Confused! Period now fain positives

[farmmumtomillie]

So my cycles are all over the place 25-33 days but my most common cycles length seems to be 27 days i think 🤷‍♀️

Anyways... I got my period cycle day 29 after 3 days of spotting. Really dark red and even back and clotty to start then normal ish. Then 3 days of spotting
No usual pms symptoms (no spots, hardly any cramps etc) Finished spotting 19th.
Started spotting again eve of 21st and then throughout yesterday.
Been getting period cramps since i finished AF
Seriously heightened sense of smell, pulling and tight feels in my tummy, achy lady bits, taste buds are all over the place etc
So i took a cheapie and really really faint line appeared (3rd morning urine) so i dipped another cheapie brand in and again a faint line appeared but lighter than the other. Now the first one has dried it's super dark and the other is drying so much darker too
I'd be about 5 weeks so surely the lines would be glaringly obvious by now? Or did i maybe have a CP again and it's taking a while for the hormones to disappear?

Or just two unlucky evaps?

Not sure why the uploaded blurry 😫

Trying again

When that happened to me it was a CP - red bleeding that definitely required a liner. It looked like a normal AF, but not quite like my normal AF, which is what made me test (I hoped maybe it was implantation) but I got a positive which faded over a few days to nothing. Also in my experience, if the lines don’t darken each day on a FRER it’s a bad sign for me whether 4 weeks or further.

My only advice would be to give it 2/3 days and then test with a FRER or something (I’ve never found cheapies helpful or reliable personally, didn’t get a positive one until 6 weeks with this pregnancy despite 3+ on a digi!) and go from there.

If it is a CP it’ll come back negative by then, or if it’s not a CP and you just bleed then it’ll come back positive and you can go from there. Evaps are unlikely, and 2 in a row is even more unlikely so probably not that.

Best Wishes, OP.
