17dpo line :-(

[zxf]

Hi, can anyone tell me your advice or experiences with lines like these? I had a leak LH 17th Sept so my app is telling me I ovulated 18th Sept. The lines aren’t looking great are they? I don’t know if to buy a clearblue digital, ask for blood test or quite simply wait it out. I’m likely to go with the wait it out option.
I also have no symptoms bar some discharge and constipation! Cannot and will not accept I’m pregnant at this stage due to previous losses and I just feel so disheartened.

Personally I’d wait it out. I had two that were like this re lines not getting stronger. One ended in a chemical and one ended in a missed miscarriage.

I’d keep testing every other day and monitor it. I wouldn’t bother with digitals or blood tests just yet.

I hope it all turns out ok and it’s just a slow rise! Best of luck! Xx

Those tests suck for dark lines. I’d try another brand before trusting the saturation of colour on those.

I looked at the reviews on Amazon and recent ones were pretty poor tbh. Lots of people saying the lines don’t show very well for progression. Decided to go into Tesco like a ninja/shoplifter trying to hide them yesterday (saw 3 people I knew in there!!!) and bought a digital. It’s showing up 2-3 which chatgbt tells me is right for this stage so I’ll keep the other and hope it says 3+ by weekend.
I’ll keep the thread updated, if anyone like me is frantically searching at a later date. 18dpo. Still keen to hear if anyone else has experiences too, god this is just horrible tbh! Pregnancy after loss is a different ball game.

Hey that’s great! Hopefully it is just dud tests.

23 dpo looking remarkably darker. Clear blue still says 2-3 though which is disheartening but I will try again Monday. Clearly my HGC is going up so hopefully it’ll be good news 🤞

how are you doing OP? In a similar position myself!

Hi @MaltWispa hope you are doing ok, such a nerve wracking time.
I am still pregnant (as far as I know!!). Had a scan at just gone 7 weeks and saw the heartbeat, all looks fine and healthy!
I’m 8+4 now with my booking in appt on Friday. I don’t think I’ll feel ‘settled’ until I’m at least 20+ weeks due to a previous loss but taking it day by day. Keeping everything crossed for you 💐

Aww I'm so happy to hear that ❤️ completely understand that you won't feel settled until the 20+ week mark - keeping all my fingers & toes crossed for you ❤️

I'm trying to avoid serial testing as that's not helping the nerves - I did a digital test on Wednesday, said not pregnant (but got faint positives on other tests) and then did another digital test on Friday which said pregnant (but lines didn't look any particularly darker on strip tests). I'm just hoping that the fact that the digital test (which aren't as sensitive apparently?) had changed within two days and I'm just sticking my head in the sand until I have the various upcoming appointments! 😂
