FAINT LINES NOT PROGRESSING. Please help!

[Laurenxx94]

Hello everyone!
I'm currently ttc #2 for 8 months now. I usually am a POAS addict but somehow managed to wait till AF was due on Tuesday and when she never arrived I done a cheap test followed by a frer which was shockingly positive.
I am so over the moon but been googling and googling and can't seem to find the answer.

My tests have not been getting darker and I'm now 4 days late I only confirm O with opks. I had a progesterone test on day 21 and my results showed nothing didn't confirm that I ovulated and didn't confirm I did so now I'm thinking maybe I Ovulated later?
I got a negative digi on Thursday and positive frer since but they haven't been getting much darker. My doctor said to prepare for the worst so I'm hoping others can give me there experiences with this either positive or negative outcomes . Thanks in advance ladies! Il attach some pics in order. Recent clearblue and frer today.

I’m really sorry these do look very faint if AF is now 4 days late. Are your cycles very regular so that you can be quite sure when AF was due? I think all you can really do is keep testing every 2 days and keep your fingers crossed. Wishing you lots of luck

Thanks for your reply! Yes my cycles were 28/29 days religiously but then last month was 31. So I went with 31 days. The only thing I could of ovulated later and Implanted late but I'm not holding out much hope I definitely think I should of seen a progression by now. My clear blue tests have progressed with today's which is baffling me I will attach pic of both. First one done 2 days ago and bottom done this morning 😡xx

Have you tried using afternoon urine?

No actually does that make a difference ? X

My dr was the opposit and told me the line didn't matter as it depends on the amount of dye in the test. Unfortunately for me those cycles have Andes in an early loss but your second lot of photos look dark and they are less sensitive? So 🤞🏻

I always found I got stronger lines in the evening (about 9pm) after a good hold. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks for your response highly appreciated! I'm also sorry for your losses! I didn't know testing at night could do that thanks for the advice il try it out! Hope things are well for you are you still currently ttc xx

I had a positive test this cycle at 11DPO and my tests didn’t get much darker at all. I started bleeding at 18DPO (think AF was five or so days late by then). The worst bit was the not knowing whether things would progress or not 🤯 It could be that you ovulated later as there does seem to be a bit of progression in your tests? Or it could be dilution of urine. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. Take care of yourself either way - it’s a totally horrible thing to go through! 💐💐

Thanks for your reply. Sorry you had to go through that. It's definitely the not knowing that's killing me. I'm 5 days late today and the fact I know I'm definitely pregnant is a pain I wish it was a happy time! Was your test lines like mine? Xx

Hi ladies got my 1-2 weeks on CB digi this morning. Frer still faint but noticeable so OH binned them all just going to let nature take it's course now and will try another weeks indicator a week from today if everything seems ok. Will keep the post updated for future as I know I needed it! X

Great news as the digis are not very sensitive. Hope it is plain sailing from here and you have a healthy pregnancy x

Thanks very much I'm not going to do anymore tests now and just act like I am pregnant and take it from there x

Good luck my lovely. Maybe see if you can get an early scan in a couple of weeks to reassure you?

Yes definitely I'm Going to take my clearblue digi again Friday and if I see more progress will book an early scan x

Just wanted to update this thread as I promised myself I would if anyone else is looking for advice. I started cramping bad and bleeding slightly so waiting on early pregnancy unit to get checked. Will update further more once I have answers.

Well ladies had a early miscarriage pregnancy didn't progress! Best of luck to you all x
