hello ladies, I am in freak out mode. I had my m/c at almost 9 weeks and a D and C on May 23rd. Aftr AF came a month later I figured my husband and I would give it a try being that it took 3 months to concieve my daughter and about 5 months to concieve the baby I lost. I took lots of ovulation tests (even the clear blue fertility monitor) and could not detect an LH surge. So I figured I did not ovulate and was not too worried because I know that ovulation does not always happen in the first couple of months after a m/c. Well, I was on CD 29 yesterday and about a day late and took a pregnancy test and it was negative. So today, still no AF, but I was cramping and figured she would come soon. Being the pee on a stick alholic that I am I took a test in the afternoon and almost fell over when a very faint pink line appeared. I am terrfied. First, am I pregnant, the line is very light? Second, if I am, is it too soon. I honestly did not expect this to happen so soon. I am so happy if I am pregnant, but so scared.

Aww thats really great your pregnant! I think everything will be ok :) the faint pink line only means you had a little bit of the hormone, but you will get a darker line soon.
Congrats! Good luck go to the dr asap :)

Congratulations. You are pregnant!!!!!!!!
I tested and got that faint result. I waited another 3 days and retested and got a darker line. I would suggest buying a digital test if you can't wait that long. YAHOO!!!! HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!

Congratualations!!! you are defo pregnant it dosnt matter how faint the line is if its there the pregnancy hormone is in your body and a pregnancy test cant be wrong as that hormone has to be there for the test to be positive, well done and good luck xx

Sounds like a BFP to me! Congrats to you and good luck!

deleted_user 07/21/2008

I had the same thing happen, I never had a cycle after my m/c on May 21st. Then in June I had a very light BFP that kept getting darker. I would suggest that you contact your dr., and CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always been told that any line, no matter how faint, is a positive. So it sounds like you are pregnant. As for not detecting the LH surge, I use the Clear Blue fertility monitor too and this month it did not show a peak reading, but because I was also taking BBT, I confirmed that I was ovulating. So it is possible!

deleted_user 07/21/2008

It doesn't matter how faint the line is, as long as it's there. Congrats!!

deleted_user 07/22/2008

Any line even if it's faint is a positive. Congratulations!! You're bound to be worried, anyone who's had a mc would be the same. It's not too soon, you can become fertile again after only 2 weeks and it makes no difference how long you wait, it doesn't affect your chances of another mc. I know I will be nervous when I get pregnant again, but I'm keeping positive. Stay positive honey! I wish you all the luck in the world for a happy ending! x x

Its sounds like you definitely got your BFP. Congrats! Call your doctor when you get a chance. Getting checked out may help ease your mind. Congrats again (:

thanks all for your responses. I took another test the day after and still had another faint line. the next day I took a digital test and it said not pregnant. So I took a this line test the same day and the line was gone. It is day 33 of my cycle and no AF and no more lines. Very confused.

deleted_user 07/22/2008

Oh hun, call the dr and get the blood test. If you do it in the morning, mine gets the results to me by the afternoon. Good luck! One positive test usually means pg, but that would confuse the heck out of me too. I'll be praying for you!!!

AF arrived today...day 34. She was very late for me. Not sure what to think, but I am going with the 'flo' so to speak and hoping for a BFP next month.

deleted_user 07/24/2008

A line is a line!!!!!!! take a digital test to be sure but this is great news. No I don't think it's too soon. I just had a conversation with my doctor today. He said to wait one to two cycles only to keep track of ovulation. So the fact that you had one cycle, you are going to be ok. Call your doctor and take care of yourself!! Congrats, your story gives me hope!

deleted_user 07/24/2008

sorry, I should have read your other replies. Sorry....I thought a line meant pregnant, that's weird. But hey getting AF is a good sign of healthy cycles....sorry again
