I just got my BFP at 15dpo and it’s really dark! Now I’m worried about twins 🤣 show me your 15dpo BFPs (or close to that) so I can feel a little better

Was your BFP on an internet cheapie? They can be surprisingly sensitive (especially as their quality control is unlikely to be closely regulated or even match what it says on the box!) They can be equal to, or even more sensitive than the big name brand ‘early results’ HPTs. The test could be as sensitive as 10mIU or lower. And TBH, 15DPO is not ‘early‘ to test. You should be expecting a pretty decent line by then, especially if you’re definitely past the point of missing AF, and the pregnancy is progressing normally.
Do you have twins on your mother’s side of the family? If not, your risk is probably pretty low for natural twins. Have you been taking fertility drugs whilst trying to conceive? Clomid (for ovulation) can increase your odds of twins by about 30%.
yes i’ve had 3 singletons before. Like @KiwiMoomin said symptoms were real mild at first with this pregnancy wasn’t until i hit 6weeks that sickness and tireness hit and it was horrendous compared to my singleton pregnancies. I’m currently 26+4 weeks and this pregnancy is sooo much harder than a singleton. Chances are you are carrying a singleton tho hun ☺️
congratualtions on your twins. Do you know what type of twins your having ? X
I am super sensitive to hormones, which is hard to deal with sometimes. I just feel like i always see these fainter lines, maybe it’s just because lots of us are POAS addicts 😉
those tests are internet cheapies, 20units i believe. I am going to take my cb digital tomorrow, but I’m nervous about it. Seeing “not pregnant” would hurt a lot. But I need a pic of the test for my scrapbook page I’m making to announce to my husband that I am pregnant. Funny how lots of “strangers” already know (although you all are like my sisters now ❤️) and I told my one sister as well. My husband probably won’t find out til Saturday if I can keep a secret til then 😆
i took digital on day of my af and it came up pregnant so i really can’t see you seeing “not pregnant” happy 9months 💖💙
i then took a weeks indicator one the day after it came up 1-2weeks then did one the next day because i was just so obsessed 😂 that came up 2-3weeks. It never twigged that could of means twins to me 😂 xxx
I booked a scan at 7weeks &4days because i suffered from a mmc last year so wanted to make sure it was a viable pregnancy this time. I kind of had a feeling it was twins tho, i literally couldn't keep food or water down and i was just sleeping 3-4hrs a day couldn’t stay awake.
Women of any age can have twins, so your friend may have been predisposed to them anyway. In clinical studies, your risk does not increase until after the age of 35 and beyond.
Having twins on your mum’s side of the family does indicate you could have a genetic predisposition to having ovaries that release multiple mature eggs per month. But again, the odds are not scarily high, even with assisted reproduction like IVF and fertility drugs.
But really, low/high odds aside, IF it is twins, you WILL be ok! You’ve had singletons before, right? You know the drill. (And you’re religious?) God knows you’re up for the challenge (and the blessing) of double trouble! I’ve got 3 friends with twins, and they all say it is hard... but not as hard as you think it’s going to be! And I’m clinging to that!!!🙏🏻🤪 And let me tell you, my 5 year old daughter is definitely going to be earning her pocket money, helping her mama out with her (much longed for!) siblings!!!😂
