Is this a vvvfl or false positive?

[Butterfly8719]

Hi all, hoping for some help. I’ve been TTC 6 years and have had 3 failed rounds of ivf. I’ve had a bit of a cold and been feeling dizzy from 6-8dpo. I am only 9dpo and did a test with second urine of the day - confirmed 9dpo as I used ovulation sticks. Is this a positive or am I too early to get excited? Never seen a positive in 6 years xxx

Thank you @Butterfly8719 I hope so too! AF due today but have been too scared to test. This evening have had cramps and spotting (unusual for me) so your post @TingeOGinge just now has reassured me. Keeping my fingers crossed xx

Oh I know this feeling of not wanting to test and staying in the hope bubble. Did af arrive? Fingers crossed for you xxxx

To those who are experiencing cramps. I believe this is perfectly normal. I had them when first pregnant with my son (I'd had a couple of miscarriages before him so was pretty worried). My midwife told me that this is just your uterus getting ready to grow your baby! I also had spotting, again my midwife said that spotting was nothing to be concerned about. Anything more than spotting needs checking out asap, though. My son is 20 next month so my midwife was spot on. I had a couple of miscarriages after my son and then at the age of 36 entered early menopause so it was just the one for me.

Haha, just reading back after posting. @TingeOGinge you could be me!!

How are you feeling @Butterfly8719? How are all of you ladies doing?

I did test and got a VFL! But then the cramps became horrendous, followed by red blood about 12-14 hours later 😔 So it's happened again. This is a little different to the first one though! My period is also super light and like clockwork, so I think I'm still in shock xx

@Butterfly8719 congratulations this is lovely news and made and made my day. I had cramps for 3 weeks with DS.

Oh I’m so sorry, that’s just shit! I hate it when that little bit of hope gets crushed ☹️ sending love. I feel ok, starting to get some sickness now so starting to feel a bit more real. The ladies perfume at the train station was making me gag 😄 xx

Thank you @Butterfly8719 🤍 Eeeek, this is so exciting. What weeks are you now? Did you say you'd booked an early scan? xx

I’m 4w3d, so definitely still so so early 🥹 my first scan will be week after next! I need to book it actually. Nervous/excited!! X

So exciting @Butterfly8719! I bet you can't wait for the scan! You'll have to make sure you let us all know how it goes xx

Can I tempt you with a Clearblue weeks indicator!?

😂 yes I am going to do this on Friday! I’m away atm and didn’t pack any tests lol. Thank god. TBC!!

Just got 2-3 weeks on the clear blue weeks indicator, I ‘should’ have 3+ weeks early next week. I’ve been having pretty consistent cramps in my left side and am a little worried. I did have a cyst removed around 10 weeks ago, so could be that. Hoping nothing bad 🥹 x

Yay, congratulations @Butterfly8719 😍😍 Sounds great so far. Might just be your body doing its thing (bubba could have implanted that side too). Did you book your scan? How are you feeling? xx

@Niiina i hope so, it can get quite intense at times. I feel ok, I had waves of nausea this week which seems to have gone now, so just hoping that’s because I’m early and symptoms come and go. Boobs are super super sensitive. I still don’t have a dye stealer on wandfo though!! Will show you.

@Niiina was kind of hoping 20dpo would be darker, will test again tomorrow at 22dpo xx

@Butterfly8719 it sounds positive. They say your body is expanding and preparing for baby, so sounds like your uterus is getting ready 🥰🤞🏼 And boob sensitivity sounds positive too!

The line progression looks great 😍😍 But I am completely with you on being a little doubtful or cautious 🤍 Hopefully you'll start to feel more reassured as time goes by xx

Honestly, my wondfos never got super-dark. Maybe they use less ink? 2-3 is perfect xx

I’ve just started brown spotting 😟 I’m a bit worried as I feel my tests aren’t progressing either and boobs feel less sore. X

Praying all will be well x

Don't panic.
Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was expecting DD2.

I was sure it was curtains, but all was well.

Thank you for being reassuring. I just have this horrible gut feeling x

This was my test this morn at 24dpo, I thought if my hcg was doubling it would have been much stronger. Most people have the test line darker than the control, and I can’t see any different between todays and 2 days ago, so this plus symptoms stopping and spotting, I’m feeling very negative 😕

@Butterfly8719 how many weeks would you be now? I honestly had brown spotting on and off until 14 weeks and all was fine. Also whenever I thought my symptoms had gone they would come back with a vengeance!

I’m only 5w2 days. Just worried about the tests as I am 24dpo. Hoping they come back but starting to get cramps today xx
