It's still very early (4 wks) but I got a faint positive test yesterday morning and this morning were both negative. 3rd pregnancy but with the first two I tested clearly and consistently, so this one has me a bit baffled. We lost our first baby at 10 weeks, 2nd one made it and this one is a surprise. Trying not to dwell on it and retest in a few days but wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar? We have a high deductible plan so don't want to rush to the OB for a blood test until I see a definitive bold second line... so strange... false positives are rare but I've heard they happen...?

Urine could have just been more diluted. I'd give it a couple days and test again

Hi ive been getting faint positives for about a week now so i decided to do a blood test. I used this online company : walkinlab.com

I paid only $39 for the Quantitative HCG beta blood test. Its a prepaid service which they are partnered with labcorp. You go in and take your test and thats it. Next day results. Hope this helps i know how it is with tryn not to spend too much especially when we arnt sure if we are or are not pregnant. Good luck love!!! Have my fingers crossed for you!!!

@mrsestevenz,

Thank you everyone!! Hubby came home with boxes tonight so we'll text over the weekend and see what happens come Monday. I'm not feeling any of my pre-period symptoms and bouts of queasy and fatigue with sore boobs when I lay on them (even though I'm still nursing my 15 mo old), so staying hopeful!! I'll let you know!!

Mrsestevenz, thank you for that link!! Super helpful and I'll probably go that route!!

@swiftchick1618,

May I ask, did you end up being pregnant? I just experienced that today with the positive, then negative. It’s an emotional up and down when you can’t tell which is correct!

Unfortunately it's possible that you're experiencing a chemical pregnancy. Meaning the fertilized egg implanted and hcg started to be produced, but for one reason or another your body can decide the pregnancy isn't viable and you'll begin to miscarry. However, since your 4 weeks (meaning your period was due around now) you would mostly feel cramps along with AF. Before home pregnancy tests, of if you didn't realize you were late, you wouldn't even notice the difference.

All you can do is keep faith that there's another explanation; like PP said, your urine could have been more diluted, or maybe it wasn't a long enough hold (3 hours with 0-minimal liquids).

If the pregnancy is viable you can expect your Hcg to double every 48-72 hours, so test again tomorrow or in 2 days with a good hold.

Fingers crossed for you!

Keep us updated!

I had the same thing. Did a blood test and come back positive with a hcg level of 21. Most pregnancy tests only show positive for 25 and up. I did a clear blue digital test.

Don't worry too much yet! I got a VFBFP on the morning of 6/2 with FMU. Negative that same evening. Negatives on several tests for the next two days. My VFBFP showed back up in the evening on 6/5 and has been getting darker ever since. I retested yesterday and my line was way darker than Monday! Keep testing!

I’ve had a ‘chemical pregnancy’ but I really don’t like that name it’s like daggers in my heart. Was a couple of years ago now but still awful. But then again with both my pregnancies that one and then my little girl now who’s 6 months old I always got really really faint lines for some reason when I would of been like 5 weeks x
