Possible miscarriage? Worried about lines and digital test

13 replies

I am 5weeks pregnant tomorrow and my lines are not as dark as I thought they would be on tests. I took a clear blue digital at 10dpo & 17dpo which said pregnant 1-2 weeks on both of those. I took another digital today at 20dpo and it still said pregnant 1-2 weeks. I’m really worried. I have attached my line strip tests the top 3 are from Wednesday morning and bottom 3 are from this morning (Friday)

Stop testing. They all look fine

All you have at the moment is a missed period so stop testing for another few weeks!!

They look fine. If you get obsessed you need to stop testing

They are darkening. I can see a notable change from Weds to Friday.

Those are all strong positives. These tests are designed to be a 'yes/no' . Not a measure of how pregnant you are

Those tests all look good for 5 weeks, everyone's HCG levels rise at different rates. If you want reassurance I'd recommend getting a private early scan from 6 weeks

I would wait until 7/8 weeks for a private scan. At 6 weeks you’ll likely not see anything anyway.

I never realised multi testing was a thing

They all look fine , so throw them all away and don’t test again.

Stress isn’t good for you or your baby , so no point creating additional worry for yourself

Stop testing, lovely, it will drive you insane. I came on here worried about a line getting fainter when I was maybe bang on or a day shy of 4 weeks pregnant with my son. Posted here and listened to advice to stop testing - not only did I have a healthy pregnancy but I was a week further along than the initial EDD so could be the hook effect, the HCG was actually getting too strong unless I had diluted the urine.

Pregnant with my second now and trying to stay away from all chat of repeated testing and horror stories. I've booked a reassurance scan for 8 weeks and I'm just going to listen to my midwife and GP and follow any symptoms I have until then.

Thanks everyone

im no longer going to test and I’ve booked a private scan for 7weeks 3 days so hopefully all is ok. Thanks again xx

Please wait another week for a scan. A scan at 8+ weeks is far more definitive. Anywhere decent shouldnt scan under 8 weeks.

That's not true - in my country they do a 7 week scan to measure for date, check location of pregnancy etc.

That’s just not true, even the NHS scan from 6 weeks. If OPs dates are right shel easily something, and as she tested positive at 10dpo she’s got a very good chance of seeing something.
