Very faint line 6 days late?

Hello! I've been getting very very faint lines all week. I'm now 6 days late (and breastfeeding so I wouldn't have thought anything about it) so it seems like they should be darker right now. They're 100% there and coming up in under a minute but they're about as faint as they can possibly be so I'm a little worried. Would love to hear people's similar stories, succesful or not? I'm unsure you'll even see it on the pics....

Hi,

I had a Chemical Pregnancy last year (while breastfeeding) and sadly this is similar to what happened to me, I kept getting light positives but the line never got dark - this went on for about a week and then I started to bleed.

Obviously pregnancy tests can't really tell you anything at all beyond whether or not there is some HCG in your body. There are so many variables affecting the strength of the line, so you never know you may have a healthy pregnancy in there! Hard as it is to wait, only time will tell.

I would say though, that if the lines continues to be faint and you don't start bleeding in a few days you might want to get checked to rule out an ectopic.

Wishing you all the best. Keep us posted.

Thanks! I did have a chemical last month but starting bleeding after a few days. Hopefully this one sticks but i'm prepared just in case, hoping I'll find out one way or another soon. Sorry to hear about your chemical xx
