Period then 2 weeks later a BFP?

[InTheMountains]

Hi everyone, it’s my first time posting here. I have what I think might be quite an unusual situation. I dtd unprotected a couple of times a month ago with my partner around the time of ovulation. Then two weeks ago I got my period as normal. I was spotting for 4-5 days up to my period. Then about 4 days ago I started spotting mid cycle. I knew I couldn’t possibly be pregnant but I’ve felt off, abdominal cramps, a bit nauseous. I figured I would take a test this evening to rule pregnancy out and then go to the doctor on Tuesday after the bank holiday to find out why I’m spotting irregularly. Anyway, this is how my test came back… I think it’s positive? One line is stronger than the other though. I just don’t know how this is possible! Has anyone experienced anything similar? Thanks all 🥰

Hello, yes definitely positive! That’s what they call a dye stealer- when it’s so positive it takes ink from the control line. I had this when I was about 5-6 weeks. Your “period” could have been implantation bleeding (it can be quite heavy. I would still speak to a dr or midwife about the bleeding though 😊

@Cloud311 thank you so much for your response. I have since done two more tests, including a clear blue digital. And it’s saying I’m 3-4 weeks which I think means 4-5 weeks! I had no idea implantation bleeding could be so heavy, honestly would not have known only for the other symptoms! I spoke with a doctor who said it must have been implantation bleeding! Did you experience the same?

This is also my exact situation. Been TTC since May.
I miscarried in June at 5 weeks. Period came on 21st Oct as expected. Few days ago I just felt off and like I was ovulating with EWCM. Did a OPK and Pregnancy test- was positive. Did two more just to check. I went to EPU yesterday and had bloods. They were 111hcg. Going back in the morning to see if they’ve doubled as expected….

I had implantation bleeding for both pregnancies but not heavy! Must be such a shock for you when you’re convinced it’s your period. Good luck with everything!

@ROZRAX so sorry to hear about your miscarriage ❤️ Wow, it’s obviously more common that people say it is. I won’t be able to book an appointment until Tuesday so waiting it out here! I wish you all the best with your pregnancy x

@Cloud311 thank you so much, what a bizarre Halloween weekend!! 😂

@InTheMountains thank you. My bloods only went to 179 so not doubled. Want me to go back again tomorrow for another repeat. I’m not holding out much hope, if I’m honest. Main worry is ectopic. How you feeling?

@ROZRAX Don’t give up hope yet, I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow ❤️ Mine isn’t until Thursday. I mentioned ectopic to them but they said I would 100% know about it if it was as it can be very painful, bleeding etc. All my spotting has stopped now, only mild cramps. Have you any nausea yet? How many weeks do they think you are?

Thank you- I’m trying not get my hopes up to protect myself,
a think! They said my hcg is closer to 5 weeks where as I know when I ovulated/had sex and I should be more like 6. But as you say never say never. I have no cramping or bleeding. I feel a bit sick but unsure if that’s just anxiety!! Good luck for Thursday x

Hi everyone!
I hope you don't mind me joining the post.

@InTheMountains definitely looks positive, massive congratulations! And I have everything crossed for anyone else who is hoping for some good news this month.

I'm hoping you ladies could give me your opinions please,I'm only 8dpo and I know I shouldn't have tested yet as it's far too early but I did because I've had so many unusual things happening, I couldn't help myself.
I don't know why I did it to myself because now I'm driving myself crazy. I just want a second opinion so I try and turn my brain off from thinking about it. Can anyone else see a very very faint line on this picture? Please be honest, I won't be disheartened, would just be very grateful for a second opinion so I don't find myself looking constantly for something that may not be there.

@Charliexo welcome aboard! 8 DPO is very early, I know it can be so hard to wait if it’s something you’re trying for. I’m not sure I see a line on the test but the image is a bit blurry. If you can, I would probably wait until closer to your due period then test again. Have you been ttc for long? ❤️

@ROZRAX keep us updated won’t you, hope all goes well tomorrow x
