Help! Confused, got BFP after my ‘period’

[FernaFrey]

Hi, I wonder if anyone has ever had a similar experience…

I started spotting at 7DPO for a whole week, it was light brown discharge. I tested at 9DPO and it was negative. I tested again at 14DPO and it was negative (although I used a crap cheap test) and then my period arrived that same day. It was definitely lighter, no pain, and lasted 2.5 days. However, I definitely had bleeding and I was wearing tampons!! As I said, was 100% lighter than usual.

Period finished and at CD6 I had tiny spotting again and I thought hmm what is this. I decided to start using OPKs and from CD6-CD10 I’ve had super strong positives. It’s all been very weird and after reading ladies getting BFP after positive OPKS I decided to test and there it is….. BFP!!

Why would I have bled enough to think it was my period? Do you think my line is strong enough? I’m not sold and not getting excited because it’s all a little strange so far.

Getting a blood test on Tues. Really hoping it’s viable because we have been TTC for 15 months and going through IVF.

Thank you xxx

I bled for three days when my period was due and was very surprised later on to find out I was four weeks further on than I thought. That was my first.

With my last baby I had a BFN and was shocked a few weeks later to find out that I had been pregnant. It was unplanned and when I had the negative I went out for a few gins to celebrate with my BFF. Baby was fine though.

This sounds like my first pregnancy op - I had to wear tampons for five days, thought it was a period, but turned out to be my implantation bleed. I bled twice more during the early weeks and went to hosp thinking I was miscarrying but all was fine and my DC is now almost two. Wishing you luck and positivity.

I had something similar with DD1. Took test on the Monday, ridiculously faint line, DH couldn't see it.

Tues got period so thought oh can't be pregnant.

Wednesday felt very odd, took another test BFP.

Carried on bleeding enough to fill a small pad until the Saturday/Sunday. Docs took 2 blood tests at 48 hours apart and HCG rising. DD1 now almost 4.

Now have DD2 didn't have any spotting or bleeding that time.

Sounds good to me if you still pregnant on a test after the spotting. Good luck OP x

This is exactly how mine was when I had an ectopic. I really hope for you that's not the case but I'd ask GP to refer you for a scan to be sure it's in the right place.

Thank you all for your replies, I appreciate it!

Yikes- my HCG came back at 120 for 5 weeks, which I know is not good. Guess I need to see my GP and have a scan next week :(
