Hello, I've been TTC for 7 months now, my period was due tomorrow but I had some weird light brown and pink bleeding for 5 days this week. It was very light and sometimes not there at all, it could also be a bit (TMI) stringy/Gloopy, which I wouldn't have thought was implantation bleeding?
I've been feeling nauseous for a few days and took some tests yesterday and today all.with faint lines, see below.
Anyone any experience with this? Does it seem like a chemical pregnancy?
FYI the third test down in multiple pic I realised I only held in pee for 10 instead of 20 seconds when I re read the instructions. 🙈

All look positive to me!

Gunpowder · 18/02/2024 15:57

Didn’t even have to click on the picture to see the lines. Congratulations!

SF89 · 18/02/2024 16:22

Oh whow really? I'm just concerned re the bleeding and lines not being as dark as they were with my first pregnancy! I guess they will hopefully get darker over the next few days.

All positive, congratulations!! Those lines look dark enough to me to say your are not due on till tomorrow!

Sounds very like implantation to me.

Hi OP @SF89 I got my BFP last week day period was due and lines were faint like yours (first 2 pics). Did a digital following morning with FMU and got a positive 1-2 weeks pregnant 🥰

i retested this Friday 3 days after initial BFP just to check and line had got darker (last pic). So don’t worry about line being faint. I think I (and maybe you too) just implanted late!

Thanks so much for this. Very reassuring, I'm going to test again in the morning so fingers crossed!

So just an update, this is my test this morning and also a pic of it beside my last test from yesterday, I'm so confused because I was so ready to see a much clearer line, this doesn't look promising does it?

@SF89 that looks good to me! Mine honestly didn’t progress much until 3 days later. Congrats that is deff a line!

TheShellBeach · 19/02/2024 09:56

Are you still bleeding?

Eeeeeek I can't let myself get my hopes up yet. I'm at work today so that's a good distraction, I'll hold off testing again till tomorrow morning and cross my fingers it gets at least a bit darker!

Your test looks very similar to my test a couple of weeks ago. That test has now progressed to the one I took yesterday.

Your test is definitely a positive result. Huge congratulations to you!!! 😁🥳

This is really promising to me thank you! I have sent my husband out to get a digital one to do tomorrow to put my mind at ease!

I'm going to say this as a hypocrite, but try and not get hung up on the tests. I've been in the situation where my tests have looked perfect, and I've still ended up miscarrying or with an Ectopic.

A digital result is great, but the tests won't guarantee anything other than the fact that you're pregnant right now.

I say I'm a hypocrite because I keep testing, even though I KNOW I'm pregnant. I feel reassured when I see those lines. It's a very silly process considering what I'm advising you.

How are you feeling otherwise? ☺️

I know it's so hard not to worry, I don't think I will feel reassured till I see a heartbeat on a scan. I think I will probably book one for about 7 weeks.

I've just been feeling nauseous all day pretty much for the past 3 days, which I'm hoping is a good sign
How are you feeling ? I'm sorry to hear you've had previous loss.

Just to update the cheapy digital showed negative but still and a line on a normal so I got a clear blue and held off peeing for the morning 🙈 I know it's obsessive but I just know I feel pregnant!

Very relieved to get the positive on CB that matches my date calculations

Huge congrats OP @SF89 !

Your lines on the second strip test photo of your post today look just like mine did. Possibly even darker! And I got a 1-2 week digital day after AF was due. Congrats !

i don’t think it’s obsessive, but maybe that’s because I am being obsessive too 🤭

i plan to check with a digital potentially next week. Just to make sure it’s gone to 2-3 weeks at least!

how many DPO / days after AF due are you now?? I’m 5 weeks today 🥰

Thank you!! I'm being cautious with my optimism though and will probably do the same as you and test with a digital next week!
So I think I am 15 DPO! My period was due yesterday so does that make me 1 or 2 days after AF?
I think I am 4 weeks 4 days and due 25th October according to my apps lol you must be due the week before me!

That's really good news!

(BTW you're 4 weeks and 1 day if you're 15dpo)

@SF89 im due 23rd Oct :)
my AF was due a week today, 13th Feb

Ohh really? How does that work when my last period started 19th Jan? I think I'm a late ovulator?

Oh I see. By LMP you're 4 + 4 but if you're 15dpo you're 4 +1.

It's kind of irrelevant because your dating scan at 12 weeks will give you a more accurate EDD. Just ignore me lol!
