Very faint positive 6 weeks after miscarriage...scared of miscarrying again

[Caroline83]

Hello,

I first came on this amazing forum about 10 weeks ago when I was first pregnant. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended at 11 weeks, and although I have struggled to come to terms with that loss, I have just started to deal with it and we decided to try again. Anyway, I was due on yesterday and took a test, which showed a very faint line. The same has happened today (the line doesn't show up straight away) and I am terrified that the faint line means that my hormone levels aren't high enough and that it means I'll miscarry again...

I guess I'm looking for reasurance that the faint line is because I'm so early and completely normal!?

Any help / words of comfort would be really lovely at the moment.

My first pregnancy, the line was quite faint at 16dpo, and this time it's faint but not too bad at 13dpo. It can take a while to get a strong line, hang in there and stay as calm as you can!

Did they test your levels after the MC to 0? It's possible it could still be from the MC.

Thanks both for replying.

I'm pretty sure it's not from my last pregnancy. We've been trying this month and I was testing negative 10dpo, so it's a new baby. I took a digital this morning and it said pregnant, so I'm going to stop testing, relax and try and take one day at a time.

Thanks x

That's a great attitude, I hope I can do the same! Good luck!
