    Hi Emmy,

    Emmy1, I'm sorry to say, but it may have been a chemical pregnancy. It's when the egg implants, but then falls away like a period often resulting in a positive pregnancy test and then a period a couple of days later. Many women don't even know they have had a chemical pregnancy, they just think their period is a few days late. You would only know if you are testing very early, as in your case.
    Maybe you could try a few other brands? just to make sure.

    Ok so here's the latest... I don't know if I actually have my periods because this would be about the 2nd/3rd day and usually by now i would have a full-blown flow (sorry tmi i know), but i don't; there's not much there at all. so i think i might do another hpt tomorrow morning. maybe i tested too early? then again, i guess it could be a chemical pregnancy tash.

    thanks gals,
    will keep you posted.

    Hmm, sounds promising. Early pregnancy bleeding is not uncommon. Good luck and keep us posted

    This is a bit of a stupid question, but if you pee a couple of times in the middle of the night, then test when you get up, is the urine diluted?? I would have thought not so it would be FMU, but I did a test this morning and a second line came up but it wasn't as dark as the control line.
    I had a HCG injection on Sunday night (1500iu) which I am pretty sure has a half life of 30 hours (approx) so I should have an HCG of around 300 at the moment. shouldn't I??? If so, why was the test line fainter???

    I am 11dpo or 9dptdt.

    ETA - I used a First Response Early Response

    I am not sure how the injection would change things but as long as you didn't drink anything I would have thought the pee would not be considered diluted. Especially if there is a few hours between pees. I wouldn't read much into the darkness of the line, as it can vary slightly from batch to batch
