Strong BFP at 6/7 dpo??!!!!!

[Jemsybabes]

I dont know what to think right now - my head's everywhere....ok so I had a m/c in June and got a D&c on 2nd July - period arrived as normal on 2nd August and finished on 6th/7th August - we BD'd on 8th August then didn't BD again until 15th and 16th August as I got +OPK (C'blue digi) on both those days. On 17th August the OPK was back to negative.

So on 5dpo I started spotting (pink/brown discharge) and out of curiosity took an OPK on 6 dpo (today) and it was +ve!! So I immediately went and got a HPT and it was a reaaallllly dark BFP (the result line appeared immediately and before the control line).

I don't know what to think or do - Im still spotting, which is a major concern as I did this with all three of my pregnancies so far (two of which ended in m/c so I don't have a good vibe when I get brown d/c!)

Surely I wouldn't have ovulated a matter of 2 or three days after my period but, if not, and if I did ov when the OPK said so, how on earth can I be getting a strong BFP at 6dpo and why am I spotting???

Im sick with worry - I thought I was ready to try again but the pain of my last m/c is too real and I can hardly think straight right now - any advice, opinions or words of comfort would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks xx

I'm not sure when I ovulated but I got my BFP between 7 and 10 DPO. By LMP I would have gotten it at 7DPO, but I'm not sure if I ovulated early (making it actually 8, 9 or 10 DPO) as I wasn't temping or charting.

7DPO tests are not "common" but not unheard of!!! You could be having some implantation bleeding

If at all possible, try to get in with your doctor hun.. It does seem rather early, not unheard of, but my fear would be the possibility of an ectopic.. In that case the test might be a strong + because the egg didn't implant in the uterus but the tube.. Best to find out sooner than later.. Best wishes hun! Hope this is a sticky bean in the right spot...

Thanks for your reply! I guess BFPs aren't unheard of this early, the thing that threw me was just how dark the line was - in my last pregnancies, the line was still quite faint on the day I missed my period! I tried telling myself that the spotting might be implantation bleeding but its been going on for two days now so from what Ive read I think I should rule that out?
Thanks again for replying and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!! xx

7 dpo is certainly possible, good luck hun

i think you may of ovulated on 8th of August... Hence the DARK BFP. ( i ovulated on the 8th and got a strong BFP on the 18th!, im 13dpo today and its dark!)


Do you have a pic of the test to upload so then we can have a peek and just see how dark it is??


Irregardless i would deffo get down to the doctors! you need further testing to rule out Ectopic and Molar Pregnancy x

It also depends on what day you are counting ovulation as. I always ovulate the same day as my first positive opk while others ovulate later.

I went through something VERY similar. I had miscarried almost into my 2nd tri in November, and then had a period in December, and then I took an HPT on CD on CD21 of that cycle and it was VERY positive. It was the only cycle I've had in years that I had ZERO signs of ovulation, and my temps on my chart were all over the place, so I couldn't figure out when I ovulated, but if I was going by my chart I figured I couldn't have been more than 6DPO. But the line on my test was like a 12DPO line for me! It was really odd.

My pregnancy turned out to be ectopic. Part of me wonders if that had something to do with why I got a dark line so early...I was thinking that since it didn't have to travel so far to implant, it all happened much sooner, so it would make sense that an HPT would show much sooner than a healthy interuterine pregnancy. (though it was an odd situation altogether) But then there's also the chance that I just ovulated really early, practically during my period. It's so hard to know, especially when your body is still trying to make it's way back to "normal" after a miscarriage.

I am so sorry for your losses. I completely understand the worry associated with every pregnancy. I do hope this is a wonderful little surprise for you, though!!!! Keep us updated!

Thanks everyone! Well i went along to the EPC this morning and got seen by a doc - he scanned me but (as expected, could find nothing, given that Im only like 3 weeks!) They did bloods and will repeat on Fri - apparently if they are doubling, pg could be ok, if rising but not doubling potential ectopic and if falling then miscarriage!
During the scan he checked for fluid on my ovaries (apparently a sign of an early ectopic) but everything looked normal. I have now started to bleed bright red blood and am getting period-esque cramps so im figuring this is another miscarriage (or possibly, more specifically, a chemical).
In any event, I will keep you all posted - Im extremely frightened (at the prospect of an ectopic) and also extremely extremely sad, I fight tears all day long but have to keep going as normal for my little girl - all I want to do is go to bed and cry myself to sleep I don;t get why I keep having m/cs - sad thing is they won;t do tests until Ive had three in a row (this one will make three in total but I had my daughter in between 1st and 2nd m/c)
Thanks again for all your support x

I am sorry. I HOPE HOPE HOPE you are not miscarrying. I hate that anyone else has to go through it...ever.

I do want to mention, though, since you have experienced pretty much everything I did, please have them monitor your hCG until it drops COMPLETELY. I started bleeding after my u/s and my hCG dropped like a "normal" miscarriage (OB did a 48 hour draw, but no more). And like I said, my scan showed an empty uterus. But because he was so confident that it was a normal mis., he just let me go. However, mine was ectopic and no one knew until one day when I was in excruciating pain and came into the ER and my tube was already rupturing. I had no other signs. The ultrasound should have been the biggest red flag.

I hate mentioning stuff like this because I don't want to scare people or act like I know what's going on, but because I really feel like there's a chance I could still have my tube if someone would have caught it early, I just don't want anyone else to go through the same thing!!!

I send prays your way hun.. I hope beyond hope that peace and assurance comes over you.. I have had many m/cs between 4-11 weeks.. Each started different, each had its own cause but only a few could be determined as to why they were happening. It is very fustrating to not know the why's and sometimes the doctors just don't know.. This pregnancy I'm with now is on the heels of a chemical pg and I bled 11 days with it, used soy and on day 12-ovulated.. I was not expecting anything to happen and neither did my doctor.. Take the time you need hun.. It is very hard I know..

 

[dan-o]

Just a thought, did you test negative after your d&c? It took my hcg months to go down after mine (although this is not common!)

Or perhaps your AF wasnt AF and you are further than 3 weeks?

Fingers crossed for you hun xxx

 

[Jemsybabes]

Hey Dan-O, yes I tested -ve several times following my D&C as we were trying to conceive again before I even had a period so was hoping for a BFP that cycle and didn't get one!
Thanks everyone for all the helpful comments, really appreciate them - just a waiting game now but I have pretty much ruled out this turning into a normal healthy pregnancy! To all of you who have suffered m/cs and stayed strong, I admire you so much and to all of you who have had ectopics, I cannot begin to imagine how you felt - Im petrified

[Babee_Bugs]

Awwww Jemsy im sooo Sorry hunnie...

 

[dan-o]

How's it going hun, did you get your numbers back? xx

 

[Jemsybabes]

Hey, numbers from first bloods on wednesday were 151 and got second lot of bloods taken this morning so will know results later, although they did a urine pregnancy test and it was coming up reaaalllly faint (whereas I got a really strong test on Tuesday morning) so they think its basically a chemical and if todays bloods show decrease in HCG then theyre gonna get me to test again in a week to check it goes negative! Am wondering if perhaps I tried too soon following my D&C (only had one cycle in between), although saying that my daughter was conceived before I even had a period following my first D&C.
Thanks for all you helpful comments, really appreciate them and they have given me a lot of strength and very useful info xx
