So as the title suggests I'm really confused.
I had several very faint positives at 10 + 11 dpo on a 10 mIU using FMU then my period came and i bled normal for 6 days (a day longer than my usual)
Went to do my 1st OPK today at CD7 and it was extremely dark.
It prayed on my mind all evening so did a hcg and its dark positive on a 25mIU i. The evening after like a one hour hold?!?
Did a digital and says pregnant.

Please see your doctor right away as it could be a pregnancy in the wrong place which is very serious.

Thank you for your reply.
I called the early pregnancy unit, they didn't seem too concerned.
Said that as tests are darker and iv had no cramping and pain, iv to take another test in a weeks time and if still positive then to contact my community midwife.
If I have more bleeding or any discomfort then they will take me in for a scan.
Looks like it could go either way but they said nothing would be seen on scan.

Okay, I truly hope all is well. Please get a scan as soon as you can. I had absolutely no pain whatsoever and my hormones were increasing just not as quickly as they should have been. I’m not sure where you live but in Canada any bleeding during pregnancy (not spotting but bleeding) is taken very seriously. If you live somewhere else it may not be as convenient for you as majority of our healthcare is covered

Thank you.
I am in the UK so all covered by NHS.

Just updating thread incase anyone else has similar.
Tests continued to progress then after two weeks i got another small bleed on wiping accompanied by a sharp pain.
I went to early pregnancy until who confirmed an pregnancy of unknown location (PUL)
They did bloods and repeat scans and everything was rising as it should but i kept getting pain.
5 days later they took me down for laparoscopy to find a partially ruptured ectopic.

You are not alone. I had my left tube removed last year and currently waiting in the hospital to take the methotrexate shot.

@Brianna4kd , sorry to hear that.

Methotrexate wasn't an option for me as already had free fluid but I really hope that it resolves things for you safely.

It's such a mix of emotions.
Thinking about you x

Hey! Sorry to read about your ectopic. Almost exactly the same thing happened to me. Faint faint bfp, a "period", then a darker bfp. It was ectopic too, lots of fluid in the abdomen. Not particularly painful. Anyway, just wanted to let you know in case you want to try again, I'm now coming up for 14wks pregnant, conceived 2nd cycle.x
