Anyone else 9/10 dpo?

[Ellie1311]

I took a test yesterday and today. Both very faint lines on both - if they even are lines!?
First month of trying after a chemical in August. I’m starting to have strong cramps though, that’s how my chemical started so not holding out much hope. Anyone else in Same position?

Hi @Ellie1311

Congratulations, I hope this one sticks for you 🤞🏼 I’m 10dpo and started getting cramps today xx

Thank you @Coco9910 , I’m not even taking it as a positive yet, the lines are too faint for my liking and I’ve had so many indents on tbose IC ones before.
My cramps are worse tonight and I feel so bloated and full of gas! I don’t know whether to take that as a good sign.
Do you have many symptoms? Is this your first time ttc?

I'm 10dpo today but worried it could be chemical also as it's so early but also got the same type of lines 10dpo with DS so fingers crossed. These were my tests from today

@Ellie1311 they sound like good signs! Are you going to hold off and test again in a couple of days? Yes it’s my 3rd cycle ttc for baby number 1. I’ve really tried to ignore any symptoms this cycle as I had so many symptoms my first cycle and got a BFN 😩 I’ve had backache and a bit of nausea but that’s it. Have you had many symptoms? xx

We can’t guarantee it won’t become chemical etc with anyone but I must say those are really strong/good lines for 10 dpo! And the fact you’ve got a positive on a digital is really good going. I’d keep testing with the ICs to see if the line gets darker. My lines stayed really faint with my chemical.

I've got exactly this - bloated, gassy (!) and cramps honestly for five days, had to get a hot water last night as was so sore... I never knew that could potentially be a sign?

I’d like to say I’m going to hold off but I know I won’t 🤣 my lines stayed faint with my chemical so I reckon if it’s no darker by tomorrow / weds I’ll assume my period will start pretty sharpish. If my lines get darker I’ll do a digital on day period is due.

Awww baby number one! That’s so so exciting you have so much to look forward to. Have you been tempted to test yet?
This is actually my 5th pregnancy. I have two boys but had an ectopic inbetween babies and the chemical in August. I’m 33 next month and this will be our last baby so I’m hoping it sticks and we don’t have to keep trying! I feel like im getting too old haha xx

@MO22 oh gosh really!! How many dpo are you? I remember getting cramps with my other two successful pregnancies but not to this extent. I’m sat with a hot water bottle too and will be taking paracetamol before I go to bed!!

@Ellie1311 thanks for the tip have fortunately never suffered a chemical before, will keep testing to see of the lines progress. This is also my 3rd and final baby ! Fingers crossed your lines get darker it's always so nerve-racking until you get that first scan I know I never relax until after that anyway !

I'm 14 DPO if we trust my OPK test. I've got PCOS but I'm actually pretty regular (despite covid vaccines screwing me over!) so I thought they might work ok with me...

I thought it was AF at first but it was too early, I'm still terrified that it's going to turn up - but cramps for five days surely isn't normal either way!

At 14 dpo you’d definitely get a positive test if you are pregnant, have you tested?

Yep done two Tesco tests, faint positives but holding out for CB digital tomorrow to hopefully avoid some of the line and false positive fear.

Not sure what to think really!

Can I join girls, I'm 12 dpo (ish)
History is I had a MMC followed by a successful pregnancy, my daughter is now 14 months and this is cycle 1 ttc again. This is my line progression I'm also worried about chemicals but could that be possible if my lines are getting stronger each day?!

@Ellie1311 try and hold off for a couple of days! I’m hoping your lines continue to get dark and you have a healthy and safe pregnancy 💕 no I’m going to wait and see if AF arrives (hopefully it won’t) and then test if it doesn’t arrive. You definitely aren’t getting too old! Please keep me updated with how you get on :) xx

I think I’m going to count myself out this month. I think these cramps are a sure sign I’m about to have a chemical. I did a test this morning (IC) definitely a smidgen darker but still really faint. Nothing like the 10 dpos on this thread :( I’m holding out on using another FRER (mainly because I only have one left and I’m too tight to buy more 🤣)

How is everyone today? Xx

@Ellie1311 don’t count yourself out yet! Try again tomorrow as it takes 48 hours for HCG to double so your line will only darken every 48 hours :) sending lots of love!

I was woken up at 5:30am with really bad cramps! I went for a wee and then it got worse but then went away after a few minutes, but really strange. I don’t usually get period pains until day 2 of my period! xx

Can I join? I’m 7dp5dt (so 12 dpo)

And I’m worried these lines aren’t dark enough! Waiting is horrible and I need to stop testing, but I want it to show up right when I pee instead of a couple minutes later!

Good luck to everyone!

I always forget that but then I see some get lines that get super darker each morning and I always think the worst. I know it depends on the brand etc too but can’t help but think negatively. I have such strong cramps still but I’m the same, I only ever get cramping around 2 days into my period and never as bad as what I’m having now.. so god knows!

How are your cramps now? When are you due on? Xx

Your lines are definitely getting darker! A good sign :) with my chemical they just didn’t get any darker at all at any point , stayed really faint. It looks hopeful for you xx

@Ellie1311 I know it’s hard but try not to worry! My cramps have gone now but it was super weird! Hopefully your cramps are just your little baby getting comfortable and ready to grow 🥰 maybe test again in the morning and see how the line is xx

@Ellie1311 sorry forgot to add I’m due on on Friday. My cycle has been really strange this month, I ovulated late last month after I had my vaccine but then this month I ovulated even later so by Friday I will be on CD39. When are you due on? xx

I have had super intense cramps at some point every day since the transfer. I wouldn’t count yourself out! The increased progesterone in early pregnancy can mimic premenstrual symptoms.

I’m due on on Friday/Saturday too. I’ll have all my fingers crossed for you! I ovulated later this month too- nothing to do with the vaccine but I’m usually really regular with ovulation and period. Maybe something in the air lol. You must be so strong willed to leave testing til your period no show. I just don’t have the willpower 🤣 xx

My cramps are literally constant with no let up at all :( I had these with my chemical in August. The only hope I’m holding on to is that with my ectopic and chemical, around 7/8 dpo I had violent sickness and diorreah. I assumed it was my body’s way of getting rid of the pregnancy and I haven’t had it this time. But the lines just don’t look good. I already know in my gut it’s not a viable pregnancy. Feel so rubbish! Will you do a digital nearer your missed period? Xx

@Ellie1311 it helps that I have no tests in the house so I couldn’t test even if I wanted to 😂 I tested before AF the last 2 cycles so going to wait it out this time. Got all my fingers crossed for you that your lines keep getting darker! xx
