could I be further than I think?

Hey!

Long post sorry!

we had been trying to conceive after a blighted ovum in Nov. My af had been erratic so I basically guessed I was ov around 2 weeks after she came. My friends a nurse and told me to do that until af became moee regular. Anyway..I had af on 19 feb and she came back 10 days later on 1st march. We BD'D 25 feb, 7, 9, 16 march. (Had a lot going on so not much action there)

next af was 'due' 30 march. I knew how irregular it was but that night I decided to take a test anyway (11pm) and it came up quite a strong positive. The next day I went and got 2 clear blue digital tests which said 3+. I know 3+ usually means ur 5+ weeks but could judt mean ur hcg levels r high.

If I go by 1st march af im only 5 weeks 4 days today.
If I go by 19 feb af id be 7 weeks today.

A few tests I've taken since the test line has been darker than control line.

Ive not had many symptoms apart from nausea but its been quite bad on and off.

I get a reassurance scan on 17th so fingers crossed everything is alright and I see something that will put my mind at rest a bit

Any opinions??

I'd go with 7 weeks and 2nd bleed was breakthrough / implantation bleeding

Was the AF on 1st March any different than normal? Lighter?
Some people have bleeding similar to periods in the beginning, or even throughout their pregnancy.
You know best if you would consider them both periods or just "bleeds"/spotting.
Go from the last actual period (red, flow, light-heavy-light pattern, etc).

It's also confusing since you didn't BD during your fertile time, from what I'm seeing? 7th March is probably the closest to it...If March 1st was actually OVULATION bleeding then it's possible the 25th Feb would have DTD.

I'd probably stick with the Feb 19th date as last AF but again if it seemed like a real period on the 1st then you should go by that. You'll find out sooner or later haha it's only a matter of 2 weeks anyways

You could be further along than you think since your periods are irregular. I've had the same issue, I took a test and got a bfp and the test line was wayy darker than the control line. Get an ultrasound to make sure!

You may or may not be. I took a test at what I thought was 6+2 and it was as dark as the control line. Turns out I was only 4+5 as I had ovulated late and the only time we dtd was way after I assumed I ovulated (we were actually trying to avoid getting pregnant lol!) so I conceived about 10/11 days later . If I had tested a few days later, the line would have been darker than the control. I guess the only way to find out for sure is to get a scan.

Oh, with my first pregnancy, I got a 3+ on the digital before I was 5 weeks. I never bothered doing more than 1 or 2 normal tests with my other pregnancies!
