Hi all, I was lucky to get a BFP 8dpo and like a crazy person have been testing ever since. Today AF due still a positive. Having had miscarriages I'm so scared/paranoid. So can anyone tell me are the lines getting darker a sign this could be it??

But don’t get caught up on them! A line is a line, it doesn’t mean anything really. It depends on how much dye was used in the test. Congratulations! What a nice present for Father’s Day!

Thank you and it's the perfect Fathers Day present! Xx

OP, yes it’s a good sign! Congratulations. I have had 2 miscarriages, most recently last week. It’s so scary. Lines progressed with both my miscarriages too, so there really is no way of knowing.

Please try and relax and enjoy your lovely news!

Still going well but did a CB how many weeks, got 3+ then 2-3weeks.
Could it be goibg wrong ?
Still have mega sore breast, headache and nausea. Not slightly crampy. Is that normal at 5weeks?
I can't remember how I felt 14years ago... x

Oh OP, you poor thing having previous losses. You must be so worried but I really think you mustn't keep looking at these small things. Let yourself relax a bit, the CB tests do that sometimes Smile wait a couple of weeks and see if you can be seen at the EPU because of your previous losses. Thanks but don't panic, and congratulations x

@Fingerscrossed2018 you poor thing. The clear blue digitals have a threshold for each stage (2-3 weeks, 3+). So it could be you were just over the threshold with the 3+ test, and then the next one was slightly more diluted so just below the threshold. Having recently had a loss myself I can imagine how worried you must be and I don't really have any advice other than to try to do anything nice to take your mind off it Thanks

@BreakfastAtLitanies and @satsumasaturday thank you both so much.
I feel like I'm mad. By my dates I'm on the threshold of 3weeks according to CB.
I mustn't test anymore and just enjoy it.

Sorry if I sound like a complete wreck and thank you both x

If you're on the border between 2/3 weeks and 3, then you probably just drank slightly more or had pee'd more recently, making the hormone slightly more diluted on the second test.

Thank you @ForeverBubblegum x

My reasonable head knows you're all right, it's my irrational brain that's doing my head in!
