Hun you are only 4 weeks 3 days pregnant - I would be expecting your tests to look that faint (which from here btw it doesn't look especially faint - still got a nice pink obvious line there - if you look at the first strip test you took, the line from this morning is a lot darker than that one isn't it!

All this worrying is not going to help you, and it won't be good for the baby - your bababean needs a nice chilled out mummy

...I hope I don't sound harsh but you are going to drive yourself crazy if you carry on like this! Have you made an appointment at the doctors yet to book in your pregnancy and start your antenatal care? Hunni you ARE PREGNANT! Try to enjoy yourself rather than worrying about it all the time... It won't do any good.

You could see a doctor if it will make you feel better - but there's not much AE could do as nothing would show up on a scan this early, if they did anything it would likely be bloods, an then you would have to go back in at a later date to get more bloods done - the whole thing would just be so stressful...

Like has been said already, different tests have different sensitivities and some just show a lighter line for the same amount of hCG where another brand might show a dark line - and so using different brands you are likely to get lighter lines on some than others - that doesn't mean the level of hCG in your body has dropped, just that the test responds differently to that amount of hCG. I would recommend stop testing altogether - if you are going to test you could use a digi conception indicator one (to reassure you you have the right amount of hCG for this stage in pregnancy) or an FRER - I bet you would get a nice dark line on the FR now

Best of luck sweety - do TRY to relax and stop testing - for your own (and baby's!) sake xxxx xxxx

[JASMAK]

I was going to say, that the line you think is sooo faint, really isn't that faint at all!!! I can see it clear as day!!! Congrats!!! You are going to worry yourself sick!!! LOL!

 

[DiddyDons]

i think it may be that you dont have enough HCG yet...
it also depends what tests you use aswell....it could be that your using a less sensitive one...
i think everything will be ok hun, just try not to test for a few days!

xxxx

MAMMAG-

I am so sorry that you experienced that loss. The same EXACT thing JUST happened to me. I was getting faint positives and negatives here and there. But, after having two previous healthy and happy pregancies, I assumed I was pregnant again and started looking forward to having another baby. I couldn't figure out though, why the lines weren't getting any darker.

THEN, I started cramping and spotting for a few days, and last night at 2:00am I began to miscarry. I am feeling quite devastated today. I am sure my hormones aren't helping my case.

I was actually hoping that you could tell me that I will start to feel better. I realize I was barely into my fifth week, but for some reason that doesn't make it any easier for me. I have been deeply affected by this loss, and I am feeling very depressed. My husband said he isn't sad at all, which makes it worse for me. He obviously doesn't understand how this could be affecting me, so I now feel like I am somehow being irrational and that I need to hide my true feelings from him.

I am hoping that these feelings will fade, but the wound is still so fresh right now. Thanks for any input. I am new here, and I have no idea what I am doing!!!

You will feel better. and i'm sorry that your husband is not very sensitive to what you are going through. but, mine wasn't either. i just think that it is so not real to them, that it just doesn't affect them the same. But i can PROMISE that you will feel better. not today and not tomorrow, but you will. after the bleeding stops and you get another normal cycle, you can commit yourself to trying for another baby, and it has really helped for me to have another little life to focus on, rather than focusing on the little life that wasn't meant to be here.

about hiding your feelings from him, many will tell you NOT to do that, but that is exactly what i did. Until about 3 days after the m/c when he was mad that i hadn't cooked supper yet, and i completely freaked out on him. I just couldn't believe how little he seemed to care about it. seeing me cry (i never cry) and yell at him kind of pounded it through to him. and he didn't hassle me for any kind of chore for a long time afterward. but we also haven't really talked about losing the baby either. but I do feel better. I think about it, of course, and i think it's a little harder everytime i see a negative test now than it was before the miscarriage. speak to your doctor though if you show any true symptoms of depression resulting from this that last after a few weeks. Your hormones will be crazy for a while, and so mood swings and sadness are the norm. but anything too serious or lasting too long should be addressed immediately. you'll know whether or not you should ask for help. if you need to talk, please PM me. i'm here all the time.
