Anyone had very faint lines and gone onto have a successful pregnancy?
I had these positives yesterday but ive retested today and the line isn't going any darker? I had a chemical earlier in the year so im a little worried this is going to be the same.

Congratulations OP! They're not faint at all! HCG doubles every 48 hours so you wouldn't expect it to be much darker after a day. Pregnancy tests can't tell you anything about progression as so many things influence your urine composition etc. It's so hard when you've experienced a loss. The anxiety is just always there. But look at the here and now, you are pregnant! Put the tests away if at all possible as they won't change anything. Congrats again and here's to a healthy pregnancy🤞🏼

I know how you feel it really is so tough. Easier said than done to try not to worry, but do the best you can. In early pregnancy I think the best approach is distraction techniques! Busy yourself as much as humanly possible to pass the days, that's the only thing that worked for me. I find when you're alone and bored your thoughts just run away with you x
