Should I be concerned about faint BFPs? - update - Loss mentioned

btsrc5 · December 2015

Should I be concerned that my bfp lines are still so faint?

Lmp- Nov 19
O'ed- Dec 1
First very faint bfp at 10dpo
Currently 14dpo
EDD 8/23

I got a positive on a Clear Blue digital at 12dpo

I called the nurse at my OB office and she said as long as there is a line, it doesn't matter how faint it is. She wouldn't entertain my idea of having blood work done.

My tests look slightly darker irl than in the picture, but still so faint. ...

Normal, I would stop testing for a week. I had to put down the pee sticks because I was driving myself crazy trying to analyze them.

Really put them down and try again in a week I bet you will see a drastic change then. It is still early for dark sticks mine didn't get dark dark till I was about 5 weeks along.

You should probably just stop testing, especially if it's driving you crazy. You turned a digital which is about as positive as it's going to get. Congratulations!

FWIW, my doctor doesn't do blood tests unless there's a history of loss or you have other concerns, like spotting. It's pretty normal to just trust the HPTs. A line is a line!

Thanks for the reassurance. I will try not to test as often.

I got a faint + at 9DPO and it didn't get any darker at all. I'm 6w3d and still pregnant. Try to relax, a positive is a positive.

Mine didn't get as dark as the control until week 5

Thank you for asking this question, I'm freaking out and compulsively testing over here too! My lines are so so faint and no changes. DH said to me tonight, 'you know you were convinced there was a problem and you'd miscarry with DS1 too right?'
