TTC after miscarriage - faint lines on HPT?

[Maybebaby76]

Help!

Ok, I am need of a reality check or a sedative or the on/off switch for my brain!

I haven't been on here for a while...I suffered 2 early mc's last year and decided to give myself a holiday, mentally and physically?.avoidance of all things baby has also helped!

Myself and DH have begun TTC again since Feb and this month I have had 4 very faint lines on HPT's?!?! Help! I'm not sure if reading about this on the internet has helped as I convinced myself that it may just be a chemical pregnancy or just one that is beginning to mc?

I would appreciate any advice?.

Hi MaybeBaby

Are you concerned cos you spotting or any signs of end of pg?

Have you tested early, faint or not those lines are there

Keeping fingers crossed

Hi Pinkie

No spotting...yet. Just feeling super sensitive Because of what has happend before, I have convinced myself that my body is preparing for the same.

AF was due on Sunday but I may have conceived later than I thought?

It's the waiting that drives me crazy...oh and the funny looks I must be getting from the lady in Boots due to all of the tests I keep buying...obsessed much! He hee!

Thanks for the finger crossing!

You could well have ovulated a bit later than you thought.
I'd be inclined to wait a few days and then re-test.
Also, are you using Boots own tests? I have found them very feint in the past. IME a feint line is not necessarily an indicator that all is not well - you really might just be testing a bit early. Oh, and on a FR I don't get a line that's as clear as the control line until I am over 40 days late! (Yes, it is sad that I know that sort of thing but there you go!).

Lots of luck.

Wow, 40 days! You must be so patient

I have used First Response and a few shop own brands.

I know you are right, I just need to wait a little longer, time will tell...

Have you any patience I could borrow? He hee!

God no, I have no patience.
That was at least the tenth test I had done (all positive) and I had had a scan by then. I was just feeling nervous!

That gives me some hope, thanks

MaybeBaby the waiting is awful. I had 3 mcs before my dd was born (the sac that was vaible pg)

Dont worry about the tests i did 2 a day til they got a heartbeat with dd.

I now have to wait too. I got a BFP this am and have been told can have scan on 20th April. Thats 19 sleeps oh to have patience.

Keep me posted.

So sorry to hear about your mcs pinkie but so happy to hear that you now have a dd!

I hold onto the saying that good things come to those who wait

Congratulations on the BFP this morning!

I am TRYING to wait a few more days before I test again...we'll see, he hee!

Please keep me updated with your news and thank you for sharing. It's strange how this baby making malarkey can make you feel so isolated..these forums are just fab!

I agree without this site i would have gone mad. We have been through IVF to get this BFP and its all so scary that you just want someone to say. "I had that its no prob"

Thats how we all get through it i think.

When I had DD the lines on my tests were really faint for days even after AF due. Think I was 10 days 'late' before got a really dark line.

It can depend on how late you OV and when the egg implants, that can all happen later than you think so try not to worry.

Also when you test is important. Do it first thing when the concentration of urine is most strong.

Good luck!

Thanks fifitot

Hey pinkie

Just wondering how you were doing with 13 sleeps to go? x x
