I think I’m 17dpo (don’t know when I ovulated) I’m just going by my lmp. I thought I was having w cp due to tests being faint and digitals being negative. Then Monday came and I got a 1-2weeks on Clearblue but my lines are still very faint. Scan is on 11th May, I’ve been panicking and crying all morning. I’ve had 4 losses already and I just can’t really take this anymore.

Reassurance please?

I’m sorry but this is a bit too faint.

Can you do a frer? I don't think these cheap ones are great

My thinking exactly! I'd expect a lot more progression by now.

None of the shops/pharmacies near me stock them anymore. I ordered some on Amazon but they won't be here till tomorrow unfortunately.

There could be many reasons why the tests are faint.
With my first pregnancy, my first positive was so faint, but a digital test came back positive just a few hours later.
My consultant done a strip test at approx 5 weeks pregnant and it was that faint, they told me it was likely a CP. My little one is now 5!
Sending best wishes and hope it's a sticky one!

I've attached a picture of my BFP. Some people seen it as being a bit too faint, but a positive is a positive!

As PP said there are so many reasons tests can be faint.
I wouldn’t worry too much as, like you say, you don’t know when you ovulated, you could be 12dpo or something and then it wouldn’t be too faint at all. Especially with only getting the digital positive 2 days ago.
I know it’s hard but it’s still positive and that’s all you need to think about until someone tells you for sure otherwise 💖

@FigBatSue and @Jaggy1 thank you for your supportive words. Unfortunately today’s test is negative and I’m starting to spot with some heavy cramping. I’m also 5 weeks today so I believe this is still classed as a chemical.
