BFP, but need advice as not all adding up

[flisstebbs]

Morning ladies of Tri1!

Yesterday I got my BFP which was totally unexpected as I had what I thought was AF from last thurs (ie over a week ago). I was moving onto the next cycle and did an OPK which was strongly positive, and so did a HPT as it seemed a bit early to surge for me.

Bit freaked out last night as I have done "all the wrong things" since I thought the witch showed. And then there's the bleeding too (which stopped on monday), but it was very light, only light brown spotting, (sorry tmi) but did go on a full 5 days.

I did a digi this morning, but after a restless night with many wees and a few drinks the wee was really dilute. It says Pregnant 1-2.

After having a MC last year I'm convinced this is not going to stick as the dates on the digi seem wrong if I'm going from my last proper AF which was 15th April. I'm planning to ring the EPU here at 8am, but wondering if anyone here had anything similar or any insight into what is going on here??!! Does anyone know if the conception indicator is iffy on dates if the wee is very dilute and not techinically the "first" ?(how to you know which one to use when you are up all night peeing?)

It could be that the spotting you've had was as a result of implantation. If your LMP before the spotting was 15th April then 1-2 on a digi would be about right. I think!

Thanks ladies. I kinda needed to hear this! What is it about hormones that turns an otherwise completely sane rational woman into a raving loony??? Spoke to lovely mw at EPU and they were reassuring too - going for bloods today and monday and they are booking scan in 2 weeks.

Hey love

Firstly, welcome to trimmy one and congrats on your bfp!

I from more or less the start of my pregnancy until last week I had brown spotting/discharge and went for my early scan all was fine.

I understand that you wont believe that until you see it as I was the same, I literally thought the worse as all my symptoms had died down too but all was well so hope your doing okay, just chillax!

xxxx

That really helps, Claire, thanks.

Also helped that they looked very un-worried in EPU but were lovely, have had the works and if the hcg is doubling (i will find out on monday), then they are going to scan me on fri.

Did an OPK this pm (can't help myself), and another type of HPT (tesco), and opk still getting darker which has helped me stay calm. If I have to pee on a thousand sticks to get through this weekend, then I'll do it!!!

Hope to join you in tri-1 properly next week...

My readings on the digis lagged by a few days all the way through to 3+. It didn't seem to make any difference what time of day or how dilute the wee was. It caused me anxiety at the time, but the bandings are quite wide and it's more important that the HCG levels increase appropriately, rather than the actual reading.

Congratulations!!

I hope everything turns out to be fine, from what I know brown discharge is fine it's bright red blood & cramps which are a sign of mc.

Good luck for the scan hun, I'm sure it'll be the longest 2 weeks.

I had 'periods' right up until 6 months with my first, spotting with my second and nothing with my 20week loss or mmc... Am almost thinking some kind of spotting is a good sign for me :-/ oh and so far I've done 29 pregnancy tests.... Stupid and crazy but I just can't help myself :-/

Congratulations xxx

Hi Flisstebbs,
When I got my sticky bfp, for some reason I didn't get it til 18DPO? I didn't have spotting or anything, but it was a bit weird that I didn't get a digi result til 5 weeks. I definitely know when I conceived, so it wasn't cos of that. Also, throughout tri 1, I had various types of spotting including brown red pink and orange!! But now I'm a tri3er and all the worries of tri 1 seem so far away.
Basically what I'm saying is, don't pay any attention to dates, it will all sort itself out eventually, and spotting is fine!! I know that after a mc it's so hard not to assume it's going to happen again, but please don't stress yourself xx
