So please don't judge me for this as I am already punishing myself and my stupid choices as it is.
I have just come back from a holiday, where I ended up sleeping with one of the locals out there.
For reference I have not had sex in 3.5 years through personal choice after an awful break up with an emotional abuser, I have chosen to protect myself and my best interests by staying away from men! However a few drinks in the Sun and some charm from him ended up with us in bed together.
Fast forward to now, last night I went to the loo and noticed some pale pink discharge on the tissue when I wiped, as this was so unusual for me it led me to check my Flo app and I have absolutely shit myself when I realised I was ovulating (or so the app says) on the exact day I slept with him. We had sex numerous times with no protection (I know, I know!) as I haven't been with anyone in such a long time it sort of slipped my mind.
For further reference I have an 18 year old already and since I gave birth to him I have never had a pregnancy scare or anything similar as I have always been on the implant (which I removed early last year)
My app tells me that I am 7DPO and that I should do a pregnancy test in 9 days if I don't come on my period.
Alongside the pink discharge, the cramps in my tummy and tender breasts today I am now actually panicking that I may have brought home something more than memories from my holiday!
If I am pregnant then I already know that I would keep my child and I would have to tell him about it but am I just overthinking?

I am new to all of this and would really appreciate some advice from you all about whether it's just a coincidence or if these signs/symptoms are actually that of conception/implantation.
Please don't judge me for this I understand I have been a bit daft sleeping with someone I had only just met and I especially can't speak to any of my family or friends about this right now.
Is there anything I should be looking out for or should I relax and go with the flow? As you can tell I wasn't actively trying to conceive however if it turns out that way i will see it as a late life blessing. If it matters I am 38...

If you got this far thank you for reading ❤️

This thread makes me feel sad for this man and child

Why?

CC4712 · 23/06/2023 23:12

So your mum recommended putting a pen or ring in the photo to stop the blur? Was this from her experience of using mobile phones to take pics when she was doing pregnancy tests when she had you??? How is your mum OP?🤔

Holly1712 · 24/06/2023 00:34

@CC4712 do you honestly have nothing better to do? Why does it matter to you so badly to question what the OP is saying? True or not, why do you feel the need to judge and pick apart someone’s story?

Tiddlypomtiddlypom · 24/06/2023 08:20

Why is this thread getting snarky responses??

alittleadvicepls · 24/06/2023 08:54

Not so patiently for OP to take her morning test 🙈

Chichz · 24/06/2023 09:31

Wooo will check back later - fingers crossed for you OP! 😊

What are you trying to say? What other reason would OP have for putting the items next to the tests? Why would this make her a troll?

Why?

Because they are never going to have a proper relationship.

FragrantBumFluff · 24/06/2023 23:35

The pink discharge was a sign for me, not had it before or since being pregnant. Hope you get the result you want.

Enn1234 · 25/06/2023 22:12

Hi @Bismillah2023
Hope you're okay!
How did the digital test go?

Pinkbumbles · 25/06/2023 23:29

@RunningFromInsanity not true there's always possibility for him to move don't write him off

@Bismillah2023 hoping you got a positive outcome

JumboShrimp · 02/07/2023 08:23

Checking back to hear what happened in this epic saga. Are you preggo?? Sending love and good vibes.

e0103 · 02/07/2023 12:57

I have the same tests as you OP (one step early detection?) and am in a similar situation. 2 weeks late, faint positive, should be darker by this point you are right. However, when I have done these tests before, if negative they are stark white. Keep us updated OP, something is happening, I would say possibly a chemical, but if you have tested negative before these then seems unlikely, as tests would be lightening up :/

HumphreysCorner · 03/07/2023 18:07

Hoping OP is ok x

Nanaof1 · 04/07/2023 18:56

It's been 30 days since her first post. I wonder if she will ever be back to update us? If not, I will assume that it was actually negative and she is sadder than she thought she'd be.

I hope you are doing okay, OP.
