12 dpo positive

So I’ve been testing since 9 dpo and been getting barely there lines until this morning and they’re so much clearer.
Only problem is I still think they’re too faint for 12 dpo?
I had 4 chemicals last year but they literally just stayed faint - didn’t get any darker at any point.
I’m getting the same cramps I did with the chemicals though so I’m assuming this will go the same way.
Do these lines look ok for 12 dpo? I’m 2-3 days away from period.

12 dpo positive

Is the bottom one most recent? That’s darker than the rest. Are you using FMU each time? Thing is on my internet strips I’m still getting faint lines on one brand yet with others it’s darker so I don’t know what to think. My cramps have lessened a lot today. Was hoping they’d go but now they’re not as bad im thinking the worst!
Got my scan booked in for 7 weeks. Seems ages away!

I wouldn't worry about the cramps, I had really bad ones for the first 2-3 weeks of my first pregnancy so try to not worry about those. And I haven't got any positive results with the cheap tests and definite ones on the frees, everything is just so unpredictable with hormones!

I'm using FMU every morning, and the bottom test is todays yes. But still not anywhere near as dark as I'd expect for 3 days past my period due date xx

@Ellie1311 any updates?
Hope you're doing ok xxx

Ellie1311 · 20/02/2022 20:02

@cakeislife123 hey! Still doing ok! Lines are super dark and strong so obviously not having a chemical but still having a lot of cramps. I feel absolutely wiped out too !

Booked a private scan for 6 weeks as I don’t think I can wait til 7! So that’s in a weeks time!

How are you? Did you test any more?

Ooh let me know how you get on at your scan, I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you that all is ok and you have a nice strong heartbeat

Mine was a chemical as expected, started bleeding today and had some private bloods done as suggested by someone on another post and first lot of results came back today and was too low to be viable it seems. So back to square 1 now, but at least I know what's going on.

Really hope all works out for you, keep me updated next week xxx

@cakeislife123 I’m so sorry to hear this. I just know exactly what you’re going through and it’s absolutely crap. I hope it passes for you quickly and you take time to heal.
Here if you need to talk any time. Xxx

Ahh that's so lovely of you, thank you. I'm really ok though, I've had time to come to terms with it as I've known it was coming for a while now. And this is the first time I've ever fallen pregnant naturally in 3 years total of TTC, so it's nice in a way to know that it might happen without private fertility treatment as that's what we thought we would need to do originally xx

How did the scan go? Xx

Ellie1311 · 05/03/2022 15:18

Hey! It went ok (ish) - I had a scan at 6 weeks exactly and there was a ges sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole. But she said ovulation can affect this - my cycles are around 31 days so I tend to ovulate a bit later so really I’d only be 5 + 4 which can obviously affect what’s seen.
I have a re scan tomorrow so hopefully baby has been doing some growing. I feel absolutely terrible in terms of sickness and exhaustion so something must be brewing!

How are you feeling after everything? Xx

Oh got my fingers crossed for a nice clear scan for you tomorrow then! Let me know how it goes

I'm ok now, bleeding has stopped and had a negative pregnancy test this morning so hoping my cycles just go back to normal now. Going to do ovulation tests and see if I ovulate this month xxx
