Faint lines at 20DPO

Hi,

I was looking for reassurance. Has anyone had faint lines on HPTs up to 20DPO (Should be 4 weeks and 6 days today) and the pregnancy still be ok? I had a MC last year and I'm trying hard not to panic this year but I keep seeing people with very dark lines by this point and I have super faint - only slighter darker than the first couple of tests irl.

The numbers next to the tests are DPO and whether test was AM with FMU or just the evening with a 3/4 hour hold.

This was supposed to be in pregnancy. Sorry!

My tests did get darker and were fairly dark at 20dpo but my best friend didn't even get a faint line until she was 6 weeks pregnant and her daughter is 4 now. You could make ask your GP of they would do blood tests to see if your hcg levels are doubling at this stage as its too early for a scan. Or as awful as the wait is you could go to the EPU at 6 weeks for a scan. Hoping it all works out for you Flowers

Also have you tried another brand of test? The Internet cheapies don't tend to get a dark line until your a fair bit on so this might be the reason for the light lines.
