Three faint positives. Not getting darker!

dmasciocchi · May 2018

**Removed by Admin**

First off I’d like to say over on the TTC boards I was treated very, very rudely and I can’t believe I am even still using this site but I feel like I need some help and guidance. I was told that my “pee sticks were gross” and that I should have posted here instead of ther. I’m new to these boards and have never used them before and I feel as though they could have been a little more sensitive to that but clearly they are just rude fucking women. Anyway on to what I would like opinions on...

I had my Mirena IUD removed the first week of April. After that I had a regular period starting April 8th. I ttc when my Life app said I was ovulating between April 18-23. My period is now due to start tomorrow but I had a clear negative on the 30th and then I had a 2 very faint positives the 4th and 5th. That same night I took a digital and it said not pregnant. I just took the last one dated the 5th a few minutes ago and still no darker! I’m going crazy but trying not to test again until I miss my period. Please help me out with your opinions or experiences with the same thing and what happened!

So just an fyi, lots of us (most) read and participate in multiple boards so your little preface paragraph there will be seen by all, not to mention everyone on 1st tri can see your post history on how you responded to the women on ttgp, we are all still a close knit community, this board (1st tri) ALSO HAS THE SAME RULES PINNED AT THE TOP OF THE THREADS which you still have apparently not read. There is ONE PLACE for pee sticks and this is not it. Seriously. Read around a little bit before you jump into making multiple threads, as your question has either likely already been answered or it's not something we will be able to answer for you and simply take a few more days to find out.

Well clearly all of you only care about the women who have been on here and know how to navigate around the site and have no consideration for women who are new to this even though you all were once. Apparently I have no place on this site anywhere.

Like really...its not that hard to become a part of this community but that's not really what you are doing...you're coming in asking for Google. I get that it's hard to be in limbo but were not just here to answer your questions, we give a shit about each other because theres investment in each other not just barging in without "caring about the rules" and calling everyone "fucking rude women"....not exactly your best entrance.

How did I miss this gem earlier? I needed Sunday entertainment and this would have totally worked.

OP, it's probably not a good idea to walk up to a bunch of strangers and show them sticks you've peed on. A line is a line. You're pregnant but we aren't doctors. We can't explain why your lines aren't getting a lot darker. You would have to have beta HCG drawn at your doctors office to make sure the HCG number is going up as it should. But take comfort knowing you're pregnant for now. Don't overthink it. It doesn't do any good. Trust me. I've lost three babies and worrying didn't change any of those outcomes. The odds are in your favor. Trust in that.

Oh and digitals aren't as sensitive. If you read all the rules and be polite then you are welcome and can join us over in January but we don't put up with a-holes so keep that in mind.

Girl, pee sticks are gross! You peed on them, no one needs to see that. I think my own pee stick was gross. You could have posted this same post without the pee sticks and still gotten all the necessary info across.

Second, there is a post pinned at the top of this board labeled "The Bump Guidelines" that says not to post pee sticks except in the pee stick post also at the top. It's pretty common forum etiquette to read the rules and skim through any stickied posts before posting. Finally, you're still early. Wait a few more days and see what happens.

ETA: Also, if it were me and I was called out for breaking the rules, I would take extra care to find the rules and read them carefully before posting again. I don't understand why you wouldn't find the rules and make sure you're following them before posting again.

I don't understand what you think strangers on the internet can you tell that you can't answer yourself or your Dr. None of us know you or quite frankly care about you. You haven't given us a chance. There is a ton of support in this community but posting your pee sticks in ttgp and asking if you're pregnant is not the way to get it.

Not to mention coming here and bashing them on top of it....

I suggest lurking for a few days. Maybe in that time you're tests will darken.

So you give what seemed like an honest, heartfelt apology on TTGP only to come over here and bash us. As others said, people can see your post history. Also, once again, you missed the very obvious posts pinned at the top that would have told you there is a specific thread where you can post these.

And yes, we were all new to this once. But we either read the rules and followed them or were admonished when we didn't and moved on and have become members who are incredibly supportive of each other and occasionally even supportive of drive-bys such as yourself, as long as they follow the rules.
