Daughter has very faint line on pregnancy test

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?

Wishing your Daughter all the luck in the world big hugs and love ?

There is always another side of the coin. I always wanted children and had (I think) an early miscarriage. Eventually I reconciled myself to not having children. Down the line I met a lovely man with four children. Two of those children whole heartedly accepted me into their lives and now I have five lovely grandchildren who adore me and I adore them. Obviously I sincerely hope that things work out for your daughter, but I just wanted to say that even if things don’t go to her life plan, that sometimes you end up in an place you don’t expect to be and it can be wonderful. Wishing you all the luck in the world ?

I think being 4 days late on a regular 28 day cycle a positive line would be clear. Bleeding is quite common, but so are chemical pregnancies sadly- wishing all positive for her.

I really think its a mistake to test too early ,it would just make her anxious.Better if she could leave it a couple of weeks at least .Somehow a "late period" is much easier to deal with than an early mis.I hope it all goes well for her ,stressing wont be good for her though so try to keep her calm

That photo definitely looks positive. Hope all goes well for her.

Good luck!

A scan at this point would not reassure as there may be no heartbeat yet

Additional reassurance scans are recognised as a valid way to support pregnant women who have had miscarriages or other pregnancy/birth losses.
Good luck with it all xx

I haemorrhaged at 3 months with DS2 we're talking bright red blood soaking bath towels. It stopped and restarted right up to 6 mths pregnant. Baby born normal full term but piece of placenta missing and had resealed. Don't give up hope All the best xx

I was told I'd never have children - and had 3! My lovely daughter has just become a mum in her mid 30s for the first time against all the odds (gynae problems) - a bonny baby girl. Don't give up hope, wishing you all the very best.

I experienced irregular periods so this was no way of knowing if I was pregnant. My most accurate test was managing to get to the bathroom when first out of bed in the morning before throwing up.

JaneNJ Tue 25-Feb-20 14:11:26

Going through the same with my daughter. She had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and had to terminate the second pregnancy at 17 weeks. (It was determined it wasn’t viable).
She & husband had multiple tests including the testing of the aborted fetuses helped tremendously since they found no genetic issues or anything family related. They were told it was just random and to try again. The good news, which it seems with your daughter, is the ability to conceive. So many young women nowadays have fertility problems. So while anxiety is expected, we are all staying positive.

I hope everything will be okay, fingers crossed bless her x

sharon103 Tue 25-Feb-20 13:18:22

It looks like a clear line to me too but the doctor will be able to confirm.
I hope all goes well.

That’s a horrid comment about war camp. Is it a troll?

SirChenin and Nannan2 both had faint lines and now have adult children. Hope all goes well this time Nanaju.

How sad and challenging for all of you. Demonstrate patience even if she doesn’t..

jaylucy Tue 25-Feb-20 12:45:52

P S My son is now nearly 34 !

jaylucy Tue 25-Feb-20 12:44:54

Fingers crossed that it is a positive result for her. It is a scary time for her , but a visit to the GP is a must.
I too had a stillbirth , followed by a miscarriage and when it came to my third pregnancy , I was just about a nervous wreck !
Thankfully, I had an amazing GP (I was in Australia at the time) who took great care of me throughout. The number of blood an urine tests, and ultrasounds that I had were above and beyond the normal pregnancy rate, but well worth it and very reassuring.
Unfortunately, when it came to the actual birth (2 weeks BDD) my wonderful GP was on a call with another patient elsewhere in the hospital and missed the birth by 20 minutes!

notreallyagran Tue 25-Feb-20 12:44:26

So have I

SirChenjin Tue 25-Feb-20 12:17:09

I’ve reported the stupid war camp post.

SirChenjin Tue 25-Feb-20 12:16:02

That looks like a pretty clear line! Fingers and toes crossed for you all smile

It was third time lucky for my DD. The stats for baby loss were a total surprise to me. Every step of the way was torment for DD during that final pregnancy but the outcome was a happy one. Here's hoping for your DD too.
