Faint Positive Advice

Hi All,

My tests have been consistently faint positives since Wednesday last week. My period is officially late now and my tests are still positive but very faint.

I am obviously only having negative thoughts now so I wondered if there was any success stories on here of people who have gone on to have healthy pregnancies after very faint positives?

Thanks

Hi Mona. If not already done so, try another brand of test stick and see what that says. Good luck! Diane

Thanks Diane

I have pretty much tried all the brands now and they are varying shades of faded positive. Absolutely every single on has been positive but extremely faint.

Hi. Just hang on and see what happens, then see your GP or EPU for a blood test. Diane

Hi,I'm in the same position. It's my official test day today but I've done three tests over the last couple of days and they're all very faint positives. I've used two brands and they're all the same. I also can't help having negative thoughts. I'm going to phone my clinic today, so I'll let you know that they say.

Wishing you lots of luck!

Best of luck to you too. My tests are faint again today but still positive and no signs of my period so I’m really confused

Me too. My test this morning is even fainter than yesterday. It's so stressful isn't it?

It's a nightmare. Every day I just expect the line to be a little darker...and it never is. I think its a chemical

I've spoken to my clinic and they've told me to wait three days then do another test.

I've just done another one (couldn't help myself!) and it looks more positive than this morning. I'm so confused!

Thank you, I'm still not sure though but have everything crossed.Try and sort a blood test, if it's still showing positive surely there's still a possibility. Best of luck lovely.

I'd speak to your GP and see if they can check.

I’ll go to the scan on Friday as I’m still not bleeding but all tests are practically negative now so I’m giving up. Just going to wait for my period

Let me know how you get on Friday x

The only reliable way I found was to get HCG blood tests, ideally two a couple of days apart. Your GP may do them or there are good online companies or walk-in centres. It just took all the uncertainty out of it as you can drive yourself mad looking at lines and for me they were different depending on what time of day I did them (darker in pm) so not easy to compare. Fingers' crossed ☘️

Thank you. I can't seem to find anywhere in my area that does the blood tests for a reasonable price. I had 2 quotes back yesterday that were £125 per test which is just so far out of my budget

my GP was great about doing them but I think it's so variable whether they'll do them or not - seems a bit mad to me as it's a medical issue but sometimes they can be difficult if you're private in particular. I also used an online company, Medichecks and got a combined HCG and progesterone test and think it was about £60. Still not cheap especially if you do two.

The other way I was able to confirm is a digital one. Some of them are good for 6 days prior to the period like clear blue digital with light indicator. Hope you get to the gp soon for confirmation. 🤞🤗❤️🌈🍀

I hate to say this but this was me and a chemical, it went on for two weeks and never got darker. are you on progesterone or anything? that can keep it going. Hope yours is better news xx

I started bleeding today so its all over. I am not on progesterone or anything. Looks like it was a chemical.

So sorry to hear this. I was hoping for a different outcome for you especially with the heartbreak you have already endured xx

in reply to MomaJoni

So sorry lovely, its so hard when you have had that glimpse of hope. Sending you love xx

Sorry to hear this. It's just so devastating isn't it. I feel like I'm in the same boat, but I'm on progesterone x
