Support from other late implanters?!

[mamaatthegym]

Got my BFP at 14dpo (tested up until 12dpo BFN)

Am now 19dpo and tests (internet cheapies) aren’t getting lighter but not getting darker, in fact they are pretty squinty. CB Digi still on 1-2 weeks.

I am pretty sure on my O day (CD19) but could be out by up to 1 day max (no temping but use OPKs with other quite reliable symptoms)

Calculating my possible day late O plus my later than average implantation, my current 19dpo could be more like 16dpo. But still very faint and slow rising HCG (from what my tests look like), for that many days past ovulation.

I’m on an emotional roller coaster at the moment. I go from thinking positively - I’m pregnant for now. Enjoy it. No bleeding/AF. It’s all good! To...I’m completely doomed of course this pregnancy isn’t viable why am I getting my hopes up!

I have DD1 born in 2019 and had my BFP at 12dpo with 2-3 weeks on digi by day of missed AF so she was a strong sticky one clearly.

Don’t really know why I’m posting...to get it off my chest but also see if anyone is/has been in the same boat and what the outcome was.

I don’t think I’ll be having bloods drawn. I’ve had 2 early losses (before DD) and faffed about with bloods and it was all really stressful only to miscarry at the end anyway.

Bump no ones implanted late?? Feel so aloneeeee

Hiya- I don’t know how you can confirm late implantation but I went to an early scan thinking I was 8+1 (from last period )but the baby only measuring 6+1. He said I could have ovulated late but someone else mentioned I could have taken a while to implant as I had a light bleed on 23rd Jan then got my BFP on 26th Jan. I wasn’t testing before that as I didn’t think I was pregnant and thought the bleed was my period but my BFP was very positive. Don’t panic - perhaps you ovulated late etc.. maybe try and book in for early scan as soon as you’re 6 weeks? X

@Brightspark12 thank you for replying I never had any implantation bleeding so I can’t be sure I even implanted late, it’s just the late BFP that got me thinking!
I could have ovulated late but I had all my usual O signs and then didn’t get them again. So I’m sure I would have got my watery CM twice if I ovulated late but never got it after CD19.

I haven’t tested since I posted because they are just staying faint and it’s upsetting me. If I don’t bleed by 6 weeks I’ll book in an early scan.

Did you use a cheapie or another brand?
Thanks again for your input! Xx

Hi! This is me. Think I oved on CD20, so my 'dates' based on LMP are way out. Im going to tell "them" that my LMP was the 16th/17th Jan rather than the actual date (12th) as I know it will make my dates so out on scans and stuff, cant be dealing with the hassel!

Anyway, are you using ICs for yout 'squinters'? Mine are still quite light but I am getting 2-3 on digis now (about 5+1 by my dates), FRERS are super dark. I also have all good 'symptoms' - super sore boobs, feeling nauseas in the morning.

Unless you have any reason to worry then I think you are safe to celebrate! Congratulations! I really dont by into this "dont get your hopes up nonsense", as soon as you see a squint of a line on a test your hopes are already sky high! You might aswell enjoy being pregnant for now, and deal with whatever happens in the future when it pops up.

Goodluck!

Thanks @Braxos this is true, that’s why I’ve stopped testing now. I’m pregnant until I’m not so nothing I can do!

Yes using ICs, I’ll post a pic so you see how faint. This was the last one and still 1-2 on digi and I think I took this at 19dpo (that’s as per my late O date not LMP)

When did your digi turn to 2-3? X

@Braxos I’m glad someone else
Is in the same boat as me! I suppose when you go from LMP date it’s only an estimate and people usually go over. I’m going back for another scan next week of my own accord just to check that baby has grown to 8 weeks (although by my last period ill be 10 weeks)

Just to update if anyone finds this after Googling...my test today at 21dpo is still so faint but no bleeding yet.

I spoke to an EPU nurse who said it won’t be good news with tests this faint for this long. I suspect I’ll get AF/start bleeding soon but will update. If I’m still testing positive in 2 weeks I have to go in.

Hi @mamaatthegym sorry to hear what the EPU said. I am in a slightly different boat but also ov a bit later than typical at cd 17. Like you I don't temp but use OPKs and have reliable symptoms so won't be more than a day out.
My test line at 12dpo was so faint I queried if I had line eye. It was vvv faint but there by 13dpo and slowly got darker but I didn't get 'dye stealers' until like 25 dpos.
Like you I am also in a 2 week wait because despite tests getting very dark eventually an early scan yday showed an empty gestational sac whose size dates it at 6w1d (I dated myself at 6w4d) They expect to see a yolk sac minimum by 6w scan so the absence of it isn't a good sign and is likely a blighted ovum. Need to wait now to see if I bleed or if I make it 2 weeks they do a re-scan.
I really hope this time goes quickly for both of us- it's the limbo of not knowing how/when things will end which is so torturous, so sending you positive vibes and strength

@Makingnumber2 I’m so very sorry you’re going through that. I actually started bleeding this morning (bang on 5 weeks) so that’s the end for me. I do feel like a weight’s been lifted, although sad that I won’t have an Earth baby this time. It’s the being in limbo that’s actually worse. I really hope you get some answers soon sending love x

@mamaatthegym I'm sorry you've started bleeding- I hope it isn't too heavy or painful. I completely understand what you mean when you say it's a weight being lifted despite the sadness and emotional pain of the loss. I think I will feel similarly. Wishing you all the best when you decide to continue with your TTC journey and I hope more than anything you get your rainbow baby x
