BFP 9dp5dt but more faint line next evening

[Louanne33]

hi ladies,

I know I shouldn’t have but I decided to test yesterday morning, as had a good feeling I would get a positive, following what I believe was implantation bleeding last Wednesday. My OTD is Wednesday (29th). The line indicating a positive result came up pretty much straight away and was very prominent but following some cramping tonight I decided to test again. Wish I hadn’t as it’s very faint and I’m now convinced it’s a chemical pregnancy. Does anyone have any similar success stories to this? Just looking for some reassurance (as always). Will obviously test again in the morning and Wednesday. I am hoping that my hcg level is maybe just low as it’s so early and night urine more diluted, but maybe just wishful thinking. Xx

Hey always test in the morning my first cycle I was testing morning and evening and was always disheartened in the evening but the next morning it was a stronger positive... what tests are u using? I use first response they are quiet good xx

Thanks for your reply. Was the clear blue ones. I was just so delighted yesterday morning as it came up pretty much straight away and was a clear line but tonight’s is so faint that my husband is struggling to see it. I will test again in the morning and pray that it’s just because it’s early and night urine will be more diluted/hcg levels harder to detect. I guess my OTD isn’t until Wednesday so hoping for a miracle. Xx

I've always been told the clear blue you need quiet a bit of hgc in your urine to detect... First response is alot more sensitive I'm 7dp 5dt and have a very strong positive using first response x

Aww congratulations- that’s great. I’ll try not get any more worked up as have just cried for half hour. I’ll check again in the morning 🙏🏼 xx

Fingers crossed for you in the morning let me know how you get on xx try and rest don't think about it grab a cuppa and get some sleep xx

Thanks ladies. I tested again using the clear blue digital and it said ‘pregnant 1-2 weeks’. I was worried that it should say 2-3 weeks at this stage but I looked back to my first successful fresh cycle in 2019 that gave me my beautiful daughter and it was 1-2 weeks on OTD then a week later changed to 2-3 weeks and another week later was 3+ so here’s hoping this one is the same. It’s just all these cramps and twinges that freak you out! This really is the biggest rollercoaster of emotions. I was on such a high on Sunday and last night couldn’t stop crying, thinking that was me out xx

Congratulations on your positive test, that's wonderful news! Those CB digital test are notoriously confusing and can be perceived as rather unhelpful when all we want is reassurance in those early weeks! Will your clinic offer a hCG blood test on your OTD for you and then do a repeat test? I've always found the hCG blood levels more comforting until that first viability scan. Levels are still very individual to every woman but as long as you observe a steady increase chances are your pregnancy is viable. Unfortunately, only time will tell regardless of which method you choose to check on progress, you are pregnant right now and that's wonderful, may this be the one for you! xx

[Louanne33 in reply to DreamingOfTwo79]

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I just test and email the hospital with my result. Would much rather be able to check my hcg levels, as would maybe provide some more reassurance, rather than constantly feeling the need to test! I am trying to remain as positive as I can and try not to obsess over things! It’s very difficult though, as you’ll know ☺️ xx

[DreamingOfTwo79 in reply to Louanne33]

I see, perhaps your GP might be accommodating especially given you had a miscarriage previously? Companies like Medichecks also offer hCG blood testing, it is worth looking into if you'd like more reassurance. Good luck to you, you're doing brilliantly! xx

hey lovely I’ve always tended to test with first response, it could just be a funny test as I had a fainter line with my second baby after a stronger one the day before. With our first fresh cycle I went from a bfp to fainter tests and it ended in chemical. I would probably try again tomorrow if you have anymore then show lines and test in the morning. All the best lovely xx

[Louanne33]

Thank you for your reply. I will maybe get a first response test later and do it in the morning. I had a chemical this time last year so really hoping it’s not the case this time. I guess I just need to try and be patient and positive and hope everything works out. Xx
