8dp5dt BFP but line getting fainter

I am 8dp5dt. I initially checked on 6dpt5dt surprisingly positive test. I then began spotting yesterday and my clinic advised to
increase my cyclogest oessaries which I have. The bleeding has stopped. But my PT seem to be getting lighter. Would you agree or am I going crazy!

Pregnancy test lines are not an accurate way of tracking. Can you go for a private scan or get one at EPAU?

Kitty992 · 28/01/2025 14:20

I called yesterday they said it’s too early to detect anything on a scan :(. I just feel so deflated. It’s been such a long journey but now I feel ike
maybe it’s just a chemical pregnancy.

I guess I’m just looking for reassurances. I don’t know :(

If anything, they look darker to me. Also, you need to be checking these tests in the same room/lighting. Don't drive yourself crazy. If you feel you need to test, only test every 2 days as that's how long it takes for your HCG to double!

Don't take a darker line as proof for a successful pregnancy. The hormone can stay in your system even are the worst had happened. Only a scan will ease your mind. I would absolutely go get a private scan for peace of mind. Fingers crossed for you

Thank you. I try to talk myself out of it but then end up taking a test again. It’s so difficult not knowing. My clinic have advised not testing until 12dpt but it’s so hard not to do this

Thank you for your advice. Yes I have read darker doesn’t always mean a good sign either.

Hi, the first tests were 10 and the 3rd one was 25 so don’t worry. Take another one of the OG ones, I get it’s darker xx

Hi Lucy
you’ve given me hope. How do you know the last one is a 25? Probably is it’s the one the clinic gave me.

I’ve googled it and get the same answer every time haha! The cross one is just a regular pregnancy test so it’s 25.

deffo do another early one so you can compare, I bet it’s darker😘

Kitty992 · 28/01/2025 15:35

Thank you so much. That’s reassuring. I need to make my way out to get an early test. Although, my cramping and symptoms have stopped. Could all be in my head.

I did end up googling it too. It makes sense. I just used that one as it was in my pack from the hospital.

It’s looking good this morning. I wanted to wait until I’ve got my first urine of the day. I feel so overwhelmed. Xx
