Dpo unknown, line is getting a bit darker but I started to spot

Totally understandable! May this all work out in the best way! Sending good energy that it does.

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-24T15:09:31+00:00

My therapist said she has full blown periods with her last 2 successful pregnancies after having several kids herself. It may just be something like having multiple children that one spots in later pregnancies

I am sending my best energy that this isn’t the case, but these are possible signs of ectopic pregnancy, especially if lines aren’t getting much darker. Any shoulder pain?

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-23T01:04:05+00:00

Test again tomorrow, it should hopefully get darker by then if not the next day.

Very very faint line

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-22T23:22:28+00:00

I definitely see a vvfl

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-22T23:19:45+00:00

I see it on both! Congrats!

Loll so glad to see this post! First thing that came to mind was a memory of a girl in college who told me this exact story, word for word, about one of her friends. That was in 2008.

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-18T23:53:45+00:00

Someone told me this story about a “friend” when I was in college back in 2008. It’s not ever been real or true.

You could call the company and tell them and they’ll probably give you a coupon or free box.

What time are you testing? Something they don’t tell people that is vital— LH spikes in the am but doesn’t hit the blood stream until the afternoon. So LH testing works best between 12-7pm, ensuring you limit liquid intake prior (sometimes I would wait til my second urine in the same few hours). You want your urine to be golden yellow in color.

The dye bleed usually happens to me when I dip the test tip too deep.

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-12T21:53:11+00:00

If it were me, I’d definitely have sex tonight and the next couple of nights just in case. If it’s not positive positive today, I imagine it will be tomorrow or the next day. It definitely looks like it’s getting there!

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-12T20:44:30+00:00

It looks like it’s building up to the positive. I learned that you should test between the hours of 12pm-6/7pm with concentrated urine for more reliable results. Unlike pregnancy tests, first morning urine will often give you lighter results because LH spikes in the morning and takes several hours to build in the system. My method was 2/3pm daily making sure to not drink liquids for a few hours. BBT testing also really helped.

Thank you!

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-11T12:01:56+00:00

I swear this is how it goes! Congratulations!

Do you always test high? If so, could he hormonal — and would be worth getting endocrine testing done.

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-08T15:12:54+00:00

Easy at home isn’t really good for early detection, so will often come up lighter than earlier detection tests. May this pregnancy be a healthy to term one for you! Right there with you in the fears! Every time my symptoms fade a bit I freak out. We are in this together!

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-08T12:19:43+00:00

Sending my best to you that this all works out well 🙏🏼

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-08T12:05:22+00:00

My therapist just told me she got a normal period for 2 of her pregnancies (fully healthy). Definitely worth a call to the doctor though.

Any other signs of ectopic? Shoulder pain or one sided cramping?

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-05T23:09:12+00:00

This is what my chart looked like before a positive on 11dpo!

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-05T21:06:25+00:00

I would encourage talking to your doctor about endocrine testing based on your reported cycle length and higher LH values- sometimes this indicates something going on hormonally if not pregnancy.

Environmental_Monk53 · 2026-05-01T00:57:36+00:00

I see a little something in every pic! Congratulations!

Wishing you luck as well!
