Pregnancy tests, ovulation and ovulation tests
another early miscarriage?
I hope you can help/advice me.
In June I had an early miscarriage at five weeks. The test lines stayed faint and didn't get darker. Now it's October and I tested light positive three days before my expected period, and the lines were getting darker! Also, the Clear Blue said 1-2 weeks pregnant!
Yesterday or today was my expected period. Yesterday the Kruidvat line was lighter/didn't get darker in my opinion. Scared, I rushed to the store and bought a new Clear Blue digital. This said 1-2 weeks pregnant even though the Kruidvat 2 days before my period was really lighter. Tested again this morning, Kruidvat is the same as yesterday. And Clear Blue now says not pregnant.
I'm afraid or rather sure that this will turn out to be my period/early miscarriage again. Or is it due to fluctuating hCG? What do you think?
Now I'm worried that something is wrong with me. It's clear that I can get pregnant, implantation works because otherwise you couldn't measure hCG, but then something goes wrong early in the process. Is this a coincidence? What could be wrong? How can you get this investigated without the GP saying we should just wait another year? I'll be 32 in half a year, and don't want to wait another year. But that option exists because I'm apparently fertile.
I'm really struggling right now. Hopefully you have advice. And I assume I should go by Clear Blue's result from this morning and therefore am not pregnant? I now understand why they advise against testing before your expected period

Hey, that sucks for Jo. I can't really advise you, only support you. I had a very faint positive test last month and got my period 4 days late. That's so disappointing, so a big virtual hug!
I think you already have a valuable piece of information from the early test.. the egg gets fertilized as you say, but something goes wrong in the division or genetically, causing your body to reject the embryo anyway.
I'd still have a chat with your GP to see if there's a possibility to investigate something. Even if it's just to put your mind at ease.
You're definitely not the only one testing early. I'm 34 and we're trying for the 2nd, and not even the last one in our opinion, so time is also an issue here. That's what those things are for, right? -

Hey Jo, I also tested 5 days before my period, and it was very faint positive. Then I tested again before my period, and it was still very faint. Even 2 days after my period started, the test remained very faint (I even doubted if there was a line at all because it was so light). It wasn't until 4-5 days after my period that the line started to darken and became clearly positive, so it's possible
The only thing is, I can't explain the digital test... Maybe get a blood test? -

I don't know anymore either -

Try testing again tomorrow morning? -
Jo started this #6
Yeah, maybe. I tested this morning and there's a faint line (Action). But it's not a clear positive. And with the negative Clear Blue digital result in my head, which was positive at first, I really don't know.
My breasts are still sore, and I have clear discharge.
If I hadn't taken the Clear Blue twice, I wouldn't know any better than thinking I'm pregnant.
No idea what to think. I can only wait, I'm afraid. I can't think of anything else. -

That's so frustrating, Jo, with all the uncertainty.. Unfortunately, I can't advise you on anything except maybe getting your blood tested next week for your own peace of mind? Then you'll know a little more...
I really hope you get a positive result anyway!! -

There's definitely something going on (or was?) with you still having a faint line. I think you could do a blood test to be sure. -
Jo started this #9
Just started bleeding, pink and brown. So now I have certainty.
