Morning all
Today is OTD and I've got a VERY faint second line, does this mean I'm pregnant? We were given a test by the clinic to use. I've attached a photo. I know everyone says 'a line is a line' but I just don't want to get excited if we're just seeing something that isn't there..? I'm 13dp 5dt, should it be darker if I really am pregnant? Arghhhh! Has anyone had a faint BFP and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? Xx
Hey Hun hope all goes well for u it definitely looks like there is a 2nd line there I have a ec on Tuesday so can't wait to have my date to do my test. X
Congratulations!! Why don't you try another test to reassure yourself? I think a line is a line though. Xx
There's definitely a line there, so if you had a bfn yesterday then maybe yours was just a late implanter and HCG has only just become high enough to test. Why don't you buy another HPT today and test again tomorrow morning? I know that's another day of going crazy wondering, but it will give you a bit more certainty. Good luck!
The line did get a bit darker after this photo which is encouraging. And yes I've just ordered a pack of First Response on Amazon that will arrive tomorrow so we can test again - argh another day of wondering! We are leaning more towards being excited now because we can definitely see a line, but it's just a bit disconcerting that it's faint and not the strong dark like like the control line that we were hoping for 😖 Thank you for replying! Xx
Looking a bit closer, It does look like the same HPT test that my clinic use. I remember being surprised that the line wasn't as dark as I had expected but it got darker as our appointment went on but it didn't get as dark as the control line. The only prob with waiting for the Amazon ones is you won't be able to use first urine of the day. Have you got a local store that sells them? x
Yes it definitely got darker in the time afterwards there's no doubt about it, it's a line..! I was expecting it to be darker just because not having ever had a positive test before I just sort of assumed it would be more like the control line. I've read that I can save my pee from the morning (gross) and then use it for the test when it arrives later so I'll try that tomorrow. I'm just paranoid it may be a chemical pregnancy due to it being faint. This process is just one worry after the next! X
Looks good. I agree with what others have said and get a another HPT to do tomorrow. Try and get a really sensitive one that is at least 20mIU/ml, like first response or clearblue digital. I think the amazon one you used is only 10mlu.
Try and enjoy your day today and let us know how you get on x
Yes Flower1979 the Amazon one was 10mlu & I did it around lunch time stupidly (and have noticed since that the expiry date was Oct 2015 🙈), the one I did this morning was 25mlu and I did it first thing. It was also the one our clinic gave us to test. I'm a bit confused about the sensitivity, which one was the more sensitive test? Xx
Just read, you are all sorted!
Congratulations!!! That's definitely a second line....doesn't matter how faint it is 👍👍
Congratulations!! It is definitely a positive test. On my OTD my test stick looked exactly the same. Im now 13wks pregnant! I didnt believe it either and did a clearblue digital and the longed for 'positive' popped up. Enjoy today and congrats again on your pregnancy xx
Thank you Lou! Were you like me & totally doubting that it's a positive?! Did you test the next day as well? It's frustrating as my clinic are obviously shut today 😩 Massive congratulations on your pregnancy, 13 weeks wow you must be buzzing after hitting the 12 week mark! Xx
I had tested early and got a BFN so on OTD i wasnt that optimistic so when I seen a faint line I called in my husband to the bathroom for a 2nd opinion and he said thats a definite line. Still not entirely convinced and as I still had my first pee sample in a cup I used it to do the clearblue. There is no doubt when you see the word pregnant pop up!! 
Yes it is great reaching the 12 week milestone but it hasnt been worry free as Ive had a few episodes of bleeding / spotting which are scary at the time (but thankfully it wasnt anythimg wrong, phew) My advice would be try to relax and enjoy this time and hopefully the time will fly in to your 7 wk scan! Good luck and congrats again xx
Good luck with your pregnancy, sounds like the worry is just never ending ..! Thank you, I'll try and take your advice and relax 
xx
Eeek congratulations, my first line was like this, I tested each day for a few days and it got darker. It's a line!!! So pleased for you.xx
Thanks Kat! I think I will be doing exactly the same as you - testing every day until I see that dark line! It's silly really because if someone had offered me this yesterday I would have grabbed it with both hands, but at the moment I can't help but worry it's 'too faint'! Xx
You will settle into it, it's wierd, you want something so badly for so long, with so much of yourself, that when it happens you can't let yourself believe it because if you do and it isn't real you don't know what you'd do with youself. I don't think I settled into it really until my little girl was a few weeks old, I was walking down the road with her in the pram and it was like someone turned the lights on, and it hit me that all that hope and heartache and desparation and more fight and determination than I knew I had was all over, it was real, and I was living it.
You really have a line, but that will continue to astonish you for a long time yet 😉 enjoy!xxx
Ah thank you Kat 😊 This whole process is one surreal thing after another, and you're so right it's hard to believe something you've wanted for so long might have happened. I'm sure many women on here can identify when I say I am at a point now where I literally cannot imagine being pregnant, and have never seen a positive test before so this is all a lot to take in, esp without getting a strong positive line it doesn't feel real at all. Will test again tomorrow and see what it's looking like..!
Massive congratulations on your little one and I really hope I'm one day in that very position! Xx
Fingers crossed for tomorrow...the joy of IVF...you still don't quite believe it when it's there!!
After you've done your test tomorrow, you could always ring the clinic to explain, they might get you in for a blood test or maybe your GP will
X
Yes that's exactly what I will do 👍🏼 Gutted it's a Sunday and I can't grill one of the poor nurses about the test result! Haha xx
Penny I have just seen this after replying to the previous post!!!! It looks like it's great news YAY!!!! so happy for you but let me know what happens tomorrow when you retest. Eeeeeeeeekkkkk xx
Ah thanks Sarah! It all feels a bit surreal but we've definitely got a positive as the line became quite distinct, pale, but definitely there! 😆 Will test again tomorrow and keep you posted as to what it's looking like. Have everything crossed & not daring to believe I'm actually preggers at the moment. Hope you had a nice time away! Xx
Hello all
Just wanted to let you know that my clinic have confirmed today that my test is definitely a positive! We have our 7 week scan booked for 3 weeks time. Just in total shock but very happy! The wait for the viability scan is going to be even worse I fear..!
