So i tested very faint positive on 31st of December and now i am testing all negative but my urine is a little dehydrated... I haven't had a period since November 2022 and now i am worried i am not pregnant, i have no bleeding or cramping just bloated.... I was just wondering if anyone has experience this please

I had sex on 3rd of December and the 6th of December some people have lobe hgc levels so not everyone is going to have a strong positive, in my case i most likely ovulated lately or possible missed miscarriage which i have to wait until the 12 weeks scan as i dont have any symptoms and i cant afford private atm... My first positive was on the 31st December 2022

Hmmm yea so you should be 6+ weeks and I'd imagine you'd be getting stronger positives by now.
Is there an early pregnancy unit you can go to?

They said to me that not all people have strong positives it could be because my hcg is low... They said all i can do is wait for any "signs" and call 111 as i am soo early the scan probably wont show the fetus hense why i have to wait for 12 week scan unless i want to pay private which i cannot afford... I dunno but thats what ive been told wish i could pay private tbh

I'm not sure why they would say nothing would be seen on scans at this point 🤔 you should be around 8 weeks by now, I had my first scan around 5 weeks and could see sac etc and then another a week later that showed the heartbeat
I would request at a minimum two blood tests 48hrs apart to see if hcg is doubling, two vvfl tests separated by a handful of negative tests is something that warrants looking into

If your 6+ weeks it would show on a scan

That's very strange, however I can't see a line on either of your tests?

If you don't want to be pregnant as you say, why don't you book for a TOP - they scan you then. If there is a pregnancy there, they'll be able to see something by this point.

It could be that you're using dodgy tests, but by this point you should get a strong positive.

To those saying it could be the hook effect, I had a few scares during all three pregnancies and kept testing to reassure myself - i was still getting strong positives up until 12-14 weeks when I stopped testing.

keepaweatheredeye · 17/01/2023 16:57

Your local hospital will have an early pregnancy unit and your GP can refer you to that - they will scan after 6 weeks and the scans are free. Just do that:

flowers1988 · 17/01/2023 16:58

You'll be able to something on a scan. I seen heartbeat just before 6 weeks before. I work for 111 and we can't refer to any early pregnancy clinics etc would have to be a clinician or your gp. I'd call you gp back and say that you want a scan. Between the 31st and today you should of had a decent line come up on a test x

Lindtcat · 17/01/2023 16:59

Try go to your nearest epu. This doesn't sound right at all to me. I had a scan at 8 weeks and if definitely showed. Very strange your tests aren't darker by now either. Get checked out as soon as possible OP

Whataretheodds · 17/01/2023 17:04

Try to contact your local Early Pregnancy Unit directly.

ratherbthedevil · 17/01/2023 17:06

The test you posted looked faulty or the dye was still running. If you have had only negative tests since then I might be inclined to thing that test from the 31st was faulty.

Im going to try and book the doctors appointment as today they were fully booked at 8 am....The dye was still running in the test when i posted it, but yes i don't think it sounds right i tried cheap test asda like a couple of weeks ago no line appeared, its hard to see in the pictures but the line is visible but very faint...

@Nisathemummy yep you’re right the GPs don’t know much but they can refer you to EPU for a scan or do HCG bloods 48 hours apart to check the levels.

I’m in agreement with the other posters that they will definitely be able to see on a scan by now considering you last had sex on the 6th December as ovulation would have likely been max 5 days after that if you’re pregnant which would put you at least 7 weeks. There may not be loads to see but there will be something there to confirm you’re pregnant or if it’s a missed miscarriage etc.

I’m sorry you’re going through a confusing time as I can see a line on those tests I would be confused too.

allgoodthings84 · 17/01/2023 18:28

and I can see a line on those tests that meant to say

I have just come from the doctors they did a pregnancy test and it confirms i am indeed pregnant, as for the blood test they don't offer it at my doctors as i have no previous records of miscarriages or eptopic and high risk pregnancy, they are not booking me in for a scan as i am not cramping or bleeding, but they did say i can book private which i can't afford as for the hcg levels every woman is different so it doesn't matter how faint the pregnancy test is or how many weeks pregnant u are i am still pregnant according to them... Some woman have low hcg levels that doesn't mean its a concern thats what they stated

If you are indeed 9 weeks you need to refer to a maternity service to have your booking appointment. Or did your GP refer you ?

I am not 9 weeks i am 7 weeks and a bit according to the doctors, they have already referred me

allgoodthings84 · 18/01/2023 13:46

If you last period was 19th November then you would be 9 weeks on Saturday until they do a scan they would know no different. I’m not sure why they are telling you 7 weeks without a scan. My last period was 17th November and I’m 9 weeks tomorrow but I know it will be slightly adjusted at my scan but until then it’s 9 weeks by midwives and nhs

Because i know the date i conceived and i was on the pill so they said approximately 7 weeks and 6 days
