Head is frazzled - 13DPO and Frer progressing slowly!

[Tinypeanut1224]

Hi everyone,

Im struggling - I got a vvfl line on a easy@home and Frer 2 days ago (11DPO) and I’ve been testing daily since but my progression is SO SLOW. The easy@home haven’t changed at all and the Frer are slightly darker. I’ve also taken a digital today (13DPO) and it says “not pregnant”.

Bit if back story - I had a successful pregnancy in 2020, then had 3 MCs, then I had a successful pregnancy in 2022 but was on progesterone support. In March this year we decided to try for our 3rd child and I got pregnant immediately after having my coil removed. This ended in a ruptured ectopic at 6 weeks. I had my tube removed in May 2025. I then got pregnant at the end of June 2025 and this was a chemical. I’ve since been prescribed progesterone again and have taken it for 3 cycles. This brings us to now - pregnant again but looking like it could be a chemical again 😭

Im 13dpo and experiencing lots of cramping but no bleeding - but I assume the progesterone will be stopping the bleeding from happening? What should I do?

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. The hope is there because your test is getting darker. I would ring the gp and request 48 hour bloods to check hcg is doubling and explain your history with ectopic xx

What was the outcome of this? Mine is currently like this!

Hi @Penguin181 - Unfortunately this ended in a chemical pregnancy which I think I knew in my heart of hearts at the time. The good news is that I'm pregnant again (the very next cycle) and I've had super dark tests and I'm now 6 weeks. Got my first scan tomorrow so fingers crossed! I really hope you're ok and that your hcg is just slow going. Sending all the love x
