Iāve been TTC for three and a half years we have āunexplained infertility' Iāve not been ovulating I gave up tracking and trying around three months ago because Iām just so stressed tense and anxious with it all. Ive been feeling pretty off and just meh so I done a first response early test Saturday night it was negative (top)
Sunday morning I done the first response rapid test it was negative (middle)
Was on the phone to the IVF clinic (we were told this was pretty much our only option) starting to plan our journey and decided just to do the last test I had which was the first response digital one on the Monday after work around three/four oāclock because I was still feeling off and the digital was positive! Every day since Iāve tested using the strip tests (donāt have pictures) they come up a faint positive straight away but almost completely disappears after about a minute. Iām so confused and donāt know what to do or think. Yesterday I had a slight bleed after I done a pee I wiped and there was what looked like fresh red blood nothing on my underwear so put a pad on just incase and when I went to pee a few hours later I had the smallest amount of blood on the pad and that was it nothing else. This morning I went for a pee and there was a slight pink tinge but thatās it nothing since. My head is fried and I know triage where I am from says to wait three week and test again but Iām so scared like genuinely petrified. Sorry for the long post and thank you for any help. Xx

Which DPO are you? This sounds more like a chemical to me. Sorry about that.

I donāt have a regular period which makes it all 10x worse. Thank you for taking time out youāre day to help me try make sense of things. It really means a lot. Xxx

If youāre pregnant (and itās viable) the tests would get darker and darker very quickly over 1-2 daysā time. I have had several chemicals & 4 pregnancies so enough observations I think⦠Good luck and stay positive xx

thank you so so much for youāre help it really means a lot. Iām so sorry to hear you have experience it I had a chemical pregnancy in March and itās horribleš¤

So sorry to hear youāre going through this. I would continue to test & see if the lines get darker and keep monitoring the bleeding to see if there are any changes / it gets heavier. Iām currently experiencing a chemical pregnancy & although my lines did get darker, they did so very slowly before turning extremely faint & then basically disappearing at around 16DPO. Really hope this is not what youāre going through & that you have a different & more positive outcome to me š

Iām so sorry to hear that Brooke sending lots of love and hugs. My bleeding my bleeding was only on the toilet paper when I wiped after I done a pee, put a pad on and when I went to pee a few hours later there was only a small amount on the pad and nothing when I wiped. I then changed it and went to bed and there was nothing when I woke up and then done a pee wiped and there was the slightest pink colour on the tissue. Head is all over the place but I will definitely buy more tests to track it any suggestions which ones would be best to use? Thank you for sharing with me and I wish you all the best š¤ xxx

thank you so much! It can be so difficult to stay positive but hoping we get our rainbow baby soon āŗļø keeping everything crossed for you that everything is well & keeps progressing as it should ā¤ļø it can be such a worrying time when itās too early to have a scan for reassurance & the only advice is to keep testing & waiting it out. I personally found the First Response Early Result tests the best & from what I have heard / seen, they give very clear positives and it should be very obvious on the test if your Hcg is doubling every 48 hours as it should be. The Easy@Home ones are also good and a lot cheaper if you are taking multiple tests to check progression š xxxx

What strip tests did you use xx
