Hi all,
first time on here 👋🏼 we have been ttc for 2 years. I have endo and adenomyosis so have a laparoscopy coming up before Christmas then possible IVF early next year. Obviously hoping to get pregnant naturally before but looks like IVF might be the only way. I’d stopped looking out for symptoms but this month I’ve felt so tired and just different with various small cramps and pains here and there, I do usually get some of these with the endo but not like this and SO much bloating! Because of the symptoms I took tests and all came back positive but at the 40 min mark, I have NEVER had a second line even days later so have been doing a lot of reading and it looks like there just be a small amount of HCG in my wee for it to pick it up. I don’t read in to the myth on evaporation lines as like I said, I’ve done lots of tests and never had a line then to get 5 in one week! 9 dpo I got mild cramps in the evening then 10 dpo I had a day of cramps and quite bad lower back pain, 11 dpo and a bit of back pain and today (12 dpo) I have had cramps and back pain all day and no period. This is unusual for me as I usually get mild cramps the day before my period starts, never had 3 days of cramps and no period! I did an early detection test today and it's negative. Help what do you think!? Period is officially due tomorrow / day after.

I’m Sorry, I really am -and I say this as someone who once spent £70 on HPTs to test during one of my cycles of IVF - but as the lines didn’t come up within the time to read the tests, then you really can’t count them as positive and I think they were evaporation lines.

I hope the lap/treatment helps and you get your BFP without having to go through IVF Flowers
