Test help

Hi everyone

I tested positive on Monday morning a day before my period was due. Dates worked out 4weeks 4 days today I think

I have tested every morning since (and yesterday afternoon), this would be a much wanted rainbow baby. The tests are all the same brand.

I have had 4 early miscarriages, 1 ectopic and I have found out that I have a unicornuate uterus.

I’m on cyclogest, twice daily. I’ve had no pain or bleeding. I have a reassurance scan 21/11/26.

I have been horrifically exhausted for a few days, and some nausea this morning (probably just anxiety)

Should I contact EPAU about the tests not getting darker? Or am I worrying about nothing.

Those tests look really good for only 4 weeks 4 days. I was very worried about line progression having had 2 chemicals this year and from looking at various posts down the Google hole I found that some women don’t get dark lines until around 20 DPO until then you can’t really tell either way. You could wait a few days then try a digital if you’re worried. I don’t think the EPU will do anything until you’re at least 6 weeks

Is this an edited photo? It's not good quality. You can't compare dried to fresh tests, so take a picture when it's fresh and then compare.

I wouldn't get so het up about progression from day to day. Try to test every 2/3 days instead.

But sounds like there's nothing to worry about here.

And I forgot to say congratulations. Wishing you the best. Pregnancy after loss is never the same but your tests are looking good so I hope all works out 🙏 also if you’ve had several losses before you should check if your trust offers early scans. Found out that mine does scans at 6, 8 and 10 weeks if you’ve had more than 2 losses.
