Line progression?

Hi ladies,

Has anyone ever had a slow line progression that turned out well? I have had 3 miscarriages in a short space of time the first 2 started out with strong clear lines and the chemical started with a weak line at 12dpo that never got stronger. Just trying to prepare myself for the worst as I would have expected the test line to be very dark by 16dpo. Thanks

I’m so sorry for your losses. I had 5 early losses in 2022 - have you been referred to the recurring mc clinic? It is so hard to tell isn’t it? In my own experience I would expect them to be darker at 16dpo but maybe you ovulated later? Are these all AM tests? Wishing you all the best

Thank you so much for replying. So sorry for your losses too. Yes I have just had the tests done but no results yet. Yeah I would definitely expect them to be darker too. Its such an exhausting journey. Hope you got your happy ending.

So sorry for your losses. Following as I’m in a similar situation with slow progression. Around 4w5d today. Wishing you luck

@abcdyzim 4w5 too and having slow progression so preparing for the worst 🙁

abcdyz · 15/10/2025 17:50

@Mum285have your lines gotten much darker since? I had a fainter line this morning and none of my lines have been as dark as the control so I’m a bit worried it’s not progressing as it should be

Mum285 · 15/10/2025 18:27

@abcdyz not much progression unfortunately. Yesterday lines were darker a little bit and today they seems the same but far from being as dark as control line I know I’m miscarrying I can feel it

abcdyz · 15/10/2025 18:34

@Mum285its so hard isn’t it. It’s good that it was a bit darker for you yesterday. How are your symptoms? Mine have eased off lots the last couple of days but I know they can fluctuate so trying not to panic

Mum285 · 15/10/2025 18:47

@abcdyzits so hard 😫😢I just don’t see good progress on my tests I just know it’s not viable pregnancy 🙁by now I had dye stealer with my previous baby. I had lots of pregnancy symptoms but when my tests start getting lighter few days ago all symptoms gone and temperature dropped too. I do have on and off cramps

Mum285 · 16/10/2025 08:36

@abcdyz I started bleeding today so chemical pregnancy. I hope you ❤️

abcdyz · 16/10/2025 08:47

@Mum285 I’m so sorry love. I started bleeding late last night too. Make sure you are gentle with yourself x
