Positive?? Line eyes, very confused

[Cassia90]

Hi all, I had a miscarriage around 5 weeks ago and haven't come on my period. I took a pregnancy test this morning and didn't really look into too much. I've just looked again and there is a very faint second line... what does this mean? Anyone had any experiences? Thanks in advance x

I think I can see one! Congratulations!

Looks like a very very faint line, but you have to check it in the time frame specified or the result is not valid. I would do another in the morning if I were you.

I think I can see it too. Good luck OP!

There's something there but I'd go for a digital.

Sorry to hear about your MC

I can see a line as well, did you get negative tests after your MC? Pregnancy hormones can remain in the body a little while after a MC however I’m hoping this is a sticky pregnancy for you 🤞

Hi @coffeekittens thank you, it's been an emotional rollercoaster x

Yes I did a test three weeks after miscarriage and it was a negative.

I'm really hoping this is a positive but don't want to get my hopes up, I've got some of those clear blue digital "how far gone" type tests, do you think I should try one of those? TIA x

I can see a line and my eyesight is bad and my specs need a clean!

@cassia90 looks like you’re pregnant then if previous tests were negative, big congratulations! I’m 21 weeks pregnant after a miscarriage in April and it has been an emotional roller coaster, be strong I’m sending you all of my best wishes 😊

Took a digital clear blue this morning and it was negative

A clear blue won’t be as sensitive as the first response x

If you only had a very faint positive then it's probably too early tfor s digital to pick it up, they aren't as sensitive. I'd get a first response for tomorrow morning ! Good luck

I think that pic shows a positive test. Good luck OP, I'm 6.5 wks pregnant with my rainbow baby and as nervous as anything.

It’s too early to do a digital judging by the test in your photo.

There’s definitely a second line, do you have another FRER you could do in the morning?

Hi all, I don't have another first response test to do. I've really been beating myself up and had a what's the point attitude. Dreading work tomorrow, feel like I don't want to go but from what's happened I've already had too much time off

What do you mean OP? What's the point in even testing again?

Go easy on yourself, you're still grieving. 5 wks isn't very long ago. Mine was 7 months ago and I only really feel like I'm getting to grips with it now. It can be very lonely. Be kind to yourself
Did you get another test today?

How are you feeling today op? Sorry to hear that you got a negative on a digi, they aren’t very sensitive so I’d check again with a first response. As @Flatasapancakenow said miscarriage can be a very lonely time and causes a lot of emotional turmoil, although I was lucky in falling pregnant again I still grieve for my loss daily, go easy on yourself

Give it a few more days and do an early morning pee test. Don't beat yourself up but there is no point agonising over it. Sorry for last months loss, very hard to go through. Xx

I can see a line on the frer, I would guess from how light it is that your testing early. Frer (the early test ones) are more sensitive than clear blue digital tests. Either leave it a day and test again on a frer with first morning wee or wait a few days and try a digi again. Hopefully you will get your positive. Sorry for your loss I had the same situation with a miscarriage then conceiving straight after with no period in between and now how a very healthy little one. Good luck and update us 🤞🏻

Thank you everyone. I just feel a bit like what's the point, I just keep think about how far along I should be now and how different circumstances could have been I haven't tested again since I'm not sure I can take the disappointment but no period either. I think I will wait for the weekend, build myself up and do another test xxx

The line on your FRER is exactly the same as the one I got. Also after a miscarriage with no period in between.

Digitals are far, far less sensitive than early detection tests. I hate them, unless you test after your periods due I think they do more harm than good.

I would never want to get someone’s hopes up after a loss but I think you’ll get a very nice surprise at the weekend when you test again.

I found naming the baby we lost helped me deal with it a bit better. We gave them a unisex name. We have a box that we keep a little boat in that my eldest son had made for the baby. Someone had also suggested planting a tree in memory of them. I didn't want to pretend the baby had never existed.
It's ok to feel sad, it's a sign of how much you loved your little one.

I also think you're in for some good news.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Take all the time you need to grieve!

I can definitely see a line in that picture. I will keep my fingers crossed for you xxx

Thanks again everyone, Im going to buy another first response for Saturday morning x @Flatasapancakenow that's a really lovely idea, we had a scan at 8 weeks and everything was ok so we have that scan picture and a little elephant we had brought for the baby. When it all happened I asked my husband to put it out of site, I know where it is but to this day haven't opened the drawer. I hope one day I am brave enough to put this all in a special box. Today my boss at work asked me how's bump, I immediately burst into tears and then was upset they were upset. I guess my line manager didn't pass the message on xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss OP. x
