Confused?

I’m 3 days late, I didn’t want to get my hopes up so I’ve waited to test, tested today as still no sign of period, there’s what appears to be a very very very faint line, but shouldn’t it be way darker by now if I was pregnant? I’m so tired of this every month I’m late and get my hopes up, I’ve had these faint lines before and not been pregnant, I’m just getting exhausted with this journey now and feel like giving up. I can’t imagine ever seeing a positive on a test 😢

I’ve recently done a clear blue at 2 days late and mine was super faint as well!

@Holly have you done any more tests?x

I’ve done some more with the easy@home and they seem to be gradually getting darker! X

I plan on taking another digital with the weeks indicator in a couple days to see if it moves from 1-2 to 2-3 xxx

@Holly so you’re definitely pregnant? I don’t get why the line is so light at this stage?xxx

Yes, my clear blue said pregnant 1-2 weeks which means I ovulated 1-2 weeks ago ( which matches with my ovulation tests) x I’d test again in 2-3 days time xxx

Have you done a digital? X

@Holly no not yet, I’m scared lol everytime I’ve done a digital one it’s always not pregnant and I don’t want the heartbreak 😞 xxx

I feel you on that one I really do! How long after testing did you read the result? X

It can take around 6-12days to implant after being fertilised and them time for hcg to build up after implantation, could have taken a while? Xx

@Holly about 5 minutes x

False positives are extremely rare so as long as the line appeared within the timeframe then you are pregnant. And if you had these before then you were indeed very briefly pregnant those previous times (chemical pregnancy). Hope the line gets darker in a couple of days for you! Xx

Maybe you’ve implanted later than you think. Test again in a couple of days and see if there is progression. If you’ve had faint lines before, maybe you’ve had chemicals.

@Holly our midwife said that with clear blue weeks tests you are usually a bit further along than it says. It didn’t go to 3+ till I was past 5 weeks xx

@Jamie oh no way!! Thank youu xxx
