Line eyes please

[richtea3389]

Hi all,

So I am late for AF and done a few tests that I think have faint lines since yesterday afternoon but slightly concerned that they are so faint and AF is late, with my previous successful pregnancies I always found out before AF was due.
Also not sure if it's just my eyes playing tricks on me

Any thoughts?

Your first morning urine is supposed to be the most sensitive as it normally contains the most HGC. If you using different urine then the concentration levels will be become more diluted.

I would try again first thing tomorrow morning with a FRER.

Finger crossed!!

So I did my last clear blue this morning (I've spent a fortune!) and got this result!

Got some Frer coming and a doctors appointment Tuesday. Fingers crossed.

I have my fingers crossed for you! Testing so often early on can lead to inconsistent results. With the frers I would try it leave 48 hours between each test if you can!

I went to gp this morning he sent a sample to the lab but said it sounds very much as though I am and prescribed me folic acid! Will get the results later today or tomorrow morning.

So the doctor said they stopped testing urine samples for pregnancy at the lab about a month ago, he was reluctant to take a blood test so left me some one step tests to do at home myself, he said if it's positive then I just go with it being a positive.

I did the test when I got home and it's still a faint line, should I just stop worrying and go with it or should I be concerned that it's faint? Af is about 4/5 days late now.

Never had this problem with my others!

That looks pretty positive to me. I don't think the faint-ness of the line matters? It indicates the hormone is there and that's the important thing.

I remember being told that HCG levels doubled at regular intervals in early pregnancy and when I was pregnant with my son, the numbers kept going up but not doubling and I had people saying "sorry, doesn't seem like a viable pregnancy".
I now have a strapping, healthy 4 year old boy.

Thank you - I think I've just read so many horror stories on here that I am questioning everything.

[Bleepers]

Don't keep taking them, it will drive you crazy. My line progression was all over the place and I now have a four month baby!

Try to relax! Congratulations on your pregnancy

Congratulations

Just thought I'd update incase anyone looks back on this post!

I am now 12 weeks pregnant due the end of October

I think my dates were a bit all over the place and I was just a bit too early to test.

All the best x
