Hey, I was hoping to get some advice really, although I need to explain something first. I got pregnant last December (4th) after missing 1 of my pills but struggled to get a clear positive result. I started with symptoms very early on but all the HPT I did had very faint lines, and I did a LOT (they gradually got darker but still weren't solid, however I had lots of symptoms and I was told by a doctor that a line is a line and everything suggested I was pregnant. I came off the pill and never started a period, even though usually if I ran out and didnt take a few I would begin with cramping and bleeding. I had a blood test when I was 7/8 weeks pregnant but miscarried that evening and my blood results came up negative. I had to wait four weeks for a scan and then had a follow up with my gp who assured me I had been pregnant despite the negative blood test. Me and my fiancé were devastated, but decided not to begin trying for a baby as at the time I was still at uni. Now, I'm feeling exactly how I did last December. I started with sore breast/nipples ( and I mean to the point where the bounce when I walk hurts them) and nausea this week, certain smells are making me gag, like when I was baking donuts at work yesterday. I took a test this morning and I can see a line. A very very faint line, much like the first test I did last time. My OH couldn't see the line but could when I altered the exposure of the photo to make it a little clearer. I feel like it's happening again and I don't know what to do. I'm convinced I am pregnant but what if it's just me? So far I plan to retest in two weeks ( though the wait will kill me) and I guess go and see a doctor then depending how I'm feeling but I have to do some heavy lifting at work and I'm terrified of miscarrying, I've only just recovered from my previous one,but I need that confirmation before I can really do anything and I didn't get that last time. I'm still on the pill, although I'm not sure if I may have taken one late around the time I think I conceived so I don't get periods meaning I dont have a missed period to indicate whether i'm pregnant, although I am going to stop taking it and see whether I do begin or not. I just needed to talk about it and get advice and I didn't know where else to go. Mumsnet helped me last time ( I can't find my original account though :( )

Sorry to hear that.

Can you upload a photo of the test?

Either way, test again in a few days. There's no reason to think you'd miscarry again, but I understand the fear!

Hi @Needadvicetoleave Yes I'll attach the image now, I'm going to use the slightly darkened photo as it is a lot easier to see the line. It is still very early days, so it may not show very clearly yet anyway. Thank you for replying x

Some advice please!

Just to add this test makes a cross when positive so it is the faint vertical line I can see

Can you take a picture with the light on?

It’s too dark.

I don’t see a vertical line there...

If it makes you feel better - most miscarriage are for chromosomal reasons - meaning there's nothing you can do to cause it, or prevent it.

If the cells don't develop properly, they don't. Heavy lifting won't change it
