BFP at 9 Weeks Gone [shock]

[LetsDoThisAgain]

We've been TTC. I haven't had a period in over 2 months. When my period was late in March I took urine tests at home at 4 days, 7 days, 10 days, and 14 days late. Blood test at 10 days. All negative.

I wondered if my missed period was down to having been Very ill for 3 weeks or showing signs of a thyroid problem after pregnancy.

Going on holiday next week so decided to take another test to see if I'm clear to drink on holiday.

BFP at 4:45 in the morning. So only mocktails for me.

I just can't believe my first trimester is almost over without me even knowing I was pregnant. It does explain my exhaustion though and sudden dislike of walking. I just thought it was because I'd returned to work around the same time.

congratulations! I went away right after getting my bfp and because I notified the midwife on the referral form she called me and gave me a few pointers and advice so worth contacting them if you have time!

You might not be 9 weeks - you could have ovulated much later than you normally would. I’d ask epau for a scan to check

what date was your negative blood test?

As others said you might not be 9 weeks. Only a scan can confirm that.

I got a BFP nearly two weeks after my period was due, after lots of negatives. Turns out it was ectopic.

I am not saying that is going to happen to you, it's hugely unlikely. But please do get a scan to confirm your dates.

You could have missed your ovulation date because of being unwell and ended up with an anovulatory cycle. Given you had a negative blood test 10 days late for your cycle you really should have got a positive result if you were already pregnant. I would say it’s more likely that you’ve missed a cycle and are nearer 5 weeks than 9.

I've had a scan now, baby is measuring at 6 weeks, so I must have ovulated a few days after my period was meant to have started. I've never had that happen before so I'm a bit puzzled as to why it did. 🤔

It does mean having to wait longer for CVS testing though which sucks and constant worry I'll miscarry.
