Hello,

I’m really worried as with my previous pregnancies, the line showed up straight away and with this one it takes a good few minutes and it look light to me.

thank you

I’d say pregnant. I found out at 4 weeks pregnant and some of them were faint or none at all. (I was pregnant) x

Did you track ovulation? Could have been a later ovulation? Thats a positive test regardless. I guess now you just see if it progresses nicely

Thank you for your reply!
No I didn’t actually track my ovulation or my periods, I just went by what I read online that a pregnancy test is likely to be positive without FMU on the first day of a period.
I don’t know whether I’m completely wrong or not.

This is the progression between the one from last night and the one Intook this morning, there’s a small progression and the line appeared quicker.
I have massive health and death anxiety so I might be overthinking it but I’m not sure

Thats great progression. Just remember your hcg doubles every 2 to 3 days so you will see more progression if you leave the testing for every other day instead of every day.
