Faint positive result or not?

28 replies

PCOSTTC42 · 05/08/2020 14:27

I recently had a MC in June, I have PCOS and haven't had my first period since which is normal for me. However, I have exactly the same symptoms as last time (even though it was a huge shock I was pregnant last time as I didn't know and though my boobs were aching due to PCOS devil!) I've attached photos, could anyone help? Im not getting my hopes up at all.

Faint positive result or not?

Yes I see a faint line

MouthBreathingRage · 05/08/2020 14:32

There's definitely a faint line. Did you get scanned during/after your last MC? Either call the EPU or doctor (after doing another test), just incase there's retention. I hope for the very best rest for you.

MouthBreathingRage · 05/08/2020 14:33

Result not rest, of course.

That looks positive but could be left over hormones from the previous pregnancy. Depending on how far along you were when the pregnancy ended, it can take up to 5 weeks for the hormones to go back to zero. Have you had a definite negative pregnancy test after your MC?

Definitely a faint line

I had regular blood tests at the hospital as they originally thought it was an ectopic. I was discharged with 0 hcg level on 14th July. I think I'm going to hold off testing until the end of the month, don't want to get my hopes up again. It took us 2 years to get pregnant last time.

I'm really sorry to hear that PCOSTTC42 Flowers.

@PCOSTTC42 I definitely see a faint line too. Could you get some cheap pink dye tests from wilkos or somewhere and do one each morning for a few days and see if the line gets darker? That’s a nice indication of the hormones increasing as pregnancy progresses.

Is there a number for EPAU that you could call for advice given the difficulties you’ve had before?

Crossing fingers this is good news for you and you have a happy healthy pregnancy x

lborgia · 05/09/2020 07:59

I think, given the OPs result, that it would be appropriate to ask MN to remove your post @Babydustxoxo.

If you're about to have a baby, you probably need to think about how to figure out tricky things. Pretty insensitive given OPs previous history.

Unfortunately it wasn't a healthy pregnancy. I am already under fertility treatment so hopefully we get some answers soon. Thanks all. Its never easy having two losses after one another but it could also be a sign there wasn't something right with the babies and my body rejected it them a reason.

I didn't realise I'm new to this app and also have pcos have been trying for 5 years so I completely understand OP pain! I don't actually know how to delete it and I feel awful now reading this properly x

At the bottom of your first post (all posts) there are the dots ... if you click on them, you'll get a menu of options.

I'm sorry if I was terse, you must be terribly excited, congratulations Flowers

@Babydustxoxo - I'm so sorry, I hope your moment comes soon.

@StillCoughingandLaughing - you only came on here to say that? Fuck off.
