How long can a faint line be faint?!

Hello all
I'm looking for some advice.
I did a test on weds and got a very very faint bfp. Have had incredibly sore boobs and nipples for about a week so thought all was looking good. Did another test fri afternoon also very faint bfp and another this morning with fmu, also very faint bfp.my boobs have now stopped hurting and although it sounds weird, I no longer 'feel' pregnant. What do you think, pregnant or just a chemical pregnancy? How long do lines stay faint for??! No bleeding yet x no darker.

I think it's normal for lines not to be dark on cheapie and I'm crossing everything for you.

However as an aside- I had 5 days of very faint lines that got lighter eventually. . A week later I tested and it was v dark and I knew it was wrong. Eventually an ectopic was discovered. So unless your lines keep getting darker and you've got no obvious signs (bleeding etc) I'd say your ok but if it still feels uncertain don't wait to get checked out x

Yikes hadn't considered ectopic as a possibility....oh no, something new to worry about! there is something that makes me feel all is not quite right. I think it's the boobs/nipples being soooooo incredibly sensitive and hurting massively and then all of a sudden that going away. Going to POAS again in the morning. The not knowing is the hardest....x

Still no bleeding/AF and had a nice dark line this morning - left it 5 days between testing. The symptoms have still disappeared but I'm feeling a little more hopeful x

I don't know if your Dr does the same but my doc does a dip stick test to confirm for you if you've had a positive test

Hi cluesue, didn't know they offered that....think I'll try and go to the docs next week if I'm still really unsure. What a rollercoaster! Thanks x
