I've got no hope with this cycle have I?

[andpeggy1]

So I'm usually 30 days regular cycle, ovulation happening usually between cd 15-18. This time my ovulation day wasn't til cd 21.

I'm currently 16DPO (day 35 in cycle) feeling all the pms symptoms and cramping on and off. Took a cheapo test today (first thing this morning) (75p from home bargains) and it came back very quickly and very clearly negative (see picture)

I am obese and I have heard it can take a while for the Hcg hormone to show for larger ladies. But I thought it would show now?

Should I just get my head out of the hope zone and look to buying more ovulation sticks ready for next month ( when ever my period actually starts) or am I better retesting with a more expensive pregnancy test in a few days time?

@andpeggy1

Good, strong positive there! Congratulations!🥳🥳🥳🥳

@andpeggy1 congrats!!!! That's very very very positive!! Eeeek 🥳♥️

congrats OP, I could see a very faint line in the first picture you put up but no denying that last one!

Congratulations xx

Sorry for the silence, no less than 6hours after I took that test I've started bleeding on and off quite dark fresh blood. I called the doctors and all I can do is just monitor it and make sure I don't get any other symptoms with it like dizziness or pain in my sides.

I've never felt such happiness and such sadness all in the same day

Oh @andpeggy1 so sorry to read that. Take it easy and be kind to yourself x

@andpeggy1 oh no I hope you're ok? I'm only getting a chance to catch up on here.

How are you today?xx

@andpeggy1

How are you doing? X

@sho22 thank you for asking. So all Wednesday Thursday Friday I had mild cramping n on n off dark bleeding. Saturday and Sunday it stopped completely, but my boobs are still really sore n swollen. Yesterday the bleeding returned again but with the worse cramps I've ever experienced ever. I thought I'd gotten over the cramps n bleeding and I was ready to move on but I guess not. I'm still really sad about it all, but I guess these things if they arnt right happen for a reason. I'm just finding the waiting for this to pass, then the coming of my next period, to then start planning trying again. Think all that's going to take a while.

On the off chance have you done another test?? I have bleeding like this with DS and he is currently running around my lounge like a nutter.

No I havnt done another test yet. I'm still bleeding on and off, planning to re test next week as the bleeding is suppose to be done after 2 weeks n hopefully it will be all done
