Very faint line

Hi everyone,
I still have 6 days to go untill AF is due. I tested 3 days ago with fortel ultra and got a very very faint line. I then tested the next day and also got a faint line.
I tested again yesterday morning with first response and got a darker line althoght still very faint. Could i be preganant or is it to early for the tests to give me the right answer.
Thankyou so much
Amber

Hey Amber, yes it is possible for it to detect pregnancy so early if the lines are appearing within the allocated time frame.

Hang out two days, and test again, then you should get a nice thick dark line :)

One of our girls in the TTC thread but a positive at 6DPO, we think it has to be a record! So Amber it is possible, good luck!!

Thankyou so much girls
I feel much better so that makes me 3 weeks preganant
YAY
Thanks again
Amber

hey Amber, I tested 6 days before AF was due and got a very faint line also. If you are really keen to find out, go and grab one of those digital pregnancy tests from the chemist. I used that and got a Pregnant result straight away :) Its saves the umming and ahhing, but it definitely sounds like you are pregnant. Congrats!!

I was thinking about thoses ditgital ones. I think i will get one on monday and hopefully will get a nice positive result straight away.
Also another quick question if i may.
How early can you book into the hospital where you plan to have your baby??
And do i need a docs referal or can i just book myself in?

Thanks again
Amber

You need to call the hospital to see what their policies are. Some hospitals book out very quickly so it can be a good idea to book straight away :)

ooh goodluck on Monday Amber!
Hope it's a nice bold BFP for you :)

As they say, "A line is a line". Congratulations on your BFP. Can't wait to hear the results of your HPT on Monday.

Thanks so much girls!!
Im so overwelmed at the support you recieve on this forum. Its great.
I cant thank you all enough.
I will definatly let you know monday how i go
Thanks again
Amber

Hi Amber,

I was getting faint BFP's a week before AF was due. It wasnt til AF was dues when i brought the digital test that confirmed all the faint lines!

Like the others said a line is a line!!

Cant wait to hear your announcement on Monday!!

Congratulations Sweetie!

Hi everyone
I did a crystal clear test today around lunch time and it was a BFN.
Im so upset. i got three faint positives last weeks so why a neg today????

I will do another one in the morning and i suppose that AF still isnt due till friday so i could still be in luck.

I wish i had never tested!!!!!

:cry:

Hi.
With my last pregnancy I got a very feint line, then when I tested again, The line was almost impossible to see, I done another test, and It was the same...I was so confused, so I opted for a blood test to see If I really was pos...Maybe If you are still concerned try and get a blood test???
Good Luck, My fingers are crossed..

Amber- i first tested 7days before AF was due and got very faint line with prgnosis clear.
i continued testing each day with very faint lines, but when i tested with First response, crystal clear and diagnois (think thats what its called) i got BFN's. some are much more sensitive then others but if u already have three BFP's guess what... CONGRATULATIONS!!!
i would book in a gp appoint so u can go get a BT to confirm.

Amber I agree with Nic. Make an appt with your GP and get a blood test to get a confirmation either way. Fingers crossed for you. Let us know how you get on.

Thanks so much for your replys!!!
I feel much better. I did a ditgital test this morning and it came up not pregnant but when i ejected the cartridge there was a definate second line. So i dont know why it waid not pregnant.
Can i still ask for a blood test even though im not late for AF yet???
Thanks
Amber

yep. i had a BT on The Monday & AF wasnt due until the Thursday of that week.

Ooh - Amber, I hope that those lines a real for you! I tested with very faint lines 6 days before AF due and did a million tests to make sure. I would def get a blood test!

Good luck!

gigi

DUE ANZAC DAY!

It's sounds like you are!
I used Fortel ultra for early testing and got very faint lines with it. They never got darker even when other tests were giving me really dark lines. I don't think there's alot of dye in them so I wouldn't be too concerned that's it's very faint. I think congrats are in order! :D

Thanku do much guys.
I went to docs this morning but he wont give me a blood test untill atleast monday. So guess i just have to hold out till then.
I will let you know how i go
Thanks again

Amber - good luck for the BT Monday then! I think he should have tested anyway as others have had BT's done B4 af was due. Maybe if the wait is killing you go to another medical centre & get tested. Maybe you could act all vague about when af is due & then they should do the tests? Sneaky I know but if it was me I know the wait would be unbearable !!! Fingers crossed for you.

yeah i think he should of tested anyway. i was going to suggest the same as mummyto1 and just act vague about when AF is due saying u think u might be overdue!
monday is a very long wait, i hope u can hold old but if not yeah i would just find another dr simply just for BT purposes

I did a Clearblue digital today and it said not pregnant but then took it out and there was a very faint line...I think I am expecting it a bit early as I think I am only 9 or 10 DPO. Anyway, lets hope the faint line means something.

Good luck with the drs on monday.

Taybey good luck over the next few days! that faint line hopefully turns into a dark one and u get a clear BFP!

Hi taybey
Sorry dont mean to put a downer on things but the ditgital ones all have two llines on them even if you not preggers.
But good luck to you!!!!
Hope you get your BFP soon
Amber

Hey amber, thats how i got my bt, said af was due earlier then what it was (only by a day or two) but it was enough to warrant a BT.

With the digital ones, how do you know that two lines show up even if your not pg??

Hi Naomi
There is a website i found called pee on a stick
I found it really usefull although a little dissapointing to learn that two lines is normal cause i had my hopes up.
Well no sign of AF for me yet but i do have cramps which isnt a good sign.
Good luck to All

Amber

Hey Amber,

That was an interesting read. It sounds quite silly to me, like they are trying to branch 2 products into one to save money on producing them to make money selling them.

have you tried any other test since then?

I too had cramping around AF time, with your previous tests, i do believe there is a greater chance of you being pg then not, and that it was too early to when you tested.
Although i will be the first to admit i have had a false + in the past, but believe that was a chemical pg.

As AF is due monday?? if you tested (not using the digital one) you may get a stronger answer, it may take away some negative thoughts leading into the bt on monday.
My first bt came back saying i was in the middle, there was a chance i was and a chance that i might not be, b/c the bt was done early in the pg, he told me to come back in a week, i didnt believe him, went to my normal Dr (couldnt get in to see him b4) and asked for a test that showed the levels, it came back saying your early but are def pg!

Goodluck and let us know of any outcomes you have.
Wishing you a BFP!!!

Thanks Amber for the info, glad to have that information now than get my hopes up. We are not seriously trying but not preventing. We are happy if it happens, not stressed if it doesn't. I was just curious I guess. With my two previous pregnancies I got the cheaper branded tests so will probably stick with those. The only reason I tested was because I have been off my food, sore nipples and also really tired but it may be my brain playing games...time will tell.

Thanks again
Heidi

If you get a faint line - chances are good that your pregnant.
I tested when I was one week late but got a negative. I was not trying to get pregnant.
I was feeling odd though, really sore boobs & feeling tired. And I was put off alcohol.
I tested again a week later (when I was 5 weeks) negative again. I even did a digital which said not pregnant but had two lines when I took the strip out. A week later again I tested agin and got a VERY faint line, and i was 6 WEEKS! The next few days and a few more tests with darker lines and a digital that clearly said PREGNANT - I was happy to finally have an answer. I must produce hCG very slowly. I can't believe the women that get a positive before their AF comes.

Hi Naomi,
Well i doesnt matter now as AF came this morning.
I really dont understand as i got a BFP only last night.
Oh well it all happens for a reason.

Good luck Heidi and everyone else.
Amber

So sorry to hear Amber, big hugs to you.
Is AF full on?? I dont want to keep your hope up or anything but is it a chance that it could be implantation bleed?
If it is AF, prehaps you could have had a chemical pg.

big hugs to you sweetie

Amber so sorry AF arrived but as Naomi said maybe u had a chemical pregnancy? maybe it would be good to see your gp seings u did get a BFP?

Amber, so sorry af turned up. What a rollercoaster for you this month - you have strengthened my resolve NOT to test early this month because of the false hope it can give. Big hugs to you & all the best for your next cycle.

Thanks so much girls!!!!
Im pretty surei t is AF as it is very heavy.
Good luck to all you girls and i will see you in my next TWW
Bye :)
Amber`

So sorry to hear Amber.

I went and did a Pregnosis yesterday and it was neg...might not be our month either. I am not due for AF till the 1/3 so am no where near being late or anything. I have felt a bit off today but like I mentioned before it is probably my brain playing tricks.

Will keep you posted...I hate the 2ww, it always seems soooo long! So much for "if it happens it happens"...I am hopeless. Will defintely wait for AF before I test again.

Heidi
