Positive at 16dpt but faint

[Robbinbird]

Hi, I’m just looking for advice, really some positive outcomes! I have tested since 6dpt and had a faint line, it got stronger but still faint 8dpt but then continued to stay that weak throughout. I feel like my pregnancy hasn’t continued and didn’t progress since implantation, I did had some implantation spotting on day 7, 11 &12. Every time I’ve done a clear blue digital it tells me I’m only 1-2 weeks pregnant but it should be saying 2-3. I have to wait two weeks for my scan but I feel that there will be nothing to see. Could I possibly be pregnant, has anyone else had this before with a positive outcome? I’ve attached todays test photos!

Hey lovely,

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the week indicator tests - they are notoriously unreliable! Can you have a blood test done to check your HCG levels instead?

Thanks! They don’t do blood tests unfortunately at my clinic, I just have to wait for the scan. I worry because my successful pregnancy and even my miscarriage had good positive lines 😢

Have you tried a FRER test instead? The pink dye is usually more reliable xx

[Robbinbird in reply to Millbanks]

I started off with trying clear blue early detection and it comes up with that but it’s still light. The problem is that it’s not getting any darker xx

[Millbanks in reply to Robbinbird]

It will take at least 48 hours for it to double - hopefully you’ll notice a difference soon xx

I’ve been testing for 10 days with no change, I guess I will just wait for the scan, I have little hope now but thanks!

Hi Robbinbird. I think it’s looking promising. Could you ask your GP to arrange a Beta hCG blood test. Good luck. Diane

Thanks for replying. They don’t do the blood tests unfortunately!

Just to say, you can order bloods from home with medichecks , you can get repeated HCG. Good luck 🤞

Oh that’s good to know, thanks! Might wait for my scan now in two weeks as all the pregnancy tests I’ve used should have shown a change by now.

hi just wondering if there is an update please how did you get on? Hope all is well 🤞🏼xx

Hi, thanks for asking, I ended up having a pregnancy in an unknown location so was in and out of EPU for three weeks with multiple scans and blood tests. They were worried it was an ectopic but ended up being in my womb and it wasn’t progressing as fast as it should.xx
