Is the positive line too faint!

Hi all,

It has been about 3 months / cycles since my miscarriage which happened at 13 weeks and I think I might be pregnant again but having been through a few losses my mind is going crazy.

I took two tests today. The first one looked negative however after about ten mins there was the faintest of faint lines. I had also downed a pint of water an hour or so beforehand as I had hiccups so hoping the faint line was due to my urine being diluted. I took a second test a bit later on and the line is a little clearer but still v faint (see pic).

Im worried because in my previous pregnancies I had a much stronger line at this point which showed up right away. My period was due about 5 days ago but hard to tell as my last few cycles fluctuated between 30-33 days. I usually work like clockwork but as I said had an ERPC I know it takes a while for cycles to settle. Just wondered if anyone has been through a similar situation? My first thoughts are that perhaps this is a chemical pregnancy which such a faint line.

Fingers crossed that you ovulated later than you think and that’s why it’s fainter?

It’s frustrating but the only way to really tell is to test again in 24 hours and compare. This looks quite a positive though, mine started out fainter than this and like you say you don’t fully know if your cycles are bang on yet so you could actually be due in a day or 2. Good luck!!

Jumping on this thread, TTC for 2 months and I've just had a strange feeling the past couple days just like how I've felt being very early in my pregnancies before so decided to test. I'm not due on for another 4 days. The strip test was yesterday and the other was this morning, am I going line crazy?!

@Fairy45 @Sarahloudobby I tested again this morn and the line is definitely darker 🙏. Still a long road ahead though until we can completely relax.

@Lorenwest I think I can see something in the second picture. I’ve never actually tested before my period has been due so I think it’s normal to have very faint lines. My lines were faint even with a late period. Best of luck to you ❤️
