Today looks more promising then.good luck with this! ( my faint lines also are now 21 and soon 17 ! Both at uni& college) incidentally both were born prematurely,no idea if thats connected or not to any 'hormones'?-but probably not.dont want to give you even more to worry about!smile

Thank you for your responses, update is no bleeding and a test yesterday shows more than a faint line. She has a doctors appointment to see if her hcg's are rising.

My very faint line is now 20 years old and typing her university essay in the next room smile

Every pregnancy is different though, as you’ll know - only time will tell whether your DD will have a successful outcome. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and good wishes thanks

Sorry, I missed where you said she is 4 days late. She could be lucky, hope so.

They test for everything so early now, and then get anxious around it which doesn’t help. I had all this with my daughter. You can now get tests which pick up the pregnancy hormone before implantation, which is why you get the very faint line. She could be pregnant, but it needs to implant, and this is the crucial stage. Years ago, we knew nothing of this of course, and think we were better for it. The key thing is to relax and wait. Easy to say I know, my daughter was on tenterhooks! Hope it works out positive for her.

I did. Tests are accurate so early nowadays, and it shows up a pregnancy when it would have been considered just a late period, so you experience a baby loss - when before it wouldn't have meant much. I do hope that the pregnancy continues. a bit of breakthrough bleeding is quite common in the early months. But I think (and I hope I am wrong) that the faintness of the lines means the hormones are not strong, and may not maintain the pregnancy. Wishing her all the love and luck in the world. (BTW - Clearblue was the only test I would trust)

Its a little late for implantation bleeding.

Some people bleed throughout pregnancies but on the other hand, sometimes early testing just adds to upset x

My eldest daughter has been through a lot these last twelve months, One miscarriage and one still birth, she is 4 days late with no symptoms other than burping, she has taken a test using clear blue and a very faint line appeared, (I struggle to see it), today she has seen a tiny bit of pink after wiping. She is very anxious and worried about a chemical pregnancy or ectopic, always over thinks. I have told her to be patient and wait a few more days to see if bleeding occurs and re-test using a digital test in a few days if not. I am so worried for her. Would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this?
