Q: Am I pregnant?

ok, AF is now 4 days late, and I have been getting feint BFP's for the past 5 days.....18 tests in total (lol). All tests have shown a feint positive. But the lines are still quite feint and don't appear to be getting darker. I have low progesterone levels, so have to take progesterone vaginally for the 1st 3 months of a pregnancy (TMI!)- I just wondered if the progesterone could be affecting the test results, or if it is ok that I haven't had a strong positive yet? We have such a low chance of pregnancy that even with all of these tests results...I am still uncertain

My dr. told me a positive test is a positive test and to not worry about the lines getting darker immediately. As you get further along into the pregnancy, the line should darken. It is still very early so I would try not to worry about it too much. Mine didn't darken until 6 weeks or so and I am now 26 weeks. Good luck

I am in the Uk, so the DRs do not check your HCG levels :( (cost savings!!) My 1st contact with a health care professional would not be until the 12 week scan :( I had a chemical pregnancy before - but only knew because I tested way too early....I haven't tested early this time, so thought that I would be past the stage where there is still a risk of a chemical pregnancy? So confused :( the lines are feint, but very easy to see - not super feint. Is there any hope?

I take progesterone supplements too. I was able to get a positive the day of my missed period. I don't think that should change it in any way. Sorry.

I got my 1st positive the day before AF was due. AF always comes, as clockwork on CD28, I am never late. The lines are staying consistent...not getting lighter and are clearly positives, no matter what time of the day I test.......and all the digital tests come up with "pregnant" straight away. I think I am just going to keep everything crossed for the next week or so. Thank you ladies...and baby dust to you all xx

Have you been getting your hcg levels checked? Faint positives that aren't getting darker could be indication of a chemical pregnancy. I would call your dr and follow-up with them. Best of luck!

According to my obgyn, you can still have a chemical pregnancy up until 6 weeks or when you hcg reaches 2000. Hopefully those lines start getting darker for you! Keep us posted!
