@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 the 3+ weeks result is more accurate, so maybe you could wait until you're confident you should get that one, around 3 or 4 days past 5 weeks maybe? That should put your mind at rest (until the next worry) 🤣

So, AF started late on Thursday night and continued Friday and Saturday but I've had absolutely nothing today. This is really unusual for me as AF usually lasts 5 days. I'm wondering if I should contact my GP for advice? Has anyone had this before and all been okay?

So i took another test today and its still saying 1-2 weeks? I dont want to stress about things that i dont need to but does that seek right? I got a positive ovulation test 17 days ago - are those weeks tests accurate?

During my first pregnancy I didn't test again as I found it si nerve-wracking 🙈 I'd leave it another couple of days and test again. I'd think the test is maybe just a little out? Hoping all is well🤞🏼

GrizzlyTheBear · 25/05/2025 17:36

@Adca yes, I've had a randomly light/short period on occasion. I assume it's fine unless it happens again next cycle and is a pattern. If it does start happening every month it's probably worth going to your GP and saying your periods have suddenly changed significantly - I guess they'd want to rule out things that could cause this. But as a one off I personally wouldn't bother. I am not a doctor though!

SureLook · 25/05/2025 17:54

@Adca I'd be thinking along the same lines as @GrizzlyTheBear as random cycle I wouldn't be worried but watch out if it begins a pattern. I'd say just make a note of it.

Thanks @GrizzlyTheBear@SureLook. I think I need to try to chill a bit 🙈

😂 I love that everyone understands it here! @SureLook

HopefulCove · 26/05/2025 13:26

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 how far along do you think you are? Based on LMP etc?

@Adca I honestly turn into a crazy person when TTC, over thinking every single symptom and always ending up diagnosing myself with something ridiculous 🤣🙈

HopefulCove · 28/05/2025 18:23

Hey! How is everyone feeling? ☺️

SureLook · 28/05/2025 19:03

@HopefulCove I was just about to post in and see how everyone is doing! All good here, thanks. I got my dye stealer so I'm gonna stop testing like a psycho 😂 I'm getting more tired now during the day. How are you?x

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 28/05/2025 19:13

Hey ☺️ - im 5 weeks tomorrow! Ive booked a reassurance scan for the end of June - i should be 9 weeks by then. Im so tired! I could nod off in the day but im waking up in the night and lay awake !

SureLook · 28/05/2025 19:15

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 same! I'm nearly nodding off during the day but waking during the night and wide awake every morning before 6am 🥴 no problems falling asleep though but still 😂

GrizzlyTheBear · 28/05/2025 19:21

I'm six weeks and still not a sniff of a symptom. Nausea is usually my first symptom around 6 weeks so anytime now, but it has got less and less severe with every pregnancy so if it doesn't come I won't know if that's a bad sign or if it's just got really mild this time iyswim.

I've been knackered with girls and not so tired with boys... Maybe you're having girls @VanessaShanessaJenkins99 and @SureLook !

SureLook · 28/05/2025 19:53

@GrizzlyTheBear hopefully you escape the nausea this time and all is well 🤞🏻

I remember being very tired in my pregnancy with DD. Out cold, dead to the world 😂 no sickness though which I know they say is typical if it's a girl.

OP posts:
VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 28/05/2025 20:07

Ah fingers crossed @GrizzlyTheBear that you dont get the sickness ! My skin is terrible! Ive got spots like a teenager!

GrizzlyTheBear · 28/05/2025 20:15

Oh good grief it's awful isn't it. Spotty, knackered, pukey. Why oh why can't men take their turn?

SureLook · 28/05/2025 20:17

As my friend always says - it's a man's world 😂

How many weeks are you?

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 29/05/2025 08:57

So i took another weeks digital this morning - i should be 5 weeks exactly and its still saying 1 - 2 weeks :( I am so upset. I dont know where to go from here - do i just wait it out? Surely in the next few weeks if it isnt progressing then i will start to bleed?

HopefulCove · 29/05/2025 09:32
