So 3rd month ttc.. first two months I was pregnant but had a chemical pregnancy, I am now pregnant third month in a row.. however I’m 13dpo today first proper positive after very faint one yesterday and now I’ve had cramps all day today and now abit of spotting I’m crying thinking it’s going to be my 3rd chemical in a row. Do you get implantation bleeding before or after your positive test?

Hi, as hard as it is I think it’s just too early to know. These early weeks of pregnancy are just waiting to see what happens, and it’s all out of our control. It’s so stressful, but all you can do is test again in a few days time.

I had cramps, then a good positive test a few days later. Confirmed it on a digital test, then started spotting, then bleeding a couple of days later. Already testing negative and this is all within 7 days.

I hope you get good news this cycle

I had it around the same time I had the test when I had my son, that’s a strong positive 🫶🏼✨

santapaws24 · 15/01/2025 16:52

I hope I'm wrong but shouldn't there be a cross on the blue test to be positive? The symbols on the test suggest negative.

Rowen32 · 15/01/2025 16:57

I'm sorry OP but those tests look negative to me..at 13dpo there should be a strong cross in the Clearblue box..
As far as I know HCG only starts rising after implantation so I would imagine bleeding would be before a positive test

Hall24 · 15/01/2025 16:59

that one’s really faint on that test but on the strips there clear positive

Are these the negative tests from today? Are you sure the previous ones taken were positive, I have had lots of dodgy looking lines on these sorts of tests. I would wait until your period is due and then test again, with a digital to be sure.

Sorry looked at the photos wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️

Would you be better off just leaving it for awhile, both testing and TTC, if you have had 2 chemicals in a row in only 2 months of trying

Olika · 15/01/2025 17:07

These 3 tests you posted look all negative, at 13dpo you would expect to see a prober line if it was a positive test. I think you should leave testing aside for a while and only test if your periods don't arrive.

crumblingschools · 15/01/2025 17:10

Also are you reading the tests within the right time period, lines can appear after the time but the tests are no longer accurate

Hall24 · 15/01/2025 17:15

Wow, feel worse than before I put this post on. There’s definitely a line there and within the time frame

I’ve had funny test results with these. Honestly I would step back from the tests for a while as you may be seeing things that aren’t there and working yourself up when there is no need. You’ve only been trying a few months, the average time is a year, you don’t want to be stressing about this every month - stress doesn’t positively affect conception! Try and wait for your period and test when you miss one.

santapaws24 · 15/01/2025 17:22

Gently posting, but read the 1star reviews for this brand of tests on Amazon, lots of understandingly upset women with false positive faint lines.
Not saying yours are, but if you have used them the last three months and got these lines each time, it may mean they were not chemicals but faulty tests.

No not always people can get there 1st faint at 14/15dpo or AF is due, everyone’s cycle is different

Namesy · 15/01/2025 17:37

The pink tests look like faint evap lines as they're grey. The Clear Blue is negative as only one line, not a cross. You're not pregnant this month so this will be a period, not a chemical pregnancy. I understand the feeling though. Edited to add that those strip tests are notorious for convincing evap lines. Start using a First Response test the day after your period is due.

Firefly42 · 15/01/2025 18:36

There's def a line on your most recent test and the second line is red in colour so def not an evap,however I can't see a line on the clear blue&the the other 2 tests look like evaps as the line is grey.

Twaddlepip · 15/01/2025 19:31

The cheap little tests didn’t show as positive for me, even when I was 7/8 weeks. I can’t see a line on the blue one at all. I’m sorry, OP. I hope it’s bad pictures and you get the result you want.

crumblingschools · 15/01/2025 19:44

If I was you OP I would stop spending money on tests and just try and relax through the first few months of TTC, otherwise you are likely to drive yourself mad.

Hall24 · 15/01/2025 20:03

For those that are saying these faint lines are probably Evaps, this was last month at 12dpo as u can see lines are very faint on the strip tests (old now) but u can see clear lines on first response at the same time (I just don’t have any of them this time) so was I not pregnant last month either?

The photo of the first response tests, have you photoshopped them so they are all together, or did you take a photo at the same time?

Hall24 · 15/01/2025 20:06

Also just taken 2 more easy at home and 2 boots strip tests and all came up within time frame and still the same lines on them all

OP posts:
crumblingschools · 15/01/2025 20:07

Why so many tests? At least leave it for a few days

Hall24 · 15/01/2025 20:08

The first response ones are taped into a book per dpo @crumblingschools

OP posts:
crumblingschools · 15/01/2025 20:12

So they are out of timeframe, so can’t rely on them

MummyV2021 · 15/01/2025 20:12

@Hall24 sorry you've had such a mixed response in here lovely! I completely get the multiple tests after your experience the last 2 cycles. Really sorry for what you've been through. I've had similar myself so completely understand and have similar anxiety whenever I see even a hint of a line! I can def see the lines and whilst they're faint it probably means you implanted later. I can't comment on the cramping and spotting as I've never experienced implantation bleeding myself. I would have said before a positive but honestly, who knows how long it takes for the blood to leave your uterus after implantation. Best advice I can give, and I know it's hard, is to wait at least 2 days to test again and try and do it with an FRER if possible. For what it's worth, my cheap strip tests with my little boy were a lot fainter than the FRER. Good luck lovely, take care of yourself and reach out if you need anymore moral support 😘
