Should I go back to the EPU, advice needed!

Long story short, I had surgical intervention for a MMC 5 weeks ago, I was told to test 3 weeks post-op, which I did and the test line was still visible but barely. Called them but said I was happy just to wait it out a bit longer, I tested again the following week and it was completely negative so thought I was fine to leave any follow up. I’ve tested again and got this (done another and it’s the same), should I bother them by calling or wait it out again? No idea if there’s even a second line there or just my mind but some other opinions would be good, thanks!

I think you’re fine. I’ve got good line eyes and can’t see anything on that

I really really had to look for that, I think it’s an indent

Thanks so much to you both for replying! Was playing with my mind a lot, I’ll take another tomorrow just to be sure, but as you said @mojojojooi knew there was something there but it’s absolutely an indent

So sorry for your loss

This may well be an indent and don’t want to add to your stress if you’re not having any other symptoms but I had similar lines on tests after a MMC, I attended EPU a good few times as had ongoing spotting but they said repeatedly their tests were negative (thought I was going mad but I knew I was seeing something)

eventually because of the spotting they put me on the medication for retained products and low and behold a day later I passed some tissue, the bleeding stopped and tests were negative.

hopefully your test today looks negative but if in doubt give them a call, good luck 🤍
