Lines

[17358anotherplanet]

Hello, I realise that this result clearly means that I am pregnant. This test was taken this morning, AF 5 days late. I am concerned that the second line should be stronger by now. I had MC in November at about 6 weeks and had faint lines when I first tested back then. It’s making me a bit paranoid that the same will happen again 😕

The second line is just fine!! Congratulations!!
I have had 3 chemicals and line never that strong!

That's not a faint line. And more importantly the tests cannot tell you anything meaningful about the amount of pregnancy hormone in your system - you'd need a blood test for that. What shows in your wee depends on how hydrated you are etc etc, it's too variable to be meaningful.

Can you try to stop doing tests, it will just focus you on the line and not help with your anxiety. The first weeks of pregnancy are always weird as often no one else knows, there's no outward sign and you're in a strange waiting limbo until first appointments and scans. Obviously made more stressful if you've had a previous bad experience.

@AssassinatedBeauty, you are right. I should try to relax and not focus on the test and the line-strength. Que sera sera.

@notasperfectasallothermners, thank you for the encouragement.
