Has anyone had a healthy pregnancy after very faint positives?

Hello,
I think I am clutching at straws a bit here but trying to keep a little smidgen of positivity.
I am pregnant for the 4th time (last 3 ended in miscarriage at around 7- 9 weeks). This pregnancy (as with the 3rd) was with medicated IUI so I know exact ovulation date. I tested on Tuesday this week (14dpo) and got faint positive on hospital test (25ug one), have then done about a gazillion tests like a nutter. The 10 or 15ug ones are coming up strong but 25 ones still faintish. Also only got 1-2weeks on clear blue conception indicator today at 17dpo.
I am suspecting this is a chemical/start of a very early mc. I am on progesterone (as well as blinking loads of other stuff to try prevent mc) so this will delay a mc. I have no soreness of boobage, did have stretching uterus cramps for about 5 days but this has stopped as as the increased thirst.

Has anyone had faint positives for a few days in a row and it all came good?
Going to have HCG bloodtest next week if this continues but clinic shut over the weekend.

Thanks Jem

Remember that it takes a while for HCG to build up in the first few days and weeks. If you're only 17 dpo, it will still be slowly increasing. Try to relax and think positive. Test again in a few days and resist the temptation of testing every few hours, it won't help.

I know that's all easy for me to say and very hard for you to do, but seriously, you just have to relax. What you've seen on the tests all sounds normal..

My five month old son is asleep next to me. So faint were my amazon cheapies that I'd tossed them in the bin and it hadn't actually sunk in. :)
