So how pregnant am I??

So confused!
I got a BFP this morning 😃

However, the digital clearblue says 2-3 weeks. I started my period on 1st Sep and lasted 4 days.

According to OPK I had my LH surge on 5th Sep, only 10 days ago! DTD a lot around that time and leading up.

So I'm hoping someone can explain how I can be testing positive already when I'm only 10DPO and not due on for over 2 weeks!

I'm worried it means it's a chemical (although I have lots of early symptoms)

Is be betting that your positive ovulation was actually picking up pregnancy and your period was actually implantation. My implantation bleed with DD2 was like a full, grizzly period.

I hope so, thank you.

I'm at the docs now. EPU were next to useless and told me to take paracetamol and call back if still positive in 5 days.

How did your appointment go?

I'm in a similar boat.

Had a normal-ish period around 22 August for around 5-6 days, not actively trying so didn't dtd again until 12 September - around a week before period was due again. Tested 21 September and I got a very dark line followed by a 3+ result on a digi.

Am thinking there's no way I could have a 3+ only 9 days post dtd, and my August "period" wasn't a period at all.

Hey,

I'm so sorry to say it was ectopic 🙁

I started bleeding last weekend, a and e, and had to have surgery to remove the tube and pregnancy, it was very close to rupturing and I was in agony by the end of the week (wanted to wait until HCG had dropped and tried to manage at home but then it rose so they wanted to operate within hours in the end)

I was about 7 weeks, not 2!

Oh OP I’m so sorry for your loss. A MMC and now a periodic is just so awful I’m so sorry this has happened to you. And the fact the EPU were so useless as well. I had a MMC in July and a MC in 2022 and it’s just devastating. If you haven’t heard of them already, I found a podcast called The Worst Girl Gang Ever so helpful in not feeling so alone and for advice. Sending all the love 💐

*ectopic sorry

@OrchardBlack oh no I’m so sorry. That sounds like a lot to go through. I hope you manage to rest over the coming weeks.

@OrchardBlack so sorry to hear this 😢

The EPU should be ashamed of themselves.

Take it easy x
