Had AF but now have a BFP

PeachDaisy · Jan 16th, 2013, 23:18 PM

Hello everyone! I am new here but open to any advice, insight, etc. My husband and I have been TTC for about 3 months now, so not super long. Well this month I had some spotting about a week before AF was expected, which I habe never experienced. The AF arrived right on time amd was my normal semi-heavy period that lasted the normal 5 days. Nothing out of the ordinary. About 3 days after it ended I started spotting/lightly bleeding. Thought nothingbof it and just assumed it was just the finishing of AF. This began about 5 days ago now. For about 3 days now I have gotten sick in the morning/early afternoon then feel fine. It wasn't until today I thought to take a test. So I came home from work, took one and within a minute had a BFP. I want to be excited, but at the same time I have concerns. Could this just nbe due to a MC? Or could I actually be pregnant? I plan on getting into my family doctor asap but thought I'd get some insight in the meantime.

At this point I could be cautious. I had a similar situation, I had a BFN day before my period came, had normal fairly heavy period, and kept spotting for a week afterwards so out of curiosity I tested (CD11 or 12) and it was a very faint positive, did a couple more and eventually went negative, so it would have been a chemical. This does not necessarily mean this is happening to you, could be that what you thought was AF was actually implantation bleeding. How positive was the HPT? Do you have a pic? And what CD are you on now?

I didn't take a pic of it. It wasn't dark but it wasn't really faint either. I believe I am on CD13...but I could be off a day or two because go figure, first month I lose track of things because of being so busy. I plan on another test in the morning.

I would certainly consult your doctor. I hope it is not a miscarriage and everything works out for you!

Well ladies, I took another HPT first thing this morning and the second line was only visible if you literally strained your eyes. I was of course upset. I went ahead and made a Dr. appointment anyway. Of course I wasn't okay with this mornings results so I took another HPT when I got home this evening. Another BFP! I really want to be excited but it's all so weird. Dr appointment isn't until Monday so this weekend is sure to drag! Ugh! I'll probably take more tests throughout the weekend. I'll keep you all updated. Thank you for the support also. This is def what I need.

Btw I have attached a pic of my results thus far. They go in order earliest to latest from top to bottom.

I would definitely be very cautious too. Wait and see what the doctor says on Monday. Got my Fx'd for you hun!

Well I hope it's the BFP you deserve. fX for you and baby!

The middle one is negative but the lines on the other ones are definitely there and not faint compared to other early positives I've seen
Call your doc and get bloodwork done!
Good luck!!
