Line still faint at 15DPO? (With pic)

Hi everyone,

I did a test on Tuesday at 12DPO and got a faint positive. I did one again today at 15DPO and the line is still pretty faint. By 15DPO in my last pregnancy, the line was much darker, but that ended in MMC.

The only (positive) thing I can think is that I went to the loo at 3.30-4am this morning and then took the test at 6am, so is it truly FMU? On the negative side, I’m really worried about a chemical or another miscarriage.

What do you think? I’ll try retesting tomorrow and Sunday with proper FMU.

Hi @meepthebeep found you from the other thread too. I know how anxious it must be as I had a CP last month. Just wanted to say your 15dpo line looks much darker than mine did at 16dpo. Some people only ever have light lines but I know for us in this unfortunate early loss group it causes so much worry. I’ve heard some people getting darker lines with SMU so you could always try that :) x

The OPK sounds a great sign!

I’ve just done an OPK as well because I heard they can also detect pregnancy hormones, and that came out positive with a line as strong as the control line. So I guess it’s just waiting and seeing now (which is definitely not my strength, especially at the moment 🙃)

Thank you @Onthedouble123, that makes sense. I’ll try again over the weekend and see what happens. My period was due either Wednesday, Thursday or today, depending on which app I go by. Today is CD28 so this is the latest it would normally be for me, my cycles are usually 26-28 days.

TTC after a loss is no fun! Thank you again for your reply x

@meepthebeep found you.
I see what you mean that it's not super dark but it's not a squinter either- remember many people wouldn't have tested earlier in the week and this would their first line if that makes sense.
I think previous losses make this so much harder but you've definitely got a line and you're definitely pregnant right now 💕💐
Maybe wait a couple more days and test again but keeping everything crossed for a smooth and glowing pregnancy for you. Xx

I’ve just checked back through my photos for my last pregnancy in the autumn and I didn’t take a pic of the test I know I did at 16DPO, but I did of the 10DPO test, and this one is definitely a darker line than that. So maybe I’m worrying about nothing? I’m not sure what to think, I think having the MMC has made me overthink and doubt everything!
