11 DPO - Faint Line Progression but Bad Cramps

Hi all,

I’m currently 11 DPO and my period is due in 2 days. I’ve been testing and wanted to get some opinions because I’m feeling a bit worried (I had a chemical pregnancy last month so I’m extra cautious this time).

At 9 DPO (evening) I noticed a shadow line but brushed it off, thinking it was a faulty Boots test or indent.
At 10 DPO, I tested again using the Sainsbury’s brand and saw another shadow line - again, I assumed it was nothing.

This morning (11 DPO), I tested again using the same Sainsbury’s brand, and the shadow line has become a vvvvvfaint line but definitely more noticeable than yesterday’s.
Can anyone else see it? I’m not sure if I’m imagining it at this point!

Symptom-wise, I’ve had:

• Constant bad cramps since yesterday (feels like my period is about to start)
• Lower back pain
• Hot flushes for a few days

Has anyone else had this and gone on to get a BFP after cramping like this? Or should I prepare myself for another chemical? Would love to hear your experiences 💛

My image is under review. Hopefully it’ll show up soon.

Ah thank you, that makes me feel a bit better! It’s so hard to trust my eyes at this point because it’s still so faint, but I do think it’s got a bit more colour than the last few days. Just hoping it keeps getting darker now 🥰

Just thought I’d share an update. After my faint line early this morning, I tested again with a clear blue digital and it was positive! 🎉 However, I’m still feeling a bit skeptical because AF is due either tomorrow or day after. So I’ll celebrate properly when AF doesn’t show up this week! 🤞🏼 (Also worth noting, my cramps are easing up a bit now)
