15dpo faint positive? Line eyes please!!!!

[emcayo]

Been spotting very lightly for three days, no period yet. Please tell me if you see something or if I'm just crazy. Have some cramping today, temp went up by two degrees. Officially 15 dpo, unless I ovulated later than I thought (but I had OPK + and temp rise!). Please tell me what you think! Kind of freaking out over here. This photo is now edited and I can clearly see the line! Going to do a pink test tomorrow morning.

I definitely see a line there, but those blue dye tests are awful, it’s hard to tell sometimes whether it’s an evap line or genuine line I would get a decent pink dye test like a first response early result and test again in the morn x

 

[Kitana]

I can see a line as well! Get a pink dye test as well!
Congrats!

 

[firstfreakout]

That's definitely a line Congratulations!

 

[IVW]

Definitely a line but I will echo what the girls above have said and get a pink die test, just for that confirmation

I can see that without zooming in congrats!!

I had one potential + with a dollar store pink test, but the two this morning were BFNs as far as I can see. I'm now five days late, with five days really light brown spotting. Should I just go and buy an expensive test? My chart is attached. Does day 15 look like my O day? Or do you think it was later and that's why I'm getting such faint tests? I wish I could just know for sure. Grumble.

Looking at your chart I'd guess CD14/15 as O day but I don't know, I've always found charting a bit unreliable.
I'd buy an expensive test as cheapo ones can give false positives. I'm sorry to be blunt but it sounds like this brown blood is probably either a weird period or a chemical pregnancy. If you're 5 days late you should be getting pretty clear positives by now.

 

[Kitana]

I'd say CD15 since the following 3 temps are high. How long is your cycle normally?x

 

[emcayo]

This definitely isn't a period. It's barely a spot of brown each morning and that's it. Never happened before in my life. My cycles are usually 28-30 days, with an occasional 32 day thrown in. Today is 33, tomorrow will be 34. This cycle is the longest luteal phase I've ever had. I just bought some FRERs and will test tomorrow morning again. I'd be ok either way at this point, I'd just really like to know what's going on since I've seen some faint positives and also negatives.

Usually my cycle is in line with the new moon, which is today. So I'm waiting one more day and then will be calling the doc about getting some answers.

Also--yesterday a few hours after we got back from four hours of sea kayaking I had THE WORST shoulder joint pain in both shoulders, which never happens after I paddle or kayak. It was incredibly unbearable and like nothing I've felt before, but this morning when I woke up it was gone. Could this be related to relaxin? Also know that shoulder pain is an ectopic symptom, but it went away and I'm pretty sure was caused by the kayaking.

Is it possible I implanted late and that's what the spotting is? I feel twinges very distinctly on both sides of my pelvis, and I know that since I took letrozole this cycle I had four potential mature follicles, two on each side. So I'm also wondering if two implanted/are implanting.

 

[WinterWolf]

Oh ok, I didn't realise it was such a small amount of blood. Spotting and shoulder pain are a bit concerning as like you said, they're signs of ectopic pregnancy. Though usually it's one shoulder only. I don't think it would be relaxin causing any pain when you're not even getting clear positives yet. Pregnancy does cause our bodies to be a bit more run-down though, which makes us more susceptible to muscle aches/pains. I wouldn't rule it out as a possible sign of pregnancy if it's unusual for you.

Brown spotting is old blood so it could be anything really. It's normal to spot in early pregnancy and even if it's never happened before it can be a sign your period is on its way. Implantation bleeding is usually light pink and only for 24hrs but your spotting could still be caused by that. It's definitely possible you've implanted late which would also explain the faint tests. Generally you'll get a faint positive 4 days after implantation and it should get quite a bit darker every 48hrs. You really need to get a first response test and see what it says because whatever it says will be accurate by this point. Good luck x

Going by what i have learned on here i would say you ov'd later at around CD19.
your temp confirms ov once you have a dip and 3 rises after.
CD15 doesn't show this. I may be wrong but i personally think you ov'd late.
Definitely go and buy yourself a FRER and you will know for certain.

 

[Kitana]

I'm kind of worried about your shoulder pain, I'd go have your blood checked at the GP's hun because relaxin usually kicks in later during pregnancy.
Keep us posted!

 

[emcayo]

Not sure what it was, but I did get my period about five days late. Doc said possible chemical, but maybe just late ovulation. Onward!

 

[GeekMaker]

Aww Awesome you are keeping in good spirits! It will come.

 

[Kitana]

Best of luck for next cycle hun! It can happen to anyone of us, good thing you're still in high spirits!x
