Faint line and some spotting

I had a double transfer on 9th October so will be 10 days today. Yesterday was AF due date and I had some pink and brown discharge but no flow and I have zero cramps which doesn’t happen when AF comes, I always have some cramps. I tested yesterday and had faint line on clear blue early. I assumed the faint line was because it wasn’t first wee. I tested again this morning with first wee and the line is still faint on clear blue, first response and a HCG strip test. Should I be worried this is a chemical or could it be implantation bleed and faint lines like mine are ok for day 10? My last transfer was a chemical that faded around this time so I am worried!

Cautious whispered congrats. I would maybe get some blood HCGs done? Squinting at sticks becomes a stressful and often pointless exercise as they are not meant to be quantitative - they can only say that right now you have HCG in your blood.

I’m sorry that I’ve had two bad experiences with faint lines too - a biochemical that became negative after spotting, and an ectopic pregnancy where lines progressed so slowly and HCGs showed acceptable rise but less than doubling and then was proven ectopic on scan.

Hoping your story turns out differently and this is just a late implanter and you’ll see some good progress on two blood HCGs 48 hours apart 🤞🏼

oh bless, I have no advice for you but just wanted to say I know how stressful this can be. Squinting at sticks is awful. When is official test day? Maybe get a digital so the line guess work is taken out of it xx

hey lovely I would say it’s quite light for 10 day days past on a FRER in my own experience but you never know with a FeT it can take a little longer to implant. The spotting doesn’t mean much I’ve had that with successful rounds, chemicals and negatives in fact I bled with my little boy the most but the no cramps is a a good sign in my experience. Fingers crossed it gets darker for you xx

Could you get a digital test that will be more specific one way or another? Wishing you the best of luck! Xxx

Hi. Only just seen this but if the spotting is continuing, then keep drinking plenty of water in case you have some infection. Good luck. Diane
