**Update 2*** Sensitive post.... Advice needed....

Today I woke up with cramps (I have been cramping for a few days) and have been have dark red bleeding. Not enough to fill pad but enough to show up on liner and wiping at bathroom. Certainly enough to think game over. I’m 9dp5dt and my official test date is tomorrow. Just before I reached for the wine bottle I thought I’d do a test and this appeared. Do you think it’s been a chemical? I’m still cramping and there is def blood when I wipe and spotting on my liner.

**update*** 2 tests done this morning and both still positive. Still bleeding slightly so being very cautious with the result. I had lletz twice in the last year (Oct last treatment) and am wondering if the bleeding is from my cervix with the cyclogest. Who knows. Will see what the weekend brings.

*** update 2... Sadly game over. Tested again today and 2 negative tests. Heartbroken but will get there....

Definitely dont grab the wine just yet. Some ladies do have some bleeding still have a successful pregnancy. I would re-test tomorrow and see how things look, this could just be some implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed for you!xx

Thank you for your reply. My head is such a mess and don’t want to tell my hubby incase it gets his hopes up 🙈. I hate this process....xx

I would tell hubby so you can be there for each other! I meant to say that's quite a convincing BFP there.....only time will tell as you say but meantime that line is there, congrats.xx

Well, the test pic does seems like a full-proof BFP. It should be as long as the OP spotted it well within the timeframe. Evaps do not get this dark either and there's no other possibility than a BFP. I totally agree with you that she should test again and preferably in 2-3 days not right away if she wants to just re-check and reassure herself she is pregnant.

Thank you for you reply. Will need to test tomorrow for clinic as it’s my otd but will see after that... 😘

MamaVe in reply toButtons21

That's even better. Wish you luck then... not that you need it considering the test pic but then that's the only thing I thought you'll need for tomorrow. I'm pretty sure everything will be alright. Just stay positive, there's still no reason for you to hover on the otherwise. Will look forward to your update then. :)

Hey, repeated this morning and still holding on. Will see what the weekend brings.xx

in reply toButtons21

Great news. A chemical would mean you had a positive that then turns negative, so that's that ruled out.

Keep positive and somehow relaxed. Xxx

It’s definitely a good strong line. When you phone your clinic then mention the blood to them to see what they say. There are plenty of stories on here about ladies who bleed and go on to have successful pregnancies. Hopefully you’re one of them.

I didn't start bleeding with my chemical until after the test went negative, I think other ladies on here have bled and everything has been ok. I would test again in a few days, good luck xox

Looks like a positive to me! I had period like cramping and spotting right when my period was due and it turned out my FET had been a success!

I just found out I'm pregnant again and I cramped for days. I knew it was unusal as my cramps normal last a few hours so I took a test when AF didn't arrive.

Cramps is definitely a good sign so hold off the wine!

Of course a chemical is possible but lots of women bleed in the tww and even in early pregnancy and all is fine! It’s probably more common than you think, not normal but common! And the cramping is completely normal. Retest in the morning and then ring your clinic with your result. Good luck xx

Hi,

Some women do bleed during embryos implantation. Please do not reach for the wine yet. I think you should call your clinic for advice. But it looks very positive too me. Best of luck 🤞🤞🤞🤞💕

Hi Button. Try using the pessaries in your back passage, to give your front a rest. Put your feet up for a bit too. Good luck! Diane
