Hi there
Wondering if I could call on you for help please.
can't believe I am here. this is number 3 for me, the other two were IVF so totally different kettle of fish.
Fell pregnant naturally last year, miscarried, no heartbeat at 9 weeks.
Pregnant again now, naturally and every time I do a test, the lines are quite faint. They are getting darker but not significantly. I guess my AF was due today, rather irregular cycles and only "indulged" once this month (2 kids, 3 and a half and 2).
My question is, should the lines be getting darker by say 14, 15dpo? In the past, even with m/c pregnancy, they were really dark by now.
Is this a bad sign?
Would my GP give me a blood test?
I just can't face sitting here for 2 weeks praying that something is going on down there and not knowing adn going cross-eyed looking at these lines.
Few symptoms: full boobs, headachey, tired.
Thanks so much

Hi, i've name changed again lol was mumsie, ttc again and thought that one was bad luck lol.

I doubt it, with all that has been going on poor dh has been neglected.

I was due on yesterday but nothing, so annoying i want to hurry and go so we can start trying again :-)

My faint lines pg test is currently asleep in the living room.

I had two weeks of faint lines (never seemed to get darker) till I did a digital one that came up with the word pregnant!

I gave up after that.

Pror to that I had two strong tests and two babies.

One strong test and one MC and one faint line test and another mc. TBH I don't think the darkness of the lines means much at all...

I also believe that too, i was having fait line's when i MC but i also got a "pregnant" on the digital test's and started bleeding a couple of hour's after.

Really dont think they tell you how pregnant just of you are :-)

Hi - i would recommend you buy a clearblue pregnancy test with the words "pregnant" or "not pregnant" - then you will definitely know. You can't know any more than that. I think the lines are often faint in the early stages. Clearblue even tells you how far pregnant you are now - as far as i am aware, i believe you will not get a false positive, only a false negative so pregnant means pregnant. Fingers crossed it all works out for you.
