Fading line 😢

[Rfletcher]

Has anyone ended up with a successful pregnancy with a fading line? Tested on Sunday and had the first positive, Monday’s was then a bit darker but today’s is so faint it’s hardly there. 😢

When is your actual test date?!

I’ve always used clear blue and it stated it doesn’t matter how faint or dark the line is, if it’s positive that’s it

[Rfletcher]

It’s today,

I have got positives with clear blue but the test the clinic gave me and a cheep one I had have both shown nothing today. I’m just worried it was all the meds. Xx

They say not to test early if you’ve had egg collection and go straight into a fresh cycle as you ‘could’ still pick up the trigger injection.

Tbh I wouldn’t use anything other then clear blue. Cheap tests I would say arn’t reliable.

If you’ve had a positive, you need to speak to your clinic, if it’s anything like mine they ask you to test on test day. Then test in another 48 hrs to confirm the result. That will give to time to purchase a reliable test

Give your clinic a call and see what they advise. Various tests have different hcg levels, also ensure you are testing in the morning with fmu, all the best x

It was a FET and I have never tested early before it’s just my husband is away so wanted to do it with him. I think I will just have to test again tomorrow. Xx

If it’s a FET you won’t need to worry about drugs being picked up.

The clinics tests are less sensitive than some high street tests, so that can explain a fainter line x

It’s just really deflated me. Need to keep positive until tomorrow. Xx

Hey, I had faint positives on three different tests, two clear blue and one early response (which was a darker positive). I had a blood test following my positive to check my HCG levels and unfortunately for me, they were low and declining (after repeated bloods) and I was diagnosed with an early miscarriage/chemical pregnancy.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the same for you and I want to reassure you that I read so, so many stories of women getting faint positives and going on to have healthy pregnancies but if you can, are you able to check your HCG levels via your doctor? That may give you a definite answer.

Wishing you lots of luck 🍀

I am booked in next Tuesday for my bloods, that’s when my clinic wanted to do it. I phoned them yesterday about it being positive but I haven’t spoken to them about it fading.

Thank you for your honesty, I really do appreciate it. Xx

I’ll be thinking and hoping for the best outcome for you 🦋

Wishing the best for you. It's possible that it could be a chemical pregnancy which I've been through this last round also. I hope that's not the case, I'll keep my fingers crossed it's not 💕🤞

[Rfletcher]

An up date. So I tested on Wednesday morning with a digital clear blue and it said not pregnant. I phoned my clinic and went in for bloods. Only got the results back this evening where they confirmed the negative result.

Back to saving money for another FET, it’s so unfair the postcode lottery with how many rounds you get. When it comes to a hip or knee replacement it doesn’t matter where you live. The NHS is the NHS no matter where you are in the uk.

Sorry, feeling fragile and let down.

I’m so sorry to read this, I was so hoping you would get your good news. Sending hugs x

I’m sorry to hear 💔

It is unfair, it’s utterly rubbish and it’s okay to feel rotten about it all.

Sending you big hugs xx
