant? After you've missed your full AF? When is yours due? X

Cheekymonkey3112 · 27/07/2021 17:00

@ALD93 so I phoned the doc yesterday regarding my constipation and asked about the midwife situ (it's changed since I had DS). She said to phone whenever to the midwife as you self refer. I said I'd wait until I had a private scan and then phone as I want to make sure the pregnancy is viable. She said that was fine 🤷‍♀️ I don't think there is any rush as they don't see you until 8/9 wks. Mine was due on the 24th so technically 4 days late now. Is that right 🤷‍♀️ I have no idea 🤣 I'm just hoping she stays away. What about you?

Hi ladies! I'm so happy for us! My Af is now late too. I have only had sore boob but different from pre af soreness... more of a heavy fullness instead. Is yours the same? I had a few waves of nausea a few days back but nothing since. I'm waiting for hubby to come home so I can run out and get a digital test... I'm hoping it will say 3 weeks + 🤞🏼. Xx

Outofreachfornow · 27/07/2021 18:34

I'm going to go to the early pregnancy unit at 6 weeks (if I am lucky to get that far) and get a scan.. they do a walk in service here and it's so reassuring to see everything in the right place and progressing normally. I had a missed miscarriage a few years ago and went to the scan and there was nothing there at all. I'm so nervous. I knew I wanted this baby but I didn't realise quite how much until I saw the BFP. 😊

Cheekymonkey3112 · 28/07/2021 00:06

Yeh @Outofreachfornow I have the exact same symptoms. Let me know how you get on with your CB weeks indicator 🤞 thats fab about the walk in service!!

Ladies I have a POAS addiction. This is one I've done just now! I can't stop. How are you both feeling? Xx

Outofreachfornow · 01/08/2021 11:57

Yay @ALD93! I totally know what you mean! After seeing 1 line for so long it's so lovely to see 2. I can't get enough. I took a digital last week when from my dates I think I would have been 4+1 and it showed "pregnant 2-3" which is 4-5 weeks pregnant right which makes sense. Although I used midday urine not fmu as it advised. I have one my I am going to take tomorrow when I should be 5 weeks and hope that it says 3+. How many weeks and days are you both assuming you are? I have been feeling ok... noticing that I have been a little more tired over the last day or so and boobs are full and sore. I also sometimes have a heavy feeling in my uterus area. I hope you are all well xx

I agree about the two lines it's so nice to see.

I also took a digital on Tuesday when I was 4 weeks exactly and it said 2-3 so on this Tuesday I should be 5 weeks so will do another digital and hopefully it says 3+

I think if it does I will stop testing as the expense is getting out of control. I've told myself it'll be my last test or I'll just torture myself.

Glad you are feeling good.. 💕
