Hi,
I have taken a lot of support from reading and these threads over the last couple of years, this is my first post and I wondered if anyone can help. I am 39 and have no children, me and my husband have been trying to conceive for nearly two years. I had a missed miscarriage in December which was devastating and since I have had two chemical pregnancies. I have just tested a day late and had a very strong positive, my previous chemical pregnancies lines were both faint and got fainter each day. I just wondered if from your experiences a strong dark line is less likely to result in a CP? I know there is no 100% answer and waiting is all I can really do, but wondered if anyone had similar experiences
?

I’m so sorry you’ve been though so much heartache in such a short time. I have only 2 experiences, both when I was 37. Faint line was a chemical. Strong line resulted in DS. I tested everyday for both and the chemical stayed faint before fading away over 7 days and the pregnancy got darker and darker rapidly over 7 days. Fingers crossed for you this time.

The time I had a CP the test had said ‘1-2 weeks’ when it should have been 2-3. So this would have been similar to a faint line (less of the hormone). Wishing you the best of luck.

My chemical pregnancy was also a really faint line, that stayed a similar level of paleness for a few days and then went, and my period came. My successful pregnancies were stronger lines, and got darker over the course of each 2-3 day period. Good luck OP

Hi, im new to this site and not sure if messaging in the right place but was wondering if anyone can help as Im so anxious. Last week done a test and was a faint positive, I've since over course of the week done several other tests branded and supermarket tests. All reading faint positives. I've done clear blue digital which showed pregnant 1-2 weeks. First response which had clear lines but all others have been very faint bearly visible. I've experienced lots of cramps but no bleeding. The lines have not got any darker over this last week. I must add this will be my fourth pregnancy but haven't experienced anything like this or the cramps. My breasts are sore and full like when you due period. Someone told me cramps could be implantation cramps an im feeling everything more intense with me being older and had previous pregnacies and that I've just found out very early but why aren't test results getting darker then? Im worrying like mad don't know if missed miscarriage or it is just very early. Dr not doing blood test until next week said should wait another week 😔
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Xx

I had to chemical pregnancy’s, and they never really progressed passed being faint lines. My successful pregnancies were always darker lines
