Line too faint?

Hello everyone!
i currently have an almost 4 year old and have now been trying to conceive for a little while.
Sadly last year I had a MC at just under 11 weeks.
i really want this baby to stick. All my tests have been positive but faint.
My period is due either today or tomorrow. Do you think this line is too faint? I’m just worrying.

It’s positive and you’re potentially testing a day early? I don’t think ‘line progression’ is accurate at telling you anything. Don’t stress, a positive is a positive!

Thank you! It’s hard not to sometimes 😣

I understand the anxiety everyone TTC feels with faint lines etc, I had a MMC in Sept which resulted in a major hemorrhage and emergency surgery! All tests are different and some will show darker then others, that's a strong line if you haven't actually missed your period yet!! I'm currently 6 weeks myself and as much as my anxiety wants me to poas daily I know it doesn't prove anything. If your concerned about progression speak to your gp and they may test your hcg every few days to see if it rises, but again this isn't a garentee of progression. Mother nature can be a cruel mistress!! 🤞 for a sticky bean x

I’m so sorry to hear this! The exact thing happened to me, haemorrhage and surgery.
Thanks so much and I hope all goes well for you too x x

Sorry for your previous losses, my tests for both DDs were the same as yours, one on the day my period was due the other a couple of days before, they took a while to get dark, they are now a 2 and 9 year old

I don't know if you have been told this by your gp or from the midwives but 150mg of aspirin is good to take and helps reduce some risk to MC, I was taking 75mg daily after I'd finished the clexane following my blood transfusion and when I got my BFP I upped it to 150mg on advise from my gp. Spoke to a senior midwife I know and she said that was a great idea, it doesn't do any harm xx
