Was so surprised to receive a positive test after one month ttc for baby 3.

I had a normal period June 3-7 and then June 26th I bled for a little more than 24 hours. I downloaded Glow (again) and was currently using <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a> so I updated my period on Glow to the 26th and left it as the 3-7 on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a> just to see what predictions were for both and to track CM to see what I personally felt was correct.

Throughout July, I continued to take tests often. Usually twice a week because I enjoy wasting money by peeing on sticks for the heck of it (lol) and I just wanted to be sure. I never expected to get a positive on Saturday July 21st especially when I got a negative on Monday July 16th. (Btw, I only took a second test, the one with the +/-, so it was clear to my SO by just looking at it 😉)

Soooo... the app is telling me that on the day I tested I was 3 weeks and 4 days. How absolutely insane to me! I don’t know for sure when I ovulated and I am assuming that the estimation is correct. I just can’t imagine actually being 6+ weeks and just now getting a positive especially when I’ve always tested positive around 4 weeks with my other 3 pregnancies.

I haven’t made an appointment yet, but am going to within the next couple of days, my doctor won’t take me until I’m at least 8 weeks anyway and I’m fairly certain I’m not near it, although it would be awesome if I were that much further along for obvious reasons.

Anyone else experience a strong positive result under 4 weeks? I’d love to hear other’s stories and experiences.

Also, I had a semi similar experience with my miscarriage in 2012. Similar as in the bleeding situation but I tested early and had a negative and didn’t test again until the end of the month (about 3+ weeks later) and when I made my appointment I told them about my one day of bleeding, they counted it at as my period and told me I was about 6 weeks. I went into the walk-in because I thought I had to be much further along and sure enough that was what they measured me as. So since I have been testing so regularly and all, I don’t really doubt this estimation is incorrect.

4 weeks tomorrow, Tuesday July 24th ❤️ praying for a healthy, successful pregnancy and to be holding my healthy baby in April. Hoping anyone else who reads this is blessed with the same, whether you’re already expecting or still trying to conceive.
