I have been told my a Dr the darkness of the lines usualy just means there is a lot of little ink in it. I wouldn't owrry in the slightest that the line isn't getting darker. Mine didn't get darker for a while and I am into a very healthy pregnancy.
I can completely understand your worry, but just sit back and enjoy being preg again. Take care of yourself and a HUGE congrats to you!!!
I'm sitting here in tears, so overwhelmed by the support!! LOL, thanks so much for your responses.
Emmy - that's very informative. I didn't know that they had anything like that at the hospital. I rang around and found a 24hr medical centre and although they were booked out, I told the nurse about my previous ectopic and she was great. She got me in at 7am this morning. So I've just had some bloods taken. The ultra sound isn't going to show anything for a few more weeks so I have to rely on blood work for now. will have results of the first quantitative test in 2 days, then i'll most probably need another. The doctor there also suggested the emergency room for anything as they'll triage me high priority due to my ectopic history. Your message was so beautiful, i really needed to hear that. thanks.
Pish, thank you and congrats to you also!!! You're probably right about the ink part too. I decided to ease my mind that I would try a different test just to be sure. I have been using forelife and first response and getting faint lines... so i bought a clearblue this morning and their lines are blue unlike the others which are pink.. so it looked a little darker to me. Perhaps they're more sensitive though? And you are so right Pish, I should be happy not worried! Its just a little easier said than done! haha.
Either way.. my blood work should give me some answers... I just wish it could happen faster!! LOL.
hope the BT puts your mind at ease, i have found the clearblue to be nicer to use than the FR...but that's just me...i find the pink like too hard to decipher...at least blue knows what it is doing lol!
I know it's impossible not to worry ciara.e, so big ..but love it is so early still..Try and hang in there and just enjoy the fact that you are starting to grow a little miracle!
Thanks guys
Cassius, so glad u agree about the test colour! haha... pink on white just isn't as definate as blue on white haha.
Lee , Pish... thanks! You guys are starting to make me feel a little excited! And Pish, you know i didn't have him mark it urgent on the BT... completely forgot that part! I might give them a call now. Either way i guess it doesn't matter if its a one day wait or a ten day wait haha.. it's all going to feel like ten years!! haha.
So i guess this whole TWW is more like a 3 month wait isn't it? lol.
Feeling pretty good about this one now.. Thanks everyone!!
Its all got to do with how well the protein sticks to the ink on the test. A faint positive is just as good as a dark positive. I'm around the same gestation as you, and am still getting faint positives on 10miu tests. Slightly getting darker, but they are still faint.
