9DPO - positive is this possible?

[esunny]

Hi everyone!

im 9DPO today and I’ve just tested and I think I’ve got a positive. Unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and my period arrived on time so I’m a bit sceptical this time round. Kicking myself for testing early really. :(

I go from no appetite to absolutely ravenous 😂😂😂 yesterday when i finished work i could have eaten everything in the house but i struggle to eat in the morning, yesterday morning i thought i was going to be sick trying to eat breakfast. Still have such sore boobs and one of my nipples yesterday was so so painful. Still testing positive and got 2-3 wks on the dating test so have everything crossed this is working out xx its sad because I'm still too scared to get excited properly

Oh and the 'mid night insomnia, i go to bed, fall asleep and then wake up at 1/2am and can't get back for 1 or 2 hours then I'm up for work at 5 😂 but i don't mind how many symptoms I have or how much lack of sleep once everything works out 🤞

Oh bless you! I’m the opposite can eat from about 10am but I’m not eating dinner I feel exhausted and so sick from 7pm!!! Omg and the gagging whilst brushing me teeth in the morning is the WORST!

as if your up at 5am! You must be really strong! I get up at 7 an think that’s a struggle!

have you referred to your doctor yet? I’m 4 weeks tomorrow so not sure when to! x

I'm gagging in the mornings while trying to eat breakfast but starving in the evenings 😂 I have nausea in the morning though so I guess trying to eat with that is causing it, the rest of the day I'm fine. I'm booked in with my doctor for Thursday my last AF started on 6th Dec so my app is telling me I'm 4 weeks 5 days today so I'll be 5 weeks when I go to dr. X

My appetite is still reduced. Thankfully haven't been feeling sick. Initially I was worried that that meant things weren't progressing as a lot of people seem to already be experiencing sickness, but then my digital test yesterday came back with 3+ weeks! I'm only 15dpo so hormones must be nice and strong which I'm taking as a good sign.

Booked in with the GP on Monday - will be 5 + 1 by then I think.

Yeah i think everyone's symptoms are so different and some people seem to have none at all so I wouldnt let that worry you. Thats so good x
I havent tested in a couple of days now, dont have any tests and I've been so busy at work to have time to buy any. But my nipples are very tender, sore boobs come and go, slight waves of nausea come and go, cramps and stretching feelings come and go, I also notice my muscles seem to feel "stretched" if i reach up to get anything which is different for me. I'll be 5 weeks today, have my doctor appointment this evening so hoping all goes OK. Looking back on dates I lost the last pregnancy at 5 weeks exactly so today I've been really anxious and worried so far and overthinking every last cramp and twinge even though I've had them since a couple of days after ovulation really on and off x

Hi guys if My period is 9 days away how many days past ovulation

Its different for everyone unfortunately some people have long/short cycles or can ovulate early or late etc x you would only really know if you track your ovulation. There's various methods to track. Theres also symptoms of ovulation too but again that can be different for different people. X

I went to the doctors yesterday I was 4 weeks exact. I was worried about breathlessness but they checked me all over and just waiting on my bloods now next week x

I must ovulate at an unusual time 😂 as I am 5 weeks today but am only 1 day later dpo than you xx
Glad to hear everything is OK 💖 xx the surge in hormones does crazy things doesn't it and then added worry on top probably makes everything feel worse xx

Oh yes how strange!! My cycles are only 25 days so maybe that has a factor too? Xx

Mine are 31 days so that makes sense xx been to the doctor and thankfully she could confirm my pregnancy she pre-warned me before doing the test that their tests are not sensitive so even if it's negative not to worry yet, However as soon as she done the test the positive came up. I'm so happy as this is new for me, by the time I got to the doctor the last time they could not confirm pregnancy using their tests.
She's sent my referral to my local maternity hospital. I am going to book an early scan at 7 weeks just to put my own mind at ease. But this is already a step further than last time so im feeling a little more positive x

How are you doing @esunny? I've had a tough weekend, Friday night i had some light brown spotting after wiping when i used the loo, it happened again Saturday morning first thing but was bright pink, not much and only when wiping, then again Saturday evening brown/red when wiping after using the loo. Nothing since, Called a&e but they said unless I had a lot of bright red blood or was in a lot of pain there was no real point coming in. She said it could be the start of an early miscarraige or it could be totally normal. Still have really sore boobs, tiredness and I'm still testing positive getting "dye stealers" etc.
I'll have to go to my EPU when they open tomorrow, however my local one needs GP referral so I'll need to contact them first. It doesn't feel like my CP (pain wise I have no real pain just the odd cramps/pains coming and going that I've had all along) no idea what to think really. I've only had 3 instances of the spotting and each is after I've used the loo when wiping, nothing on pads/in toilet etc but it has me really worried x

Hello @Applecrumble9 i’m all good thank you I referred myself to the midwife on Friday and saw my GP on Wednesday for some bloods and breathlessness. Im 5 weeks on Wednesday which is still really early but I’m holding hope with my CP happening the day after my expected period last time!

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. It might be nothing! My friend spotted pink when she found out she was pregnant, if it’s not bright red and not like a period I’d try not to worry to much (although I know how hard it is!). If you’ve had no pain either hopefully it’s just your hormones getting used to not having a cycle and being pregnant. If it feels different from your last CP then there’s hope! 🤞🏾plus it’s a good sign it’s only when you wipe, it says online some spotting can be normal when early pregnant, I’d do a test once a week and if it’s still positive then you’re all fine!xx

So sorry to hear this @Applecrumble9. For some reassurance, one of my friends experienced spotting as at around this time and everything was completely fine. It sounded very similar to what you're experiencing. She ended up having a scan and everything was confirmed ok and she now has a beautiful little boy. Fingers crossed that it's the same for you x

Thank you both so much @esunny @ThisOrangeCat I dont know what to think really, its very very light, and mainly brown, with 1 instance of pink. I'll hopefully get to EPU tomorrow but not sure if I'm too early for a scan at 5 wks 3 or 4 days. The waiting around is the worst, my tests are also lot darker now even since bleeding started, so its just hard to know. But I guess I'll see tomorrow, I still have all my symptoms so hoping thats a good sign.
Glad to hear all is going well 💞

I’ve had awful low back ache today and like a stabbing dull pain on my outer right thigh. It’s been quite distracting. Have you all had any symptoms? I’m 5 eeeks in a day or two xx

My main symptom is mainly tiredness. I was a bit concerned as other symptoms seemed to be reducing or fluctuating - I had really sore boobs a couple of days ago but barely anything now. But I spoke to my GP today and he advised that there was nothing to worry about as hormones fluctuate so much, and breast tenderness I'm particular will come and go. Tests are still positive and RHR still elevated. Waiting for the symptoms to really get started...

@esunny I'm having a scan at my EPU tomorrow, it may be too early to see anything but they will scan anyway due to the spotting. I have no lower back pain, but for sure have had pains in my thighs mainly the tops of my thigh and hips especially when lying in bed. My boobs are very sore and nipples v sore too. Nausea comes and goes, sometimes I wonder if the nausea is anxiety. I'm extra tired too struggle to stay awake past 9pm weekends included so DH is over the moon with that 🤣😅 I'm waiting on my blood hcg results but its only the first result so won't tell much x

@ThisOrangeCat @Applecrumble9 it must just be fluctuating hormones! It’s crazy how I read into everything. Currently in bed already 🤣 my tiredness is through the roof and I hope this hip/ thigh pain stops soon! @Applecrumble9 good luck for your scan! Let us know how you get on xx

Thank you xxx my hcg bloods are over 10,000 so im hoping at 5 wks 4 days thats good, but i guess until the next set is done in 48hrs we won't know for sure. But hopefully since they are high they will see something on the scan xx
Yes I could gladly get to bed at 8pm each night 😅 the hormone fluctuations are crazy for sure. I've had the thigh pain for a couple of days, but it comes and goes, definitely worse in bed at night x

So I've been to the EPU today, had an internal ultrasound she did try external but its too soon so that wasnt working at all, the tech said i was measuring at 5 weeks, going by my dates I would be 5 weeks 4 days today so that's not too concerning as implantation/ovulation dates etc can be a little out i guess. Could see gestational sac and yolk sac and by my googling (torturing myself) afterward both seem to be within size range for my dates.
No foetal pole or heartbeat yet but the tech said she wasn't expecting those yet as its too early so I need to return again after 14 days. She stated that basically they do not know if the pregnancy is viable as its just too soon. The midwife and ultrasound tech both said my hcg was quite high at over 10,000 for 5 weeks however a single hcg result alone doesn't tell us much, and they have not asked me to repeat it. The gynae said the shape of the gestational sac looked good etc but stated again that really theres no way of knowing anything for another 2 weeks when they can compare to this scan. So I guess it's a waiting game, midwives didn't seem to be concerned by the colour/amount etc of my spotting, gynae stated it could be implantation bleeding (however I don't know if it's too late for that) ultrasound tech said the bleeding can go one of 2 ways really.
I have quite strong period like cramps but none of them seemed overly concerned by this and said it can be totally normal but just have to wait and see. So really all I know for now is that I've gotten a lot further along than I did the last time at 5 weeks 💕
Hope you are doing well girls xx

Aw I’m glad it went well for you. It sounds very promising. I hope you feel much better after going and finding out all that info, try to relax and chill your mind🩷

So glad you've got that reassurance and that things are looking positive.
Ive got an early scan a week on Monday, should be 7+1 by then I think.
I've started to get really bloated and just a little nausea in the evenings.

I got a strong positive on day 9! I did end up miscarrying but not until 10 weeks so it wasn’t a chemical!
