Faint lines at 14dpo?

[EverythingNow]

Sorry I know this is probably not answerable but I would value people’s experiences.

AF due yesterday/today.

I first tested positive 12dpo (pm) and did a couple of tests both faint positive mainly as I’ve been caught by indents in the past.

I’ve then tested using FMU yesterday am and today and while the lines are marginally darker (I think) they’re still faint.

I did a clear blue (rapid result 25miu) this morning and the line is very faint, I would’ve discounted as hopeful line eyes if it wasn’t for the FRER.

Pics attached. I guess I just expected/hoped them to be Big-Fat-Positive by this point and I’m a bit worried that they’re not.

I know I am pregnant now, I know I can’t know or change what will be either.

Congrats! The lines on my positive tests for both my kids were similar at this stage.

Thanks @macaronip1e (yummy username!!!)

Absolutely can see positives on them! Congratulations

Definitely see positives! Exciting!

Definitely positive.

Fwiw, with my DS my tests were really faint for a week.

Last pregnancy I had strong positives at 12dpo, unfortunately it ended in miscarriage.

Thank you everyone!

@wellthisisunexpected, sorry to hear of your loss. My last pregnancy was a v early loss 2 years ago, which was one line followed by negatives the next day. We weren’t ttc at the time. I think that’s what’s throwing me, I don’t want to get excited in case it’s over before it begins.

This mornings test, a Sainsbury’s own because FRER are so blinking hard to get hold of.

Rationally they’re darker than the bfn I got on them at 12dpo AM. But still so faint for 15dpo.

I know I just need to try and forget about it and assume I am until I start bleeding or not. But I kind of feel in limbo as they’re so faint, do I bother booking a Drs ‘booking in’ appointment (realistically wouldn’t be able to see them for a week or so anyway)

CB digi was of course negative as was a Tesco one so I guess HCG is still under 25miu?

It may just be that you implanted late, in which case your hormone is only just starting to rise.

You should get a result on a digi in a couple of days :) Fx for you!

Thanks @Stephisaur, I hope so.

I feel silly to keep testing and posting, I’ve never been like this before.

@EverythingNow it happens to us all at some point :)

I tested positive at 10dpo and got blaring BFPs but then they started to fade significantly every 48hrs and ended in a chemical pregnancy at 5+5. I knew something was wrong from the start somehow.
So even with a blaringly obvious bfp it doesn't always mean it'll be ok and I wouldn't worry yourself over it, the best way to check is to wait 48 hours and look at progression that way, testing daily will drive you nuts. Just remember you may not be exactly the DPO you think you are. :)

Yay EverythingNow !! I’m so happy for you! I still can’t resist come back to conception to re live the happiest moments 🤗
I had exactly the same. Didn’t get very strong lines until about 18dpo so don’t worry! It looks like a perfect second line to me! X

Mind you I only ever tested on the internet cheap strips and when they weren’t getting consistently darker, I bought a clear blue but not the digital one and that was a strong line and I stopped and instead of buying more tests I booked an early scan X

How are you tracking ovulation? Could it have happened a little late this month so you are not actually as many dpo as you think?

The line has definitely gotten darker on the frer so hopefully it will keep getting darker!

Hi @mumof3cheeky! How are you?

Thanks @blondemother and @youthrewmysandwichAWAY you’re probably right. I used opks, and had a positive cd 14 but that just means ovulation might be imminent doesn’t it? I didn’t temp, even though the thermometer was right beside my bed because I’m hopeless

I took a frer this afternoon and I got a decent line, so I’m just going to cross my fingers now and hope for the best.

They all look positive 😊

That’s definitely positive! Congratulations 😀 I’m good thank you! Just counting down and the insomnia has kicked in now so I’m typically awake this time and panicing!! How am I going to be able to do this 😆
So excited for you! Have you told your dp yet? X

Don’t obsess over lines. I’ve had a success, a chemical pregnancy and two miscarriages and the lines varied with each. The strongest lines I got I miscarried. She had T9 and so would never have survived. Lines only matter if they turn negative!

Try not to worry, the latest FRER looks darker! Congratulations and good luck xx

Thank you lovelies but I’ve started spotting so I’m feeling like it’s not meant to be this time.

Sorry to hear that
I did spot early on with my first and it turned out to be nothing, so I'd keep an eye on it and if it doesn't turn into a normal period then it could be that things are still OK.

I really really hope so. Thank you @bubbleandsquarks.

Really hope it can hold on in there for you x x

Yes... yes....yes 🤗deffo a line. Not even that faint . My 4 pregnancies were all fainter than that. Congratulations 💙💖

Thanks, sadly I’ve woken up to proper bleeding today. I’m not surprised really I guess just really sad.
