Faint positive?

Hello

My husband and I lost our first baby to a late miscarriage last year which was very difficult and took us some time to recover from emotionally.

We've recently begun trying again and I am a few days late this month. No real 'symptoms' of pregnancy but I'm normally very regular so I took a couple of those very cheap strip tests - one yesterday and one today. Both times they've come up with a very faint second line, nowhere near as dark as the first line, but still definitely there. I've not had this before in the last few months so I don't think it's an evaporation line.

I plan to do one of the Clear Blue tests in a couple of days (if I can wait that long) and as much as I try not to think about it - my mind can't help but wonder and hope... does anyone have experience of a faint BFP that was a real positive?

Thanks

Yes!

After my period didn't arrive I did a test on 28th December - very faint line - very.

Did one every day after that until the 31st when it was a lot darker and I could actually believe it Grin

A line is a line is a line. Congratulations!!!!!

I had 2 that only had faint lines, waited a week. And did them again. I am now feeding my beautiful little boy.
Congratulations and good luck!

Thanks so much! Appreciate the replies.

I am feeling such a mixture of emotions - over the moon I seem to have fallen again, but almost can't believe it, seems to good to be true.

Congratulations Foxy! What a lovely Christmas present!

Am so sorry for your loss. Yes, I had a very very faint line 10DPO, tested over the following few days and line gradually got darker, am now 18 weeks.
Fingers crossed, but sounds like an early positive for you.
Best of luck

Hi everyone - well, curiosity got the better of me and I took a Clear blue digital test this morning - it came back '2-3 weeks pregnant' - so I think I am!

Am over the moon, although after our loss last year aware that a BFP doesn't always equal a baby.

Thanks for your comments yesterday when I was a nervous wreck! They were really helpful.

Aw Beans congratulations!!!

Fantastic news :) maybe a visit to your GP to arrange an early scan for a couple of weeks time might help a little with the anxiety? Fingers crossed for a smooth 9 months
