11DPO - is this a squinter?😬

[HopefulTTC2024]

Hi everyone - I’m quite new to this game so would love some help if possible!
I’m 11DPO this morning and took this test (it’s a 10mIU test from Amazon). This is the test after 5 mins.
Is this a squinter or am I getting false hope? Can I test again this evening if I hold my pee a few hours?

@Sbella13 it's so hard to say really - I do, but they're different from when I was pregnant in December so I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

I have a very strong cramping/pressure on one side which comes and goes, and my left boob feels 'fuzzy' 😂 it's so hard to explain! i also have really bad lower backache which almost makes it difficult to walk straight at times.

In December I was constantly tired, mildly nauseous and a bit achey but my boobs were also total agony. It was actually one of the signs I was miscarrying - I woke up and everything had stopped, started bleeding a couple hours later.

God I hope this sticks!

@Sbella13 it's nice to have a companion in a simple position here :)

That was supposed to say similar! Not simple!

@GoldDustWoman90 I've been having that exact same symptom with my boobs.... it's predominantly the left one and occasionally the right one, they don't hurt, they feel sensitive and you've described it perfectly with the word fuzzy! How strange 🤣 I guess you're happy with how you're feeling right now then, I think there's something nice about having some symptoms because it makes you feel connected to the feeling of being pregnant in some way?

I pray that this sticks for you! I agree it's so nice to be able to have other people going through the same thing. Reminds you that you're not alone at such an uncertain time 😊 x

Today is officially the first day of my missed period and the tests are even lighter than before…. Stopping testing as of now to let nature run its course. Seeing the tests as barely even positive hurt but whatever is meant to be will be 😔

Ah @Sbella13 I'm sorry I don't know what's happening but I'm hoping it's just a testing blip rather than anything bad, no period is a good thing. Keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

Ahh bless you, I appreciate you thinking of me @Impatient1987. Would love to know what’s going on but either way the testing is doing me no good so I have to stop. Have noticed some blood today. One tiny spot of brown old looking blood this afternoon and then a very pale pink tinge on wiping this evening as opposed to af. Hoping this is linked to the fact I’m in early pregnancy but who knows really. Keep me updated on how you go please 🥰 x

Yes I have the same, pink when I wipe, it's still going but so light! Giving up testing is the best thing to do ❤️

@Impatient1987 glad to hear I’m not alone and I think you’re right, it’s for the best. It just takes a hold over you! Not long to go until your scan now 🥳🥰xx

I've started getting pink when I wipe now 😕 I finally took a test that wasn't an early response one (level of 25 HCG required rather than 10...) and it was faintest line ever.

I'm not sure what to make of it. Either my HCG is the right level to have a strong line on early response and faint line on a standard, or the bleeding means it's dropping and I'm miscarrying.

This is all so shit. Back to back chemicals.

@GoldDustWoman90 so sorry to hear this. Not all bleeding means bad things and it could just be that your hcg hasn’t risen enough yet. I’m in the same boat as you at the moment. I’ve no clue what’s happening with my body and being in limbo is just the worst 😔 Sending you baby dust x

Have been bleeding a lot today. Started out with a tiny amount on wiping this afternoon and has gradually increased. Still only visible upon wiping as opposed to ‘bleeding’ and the blood is very dark brown in colour. Totally unsure on what’s happening to my body right now. Trying my best to stay positive but the reality is that it’s probably over for me this month 😔 Hope everyone else is good x

@Sbella13 i was just re reading the messages on the thread and I saw that early on in the thread you did a Clear Blue test with the weeks indicator. Would you consider doing another one just to see is there any improvement? Sometimes the line tests just don’t cut it! I’m so sorry you’ve been having some bleeding, hopefully it turns out to be nothing 😢😢

@Rose38 how are you doing?? Xx

@Cosyclothes im really hoping it’s a case of my lines just not corresponding with where I’m at 🙏 I think if I make it to Saturday and this bleeding hasn’t amounted to anything I will take another digital just to be sure. The blood is only there on wiping which isn’t how my standard af goes but that doesn’t mean to say it won’t change over night so we will see 🤞 How are you? X

@Cosyclothes I've finished bleeding so will hopefully carry on ttc. I don't really want to put a pause on things. My husband and I have started taking Pregnacare conception his and hers so 🤞 that makes a difference.

Currently taking antibiotics for a sinus & ear infection. I have no idea if the illness has made me miscarry but the infections seem to have hit me hard.

Also I have bacterial vaginosis...I read online that that can sometimes cause miscarriages. I've been using Canebalance for that the last couple of days.

How are you doing?

@Sbella13 Any change? 🤞 things go well for you.

@Rose38 hopefully the vitamins give you both a bit of a boost and help your chances of February being your month 🤞

im bleeding pretty heavily today. Assuming I’ve had a chemical…. Done a test this morning and there is still a faint line but I imagine that will just disappear soon x

Hi guys just a little update on me,

I started bleeding and have been an emotional mess crying every day thinking I'm miscarrying. I've been taking tests and todays one is this one below

I'm still bleeding but it's not heavy or with clots it's just like heavy spotting, I have a scan on the 9th and I'm so impatient I just want to know everything is okay

@elle123355 i had been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing. I think it’s normal to be in a state of confused emotion during this time bless you. I’ve read so many posts and google pages that say bleeding is quite normal during early pregnancy so I’m sure that’s the case for you and it’s looking good that your tests are still coming out so strong! The 9th sounds so far away but it will soon come around. Is that with the nhs or is it a private one you’ve booked yourself?

I’ve also been bleeding heavily since about 11pm last night. I tested again with a strip test this morning and it was v v faint and I’ve just done another test which again is faint but the line is still there so my very confused too. I woke up thinking it must be my period and was in the mind set of ‘that’s it all over’ but now the tests have just made my head a huge mess 😵‍💫😩 is it possible that I am still pregnant!? It’s awful being in limbo like this X

@Sbella13 as hard as it is step away from the tests for 2 days, a week if you can and test again.
It's just torture, I totally get it but give your hormones some time.
If youre in any pain pls call your gp though 💗💗
Sending you so much luck xxxx

When I had my chemical pregnancy I had to wait a week for bleeding to start which was torture. Really different symptoms to you, I rang my doc and they said to wait a week and then test. Xxx

@Fingerscrossed88 thankyou for your advice lovely I think I really have got to step away from testing and let my body run its course now because it’s causing me to go through all of the emotions without knowing what the answer is! I’m not in any pain thankfully it’s just a lot of bleeding. Sorry to hear you went through a chemical 😢 that can’t have been easy for you. How are you doing now? Xx

I feel okay about it all now, I think it will make me nervous next time I'm pregnant but I see it as you know you can conceive.im def not testing early this month and waiting atleast till I'm a week late.
See what happens in a week and if I was you and you get a postive in a week try get an appointment to put your mind at ease 💓

@Sbella13 we all know (including you!) that you should stop testing, but we all know we'd also be testing just as much as you are!! Do don't beat yourself up too much of you cave. This is a horrendous situation and it's much worse than a simple negative result 😢 I really hope that this is just standard pregnancy bleeding. I spotted for 4weeks with my first and I've been spotting for about a week now. I've read so many posts about people who assume it's AF and wasn't. The waiting is the worst, sending love ❤️

I've been crying every day, the tests are darker post bleed so I'm taking that as something good as long as it's getting darker I'm sure that means it's a good thing right ?

The 9th is so far away and no other private places do it any earlier unfortunately x
